Overall a decent simple app, and developer has repeatedly responded quickly. Makes it easy to track both game scores and bracket standings within my family's pool. Still missing a few small optional settings... For example would be nice to be able to add in the rat tail predictions, even if I'm not included in the global standings.

Thanks! I have been considering how the first four could be included but worry it would get confusing. Conveying why some brackets lock before others, pulling both types of bracket into something like the global standings, those sort of things would likely lead to some non-obvious behaviors.

I've used this bracket tracker for years, and I think it's just the right amount of complexity to be a useful tracker, and the right amount of simplicity to get even the most ardent Luddite using an app. I would like to suggest the following features: (1) Allow brackets to be renamed. (2) Allow pools created before the first tip-off to accept brackets created after tip-off. In our pool, we use paper brackets for the "master copy" since not everyone has smart phones, and it's a minor annoyance to have to wait until the first tipoff to create the pool (since we manually put in the brackets for those people who turn them in by hand). (3) From the bracket view, show the scores for games (basically the results bracket along side the picks). (4) A refresh function from the pool view. Sometimes, I can't seem to get the brackets to refresh without closing the entire app and re-opening it. (5) I'm not sure this is possible, but an "import feature" from the ESPN bracket app (some people are more comfortable with the ESPN app, and this would make it easier for them to quickly join our pool in this app). Thank you so much for all your work on this app!

Thanks for the feedback. It's what makes the app worth doing. 2, 3 and 4 are pretty high on my to do list so they should definitely be in next year. I'll add 1 to my list. 5 would definitely have some challenges.

We use this for years, and it works perfectly. I do wish there was a field for user name that could be seen along with the bracket name. Everyone gets creative with their bracket name and then it's hard to tell which one belongs to who. Renaming the bracket would be a great feature as well. At least for the pool creator so I can add names to the brackets that we aren't sure who they belong to
