ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Round Robin Assistant holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Round Robin Assistant has 256 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Tournaments's written reviews are positive against 47% of Round Robin Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tournaments ships an update weekly, Round Robin Assistant every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
