ESPN Tournament Challenge App Reviews

What happen to bracket cast **update**. The bracket cast feature use to be amazing. It would show live scores, the teams you picked, and the effect of the outcome on your point total based on the current game leader. It was an all in one station to see multiple games at once. Now it’s barely better than just looking at a paper bracket. **update** they she the scores live now which is a great improvement.

Not a very good app. Navigation is awkward. Doesn't give very basic info about your pools like what your rank is (i.e. 4/55). Doesn't show you how many picks you gotten correct/incorrect (just points). I haven't found a way to view the full bracket of the other people in my group. When looking at upcoming rounds in your bracket it's not very obvious which picks have already been eliminated. If I were developing this app I would just go look at the design of almost and every other bracket site or app and do what they did because this is the worst I've seen.

They completely got rid of the best bracket cast function. No more seeing how far everyone picked each team to go. No more seeing how many points everyone in your group has to lose or gain, no more showing if you’ve lost or won on previous games. How are we supposed to have every persons brackets memorized? The most fun part of the app was comparing how you were doing with the rest of your group in real time. Why would you ever get rid of this feature?? This app is now essentially a glorified paper bracket. I can check scores on other apps so why get rid of the one feature that made you unique?

Love this app. I find this app easy to use, easy to navigate. Brackets were easy to complete. Now I'm wondering if I'm using it right. Save button would be helpful. If I could rename the bracket before I filled it out, I didn't figure it out. We used this app to track different groups, plus we put the entire family on one account for easy tracking and trash talking.

Skips to end every time. Loved this app in the past- this year super frustrating. I like doing an autofill option then going back and changing some of the autofills to my own picks. This year, if you make a change, it skips all the way to championship game then you have to scroll all the way back and figure out where you left off. Every time you make a switch it jumps to the championship game….. so frustrating

Awful for multiple groups. Trying to run multiple groups is awful in this app. It copies someone’s first bracket into subsequently created groups (why copy the bracket AT ALL) so you are forced to allow multiple entries in groups just to let people create other bracket for separate groups. Then they can add those other brackets to the other groups and then you can remove the original bracket from groups it’s not wanted in. Developed by people who have never used an app before. Switching to CBS app.

Busted. I want to preface this review with a statement about gambling. Don’t do it! I wasn’t 45 minutes into the madness when my bracket busted. And then I realized that gambling my life savings on winning a college tournament challenge might not have been the smartest move this weekend. After the men who collect debts for the gamblers association stopped by and picked up my furniture and a couple of pints of blood, I visited St. Mary’s. Not the college i bet it all on, but the hospital. They stitched me up and I was able to see out of my one remaining good eye - thank goodness. It took another 45 minutes to remove the remnants of my phone from my neighbors dog. Who knew that dog would actually try and protect those debt collectors from my flailing and drunken “air punches”. Word to the wise, people... when they say you have to settle debts immediately, they are serious. My app is busted. My brackets busted. My uncle is busted and headed to jail now... who knew it was a crime to try and protect your sole nephew with that rocket launcher you brought back from the Iraq war... Busted. This app is busted!

Update is not helpful for less updated phones. This app totally worked for me last year, but this year the update won’t allow me to do anything in the app without 16.0. It allowed me to download it, but the recommendation to update it keeps popping up and doesn’t allow me to do anything on it. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Not so easy. I was excited for the tournament looking forward to filling out my bracket, but as I got going it became quite obvious that it will require more work and maneuvering around the app than it really should. Inviting friends and family to play along and join our private group was painful and way more complicated than expected. My hope that next year ESPN puts in a little bit more work on developing more user friendly features within the signing up process...go Zags!

Awesome App!. This app is great! I enjoy working on the bracket. It’s a lot of fun. I enjoy talking to my friends and comparing perspectives of each game and watching our points go up and down depending on who wins or loses. I also like that I see when each game is and what channel the games are on. This season’s March Madness has been a crazy mad house. Love it!

Doesn’t even work on my device. Admittedly, I only have an iPhone 7, which is pretty ancient in this day and age. But when I tried to download this year, it told me that my version of iOS didn’t support the latest version of the app, but I could still download the latest available version to me. I figured this wasn’t too big of a deal, but whenever I open the app, a text box immediately pops up telling me that I need to download the latest version of the app, and it takes me to the App Store. I’m unable to do anything in the app.

Worse UI than last year. More difficult on the eyes to track scores and results. With bracketcast, it should also tell you how far you have each team going. When looking at the bracket to see future rounds, they have the team you have losing in such small font and so much wasted space on the screen. Still would rather do ESPN tc over any other brackets

BracketCast. What was the idea behind remodeling the bracketcast?? This app was great because you could track easily the implications for each game for all the members in my group. The potential points lost was an incredible feature and so was the ability to view others and your brackets easily. ESPN gave up a functional app for a more “sleek” design and it’s incredibly disappointing.

