### 5/5 — What a game

*2026-07-30, version 1.9.3*

Genuinely obsessed with this game currently

### 5/5 — This is very good

*2026-07-23, version 1.9.3*

Very very good

### 5/5 — A joy to be addicted to

*2026-06-28, version 1.9.3*

The only problem with this game is that because it's so easy to play a whole season you keep saying to yourself just one more... I recently switched to iOS. This was the first app I looked for on my move. Sooo good - I keep coming back to it.

### 5/5 — Brilliant game

*2026-06-18, version 1.9.3*

This game is an upgrade from the free version which allows you to super pass the 30 free season so if you want to take your team to the top it’s a good investment and such a good game. It’s not just a game that takes you to the prem in a couple of years it actually takes you thoroughly through the leagues and takes many years to get yourself out of the division. There’s loads of unexpected events that change up the game and features that make it interesting and gives you a challenge rather than a pay to win game.

### 4/5 — Supi

*2026-06-09, version 1.9.3*

### 5/5 — Hi

*2026-04-11, version 1.9.3*

Best game ever

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-09, version 1.9.3*

Very fun and defo worth the money with no ads

### 3/5 — Eingeschränkt bedienbar.

*2026-04-06*

Die App müsste dringend für die Bedienungshilfen VoiceOver optimiert werden.
Verbesserte Darstellung der Tabelle sowie Disgaea wären nötig, damit blinde und sehbehinderte Menschen die App uneingeschränkt nutzen könnten.
Auch die einzelnen Segmente auf dem Startbildschirm sollten einen einheitlichen Fokus erhalten und nicht Überschrift und Zahl getrennt voneinander. Es gibt auch noch weitere Verbesserungspotenzial für die Unterstützung von Bedienungshilfen.

### 4/5 — First season promo

*2026-03-29, version 1.9.3*

Enjoy playing and hope to play more
