### 5/5 — Amazing tournament app

*2026-08-02, version 3.7.3*

Hello tournament team this is an amazing app keep up the good work

### 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？

### 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.

### 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?

### 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!

### 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.

### 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!

### 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.

### 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.
