### 1/5 — Deleted when it went Pro

*2026-07-19*

Before it went to Pro it was something me and the lads at work would do everyday, the career path and tower, there was bugs where player names wouldn’t work way too often. You’d end up spending half an hour trying to work out an answer only for it to be the answer you’d already typed in.

The design is clean and easy to use.

Once it went to Pro I deleted. I appreciate money needs to be made but I’m not paying for an app this simple which doesn’t actually always work. I’d prefer an add or a banner add. There’s enough entertainment subscriptions around without having to pay for a football quiz app.

**Developer response:** Hi Danny
Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear you have deleted the app.

We aren’t about making money, we are trying to give football fans a place of fun to play with friends, however to ensure the games work seamlessly that does incur cost that we do have to try and offset in some way. The Tower will remain free to play at all times as will our new Road To Glory games.

We’ll always look to amend the app to be what football fans want so thank you again for your feedback