UX is worse now. The user experience for being able to view information about the group bracket is not sufficient. There is no way to adequately compare between different brackets in a group. There used to be ways to see information such as how a loss would impact the total potential score. Instead there are many screens that don’t matter, like “Celebrity” brackets and a “Forecast” screen that doesn’t even show anything until sweet 16. There are some obvious ways to improve UX that are missing. For example in the Bracketcast page, If I click on my bracket, there is no way to directly go to see the full bracket. That seems obvious. There are no ways to compare between different people on how that loss will impact their bracket. That would be an easy addition to the UI. There is no way to see who each person picked for a specific game outside of the current round games shown in Bracketcast.

New User Interface Is Aweful. The new UI took all the fun out of the bracket. Every change is negative. I can’t see more than 2 live games at once, I can’t see the potential points each group member will win / lose. I can’t see everyone in the group ranked in a list by points. I can’t see potential points remaining. I can only see 2 group members at a time. I have the women’s bracket in my face all the time when I want to turn it off for more space. I wish they still had the old, pre-Disney app where everything was intuitive and enjoyable. I don’t think Disney cares about Sports. I have no idea how to track the tournament now that they decided to replace the bracket cast with such a poor redesign. I think they had someone design it that doesn’t understand or use it, and they should revert back to the old design quickly.

What to add to the app. We love the app and me and my family do a bracket tournament against each other, but we wish there was a way to send a text or a message some how, maybe have a point system that each round it goes up, so it gives the guy at the bottom a chance to come back, thanks

Used to be a game changer. Honestly, this is one of the worst updates I’ve ever seen. The more I use it, the more frustrated I become. Why would you take out essential functionality and make things more difficult for the user? When I am in bracket cast and I see the another bracket has picked the game differently than me, why (WHY?) do I have to leave bracket cast, go back into my group, find their bracket, and select it. Why in god’s name can I not just select their bracket from bracket cast? And why can’t I zoom out on their bracket? In mine, I can zoom out to see the all of my selections. I have to scroll through their selections, round by round, to see their picks. Why can’t I have the zoomed out view on theirs? Plus, submitting a bracket in a group is busted. All of my groups defaulted to the same bracket. Why would you have the player create a bracket outside of the group and then choose to import? Just let me create the bracket within the group. I don’t need to see how I compare to President Biden or Stephen A Smith. I don’t care. This use to be the best way to track/watch March Madness and it’s almost unusable after this update.

Unable to sort by possible points left. This app is far inferior in comparison to the CBS Sports app. The reason is you can't look at the bracket as a whole you can only look at it on the left-hand side which makes it difficult to oversee the whole bracket. Also it is hard to really determine who is going to win a private pool because there's no ability to sort by the available points that you can still get which is very very frustrating. I wish this app and ESPN would really get it together because they are clearly the leaders and sports yet they don't put any effort toward something like this which is one of the most popular things in the nation

Disappointing update. This used to be a great app, but the developers seemed to have gotten rid of some very helpful features. For instance, previously in the bracketcast tab, all at once you could see who you had picked for the game, how far you had them going, and how the result affected your point total. Now all it shows you is who you have winning. You have to scroll and swipe through each bracket to see how far that team is going, and no data is available for point effects. Also, they used to cross out the team in your bracket if they lost like in a paper bracket, but now they have some tiny writing that says what you picked, and then a big logo with the result. Really confusing. I used to check the app constantly during March madness, but now I find myself doing this far, far less because it’s so much more difficult to find the info i’m looking for. Really hope this app will reconsider going back to these functions.

Internet!. I love this app but in the past week, whenever I try to open it and look at my groups or whatever, it always says “you do not appear to be connected to the internet” when I am connected and literally every other app that requires Wi-Fi, is working like normal. Idk if this is a bug or whatever but please try to fix it. Or I won’t be able to fill out brackets for march madness which I do every year for fun. Everything besides that about this app is amazing. I just can’t get in the app with it telling me that I’m not connected.

Terrible. Destroying the traditional four quadrant view of the tournament bracket makes it hard to see how the games come together. There are frequent issues with the real-time coding of winners & losers - the team names are right, but sometimes your eliminated picks show in crossed-out red type and sometimes just in crossed-out grey type. BEWARE: Your “correct” picks are only shown in green in the first round, so just when you get used to reading the bracket layout it changes. Why don’t your advancing teams keep displaying in green? 🤷‍♀️ Hey Disney - Hire some graphic/UI designers (maybe not just sports enthusiasts) and better coding QA personnel! I have followed the tournament for 35 years, and have filled out many amateur “just for fun” brackets. This app is not intuitive, and the amount of study you have to undertake to understand what your own bracket is telling you is not worth it. Not to mention how the poor design makes it impossible to include more casual tournament fans… 🤦‍♀️

iOS 15.7.8 canNOT run app. This app will not run with my current iOS version, 15.7.8. Is there any sane reason why this app is not backwards compatible? If I upgrade to iOS 15.8.2 will I be able to use your app? When I try to run the app I get caught in a loop asking to install a new version of the app, which I can’t. I have an old iPhone, so I cannot get a much newer OS. The way I see, if Google Maps, US Bank, NPR, and Venmo can work on my phone, your should not have an issue . The app works beautifully last year. I’m just trying to get the older version working.

