Excellent, comprehensive, and far better than the written books we used to receive!

Glad to see the laws of the game digitized. The physical book was great while it lasted all those decades ago, but this is so much better. Much easier to search and the question and answer section could be a book all on its own. Might need a better organizational method on the Q&A, but the laws are organized as they always have been, which is great. Really appreciate the standardization.

Thank you very much for your review. We're happy to hear that you enjoy using the Laws of the Game app. Your positive feedback is highly appreciated. If you have any ideas on how to make the app and its Q&A section even better, please send us an email with your suggestions at logapp@theifab.com. All the best, The IFAB

Love the Q&A Updates!

The recent addition of the “save” and “show answer” buttons for the Q&As are very appreciated! I will literally open this app at halftime or after the match to educate a player/coach/referee, and being able to quickly find the Q&As I need most often will be a great help. Keep up the amazing work!

Still using last season’s odds

We are two months into the new season, an international break and even 3 months into the new laws being in place.

Did no one thought about updating this app in this time? It’s not hard to edit.

Useful app, would be better if it were designed for iPad as well.

Good: I can generally find what I need pretty easily out at the fields.

Needs improvement: When studying up at home at the beginning of the new season it’d be nice if the app were designed for both iPad and iPhone. As it stands I prefer to use the PDF for this.

Thank you for your review. As you noticed, the Laws of the Game app can be opened on iPad, however, the application is not designed (specifically) for this kind of device. If we can do something else to earn a higher rating, please do not hesitate to let us know. All the best, The IFAB

Add Quiz option to Q&A

Amazing learning tool, it will sound like a Christmas wishlist but: 1. please add a daily random pop up Q&A, that would be amazing to test out knowledge.
2. Also possibly add the audio files that are already available on website option.

Add Quiz option to Q&A

I love this app, simple and easy to navigate. I would like to add a user suggestion as a developing referee. I believe that there might be two ways to improve this app as a learning tool. Perhaps giving video examples of some of the laws, specially the offside and fouls and misconduct. I know that doing that might require time and money to get done. So the second best option would be to add a quiz of the Q & A to practice knowledge and understanding of the laws.

Thank you for your positive feedback. The current version of the app includes four editions of the Laws of the Game: 2023/24, 2022/23, 2021/22, and 2020/21. If you want to change the edition and read the new Laws, please tap ... in the bottom right corner of the home screen, go to 'Edition', select Edition 2023/24 and click Save. All the best, The IFAB

Какая причина не добавлять русский язык?

Удалось с «бубнами» запустить Правила.
Если сменить регион, да и язык вдобавок, то правила возможно скачать, но не на Родном языке.
В приложении четыре изданий правил (23/24, 22/23, 21/22 и 20/21) и только 21/22 на русском языке. Т.е. скачиваете после смены региона правила, далее в настройках приложения меняете издание на 21/22 и далее там же добавляете русский язык. В других изданиях родного нет на 2023.07.06.

Please note that The IFAB publishes the Laws of the Game app in seven language versions: English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese. Regarding other languages (e.g. Russian), the publication depends on the national football associations. Best regards, The IFAB

Meets needs

It would be nice if the search feature would
1. highlight the searched-term;
2. and when the user selects the back arrow, it returned back to the original completed searches so the user can continue.
3. Consideration whether the search "magnifying glass" on the page for EACH individual law would act as a ctrl'f for the page, rather than a universal church from the home page or table of contents.
3b. If 3a 'works', then the next time the 'magnifying glass' is selected, the previous term searched remains as default (so the user can continue searching for the tram through sections of the individual law).

Curious how long it takes to upload new updates to the law. For example, when will 2023/24 be updated.

Quirky Search features

Very handy app.

My only complaint is that the search feature is quirky. When I type a word in the search box and select "done" often the screen is just blank. It is unclear if it is actively searching or it there were no results found. Then when I tap on the search box again to maybe go search for another word, oddly the results I was waiting for then appears.

Or say it actually does say "no results found" from a prior search, it will hold on to that when I then search for a word I know is in there. It will keep saying "no results found" until I redo the new search several times over and over and it will finally yield results.

Make Q&A Searchable

App is good, however it would be great if there was a search feature within the Q&A section.

Once the language version is downloaded (at least one), you can use the app and read the Laws of the Game on your mobile device without internet access. Please note that you need to be online if you want to browse the Q&A section or change the preferred language. All the best, The IFAB
