My Bracket: Tournament Maker Reviews

by Swiss Army Spoon

$4 a week? $9 a month? $40 a year? All for a stupid app that hardly works that only does something you can do on a piece of paper for free? Especially when there are other apps you can download that do this better and cost way less or are even free. Absolutely ridiculous. I downloaded MyBracket years ago for fun and never used it for 3 years, came back to it and was absolutely stunned by how much of a ripoff this has become. $4 a week could pay for an entire family or 4’a Christmas, and no that doesn’t make the $40 a year a good deal either, one of my favorite video games of all time that I’ve been playing for 3 years was only $10, not $40 every year. Complete rip-off and scam.

Every time you open MyBracket you have to sit though very long ads (compared to most apps) that you can’t skip. It’s only plus is that you can make groups then brackets in them but the size of the brackets are limited to 8 teams. The “upgrade to pro” button is taking up the bottom area at all times. It utilizes the “annoy you as much as possible” method to get you to upgrade instead up banner ads or quick ads that you can hit the “x” in a random corner that I have never minded. This is the first time I have encountered an app, with already basic functionality, that restricted the usefulness of MyBracket unless you get the pro version. I would understand this if MyBracket was used for accomplishing complex but it’s a bracket app. It how do you justify buying an app that if you really needed to, jus do on paper or track on your desktop. No official bracket would be kept on MyBracket by any organization. Ads in apps have never bothered me before MyBracket. I also never write a review so I had to be VERY annoyed by this to help you guys from going though this. Just download something else.

Downloaded MyBracket for a one time use. Every time i went to adjust the bracket I had to re-enter all of the winners,losers, and notes. Was really frustrating. And to top it off, I had to pay for the pro version, which I thought had a free trial. Canceled subscription, Now I’m out $40,for an app that I used once and will NEVER use again. Didn’t now there was a weekly trial, didn’t give me the option. I would really like a refund for this as it didn’t perform well.
REFUND PLEASE!!!!

This is a great app that work very well before the Bracket Pro. Now though, I cannot even create a bracket without paying. And when I click anything on the screen, a pop-up ad appears for me to pay full price. I found myself repurposing old brackets I created by deleting and reusing them. This is not MyBracket I wanted or anyone else wanted. If it was free to use, or even $0.99, it would be an instant 5.

MyBracket is basically useless if you don’t pay for pro, it only lets you load about 2 brackets and even then only 8 positions, until you upgrade to pro, which you may have unlimited spaces, but that means more space for lack of quality. MyBracket works but the ads and the constant nagging to get pro really down grades the whole affect along with the first round byes, which basically means the game can’t handle 2,6,10, etc, only multiples of four. The only reason MyBracket gets two stars is because One: It does make brackets and works very nice and smooth as long as you have 4/8 positions/ players. And 2) There isn’t very many good bracket apps out there, so this one is actually pretty good compared to the other ones. Thank you for your time.

by Wildcat1980

It's kinda misleading because they advertise that you can have up to 32 teams per bracket but you need to buy the pro version to put in more than 8 teams. It works fine I guess, but considering bracket creation is more than simple to do by yourself on Excel or something of the sort, you shouldn't need to pay for it.

by ViolentSneeze

This is a nicely designed app, but I’m struggling to see why I should pay $40 a year to use all the features. I could maybe see paying some money if the data synced to servers and I could pull in my friends or other players from a central database that has to be maintained, but there’s nothing like that. In fact, there’s no backup of the data whatsoever. It would also be nice if there were a way to track scores in MyBracket , but instead I have to go to another app for that, like Scoreholio.

I could’ve easily rated MyBracket a 5. But when I upgraded, my brackets were full of 1st round byes. I didn’t realize this until, I was in the middle of setting up am actual tournament. Very disappointed had to make paper brackets to get through tournament. Also when I would select anything over 18 teams, the bracket would automatically set it up for 32 team. Uuhhgg. Fix this problem and it would be a best seller in my opinion. Otherwise, junk

Every time I choose a “pro” setting I get an annoying pop up to upgrade to pro. There’s no indication as to what isn’t included in the free version, so it’s very frustrating when test driving MyBracket . Please remove the settings that will force the pop up.
Additionally, it did not persist the data when creating a bracket when I changed to a different app to get the names.