Updates are awful. it’s a good app, but the new updates are terrible. much more difficult this year to see which picks were correct and incorrect. it was so much better when incorrect picks were just crossed out throughout the bracket instead of the “my pick” tab on each game. in general it’s much busier visually which is unnecessary for what used to be an essentially perfect app. it seems everyone involved just wanted to push through some project for their resume/portfolio. trying to fix what wasn’t broken, and just making it worse in the process.

Overall good but some changes would be great. This app is good overall but it could use some work. I don’t know what changes happened, but now every time you create a bracket and try to join a group it automatically adds the bracket you made into the group you’re trying to join. I don’t like that because then you can’t fix it. It also doesn’t save the name changes for your brackets like ever.

Thank you. For years, I dreaded the filling out of paper brackets...not quite understanding the scoring involved as I picked teams based on favorite colors and underdogs (whether I’d heard of them or not). No judging...I’ve come a far way from there although I think I was somehow more successful back then in my clueless years. Anyways, thanks for creating an app that makes it easy to fill out and calculates my points so I can easily rub my predictions (that are still horridly off) in my friends faces. It has made March Madness fun instead of a yearly dread of watching friends lose their minds...now I can join the madness too. :)

Always an issue. Created a private group and we can’t see each other at all in the group. Thought it was because the APP went down like it always does before the first game but we are not hours later and it still is not working. When you guys fix the issues.... or will it be never? Only one person in our group can see everyone. Super annoying

Could be easier to use. Not great, but it is fine. The viewer is rough, your different brackets are hard to get to, and it doesn’t reload very well. You would think that you could make all the brackets you’re in as a favorite or a quick click, and some kind of customize bar, but no. I have to shut the app down and restart it for it to reload properly. You would think it would be easier to read the brackets. It’s not a good app.

Great app, But.... I have had a good experience with this app but some of my friends that are in the same pool as me have had trouble, some of them had a bracket filled out and when the tourney started theirs didn't show up and they didn't have a bracket in the pool, and their should be a "save and finish later" button so If I have some thing else to do on my phone or I'm not ready to pick some I can look at some things and come back and finish it

Suggested Improvements. 1) If you didn’t pick the two teams correctly to be in the game, it doesn’t display the date and time of the game. No reason it shouldn’t still show you when the game is! 2) You should create a quick-view where you can select a game, and see who every player in your pool picked to win it. 3) You should also create quick-view where you can select a team, and see how far each player in your pool has them going in the tourney

Unusably slow and laggy. The amount of lag in the app is unreal. I tried to log in and when I typed my email, the characters didn’t show up on screen until several seconds after I hit the buttons on the keyboard. Given that the login screen was already so bad, I gave up trying to use the app because I can’t imagine the rest of it is much better, and frankly I didn’t have the patience to try and find out. It’s unfortunate because I was pretty excited to fill out a bracket this year, but trying to use the app just destroyed that excitement

Improvements. On a scale of 1-10, this would get a 5 at best. Very easy to fill out brackets but I lost mine twice before I was done- UGH! My women's bracket completely disappeared and I didn't know until it was too late. As everyone has said- SAVE button please! I find it very hard to see who I picked relative to who is playing. Hard to move bracket forward and backward to see who might match in the future and who won or loss if I miss a game. I have no idea how many I have right/wrong and I don't understand how percents are calculated or what the prp means. Overall, it works but could be better.

messaging so we can talk smack ☺️. For real! Need to open chats up on here! What’s the point of making a group if we can’t talk smack or arrange a place to meet. The whole not being able to view a whole bracket thing stinks too, would like to toggle between people to see theirs as well. Viewing in vertical columns isn’t ideal. Other than that, love it! Oh would be neat if you could see which of your contacts also have the app then you could join more groups or make yours larger!

good but could be better. i agree with Lisa from Dayton regarding the app and the women's brackets - while the mens regular and second chance brackets were easy to maneuver to and manage it was difficult to get to to the women's bracket and never found the second chance bracket. if you make it as easy as the mens bracket to use, more players would take the time to play, as there are a lot of fantasy sports players around the world

Why was the app changed. Used this app many years and really dislike it this year, first off it constantly logs me out like there is sensitive info in this app…it’s a Bracket app not a medical app. Also it seemed a lot of people had issues joining groups correctly so would have to resend links. Lastly I hate the bracket cast or whatever bc first off every time I have to re-sign in and go to that part it gives me a walk through which I don’t need, but also I liked in past seasons it would tell you how far people had certain teams going in the tourney and how many possible points they would be down if their picked team lost. Now it’s like a mystery until the game is completed which is annoying and makes it more difficult to know if I can really trash talk a friend for putting a team on the brink of losing all the way to the final four.

Incomplete. The app is excellent for creating brackets. No doubt. EYE had no problem with that. It was difficult to figure out how to see channel listings for games. But they are listed. one can not really see the next round of the tournament. It’s all subdued text. Very hard to see for seeing impaire. Please consider addressing these issues next time around.

