monetization

Users overwhelmingly criticize the app's monetization for its excessive, intrusive ads that persist even after paying a relatively high subscription fee, which many feel should eliminate advertising entirely. The shift to heavy paywalls combined with constant pop-up and video ads has made the app frustrating, with complaints about ads blocking content and degrading usability. Overall, users describe the monetization approach as aggressive, confusing, and diminishing the app's previously positive experience.
- “Would be a great app except even having paid for premium it is still smothered in advertising which obliterates the text and can't be removed. Ads just getting worse; my subscription is still valid even though uninstalled. When reinstalled, still asks for free trial and then new subscription. I think this is unethical.”
- “I paid for the premium service and still have to put up with the auto-play video ads on every game home tab.”
- “Now the ads and subscription requirements are so intrusive it's annoying to use.”

The app is widely criticized for being highly unstable, with frequent bugs, crashes, freezes, and visual glitches severely impacting usability. Despite subscription fees, users report slow performance, loss of key features, and persistent technical issues that degrade the overall experience. Stability problems are so prevalent that many feel the app does not justify its cost and recommend avoiding it.
- “The fixtures/results page has been very buggy for weeks now.”
- “But lately it has done nothing but crash nearly immediately after opening, along with tons of visual glitches.”
- “The app also freezes on a regular basis, and its performance hasn't improved since it was a fully free app.”

Users find the app's startup music intrusive and disruptive, especially when opening the app at night or while listening to their own music, as it automatically stops or interferes with other audio. Many suggest removing or allowing the option to disable the loud, epic music that plays on launch.
- “Please remove the music that plays when the app loads.”
- “The music on app start up is so frustrating as well.”
- “Startup music is a nightmare - why add that?”

Users report that the app suffers from frequent freezing and slow performance, with no improvement over time despite transitioning from a free to a paid model. Additionally, concerns about the high subscription cost are noted in relation to its optimization issues.
- “The app also freezes on a regular basis, and its performance hasn't improved since it was a fully free app.”
- “This is a great feature set but the app runs slowly and £10/year is more than an order of magnitude too much.”
story

The story aspect is criticized for being unclear and problematic, especially after a recent update that caused data loss, duplicates, and incorrect information. Users find it difficult to locate the intended story content, leading to a confusing experience.
- “It seems to be impossible to find the actual story referred to in the notification.”
- “But after the latest update installed, it's useless - favourites wiped, teams & leagues blank, no data coming up on upcoming games, every story duplicated, etc. Tonight's NZ vs Namibia is apparently taking place on 1 Jan 1970!”
