I’m not sure if it’s a bug ### 5/5 — Unexpected Surprise. *2024-03-15* So, I’m doing a big Smash Ultimate season with mine and my brother’s amiibo fighters, and…we have a lot, I have 228 amiibo fighters alone, both figurines and ntag215 cards. I’m making the round robin bracket for the 228 I have, and to my surprise, it was able to create the bracket. So, 227 rounds, with 114 matches per round, and this app somehow did it. It took about 5-6 minutes to do, but it did eventually load, and for that sole reason alone, I give this app 5 stars. LOL ### 5/5 — Great *2024-02-26, version 2.5.4* Awesome! ### 5/5 — Bom *2024-02-01* Legal ### 4/5 — Todo excelente *2024-01-19, version 2.5.4* Todo excelente ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2024-01-05* As a PE teacher this app is invaluable! My students love the tournaments and keeping scores. ### 5/5 — Works great *2023-12-28* I use it for a small tournament every year and it’s flawless. Highly recommended ! ### 4/5 — Awesome App! BUT… *2023-12-17* Great app! Sleek main menu and pairings page design and easy to use! The developers have really done a good job here! But, I don’t think it’s the best on the market… the table is plain/bland… theres decimal points in the “points” section… and the main issue is that others cannot access the league standings unless a pdf is sent to them… …really frustrating because at first glance it’s absolutely perfect but then after using you start seeing minor faults… please work on this app guys because it is so close to being a customers dream! **Developer response:** Hi! I'm working on a big update to the app and would love to hear about your requirements. Please reach out to apps@oval.fi ### 5/5 — Apropos App For Conducting Chess Tournaments *2023-11-27, version 2.5.4* This is the perfect app for managing over the board chess tournaments. Simplistic and convenient. ### 5/5 — Très bien *2023-11-23* Très bien ### 4/5 — Great Tournament platform! *2023-11-22* I ended up buying the premium version and I’m enjoying it very much. I love running tournaments with different games **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your review! Anything I can add to make this a 5-star review? ### 3/5 — I would pay a lifetime for this but *2023-11-20* Great app. Nice and Simple. However, some basics are missing. (1) not possible to edit Tournament details after creating it (2) Really should be easy to pick up players from the phone contact list (3) Not the best looking graphics (4) Sharing game standings (5) I need it for Chess and for a win draw loss the international points are 1, half and zero. Decimal points should be customisable and summable. Like I said, good app but missing finesse. **Developer response:** Hi infinitless! Thank you for your review! 1. Fair point, I think maybe until the tournament is started, you should totally be able to edit the details, but afterwards it becomes a little bit complicated. 2. This is a brilliant idea! I will make sure to add this in the next update! 3. Totally fair - it's a bit outdated! I'm working on an update to make it more modern. 4. You can currently save the standings as a PDF but I'm adding more formats in the next big update. 5. The app was actually originally designed for chess so if you choose "1 point for a win", a draw is worth half a point automatically. I'll make sure to make this clearer. Best, Another UK based chess player :-) (Feel free to reach out at apps@oval.fi if you come up with more improvements!) ### 4/5 — You have to pay *2023-11-20* You have to pay ### 5/5 — Pleasing *2023-11-18* Please allow me to use more then the participant in the tournament thing ### 3/5 — Works well, needs double elimination. *2023-11-02, version 2.5.3* I sent a help request and heard back promptly, so that’s good. ### 3/5 — Great potential but... *2023-10-13* Great app but my main issue is the fact the the ratings can only be calculated once per tournament, so for example my ladder competition can't have Elo ranking being updated over and over whenever I want, ruins the point of the ladder and ratings for it, please fix this asap. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-07-22* Absolutely useless app, waste of 14.99 You start entering players to a tournament you get to the six player the seventh player they want you to purchase again you go round in circles and you can’t do a tournament with no more and six players. The app is absolutely useless ### 1/5 — Impossível testar sem ter que comprar *2023-08-18* Você não consegue simular um evento mediano sem ter que comprar o app ### 1/5 — Impossible to unsubscribe *2023-05-28* I have written everyone in the app since there is an auto renewal mandatory option and then, there is no way to cancel the subscription. Wrote to the App developers and to Apple. I hope I can solve this issue soon and avoid being charged. Regarding the App, is too basic, too simple. Would no recommend it all, **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! I replied to your email but would love to hear some feedback on it, what was missing for you in the app? I'm working on a big update and would love to hear more! ### 1/5 — That is embarrassing *2022-01-02* This app doesn’t let you test it. I tried to test it out with fake teams and fake scores and it makes you pay for a pro version to delete and make more than 1 league. Bull ### 1/5 — It terrible you have to pay *2021-12-30, version 2.5* h ### 1/5 — Idiot payment *2021-07-03, version 2.5* This is the worst yet to buy. You need premium to get this I will delete this app after this update. Do not buy!!!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-12-22* It would be good if you didn’t have to pay so much money and it looks like it allows you to have one without paying but then it says you can only have 6 participants ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it if you want free *2020-10-14* I made a first tournament for test the app and I can’t delete this test without paying a subscription. ### 1/5 — Has potential *2020-08-23, version 2.3.4* This app has potential, but you need to pay just to have more than 6 people! ### 1/5 — Why charge for something so insignificant? *2020-05-07, version 2.0.7* This app would be great if it were actually free, but since it isn’t it’s utterly useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-03-30* This is an amazing app especially if you use it for what it’s made for, my only issue is that it deletes some of the users that I created. I’m not sure if it’s a bug ### 5/5 — Pretty Good *2025-09-06* Very cool ### 5/5 — Best app *2025-05-17* Amazing app needs a lil more improvement but the best one out there ### 5/5 — Great *2025-05-04, version 2.5.4* Good quality and easy to learn so fun ### 5/5 — 5 Star app *2025-03-28* You can make tournaments ### 5/5 — Good *2024-12-28* Pretty easy to use ### 5/5 — Easy Peasy *2024-08-03* This was super easy to set up for Round Robin. Great for playing in a family game night tournament! ### 5/5 — Great For Parties! *2024-07-03* Great simple tool to make brackets for tournaments with friends! Used it for a super smash brothers tournament and never looked back. Easy to use and fantastic UI. ### 5/5 — Just starting trial - best response rate ever! *2024-06-26* I will review the app later but the support response rate is hands-down the best in the business thus far! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2024-06-21* I been looking for an app like this, thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