The Bracketcast update has made it practically unusable. The bracketcast on previous versions of the app would show how far each person in a group had the winning team from each game going. So if one team lost you could tell which people in your group had them going the farthest and how many points that lost cost them towards there potential total. The current version only tells you if the person had them winning or losing. No impact of the loss whatsoever. So if you wanted that info you’d have to go into everyone’s bracket and manually see how far they had them. On top of that, they increased the size of the text/widget for each person in your group and you can only see 3 to 4 teams at once. The previous versions you could see 10ish teams at once. I haven’t found any updates that actually improve the app at all. In fact the only updates with new functionality are ice cube and fire emojis to tell you if a team hasn’t gotten a lot of picks right or if they have. It’s a head scratcher for why they chose this direction.

App has seriously taken a turn for the worst. This app used to be a 5 star, best out of the tournament pick apps. It was the cleanest and most efficient way to preview the matchups, see the actual results vs your picks, and join and manage your groups. All of these things are now significantly more difficult/less usable. The matchups used to display both teams at once, now you have to click between them to read the info. It’s now next to impossible to view your picks and your progression of teams through the tournament on the mobile app than it was last year. It’s also much more difficult to manage your brackets and what you’re joining groups with. Additionally, the “how far did other people have this team in the group” option wasn’t even ready until the second weekend. A really disappointing iteration of the app that I hope they improve upon next year.

Devs/Product Don’t Use the App. Recent changes have worsened the experience - both in app and in a browser, everything is worse, less user-friendly behavior. Why do I have to login every time I pull up the app on my phone? Brackets used to update quickly and now take ages. Creating new brackets from existing brackets is an exercise in frustration since the app automatically jumps to the end after each pick once all picks are entered - which they are when you’re using a previously filled bracket. Clearly no one working on this actually uses it. While the app is a better experience than the website, because the website is outright broken and scroll-heavy, you shouldn’t be competing against yourself. What a terrible time to unveil poorly planned workflows because I have time to look at the other options.m and forget this one.

Come during March, stay for the madness. Very stiff bracket movement. I want to view my bracket and other brackets easily, swiping and scrolling and sliding seamlessly. Yet we are stuck choosing between rounds. And when you do skip between rounds, you vertically lose your position. Obviously hasn’t been tested thoroughly and they needed to push this out sooner than they wanted to make the March deadline. Also, wish it was more visible what I, and others, chose for later rounds. Very subdued grey text, and strike-out if they were knocked out. Visually and functionally, very frustrating app.

Can we pick for the First Four in future?. I have loved this app for the past few years. The brackets are simple, easy to fill out, and fun (especially in groups/with friends). I have noticed one thing this year and that is that we can’t pick for the first four. I know the official March Madness app has that feature and I wish that could be carried over here.

2024 update is horrible. What was the thought process behind all these changes? The app looks worse, works worse, is more confusing, and provides less information than in years past. The new bracketcast makes it impossible to see what the effect of games has on your (or other people in your groups) brackets and half the screen is basically useless massive boxes. Everything across the board is the same but worse. Truly an incredible feat to have an update have zero redeeming qualities. I tip my cap, ESPN, you’ve made your product worse yet again!

Great app if you’re sighted. Extremely inaccessible.. I’m a sighted person and use this app every year for March madness. I didn’t realize how inaccessible the app is until I organized a league for my coworkers this year. We have 4 or 5 blind coworkers participating and all of them needed some level of assistance filling out their brackets, which is a shame because the app should really be compatible with Voice Over. Most of the buttons don’t have labels, and the elements aren’t being selected as a group when picking a team, so you can’t even tell which team you’re selecting. I design our accessible mobile app for our company and baking in accessibility really isn’t that hard. Disappointed in ESPN and hope you make changes for next year, even if it’s using a promotion with Aira to provide on demand assistance for the BLV community.

NCAA tournament bracket on ESPN. Was a lot of fun , it should have a award for players that fill out only one bracket. Picking 25 brackets takes the skill and some fun out of it. I'm sure others would agree. Thanks for the chance and I'll only be doing one pick again next year. Anyone can get lucky with 25 picks it takes skill to make a good run with one bracket.

Miss seeing how far people had teams going from the bracket cast view. Props to ESPN for correcting the complaint I had. They added into bracket cast how far a team is going in your bracket when you click on a game. Life saver!! Previous feedback: In the old app layout, you could click on a game and see what you or a member of your group picked AND it would show how far a given bracket had that team going. Is a game outcome going to affect my sweet 16? my final 4? only the round of 32? Now, I have to individually go into every single bracket — my own brackets or my competitors within my group — to answer those questions. That is a waste of time. You’re telling my the “what”, but what about the “so what”? Impacts, people! We care about impacts! I have money and a reputation on the line! Otherwise, app is great. Thank you for your time.

Love it!. Fantastic app! So easy to choose your picks & so fun to be part of a team challenge bracket! I check it constantly and it's always right up to date! So easy I was able to talk on the phone & walk my 87 year old mother into creating an account & making a bracket so she could be part of the fun!

