### 2/5 — .

*2026-07-07*

Spent ages making up a tournament and at the final stage telling me I have to sign up to make it.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm confused, you don't have to sign up in order to create or progress a tournament, it is for the hosting features. Also do you have any trouble signing up?

### 2/5 — なんかな

*2026-06-26*

性能はいいんだろうけど少しわかりにくい。サッカーのグループステージを作ろうとしたんですが、少し意味がわからない物が多かったです。使い方がわかれば面白そうだけど

**Developer response:** こんにちは。その方法については、「使い方」やチュートリアル動画に説明があります。もうご覧になりましたか？

### 3/5 — Really good but it’s not working

*2026-06-03*

This app is one of the best tournament apps I have but right now it is not working for me. Every time I create a bracket, it just deletes it.

**Developer response:** Hello, could you contact support through the app and I will look into it.

### 2/5 — Has potential

*2026-04-23*

Great app and looks very professional, but the prices are far too extortionate and non affordable, I have to pay premium for a basic 2 group promotion and relegation tournament. And also could you add playoffs, promotion playoffs and relegation playoffs, this would make it brilliant, 

Thanks

**Developer response:** Hello, building and maintaining an app like this requires significant resources and you described the result of it as well. Playoffs is already present, you can toggle between promotion and relegation in the settings.

### 2/5 — 複数作成したら何を押しても同じものしか開けない

*2026-04-01*

たとえば第1試合から第9試合まで作ったとして、第3試合を開こうとしても第7試合を開こうとしても、ほかのものも何を押しても第9試合の画面が表示される。ほかの表が開けなくなってしまった。時間をかけてまとめたのにこれでは残念です。原因はなんでしょう。

**Developer response:** こんにちは、それはおかしいですね。アプリからご連絡いただけますか？確認させていただきます。

### 3/5 — Expensive

*2026-01-25*

Make this app total free and it would go massive, apps like this are perfect for someone like me who wants to create a tournament but it sucks as everything costs money which i dont have. i recommend allowing it to be more usable for people.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the feedback. Building and maintaining a premium tournament management solution is not cheap hence the costs.

### 4/5 — The round robin doesn’t work

*2026-01-15*

So I was doing a round robin tournament and it say that one team tied with another team but they had no even played each other and also it was the first round and the both lost their games

**Developer response:** Hello, I think you or if you shared someone missclicked on them. This can be easily undone though by just tapping on the participants again.

### 3/5 — NEED MORE TEAMS FREE.

*2026-01-02, version 3.3.3*

Explain why you can only use up to 16 teams if you don’t have premium? I say have up to 24 teams free.

### 4/5 — Great Tournament Building App, But Far Too Expensive.

*2025-12-22*

It is a very useful and easy to use app for creating tournaments, however unless you pay for premium, the app is so limited that it is practically unusable. I have no issue paying for apps, but a £70 yearly subscription fee (Or £13 a month) to use a tournamnet building app on IOS is insane. There are similar apps which offer the same features and amenities (and more), completely free of charge (albeit slighlty less convenient, but i’d rather be slightly inconvenienced than pay £70 a year to use an app).

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Building and maintaining a premium tournament management solution isn't cheap, and I'm committed to continually improving it. At £70/year (£5.8/month), the time saved and professional results justify the investment for serious tournament organizers running regular events.

### 2/5 — No free option

*2025-11-03*

The app says that offline tournaments are available for free, but it’s not. It can be used as a paid app only. Unfortunately, too expensive.

**Developer response:** Hello, I think you are mixing it up, offline tournaments are available for free but it doesn't say the premium features are free.

### 4/5 — 使いやすい

*2025-10-12*

トーナメント表作成アプリの中だと1番使いやすいと思う。広告は無く、課金しなくてもかなりの機能が使えるのは嬉しい。ログインはしなくてもアプリを使える。ただ、このアプリをアップデートすると保存していた写真が全部消えるのでそこは残念だった。

**Developer response:** 素晴らしいレビューとこの問題についてお知らせいただきありがとうございます。次回のアップデートで修正できるよう検討させていただきます。

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-24*

Stupid that you have to pay real money

**Developer response:** Hello, the premium features also requires "real" work. By requiring premium, it supports further development, server costs and maintenance.

### 1/5 — Wasted my time

*2026-06-04, version 3.7.3*

You spend 5-10 minutes on the set up only to find that this IS NOT a free app!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-03-11, version 3.5.1*

64 team tournament. Seed 1 plays seed 64. Seed 2 plays 63. Seed 3 plays 62 etc. but they’re placed sequentially in the brackets so the top ranked teams play each other in the same bracket.

### 1/5 — ÇOK SAÇMA

*2026-02-15, version 3.4.0*

Hesapımla kaydoluyorum, hesap zaten var diyor neredeyse 6 7 hesapla denedim yok olmuyor

### 1/5 — Décevant

*2026-02-11*

On m’a dit que c’était une appli gratuite mais je vois presque rien de gratuit et c’est nul à chier

**Developer response:** Bonjour, C'est une fausse affirmation, l'application propose des fonctionnalités gratuites et les fonctionnalités plus avancées sont payantes.

### 1/5 — If you have like £90 spare itll be good

*2025-12-22*

Installed this game to make a tournament, spent like 20 minutes creating teams for it just for the app to tell me I need premium to make a tournament. I hate games that does this you may aswell just make the game cost money. Also the prices are extortionate LOL can’t believe people actually spend money on this

**Developer response:** Hello, You can create within the free tier. In the create menu it's says which input that requires premium when you change them.

### 1/5 — Unable to get account

*2025-10-24, version 3.0.4*

*2025-09-27, version 3.0.1*

### 1/5 — Actually horrible

### 5/5 — Great but one suggestion.

*2026-06-18, version 3.7.3*

I love this App but can you guys please add a baseball World Series bracket in the game?

### 5/5 — Good for my son

*2026-05-04*

This is so good for my done because when he plays soccer he forgets what place he is in so that is why I think this app is the best for my son.

**Developer response:** That's awesome, thank you for the nice review!

### 5/5 — Suggestion/s

*2026-04-12*

It’s good, but I wish that all tournament styles were for free, and I wish that you could reorganize your tournaments & groups for free, and I wish that you could set a grid view for everything for free.

### 5/5 — الافضل

*2026-03-29, version 3.6.1*

افضل تطبيق مجاني للبطولات انصح بيه

### 5/5 — Love It

*2026-03-15*

I think this is a really cool app, and i think it’s gotten some GREAT updates. The jerseys look great for the team logo and it honestly is a great app. My ONLY suggestion is to get rid of premium, but i understand why there is premium. So the suggestion about premium is to make a unlimited option where you only have one payment and you have it forever. Thanks, and great app! -DogeLShibe

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review, more cool stuff coming soon and the premium subscription makes it possible.

### 5/5 — 6 stars if I could
