Ripped off

Whoever was paid to make this app ripped goals right off. Doesn’t work regularly, has the memory of a particularly slow goldfish.

The old app that worked, worked. Why upgrade to this garbage!?

Not much of a difference from the old app

Still struggling to pay my share
Still unable to use find a player to find games or players
They have added a few things we didn’t expect but did not fix the issues with the old app completely

Awful

Paying for pitches is a nightmare, numerous error messages, they charged me twice when booking, does not correctly display pitches booked when selecting times, and does not respond to buttons at all on occasion. Please fix

As clunky as the old one

Some elements are ok like it not signing you out each time which was an annoyance on the old app.

However countless new issues which show a severe lack of user testing prior to launch:

Frequently asking to share location information regardless of it being answered accept/deny.

Profile photo option which does not save when you click onto another screen so is absolutely useless.

Paying takes so many more steps than the old version. Surely having a login should quickly learn which team or booking you are frequently playing in and remember this for next time.

App screens appear as though they haven't been coded properly as clear texture issues and blur.

Could be made so much better with a little bit of effort, as a rule of thumb innovation should remove problems or steps, not create them.

Thanks for the feedback, simplicity is the key we agree! We would love some more if you wouldn't mind sharing your details with customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk we will be in touch. Regarding the payment steps, we've a few extra steps, but a few new features - choosing your pitch which was never possible before, and any items required for your game!

Does not work

Trying to pay my share over a month now and unable to do so. Keep pressing the button, no error message, just unresponsive. Tried from an iPhone 13 pro.

Response from developer

Hi Leo, It looks like we didnt get a primary club set for you/chosen. If you restart your app, you should be forced to select one.

Improvements have been made!

I think this app a lot cleaner than the last one. I’ve been able to submit my feedback on there with any issues I’ve had which have then been resolved.

Good Upgrade

Looks more modern than the old one and booking has been made easier. Great.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback Skylar! We have some exciting updates to follow and any individual support you can always reach out to customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk! ⚽[G]

Looks nicer but some functions are broken

Looks better and more modern than the old app but the functions to manage squad and check payments are not working properly so it’s a bit useless until that is fixed.

Hi Shi-Phu, Thanks for leaving a review. Would it be possible to get in touch with customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk and we can make sure that any issues you encountered are fully resolved?

Garbage

Used this new app for the first time today.

More clicks that previously to pay your share.

Payment taken twice, after my first attempt did not yield a “Transaction complete” screen or email, didn’t show up in the “Order history” page, and was delayed showing up on my banking record. When it all finally updated, the orders show up as Glasgow West in the “Bookings” history — hundreds of miles from where I live and play, though presumably it’s Goals HQ.

Feedback/Bugs/Enquiry form does not submit anything. If I type anything at all, it flashes a “Loading…” graphic briefly but then does not proceed.

A bunch of other features that I’m sure very few customers asked for or would ever care about, add clutter. Some places are marked as “Coming Soon”.

Personally, no problems with the old app, and I can’t speak about features that I haven’t used on this new one. App is just pretty dire and doesn’t appear to have been tested very well before launch.

There’s a terminal at my local Goals now where people can pay there, sort of like a self-checkout there, and I know other people to still pay at the desk. That’s a testament to the developers’ poor work here.

Hi Will, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We released some updates over the air last week that should address any issues you've mentioned. Would it be possible to get in touch with customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk, it would be great to hear any more suggestions you might have to improve the app.

Just as bad as the old app

Still so many issues.

Checking fixtures is clunky and often won’t allow you to see fixtures from leagues below the top league.

League defaults to an old location every time despite having updated this on numerous occasions.

Payment split option only divides the amount due not the total amount so is misleading.

And now it says Successfully Signed In and stays on the login page meaning Incant even get in the app

Hi Connor, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. A recent update should improve your experience, but it would be great to hear any more feedback you might have. Could you email us at customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk?

Check to see who has paid

There needs to be an option for organisers who book goals sessions to check to see who has paid. That was a good feature on the previous app which I cannot see on this one.

Hi TEVSKI A recent update should improve your experience, but it would be great to hear any more feedback you might have. Could you email us at customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk?

If you thought the last app was bad wait until you try this new one.

1. Can’t even sign in anymore. Says I’ve signed in but doesn’t do anything.

2. Pay my share options doesn’t add up, just splits the remaining to be paid. Instead of giving you a 10th of the total.

3. Nothings easy to find. Like looking for sunglasses after a car crash. It’s there you’ve got to dig about and find it.

New app, but still not ironed out glitches - should have tested properly prior to release

Can barely pay for a game in advance as the app glitches and only loads times for that day. Takes minutes of pressing between different dates and back to the date you want to pay for before it finally works!

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully your issues were resolved? Any individual support you can always reach out to customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk! ⚽[G]

Needs tested properly

The payment suggestions are wrong - if it’s 5 a side then divide the total price by ten not the remaining balance - that’s going to cause chaos !

Also the view doesn’t render properly when the KO times are shown on - the minutes are below the hours and it just looks messy.

Proper testing would prevent such obvious mistakes.

Downgrade

It seems the new app is a backwards step in terms of UX. What was wrong with having the date/time/booking name all in one step? Why is there now a pay 30% option instead of the original 10% (which bearing in mind most pitches are booked for 5-a-side seems logical). A horrible downgrade from the old app.

Works well but pay your share is deceiving

The pay your share section suggests a price based on the pitch size, but it currently divides that balance due by the amount of players, not the total balance, so you don’t pay an even share if you pay the suggested balance. Thats going to to cause a lot of people problems

Response from developer

Hi Powlodinio Thanks for lettings us know. A recent update should resolve this issue, but it would be great to hear any more feedback you might have. Could you email us at customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk?

Gie’s a Game

Does everything you want from a football app 👍

Easy to pay and organise games

Easy to pay and organise games

Game changer

Brilliant app - squad management features much better and easier to pay

League details don’t work correctly

When using the league stats, when you select a league and click search it keeps returning to the first league in the list. Not sure if this is the app, or the way the Reading leagues have been setup.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to use and review the app! Could you possibly email us at customerservices@goalsfootball.co.uk if this is still an issue and we’ll make sure you can view the stats as you need to?