I love the bracketcast feature. in bracket cast u can see what other people in your groups picked and see whose in the lead and see who has the best potential. u can even click on a certain game and see what everyone picked to win that and how far they have that team going. its the best place to make a bracket and i hav experience so i highly recommended. also u can read abt tournament news in the app! GREAT tournament app.

A fun APP!. I fill out a bracket every year from the paper & by the time it gets to the Final Four, it looks like a book report graded by a strict teacher with red circles & corrections all over it. This was easy & I did multiple brackets. I can see my ranking compared to everyone else. I won't win any prizes; but, it is a fun activity. I enjoy checking out the Celebrity picks as I am hanging in there with them as far as points earned. (In some brackets)

Don’t bury the women’s tournament. The app is a lot of fun. I appreciate the opportunity to fill out lots of brackets (one in which my fave teams win, one in which I predict lots of upsets, etc.). I like the auto fill options as well. But I care as much about the women’s tournament as the men’s, and I’m surprised that the women’s tournament is still an afterthought. It is a hassle to have to dig for it (and dig even deeper to get the game times). What’s worse, after I dig down to game level within my bracket, there is no way to go back one screen to the bracket. The only option is to hit exit, which sends you back to “Play More Games” level, where you have to select “play” the women’s tournament. Come on! Maybe you should just create a separate app for the women’s tournament. But I’ll give you credit for including the women’s tournament in the app; the NCAA’s own March Madness app doesn’t include anything about the women’s tournament! Crazy!

Groups not easy. Adding to a group is not easy. Several of us created our profiles and then the brackets became available a couple days later we attempted to build our brackets and they kept creating a new profile and then you couldn’t attach them easily into the gam adding to a group is not easy. Several of us created our profiles and then the brackets became available a couple days later we attempted to build our brackets and they kept creating a new profile and then you couldn’t attach them easily into the group. My bracket didn’t make it into the group when I thought it did.

Always a great experience. I like the app but agree with a previous poster. I like women’s college basketball as much as the men’s. Women’s basketball is to far down the menu and when you do get to it, it looks like building the interface was an afterthought. NCAA women’s basketball should be right under (or above) men’s basketball in the menu and should be formatted exactly like the men’s. Women’s basketball is equally as important as men’s and should be reflected in this fun app. Looking forward to an updated, five-star app next year!

Crap. Did my bracket a few days prior. But because there are so many sign in screens, it didn't save. Sweet. No madness this year

App. Very simple to use and easy to read excellent app for the tourney

Bracketcast. Does anybody know how to access Bracketcast on the IPad? I can easily access it on my IPhone and it is the best feature but I can not find it anywhere on my iPad. I love this app

Okay. Why do i need a different app for scores?

You had one job. Downloaded this app to fill out my bracket easier. Halfway through filling it out, it crashes and doesn't save any of my picks.

Awesome!. So good👍

Perfect. Easy and quick

Why did you change it?!. New updates for 2024 are TERRIBLE! Lost so many of the BracketCast features (points won/lost, how far the team was chosen to go) that were actually good. The whole My Bracket interface is SO much worse than last year. You took what was good and ruined it.

teeurup. The Bracket makes following that much more interesting. My team is out but the bracket keeps my interest up.

No view. I was hopeful to watch March Madness as per Apple TV and ESPN’s hype but ended up being all hype. There’s no apparent option for Canadians to stream NCAA’s major event of the year that unless you have a cable subscription in the US. Or can someone a challenge that “accurate” info?

What more to like?. This is a great app to keep you in touch with your bracket.

Espn. Awesome,a great way to participate in the bracket.

Great. Perfect way to fill out brackets, makes it so easy to make a pool for people.

Good app. Good app

Tournament challenge. I love this challenge. Excitement everyday. Easy to follow your personal result with millions of participants.

Great app. Can make multiple brackets and create your own groups

Exceeds Expectation ⚡️💡💣. Outstanding! Really enjoy the stats!

GREAT!. Great way to keep updated on your bracket!

Simply to use; easy to follow results. I don't have much to compare it to, but it was easy to enter my bracket picks and the reporting as the tournaments progress is easy to follow.

No bracketcast. Bracketcast is a great feature that's oddly absent. Also, no what if scenarios

Terrible update. 2024 has the worst update they’ve ever done. Very difficult to compare to other people in your group.

GodBless. Does not get more convenient than this, awesome job

Good app. Keeps scores up to date quickly

Previous Years Was Better. Bring back bracket cast where you can see how each outcome of the current scores affects each person in the groups total score. Ie if the team they chose to win 3 games is losing it would show -70.

great app. awesome

What's up with this. Not sure why but the app will not work for me on my IPhone 😣

Great. Fun, simple way to fill out brackets.

Great app. Great quality, lots of detail and offers you help from experts on ESPN on who they think you should choose

Doesn't update. It's a POS

Love this app. I look forward to the Tourney, just so I can start using this app. Has everything you need. This new version seems to update the scores of other participants in your pool a little slower than the old version, but the app is still the best out there.

