### 1/5 — How do I change my email address?

*2024-10-24, version 13.0.2*

How do I change my email address on the app?  It’s my userid and I want to change it, but the only place where it is in the app is at sign-in.  There’s no place in the app to change it.  And when I touch “App Support” here, it just takes me to the FF Website.  What the heck?

### 1/5 — Ruined a Perfect App

*2024-10-21, version 13.0.2*

It’s used to be efficient and clean, all the scores were simpler to find and the black and white contrasted way better than blue and white, you can’t switch weeks while looking up a teams so if they’re on a bye you have get off the search bar switch and the week and then search again. This new app is poorly maintained and poorly designed, as of right now the entire chat is glitched where nobody can chat. Please developers take it back to the old version, you have no idea how many people stopped using this app because of how terrible the new version is.

### 1/5 — Nothing new

*2024-10-19, version 13.0.2*

This app takes away something every year and yet adds nothing new. I’m done.

### 1/5 — Game chats

*2024-10-19, version 13.0.2*

Thanks for taking away the best feature of this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible Move

*2024-10-19, version 13.0.2*

Gave 1 ⭐️ because NO STAR is not an option. In game chats disabled AGAIN!  Did someone step on admin’s toes? Say something negative about your buddy?  Chats are one of the best things about this app. No one wants to search Forms for their weekly game.

### 1/5 — Worse & worse

*2024-10-19, version 13.0.2*

The old Friday Night Rivals was way better.  Tepper & team have ruined a great Texas High School tradition & turned a once great app & magazine into a money grabbing operation. The latest straw was the removal of the in game chat & they never implemented private messaging.  No more subscription for me; it ain’t Dave Campbell without Dave Campbell.  So, don’t waste your money here.

### 1/5 — In game chats

*2024-10-19, version 13.0.2*

Quit removing the in game chats, that’s the one feature fans enjoy the most

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-10-12, version 13.0.2*

You can’t trust any of the scores, the functionality is terrible, and even worse, when you contact support to provide feedback they get argumentative and defensive of their terrible product saying it’s free, take it or leave it.

### 1/5 — What a joke of an app

*2024-10-07, version 13.0.2*

The only good thing about this app is the scores. They let 1 man talk about kids, coaches & is racial. They continue to let him post & they even kick him off.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-05, version 13.0.2*

Not worthy of the title “Texas Football”. More like Dave Shambles... UX/UI is lacking and the speed of the app to update and keep track of scores is woefully slow.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2024-09-28, version 13.0.2*

I’m a software developer, so I understand why it’s important to make applications user friendly and intuitive. This app is neither of those. It’s just incredibly hard to navigate. I finally figured out how to pull up the schedule of a team but clicking on the games does nothing. Why would each game not link to the game details, and clicking any team name take you to the main screen for that team? It’s a complete mess. I would give it zero stars if possible.

### 1/5 — horrible content control

*2024-09-21, version 13.0.2*

Any idiot can change the time and score of any game at any time and that’s exactly what happens.
You never know with any degree of certainty who is winning and what the score might actually be.
What a waste.

Update:  It’s actually getting worse.  No score that I can see on teams ai track is correct.
They need to simply DELETE this App.

### 1/5 — Went back to being terrible

*2024-09-20, version 13.0.2*

This app is the worst, shouldn’t have ruined it by getting rid of the old design. I used to be able to keep up with the games back when the app was at its peak. You can’t even see a teams schedule anymore. Absolutely awful

### 1/5 — update not working

*2024-09-02, version 13.0.2*

Have tried for days to update app. Same message app out of date. Fix this or get off the site.

### 2/5 — Review

*2024-09-02, version 13.0.2*

Wont let me update

### 3/5 — APP UPDATE

*2024-09-02, version 13.0.2*

When accessing app, error that app requires updating appears.  When I go to the app, there is no update.  HELP!

### 1/5 — Bring back old app

*2024-09-02, version 13.0.2*

Please bring back the old app. The new version does nothing but crash and not load scores. Old version was great for coaches riding bus home to check on scores. Now it’s awful

### 1/5 — Update

*2024-09-02, version 13.0.2*

Can’t use says app is out of date

### 1/5 — No upgraded App Available

*2024-09-02, version 13.0.2*

Told to update to a newer version in App store. Unable to do so because it puts you in a infinite loop where you can never download the newest version.  Typical of the stuff Texas Football puts out there.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-12-20, version 14.0.2*

Allows too many kids to mess with the score.

### 1/5 — Lost connection

*2025-12-06, version 14.0.2*

I have not been able to access Dave Campbell’s Texas Football since early in evening of December 5th, 2025. What happened? Can’t find any playoff scores.

