And not just the number - some of them take three or more pokes at the delete button. If advertisers think that any of us are going to buy anything they’re peddling with this level of interference they’re badly mistaken. ### 2/5 — Always crashing *2020-01-17* I love going to one place to get my teams articles but when the app is constantly crashing & it takes me 15 mins to read one article it’s pretty disappointing. Sometime the app will crash 3 times before I get thru an article. Sometimes it crashes 20 secs after opening it. ### 2/5 — Needs updating. *2017-07-12, version 9.5.5* The app still follows the twitter accounts of players that left my team over 2 seasons ago. ### 4/5 — Really good app *2017-02-08, version 9.5.1* I like this app, I check it every day and always something of interest. ### 4/5 — Not a bad app *2017-02-07, version 9.5.2* The App is not bad it sometimes goes overboard with its advice on what's happening with certain transfers but on the whole it gives good service. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2016-10-12, version 9.3.1* It's ok. ### 4/5 — Poppygazza *2016-09-09, version 9.3.1* Brilliant read, all the latest news of my favourite team. I check several times a day for updates. I would recommend it to my friends. ### 3/5 — Average *2016-06-17, version 9.0* Not as Upton date as it should be. Layout needs changing as it needs to grab your attention more. Sky Sports perfect example - short wording and pic then click on story. Would use more often if this was done. ### 2/5 — Not as good as it was *2016-06-12, version 9.0* Can't always read the story's as video ads pop up, not any where as good as it used to be , needs more gossip and less who has been training today ( the whole team I expect) ### 4/5 — Caughtoffside *2016-06-11, version 9.0* Not a bad app, quite informative at times, does however have a tendency for repetition and big club bias ### 5/5 — 👍 *2016-05-01, version 8.5.1* Great way to keep informed about world Football. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many intrusive ads. *2023-03-27* This used to be a good football app. It has now been rendered virtually useless by the ridiculous level of intrusive ads that just won’t go away. I understand there has to be ads for the app to be financially viable, but it’s got to the point where reading anymore than headlines is impossible . It’s just click bait now. 😢 ### 1/5 — Unreadable at the moment *2023-03-13* Hi all I’m not a clown or a hater but this app is almost unusable atm. I fully understand the need the to have ads to pay for it but it’s so broken that even reading a single article is almost impossible due to the ones that pop up on screen. Repeatedly. Repeatedly. Repeatedly. Repeatedly. Repeatedly. You can’t read anything. This is broken beyond belief. ### 1/5 — Too many pop up adds *2023-02-25* Annoying adds pop up every few seconds while reading an article. Really frustrating. You reading an rating without touching the screen then add pops up. You close add and few seconds later add opens again ### 1/5 — Full Screen Adverts Repeatedly Forced On You *2022-09-05* I used to love this app, but now they seem to have deemed it acceptable to force full screen adverts to start playing multiple times per article. This is disgusting behaviour and I have deleted it as a result. ### 1/5 — Used to be good! *2022-08-28* I used to look at this app many times every day. Now I've deleted the app because you are made to watch the advertising videos. The adverts auto play and no way of turning the off! ### 1/5 — Don’t install *2022-08-19* This app is a nightmare. Ads keep popping up while you are reading the articles. It became so bad I had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Scum *2019-04-22* So caught offside think it’s ok to fabricate news articles based on one tweet claiming LFC fans chanted about Sala death on Sunday, when they did nothing of the sort. When caught out by everyone including Cardiff fans proving this was fake news they issue a half hearted apology but leave the article up on the website!!!! Boycott this app. ### 1/5 — Failed to load *2016-12-27, version 9.5.1* Use to work but now doesn't even want to load past the logo screen. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2015-11-21, version 8.3.3* Was a good app but totally ruined by adverts now. Waste of space in its current form, hence I'm deleting it from my fone. ### 1/5 — Keeps redirecting to some advertisement *2015-07-10* I am so angry as transfer season is on which is my favourite time of footballing year and I can't read any article as it redirects me to some ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Caught offside *2017-03-05, version 9.5.3* Great source of information like it! ### 5/5 — A favourite *2017-02-28, version 9.5.3* I really like this app. It's my go to for ⚽️ news and results. ### 5/5 — Social media updates without the hassle *2017-02-24* Really like this. Sifts through social media for you to show you only the stuff you are untested in, based on the teams you select as your favourites. No need for searching through endless rubbish on Twitter. A decent selection of articles too and the adds don't attack you from all angles like on many similar apps. Can also opt in for live score updates. 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Nice app *2017-02-12, version 9.5.2* Very good app always have good news ### 5/5 — Like *2017-01-22, version 9.5.1* Love it ### 5/5 — One of the best for live football scores:) *2016-12-21* Loving it since I installed it.. keep up the good work guys...:) ### 5/5 — Dubs *2016-09-11, version 9.3.1* Brilliant app!!😜😜😜👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💥💥💥 ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2016-09-08, version 9.3.1* All the rumours and match stats and results in one app, been using it for a long time now, not much compares. ### 5/5 — Best soccer news aggregator *2016-07-14* I go to caught offside every day for breaking news and transfer updates. Customizable to just my teams. ### 5/5 — Just love it *2016-06-27, version 9.2* A must have app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