This is a great app! But for some reason, whenever I open the bracket, I will have 10/20 friends on their and the other have will have, “BYE”, instead of their name!

Another problem is that when I named my friends, the screen said that you can’t have empty brackets, but I had none...

The brackets are very easy to make and would be even easier if these few bugs could be fixed.

by Hickio1979

Bracket works well, except app does not save bracket updates. I setup and run bracket, I enter first round winners when phone sleeps and turn phone back on progression of tournaments is whipped out. I need to re-enter all winners.

by The Push BK

This could be a great app. But it needs more functionality. Why not be able to generate different types of tournaments, ex: having a round robin option.

The second, most annoying bug that needs to be fixed is this: whenever you "save" a change made during the tournament, meaning marking who won or lost, you are pulled out of the bracket screen and sent back to the list.

Again, every time you hit the check box to save the match updates you are pulled away from the bracket screen and need to open it again.

Super annoying when trying to manage a tournament.

I had MyBracket for a few month and had paid for pro and now I have to pay again to get it back and this time it’s on a weekly basis? Are you for real ?? now your telling me I have to buy it again every week to add my one bracket a week to my one group I have in the whole app?? And I know it says press restore purchase if you had previously bought the pro and I have several times and it does nothing ? Shows a loading symbol and then just goes away nothing changes ?? Sorry but not worth a weekly subscription I think I’ll just write my brackets on paper?!

Update: restore purchases finally went through let’s just hope it stays for good now I won’t pay a subscription and I truly do think this was a bad move from developers! Should be changed back ! New look is nice and if MyBracket was a pay one time for pro app it would honestly worth it! Great bracket app!

I end up find a different app that was free but this is way less time consuming then the other one just wish it didn’t cost anything and it would be five stars.

by Tyler.1.d

I got the pro version for MyBracket and I can’t restore the purchase, I’m not going to buy it again because i don’t have the money to. Developers of you could please help me out that would be great!

by Cholops

Great little app, but I set up a bracket for 6 and it kept generating 8. Basically, it seems to add BYE's up front in round 1.

Otherwise great app and very useful for my cornhole tournaments

UPDATE: Automatic BYE management is what is confusing me here. Particularly how it forces the BYE's in round 1. If that could be flexible so that BYE's don't happen until round 2 or 3 that would be great. A multi-select button for that would be great (1, 2, 3). 6 players may want to play each other immediately, then have the BYE round where 2 play and the 3rd waits.

I love MyBracket alot. I use it for nba and stuff. But can you add a option where you can turn seeds off and make the matchups on your own? Because i want to use it properly for madden.

by Twitch_UMadBoi

Yes you have to watch videos but if you want to have 32 teams instead of 8-10 teams you have to pay one time that’s what I did and it’s really good no 30 second long ads and you can have great amount of teams and their double and single elimination. And you can name the bracket whatever and name the rounds like round 1 round 3 etc. In my opinion just buy the version so you don’t need to watch ads

by Cianevnger

I love MyBracket I use it all the time I'm not annoyed by how it adds bye passes when there can't be someone because that's how tournaments work I completely recommend this to anyone who wants to make a tournament

by MindTrapMan

I've had MyBracket for quite a while and it's fairly simple. Organization is easy, listing teams and seeding them is automatic, having the option of including a loser bracket is awesome, including information from each matchup such as scores is great, and sharing them is simple. You can't get any better of a customizing bracket app than this!

by ClassickIzDaName

Needs the ability to delete a winner if tapped by accident. Only option is to change the winner... but not to delete one all together. Also would like the ability to have a conference on each side when doing 16 teams (like how the NBA is setup). I don’t even know why I paid the $1.99. I gained no functionality.

by Wayne O 4342

App was the best available for home tournaments but using it is a little clunky and the ads are annoying.

by Dude-bro-man

I use MyBracket all the time to do online tournaments with my friends and works great. You can easily share the brackets to.

by Bracketlover123

Don’t listen to the people who said MyBracket is bad because it is not. This is something I’m looking for in brackets!! RESPECT

by Misdionblue27

Just a bracket maker! You can pay to have the ads removed and you can also add up to 32 teams instead of 8 if you pay.

This is an amazing app and helps me so much with my brackets but it would be nice if we didn’t need to pay to do 9 teams.