Needs improvement. App is great for making and reviewing your own brackets but when looking at your league none of your fellow competitors scores are updated. Once an update for this is released, the app will be better. Also, it is connected to the Sports Centre app in a confusing way that requires you to download the second app instead of having scores for individual games available for viewing in the app. Seems like the app would be a smoother experience if it didn't transfer you to another app. Either embed the other app with this or remove that option altogether. I an completely capable of switching apps on my own.

App. Love this app and the easy access to brackets and the updates.....

Career community. I was not able to change brackets easily. It was too complicated for me

Pretty good. Only if i could watch highlights on it though

EZ activation. Easy to set up, that's what counts. The scores weren't up to date until day 2 but otherwise so far so good. JohnnyRockafella' "90-Now Past 2-thou' make the heads in da' house out there wonder how" OGC represent Strang-Wonda'

Explain the ranking and score columns. Like to understand the rank rating and score

Great App!. Really helps with picking teams, makes enjoying March Madness very easy

Always up to date. Great app. Scores are very quickly updated!

Great!. Good app and easy to use.

Bracket. Awesome

A++++ Easy to use. Awesome app easy to use and great for making pools. Scores play by play and more.... point system is decent

Yeah!. Love the access to my brackets!

Wish it had it's own 'score' component.... After using a few other tournament apps, this one is probably the easiest to use and the most user-friendly. I only wish ESPN didn't make you install it's own 'scores' app if you want to use the navigational tab at the bottom of this app.

Easy to Use!. Easy to set up and follow from multiple devices. It doesn’t hurt that I have two picks in the Final Four and won our office pool!

Seems to be falling behind. Used to be the best app for March Madness. UI has fallen behind, made some negative changes. My friends and I have switched to another provider, I’d recommend trying others out as well, unfortunately no longer the leader.

It's Great And Very Easy To Use. I like the in bracket scores, the featured section with celebrities and VIP like Obama. Can't think of any bad things to say. Would be nice to get instant updates, but so would dating Kate Upton. Maybe don't cut off the ranking numbers and list total users like 103,453rd out of 1,446,782.

Bracket cast not working on iPad version. Newest update doesn't have working bracketcast on iPad version.

Boom. Awesome app. Keeps the tournament at my fingertips 24-7.

Change it back to last years version. It's impossible to tell which teams you got right or wrong. This grey of faded thing is awful.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

New layout. New layout is terrible. Cannot see how many points or where others in your group have teams losing when clicking on a certain game. When you few other peoples brackets you can’t see who they have vs who you have to read who they have winning the pervious round. I don’t know who made the decision to change these but it’s awful. If a upset happens you should be able to see how it effects others in your group. BRING BACK THE OLD ONE

Tournament’s Back‼️. App more difficult to get on and in a Group this year. It’s a good thing I have computer savvy grandsons. Other than that, brackets are easy to fill out and have been kept up to date. Enjoying it, but upsets are killing me, especially Big Ten!

Good for what I wanted. The app is very good for keeping track of my brackets and news on the tournament. I would like a better way to pick the winners, it feels condensed. I'd also rather have a view to see a full view of the bracket after the picks are made. Still a great app for updates on the tournament.

Great App. I love this app. All the guys I work with love it too. We do a pool at work every year on it and this is how we keep up with the games and everyone else's bracket to see who is winning. We all love it and none of us have ever been to prison either.

Almost Perfect. I would say the app is perfect but…I was planning on doing a lot of brackets this year. But once I reached 25 brackets it wouldn’t let me do anymore. We should be allowed to have more then 25 brackets! Due to the fact that it’s pretty much impossible to get a prefect bracket there seems to be no reason for us to have a limit. Other then that the app is great.

Not the best. This app could be better. It's probably too late now. I was in the middle of making a bracket when I received a text. So like a normal person, I checked it. Upon returning to the app, my entire bracket, the one I was almost 100% finished, was gone. I had to start over from scratch. Another issue... I've turned notifications off several times but for some reason they keep getting turned back on. That's annoying.

You’re guess is as good as any. All ways fun and entertaining as well as very addictive. I tend to get tied up in it and loose track of other things. Excellent way to enter act with friends who live in other cities. It is one of the most enjoyable times of the year.

Great App Overall. Overall I like the app but, I don’t like how the mobile view of each bracket doesn’t clearly show BOTH teams that you picked for that round. It just shows a big logo of the winner you picked but just very small font of the other team you chose.

Meh. I only have this app since my brackets are through ESPN. The design however is terrible...not good for looking at the overall "big picture"...instead of having to swipe your way through the rounds, the layout should at least let you look through regions, similar to how you set up your bracket. Not a big fan. It is easy to switch between brackets and groups, so there is that.

Best Brackets App in the World!. Hands down the easiest app to use for filling out your brackets and creating a group to play with your friends. We return every year for a reason. It’s almost time for March Madness!!

Great App!. This is a great app to use for March Madness! The adults in our family have a challenge bracket that we can fill-in and have so much fun with it. We each do a real bracket and then a funny one. At the end whoever is the winner gets to have everyone send $25 and it goes to a charity of the winners choice.

