User Reviews

Too difficult to reduce the number of scores if added by mistake. Touch controls are ridiculously small for even small fingers.

by Be*****, 2024-09-04

We have a neat idea here but execution is lacking. The screen is all squished together on the phone with no ability to scroll any of the sections. As a result you cannot enter a second team and cannot see the full button for the annual subscription (not that you would buy based on current functionality).
