Pros and cons of Bracketbuddy app for iPhone and iPad

Bracketbuddy app good for

I think there should be a delete tourney button or something incase a tourney becomes obsolete. Other than that its great.
Yeah, it has glitches, but I defy you to find a bracket app that allows for this many options. My only wish is for the app to allow for the option of a tournament after the round robin and pool modes. Other than that, a great app!
This app is alright. I really wish the makers would fix the crashing when you look at the brakets
Best bracket app i have seen it would be a lot better if it did not crash a lot
Its better than other apps by far...but haha butt it crashes alot
I love that it supports up to 32 players/teams. Used it last night for minute to win it, and it worked out great. Better than the last bracket app I have, only supported 8.

Some bad moments

This app crashes constantly. CONSTANTLY. It also has a third round game listed as 1st rounds. Also if you have best of 5 series to move thru the bracket, the "stats" it tracks are bracket advances, not individual games. (ie: best of 5 team A wins 3-2. The stats will count this as 1 win in the tournament). Horribly buggy. Decent if the bugs are fixed.
This app would be great if it didnt crash constantly. This needs to be fixed. Badly.
Could be really great. Used to test out on a 4 team tourney works fine. Enlarged tourney to 17 teams and it crashes at round 5. Please fix and I will give 5 stars. Could be great but right now fix it or I just want a refund!! I needed this for a competition that starts tomorrow night.
I read previews and thought I had found exactly what I needed. Unfortunately it crashes in the same place every time, so it renders this app useless for my particular needs. Here is the deal: Pros: nice look and feel, good layout and multiple views, and straight forward process. Cons: in double Elimination for 16 teams, the app crashes every time I try to record a winner on the 7th heat. There is no way to manually override, so essentially you are dead in the water. I think with a few adjustments this app could be a 4 or 5 stars.
Do not buy yet until crashes are fixed. I chose DE with scores listed. 17 people. Eventually, after feeding some results, the app crashed. It was easy to get back, but it would always crash when entering results. I was able to give results of other matches but there was one match holding things up that would crash. This app is unusable for me. My iPhone has 32gb storage, latest OS, no other background processes running.
What good is a bracket app if every time you try to view the bracket it crashes........ fix it !!!!!!
