Forced sign up - no thanks
Sign up also doesn’t offer the user anything that is actually worth signing up for, personalised listings of followed teams is possible in all other apps without sign ups. There is really no incentive at all for anyone to give you their info when neither the app or website offer anything substantially better over similar apps.
As for the website, missing a lot of leagues such as second tier competitions in Europe, many very famous clubs are therefore missing and therefore unable to follow them or any of their fixtures. For a fixtures app this really is the bare minimum, if you’re only going to cover a minority then there is literally no point, again, not an issue other apps face.
Was really hopeful as other apps are full to the rafters with betting features which I’m not interested in but this app offers nothing vaguely useful in comparison except for the lack of betting, you cannot view previous fixtures or their results so if you happen to live in another time zone and use an on demand service such as with NBA and MLB, you have no point of reference for anything that is not a future fixture.
Just don’t really see what this apps purpose is? Very confused and needs significant refinement, starting with the dodgy forced sign up. You say it’s to stop bots which is total hogwash, if you present that argument to any decent developer they’ll laugh at you. There is no benefit to people botting this sort of app. Very very strange response from the devs there.
Huge shame, lots of potential but really nothing of substance here.

Hopefully we can do our best to improve so you give a try again in the future.
No idea why this requires to sign up
I have no intention of handing over my details to an unknown app developer. There’s no reason why many features of this app require a user to sign up. Perhaps some features do, but I’ll never find out because it was a barrier put up before allowing access to the app. Bye!
Response from developer
Hi there, Thanks a lot for taking time to provide us with your feedback. We understand that you might not want to provide your details, however, for our App specifically, an email verification is required to access all the features and from our perspective to stop bots. The good news is that our website - www.fixturecalendar.com - allows you to explore sporting fixtures around the world with no sign-up, and this can be done via desktop or mobile. Signing up on the App allows you to customise your account, receive personalised push notifications and get reminders for your favourite sports, teams, competitions, and more. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope you give Fixture Calendar a chance again in the future.
Pretty useless and unfriendly UI

Again, thank you for taking the time to review Fixture Calendar, any feedback we receive will help us improve our platform.
