### 2/5 — Like / hate relationship

*2026-05-24, version 3.81.1*

Baited everyone in with a free app. The PB community supported them. Then they screw the community by adding fees. Now I can’t open the app without giving my phone number. Eff you. Peace out.

### 2/5 — It was a good run

*2026-03-18, version 3.75.0*

It’s a good app but a little buggy. I’ve reported it a few times but never resolved. I’m deleting the app. If anyone knows of an alternative or similar app, please let me know. For know, I googled a website that does similar things so will use it going forward.

### 2/5 — Free to fee

*2026-02-19, version 3.72.4*

Good luck Swish with that move. I found something else very quickly

### 4/5 — Good, not great.

*2026-02-16, version 3.72.3*

Our 75 member group really appreciated the app until they went for the money grab and priced their product three or four times what competitors charge for premium service. Bums me out because I like the app but not worth that price.  Groups should be 25 per month and individual $1.00.

### 2/5 — Charging too much for app

*2026-01-22, version 3.71.1*

They are going to start charging $4 per a month or $30 per a year and I don’t think it’s worth it if there’s other free apps out there doing the same thing for free. 
Also when you do the mixed partner RR it will pair the same two males for 4-5 out of 8 rounds. 
Going to try a different app to create games.

### 2/5 — No support

*2026-01-11, version 3.71.1*

Developer never responds to support queries. Website refers users to useless general videos. No way to get answers about specific functions. Videos are all about humor, not info. No user manual.

### 3/5 — Unnecessary validation causes chaos

*2026-01-08*

Please remove the validation step when entering scores that prevents scores submissions if any other court has scores posted n the next round!!!!!!!!!
This limitation is totally unnecessary snd causes chaos when players can’t enter scores when a single court gets ahead of others. This prevents the entering of scores on slower courts for no reason and that inability to enter scores then spreads from one court to three, then five, then seven in subsequent rounds!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-11-06*

Swish is a dreadful app. Tournaments run using Swish are a disorganised mess and the app functions so poorly

### 1/5 — Algorithm

*2025-10-18, version 3.66.11*

Gave me the same opponent 5 times in 8 games.  Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-10-05, version 3.66.10*

Used this app at a tournament today. 75% of the people couldn’t use the app as it wouldn’t show the current or future games. UI needs improvement to easily enter scores. Very buggy.

### 1/5 — Many bugs

*2025-09-30, version 3.66.8*

Can’t edit games end time.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-09-13, version 3.66.4*

It does what it says but it’s hard to navigate. Loading feels like dial-up. I’m waiting and waiting to the point that I don’t think it’s working and then it opens. Makes no sense. Fortunately for me the local club pays for the app if not for that I would delete the app.

### 1/5 — ⚠️ WARNING: Fraudulent card charges after signup

*2026-08-22*

During the sign-up process, a payment popup appeared that looked like part of the app’s normal checkout. I entered my debit card info there. Within a short time, fraudulent transactions showed up on that card. I immediately deleted my account, uninstalled the app, and had my bank cancel and reissue the card.
I was told by someone using this app for group bookings that it’s supposed to be free for users — which makes the card popup during signup even more concerning. If it’s free, there’s no clear reason a card entry screen with no visible payment processor branding should appear at all during signup.
I can’t say for certain how the charges are connected, but the timing was too close to ignore, and the popup did not look like a standard, trustworthy payment flow. Do not enter real card information into this app without serious caution. If you’ve already signed up, check your bank statements closely. I’ve reported this to my bank and to Apple.

### 1/5 — Customer Service is non-responsive

*2026-07-12, version 3.83.1*

Signed up for a city league that requires participants use swish app for ladder play and connecting to DUPR. However, Swish customer service is not responsive in dealing with a password mishap. Multiple contacts to customer service and crickets… not impressed!

### 1/5 — Rubbish would be an understatement

*2026-05-30, version 3.81.2*

App doesn’t work half the time. Members can’t log in. Can’t start games. No emails generated for log in. CourtReserve integration doesn’t work. Half the time goes dealing with the stupid app. 
If you’ve built an app that need the user to watch hours of tutorials to see how to set up a simple round robin game… you’re doing it wrong. 
Absolutely no reason for a club to pay for this junk.

### 1/5 — Good luck on the pricing

*2026-03-29, version 3.76.0*

Probably worth $1-$2 a month for the convenience of not having to use sheets and write down names to keep track. Not everyone has a dupr or wants to. Was ok while it lasted. 

I’ll stick to my bend pickleball sheets for running round robins.

### 1/5 — Goodbye Swish

*2026-02-08, version 3.72.3*

It was fun. Decent app with limitations but no way anyone is getting every person in the playing group to pay for a monthly subscription. Good thing there are other options available

### 1/5 — Pay wall for use now

*2026-02-07, version 3.72.3*

I set up a rotating partner round robin events several times a month. I used the app to create the game and I just manually added players. The new paywall system for use is not going to work with us. I will just keep sheets printed in my bag. I know clubs are paying to use Swish. Make money on their back.

### 1/5 — This App is a scam

*2026-02-02, version 3.72.2*

I was using this free App for a month or two and then it required a fee to continue to use it, which I paid $29.99 annual fee.  Then as I was entering players into a round robin tournament format, the App prevented me from adding more than 3 players unless I paid for an upgraded subscription that cost $79.99 per year.  This was a total bait and switch.  I immediately canceled my subscription and will never use this scam App again.

### 1/5 — Changing to subscription model

*2026-01-28, version 3.72.2*

Not worth paying for for a casual group to play pickleball. Created barrier to inviting new people to come play. Would like a bare bones, one time fee or free option. Adamantly opposed to a subscription for the basic organizational features this app provides.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2025-12-15, version 3.71.0*

I normally do not have trouble using apps and this one is the exception. It does not let me enter information. It takes a day for a password reset email to come to me and by that time it has expired. I hate, hate this app

### 1/5 — Is the only app where I can’t link my DUPR

*2025-11-12, version 3.68.0*

I can’t link my DUPR please solve it

*2026-01-29*

I am a new member and had a bit of difficulty on my end getting everything set up.  The people at swish were so helpful and kind and had a great response time!  We even had to email numerous times back and forth and each time they responded very quickly.  Excited to start using the app at a higher level!  Thanks swish!

### 5/5 — Great for tournaments
