Test your MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL knowledge by filling out the grid. Fill out the matrix with players that meet the requirements of both the rows and columns. Follow these simple 8 rules: 1. For each cell, choose a player that meets the requirement of both that cell's row and the column. 2. A player counts as playing for a team if they played at least one game for that team. 3. When a cell is for an award and a team, the player needs to have won that award and played for that team. They are NOT required to have won that award while playing on that team. 4. The same player cannot be used in multiple cells. 5. There are as many guesses as there are cells to fill out the entire grid. 6. All guesses, both right and wrong, count as a guess. 7. All active and inactive players can be guessed. 8. Have FUN!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blue 42+ at 75% against Sportrix's 31%. Blue 42+ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Sportrix's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 15). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sportrix sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Blue 42+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sportrix holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sportrix has 2.3K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Sportrix's written reviews are positive against 75% of Blue 42+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sportrix ships an update every 2 days, Blue 42+ weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
