4/5Love This APP!
I’ve been using this app for about 8 months now with several different groups. It definitely solves a few problems that often occur when playing in a group. Such as two strong players wanting to play together all of the time, no one wanting to partner with a weaker player (leading to hurt feelings). It’s also a time saver - less chat about who’s playing with who, means more play time - yay! I have one question/ request… Is there a way to delete names from a given group’s roster? If not, would you consider adding that functionality? With so many drop-ins, my lists have gotten unnecessarily long, and deleting folks who came once or twice would be awesome!!

5/5Review of PB Play
I've never written a review of an app before, but PB Play is so handy I thought I'd break with tradition. We have a group of about 25 players who have a 2 hour, standing reservation at our Sports Center for two courts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. We never know either who is going to show up and/or for how long. It is quite usual for people to show up and/or leave at any time during the two hours. Frequently, more than 8 players show up, so it is necessary for some of us to sit out. This app does a great job of adjusting on the fly to arriving and departing players, figuring out who should be playing and who should be sitting out a round. We no longer have to shuffle between sheets of paper trying to figure out pairings and spares. Great App! Definitely has helped us organize and better manage our court time. A number of our group's membes have now dowloaded the app, and I am sure a few more will as well.

5/5This app is wonderful, is more coming?!
Hello, Just wanted to say this app has made our Monday night round robin so much easier. I initially tried a google search for a round robin layout. Some results were ok but if I generated it again for next week it was the same round robin. This app is great at mixing up the order in which you play with an against people week in and week out! It’s 5 stars just for that, I’m wondering though, if more features can be added? I’d love for the app to track our game results and then track them throughout the year. Currently we have 8 players, 7 round robin games and then all players are seeded 1-8. The eighth game is then a medal game with 1/2 playing 3/4 for gold and 5/6 playing 7/8 for bronze. So we have a weekly winner but we also track stats for the season round robin, W/L, Win %, points, points per game, medals won. If this app could expand to do that on the fly it could make for some really fun league nights and season long improvements as players try to climb the ladder! Thx for the app, really enjoying it!

4/5Very Helpful App
I have been using this app for a year now. It works fairly well, a few improvements would help. Sometimes, when removing people who leave early, the app spins and never resets. It would help to be able to copy a group and add them as a different group name. This would help as a baseline for groups that are relatively repetitive and it would help as a backup copy if a modification causes the present app to spin and crash.

5/5Great App
I play PB with a group of players which may change daily. We used to assign numbers and use a print out in order to execute a round robin of players. Believe me when I say, no one could remember their number! This makes round robin play so much easier. You can add or delete players as needed. You cannot add to the court number without starting over so I always leave it higher than we need in case another court is needed later. Well worth its low price.
