App Profile: The FA Player

As a football fan in America it’s been nearly impossible to keep up with the English Women so, I’m grateful that this app exist. The match schedule and KO alerts are nice. There’s tons of content and it’s great that there is Live Content, too. However, the Live Video has been glitchy and it gets even worse when casting to Chromecast. A feature I love but, the last match was almost unwatchable with so much skipping in the video. There’s tons of potential and many other football programs can learn a thing or two from this app. There are some distinct flaws in the video technology department but otherwise, I’m happy to have it. Also, a feature to select a favorite team and get an alert for all matches would be nice. I’d also like to be able to share content from the app to social media. Cheers!

The first couple of weeks of the Super League season, this app was great. Any video (including LIVE matches) were at our fingertips. I’m glad to see that in a short period, the League has got the attention of world wide broadcasters; however the way it has been handled by the app and its companion website has been less than desirable, disappointing even. It took me 20 minutes into the match I was interested in watching to finally figure out who was broadcasting the fixture in my country. An obscure comment in FB by a great fan who alerted us to that fact. When I used the website page that would show the live fixture, all I got was an unfriendly message “We’re sorry, this content is only available in certain countries”. If your system could detect that my browser was not co I got from the elite countries where the broadcast was available, it could have at least provided a link to a page with current information as to how to watch the game for the countries that you had signed up a contract for the content. When this is addressed, I’ll update this review. On a positive note, glad the League is doing well!

2nd review. Dec, 2020 Picture in Picture glitchy. I’ve to get in out of the app frequently for live matches. The app has gotten better with each update. Just needs to include live score update on “score” page.