Old but not forgotten.. What fun to be able to fill out the brackets and actually compete with my grandchildren. Even though I bombed out after the Sweet Sixteen, we had fun cheering for our teams (GEAUX TIGERS). Can’t wait till next year when I hope to study the teams more and win it all.

Best of four bracket apps I have tried.... Far from perfect, I do like comparing my best with the "Celebrity" best bc it's good for my ego. Suggestion: not everybody can keep up with MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAAF Signing at the same time. Is there a way to "force" a reminder to get on my brackets? I started them this year with 15 minutes left b4 they closed.

Wonderful. This app is my favorite to use for March madness it is so easy to use and you can make so many brackets. The only thing that is bad you can on ho in the app when it’s in season. Overall it’s is very good easy and fun to compete with family and friends.

Add more group features. For bracket groups please allow features where the leader of a bracket group can have the option to accept or deny brackets into the group, and the feature that doesn’t show the password to anyone. Thank you! Great app otherwise

NCAA Bracketology. Found ez to use some improvements could be made but ease of use, lot of fun with friends & family. Sure they will listen to complaints & do some upgrading. Seeing complete bracket would be plus definitely.

NOT USER FRIENDLY. Terrible User Experience and Design, very hard and complex to use, my bracket group's name is Gray and smaller than everything else, how am I supposed to know to click that? Also the bracket layout is all messed up, impossible to see large bracket all at once instead of swiping through all the different rounds of blank games that haven't happened yet, very disappointed with the user experience and difficulty to use.

Stop Complaining. This app is a extremely easy to use and hold up its FREE!!!! Lol people want the world for nothing and complain if you give it to them by chance. I read the family comments and couldn’t agree more its casual good fun. If you’re a pro your not using this one anyway. Thanks guys!!!!!

Messed up this year. The updates to this app this year were awful. It has become unclear which games I have guess correctly or incorrectly, which games have happened or not happened yet. Definitely need to return to the old version.

Better than mine. It’s a little hard to navigate and sign on if you have two brackets. Need some way of confirming if you did it correctly a lot better than it is now. Once you get that all figured out it is the greatest tournament app there is.

Great App... very entertaining and organized 😃. This app really got me into the game of brackets and March madness. This is a great app that makes it easy to make a bracket and have fun in watching march madness. The unpredictable games make it very fun, and ESPN TC makes it easy to do that. I have really enjoyed this app and would recommend it to anyone that I know. FIVE STARS ✨

20 years strong!!!. We’ve been doing the tourney challenge for 20 years now!!! WOW!! Just a group of collegiate best friends that still finds time for each other every SPRING..We set up a thread and the S@$) talking begins!! Thank you for a always improving, free platform that helps this group of Humboldt STate alumni stay in touch !! GoBLUE!!

Good app. Works fine. But please make it easier to find your second chance brackets (from the sweet 16). You have to navigate around just to find them and it isn’t intuitive nor is there instruction where to find them.

APP GLITCHES CONSTANTLY. I think it is just for some users, not all, but the app glitches out constantly. Everything on the screen is flashing, all the teams in my bracket are flashing in and out of sight. The different regions flash between saying “West” and “Quad 1” and “East” and Quad 2. I’m hoping the developers see this and fix these bugs. I had the same issue last year, and I have a new phone this year but I still encounter the same problem.

Awesome!. My family & I really enjoyed it. Easy to fill out and keep up with. One improvement would be to make the next round picks a different color. The grey was hard to see when trying to look ahead to the next round before the current round was over.

Making NCAA basketball great again!. This is so fun. This really brought me back to the madness! Very easy to use and I don’t have to check off a paper bracket. Because of this app, I do 25 brackets every year. It would be Madness doing that on paper! Thank you! Thank you!

Gotta Love Fad Chasing Idiots. Ya know the ones that go Trend, Crackle, Pop....... Makes one wanna ask ----- Where's the fun in participating in something if they know nothing about how it works, even the most basic, like this APP will not be fully functional UNTIL the Tourney Draws have been made..... It's kinda hilarious.

Fun. I've thoroughly enjoyed doing an electronic bracket. I've always filled out a paper one. I had others who participated with me which made it one of the most fun brackets I've done up to this point. The app has been great too because it keeps your score and everything.

Why the changes to Bracketcast. This app was excellent last year— you could press on a game in Bracketcast and see what was at stake. For example, you have Kentucky going to the Final Four, so minus 160 points if they lose. And you could easily access this for the other brackets in your group too. I don’t understand why this feature disappeared from the app this year, but it’s definitely dulled the experience. Please fix.

Solid. I thoroughly enjoy this app. I like its features, especially the bracketcast. I think it can be better developed in the future with more features such as viewing the entire bracket in its original format instead of scrolling down thru the regions on one side. No complaints overall. Thanks for the FREE app!

Almost perfect. The app is amazing and works pretty smoothly. However, the thing that it needs desperately is for the owner of the bracket-pool to have the option to accept or decline other brackets from joining the pool. The password option is outdated and an accept or decline option would work tremendously better and would make my rating 5-stars!

