GamePool-Football Pool & Party for Android

Glorious superbowl squares version in an app. Works fine.

This is an amazing, homegrown app and I really can’t say enough nice things about it. It is not slick at all but the score announcements and the layout are insanely unique and Web 0.5. One issue: I couldn’t email any of my participants (it always crashed) so I relied on screenshots to share results. I do have the paid version. Don’t download this looking for a multimillion developed app. Instead, enjoy a rare gem.

First some nitpicking. The interface is a bit clunky but you get used to it. Chiefs is spelled wrong, it is shown as “Chiefs” in list. You need to ask for confirmation when deleting a user, any good interface does that. the layout here is so tight it’s too easy to select the wrong user and then poof it’s gone, no warning. It would be nice to have alternate data import methods too. Now for the major items. No ability to select squares. Even THIS could be overlooked if the numbers were not sequential and selected until after all users were entered. But with no ability to pick squares AND no way to pick the numbers after all the boxes have been sold, it is unusable for any serious pool.

However, the app keeps crashing during the vocal announcements.

Too hard to use. Difficult to choose squares for players. I was trying to transfer a created grid squares and I could figure out how to get out random.