### 1/5 — Rankings

*2025-11-20, version 14.0.2*

What’s wrong with your ratings section. Hasn’t been updated in awhile and you provide no information why!!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-11-07, version 14.0.2*

Worthless app! The ads keeping popping up so often I can’t even log in. The app lags and has a terrible and confusing way to navigate. Gives very little info on your team, unless it’s Desoto or Duncanville….MaxPrep isn’t much better but at least is easy to navigate and user friendly.

### 1/5 — Most User UN-Friendly App I have

*2025-10-16, version 14.0.2*

Trying to read an article or look at rankings or projections is so frustrating it could make a preacher cuss.  Holy cow guys, offer a paid version or some way to keep those videos from popping up constantly and covering the entire screen.  This is the first time I have ever reviewed an App, so congrats on making your app so difficult to use and dysfunctional that I couldn’t stay quiet.  Do better.

### 1/5 — Fan

*2025-07-30, version 13.0.2*

Get banned for anything that might be somewhat controversial yet others just bash players all the time

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-12-07, version 13.0.2*

Please up date the app it is slow and terrible.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-11-29, version 13.0.2*

This is what happens when liberals design apps. Complete garbage and the chat section of this app is frequently locked as freedom of speech has been hijacked by these scoundrels. Rip Fox Sports Friday Night Football

### 1/5 — I can’t chat “suspended”

*2024-11-02, version 13.0.2*

I can’t chat says I’m suspended until 1/1/2099.  I’ve never posted anything offensive just a few comments ever.  What can I do?  Can’t find a way to contact anyone either.

### 1/5 — Get max preps

*2024-11-01, version 13.0.2*

The app moderators will kick you off for years at a time for little or nothing with no explanation.

### 5/5 — Best

*2025-08-16, version 13.0.2*

BEST APP FOR TX FOOTBALL

### 5/5 — Fixed

*2021-09-14, version 9.1.0*

Worst update in history. Glad to be back to the old version

### 5/5 — Updated - Poor Upgrade

*2021-09-02*

***Update***

They listened to our concerns and reverted back to the app we all love.  Thank you for responding to our comments and concerns. Back to a 5-star rating you go!

***Original***

I am not sure why the decision was made to change this app. Been using the 5-star app for years. It was clean, it was accurate, it was bug-free.  It was just great!

Now they’ve replaced it with this. This app has so many bugs, it’s hard to use. Favorite teams don’t save right and you have to try multiple times to get it right. Scores don’t show accurate until you click into the game. Who has time to click into every game?  Several of the games won’t load when you click them - just says game doesn’t exist. 

How can we convince the owners of this app to revert to previous version until this one can be hardened a bit more?  1 star until then.

### 5/5 — Hallelujah!

*2021-09-01*

Hallelujah!  Thank you for going back to the old format!  I tried, I really did, to like the new design, but I never could get it to load games Friday night.  Too much clicking to even find what I was looking fir...now my games are right back where they’re supposed to be 😊 Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Make this app great again

*2021-08-30*

The old app was great!  Everyone was happy.  Then someone came along and ran it into the ground.  Probably didn’t even get into their position of power legally.  Then someone took back over and made this app great again.  I sure wish someone would do the same for our country.

### 5/5 — They went back to the old 5star app!

*2021-08-30*

Today I see they brought back the old app which was and still is a 5 star winner. The so called ‘update’ was a Zero-star unmitigated disaster of the worst sort. I deleted it off my phone. When I heard they reverted to the classic app I reinstalled it to see for myself. Lo and behold! PLEASE DO NOT SCREW WITH THIS APP ANYMORE. What on earth ever made anyone want to mess with it in the first place?

### 5/5 — Update

*2021-08-30, version 9.1.0*

Multiple issues with the new version forced the return of the app Texas high school football app fans knew and loved. Thanks to DCTF recognizing and returning to the previous version.

### 4/5 — App unable to load and reset the app is getting old

*2022-09-09*

Your app has failure to load I have reloaded the app 3 times this will make 4. Reminds me of last year you might want to the tried and true instead of ticking people off the reason my name has already being used is you have to reload the stupid app

### 4/5 — Good Job Boys

*2021-09-03, version 9.1.0*

We all appreciate when a person or company admits their mistakes and/or rights a wrong. 
You listened to the people (and saw $$$ leaving)
Regardless, the app that worked just fine before the 2021 “upgrade” is back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 4/5 — Reverting Update!

*2021-08-30*

Been using this app for years and just recently realized there was a new update which changed the look and everything. I fully agree with other reviewers on the disappointing new update. However, reverting the app back to the original was a great decision by the developer and I’m happy to be able to check scores so easily again!