Login Button Unresponsive. This is the only installed app having this issue. Reinstalling doesn’t help, and the Support website won’t load either. Anything on the app to do with logging in won’t recognize a tap and when I found a workaround to get to a sign-in it thinks I don’t have network access, even though Im currently browsing Firefox and was somehow able to submit this review.

So much harder to see how you compare to friends this year. I really don’t like the update this year. It’s so much more complicated to see where you stand within your group. Please bring back the main page where you’re automatically ordered in your group depending on who’s winning. And it was much easier to just select a game and see who everyone selected.

BracketCast Section. Please change it back to where you can see how far each team goes under the bracketcast section. Normally one could see how far a certain team went for everybody in a group with the click of a button and now you manually have to figure that out by looking at each persons bracket. This is a feature that made the app immaculate and now its subpar.

Solid app. Pretty standard bracket app. I liked the idea of notifications until I was getting notifications for the men’s and women’s brackets during work. No way to turn off women’s notifications so I just turned them off.

Best Way to do a March Madness Bracket. All of this is accurate. Everything I put in stays the same. You can do this without having to write everything down. I would really recommend this app if you are doing a March Madness Bracket.

Good, could be improved. Good overall, like the general format/user interface. But main complaint is a common one that I've seen (that is pretty important): instead of having to scroll through each round, we should be able to see larger format of the bracket (similar to the online web version).

One thing. I’d like to see more stats when viewing round matchups. I don’t follow every conference and feel like that would help. I really like being able to set up private groups but don’t like not winning them. Thanks for the great IT work. Well done!!

Notifications ruin games if you don’t watch them live. I like to record march maddness games while I’m at work and watch them when I get home. This app sends a ridiculous amount of notifications about teams winning and advancing the rounds. Totally spoils the games that you planned on watching later. Stop ruining games for people that are unable to watch them live. I don’t need live scores from a bracket app.

Updated User Experience Major Step Backward. Tracking the tournament and the winners and losers and my picks is now much harder than it was in previous releases of this app. The strike through of teams that had lost. Made it so much better than how it is now where it shows your pick in a game, even if your pick has lost. App designers need to stop messing with things that work well for no reason.

2024 bracketcast is terrible. Bracketcast feature was the reason to use this app in the past. You could select any game and easily see how far in the tournament each member of the group had those teams going. This made it easy to see how important each game was to each member of the group. Bracketcast in the update is way less useful. Can only see who each person in your group has winning that one game.

March madness 2019.. With all the crap happening in the world it’s great to be able to be a part of something so much fun and celebrated like march madness. This is the only app I use for the tournament, because I know that the information is updated quickly and very accurately ❤️ it 🏆🏀💰. Tony10xs

It fine but picks keep getting wiped. It's a great bracket app that many of my friends use. It is really irritating though when I'm making my picks and they all get wiped because I put it down and my phone goes to sleep. Even when clicking on certain matchups and watching the videos all my picks get wiped when I go back to the bracket. Extremely frustrating

Horrible Update for 2024. The app got completely redesigned this year and it is AWFUL. The readability has declined and the app navigation is terrible. The best feature used to be tapping on a game in gamecast and seeing who everyone else in your group picked and how far they had them going. The new app does not have the feature anymore. After years of using this app, I will be using a different one next year

Women’s tournament. Love this app! However!!! You need a women’s tournament challenge one. I know that it’s linked in but hard to find and hard to get to. Don’t forget about the women! Either get them their own app or make it to where that bracket shows up with the men’s bracket on the main page! Don’t leave us out!

Clears selections. Selections don’t stick. Apparently ESPN expects you to auto fill and submit your bracket without referring to information you might be looking at in another app. Trying to switch between apps results in the teams that you picked to be cleared. Hell, even going one by one for each matchup results in the picks at the top of the page getting cleared by the time you reach the bottom. What the heck?

New interface blows. Once again espn has ruined something that doesn’t need fixing. Only this time, for group messages on your group homepage, the character limit has drastically decreased and you can’t use the enter key in the field. So if you have multiple past champions you want to highlight? No can do. If you want your group payouts listed cleanly and evenly in front of your face, nope. You’re out of luck. Garbage update for no reason

Road to the final 4. This app is easy to use. My entire family uses it to create their brackets. We also do brackets for the Women's tournament. It would be better if we could use the same app to create the women's bracket. As of right now, I have not found an ESPN app that will allow women's brackets to be created.

New Update Ruined this App. Can I leave zero stars?? This new update is so bad that I’m not sure I’ll be using this app ever again. I’ll go back to paper before keeping this app. The old version was so easy, this version is not. It’s not easy to see your bracket, it’s not easy to log in, it’s not user friendly. The ESPN lay offs are becoming very clear, maybe fire the person that “updated” this app instead of on air talent. This is a garbage app now

Matchup preview stats are a hot mess. Missing info, wrong game locations in places... I even saw one team showing a 12-20 record. Almost every single vs top 25 record is showing 0-0, and there are no RPI scores. Plus the last 12 games records are completely off. For ex, FSU is 10-2, not 6-6. What a mess - clean it up!!!
