### 3/5 — Not good for keeper

*2020-09-25, version 1.39*

Very good to do but requires a lot of money for the equipment needed and no keeper drills

### 3/5 — Good

*2020-09-09, version 1.39*

This app is good but I am wondering where I can unlock some dribbling sesssions

### 3/5 — Eh

*2020-09-02, version 1.39*

It has good training sessions but it charges you tons of money. You can literally go on youtube and that is free so you should look in youtube or online for free tips instead of paying. Tons of pros are on youtube so you are bound to find something.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-06-09, version 1.36*

I really enjoy using this app, but I’m unable to train at the moment so I’d like to temporarily unsubscribe, I can’t find how to unsubscribe though?

### 3/5 — Impossible to get thru quickly

*2020-04-08, version 1.34*

The drills are great and all but whenever you go practice you have to wait about 2 minutes for every demonstration video. It always buffers, stops but keeps playing with no video and you have to start it over a few times before it actually works.its extremely irritating and a waste of time so instead of taking 10-12 minutes to do your power drills it takes you at least 20-25 if you want to see the demonstration video which is only half a minute
Ridiculous

### 5/5 — Soccer

*2020-04-08, version 1.34*

This training app is one of the best, I’ve learn so much from it and has helped me improve dramatically, within my soccer ability. I can feel the improvement when I’m on the pitch.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-03-30, version 1.33*

Otb keeps me motivated all the time and makes training easier and better than ever before.  I live everything about it

### 5/5 — Technical skills

*2020-03-04, version 1.30*

I was a little skeptical forking our the cash for this app but it’s been worth it. I don’t know anywhere else I can get access to such high quality drills.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-03-02, version 1.30*

Improved my game so much thanks OTB

### 5/5 — Great app for improving your skills on the ball and off!

*2020-02-17, version 1.28*

We reviewed this app on our instagram @kj_ftbl. We found that the functions are all smooth and the information and tips they provide are very beneficial towards your talent/skill.

### 5/5 — Great football training app !

*2020-02-11, version 1.27*

My son loves this app he does all the training drills from the app on his phone in our garden ! 
He also has some of the equipment which is brilliant quality! Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Such a good idea

*2020-02-11, version 1.27*

This app is so good once you get it, I got some equipment too and it’s improved my performance so much

### 5/5 — If you want to develop your ability. This is the app!

*2020-01-24, version 1.26*

In April of last year I started using this app and had a few problems. The people who run the app were brilliant at updating this and getting it to work perfectly. I recently downloaded it again and it again and the drills,gym videos and the interviews with players have been brilliant developing my knowledge for the game. 100% recommend this!

### 5/5 — My Personal Soccer trainer

*2019-11-28, version 1.24*

An easy to use app that has provided me with amazing videos, better than personal soccer trainers, and I highly recommend you all to try it for yourself too. It’s Unreal man!

### 1/5 — Network error SO ANNOYING AND WILL NOT RESPOND

*2025-06-02, version 1.53*

I had a network error every time I try and do anything in app so nothing works and on top of that the support forms I get no response and no help from it please for your own sanity DO NOT buy the subscription and do not pay for this company its all a scam.

### 1/5 — Please HELP ME

*2024-03-29, version 1.53*

I really want to use the app but have to pay to use it! I just want to become a better footballer and can’t even use the app

### 1/5 — It’s awful!

*2021-06-22, version 1.42*

Another app built by techie geeks with no fitness or football knowledge. Paid pro footballers to advertise the app. Exercises are from 1980’s like the plank, static stretching and saq, totally not football related and old fashioned level 2 gym instructor.

### 1/5 — Looks great but no audio

*2020-11-28, version 1.40*

App must be incompatible with iPads and iPhones.  Only intro videos will play sound but none of the individual skill videos play audio on two devices.  I’m sure it is very helpful if the audio works, but without it the app is useless.

### 1/5 — Took my money and didn’t even let me on the app

*2020-08-25, version 1.39*

Signed up for this, payed the price and it said error try and again and took the money off me. Very annoyed about this, I couldn’t even access my account to do the training. I cancelled it straight away as well and still took the money even when cancelled.

### 1/5 — Why can’t I cancel

*2020-05-04, version 1.35*

I don’t like the app and I don’t know how to cancel

### 1/5 — This app is a scam

*2019-08-24, version 1.20*

This app has hardly any drills that keep on repeating.

### 1/5 — Fake reviews and app is rip off

*2018-10-11, version 1.5*

Look at all the reviews the names are all obviously fake. Compare it to the bad ratings the names look more real. Also do we actually have to pay this much what is this crap?!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2018-09-22, version 1.5*

Took 2 months of £11.99 off me and just said “upgrade to a premium account” every Time i tried to use it.... took my money and gave me nothing

### 1/5 — DO NOT BY SUBSCRIPTION!!

*2018-09-15, version 1.5*

Great app but seriously steals your money! I’ve had the app delete cause of lack of interest but they still throw you monthly bills and when you go to cancel it on the app you can’t!! They are literally robbing me and it’s beyond a joke. I’ve sent emails no responses or anything. What a joke

### 5/5 — On the ball

*2020-09-22, version 1.39*

Such a good app ! Such good quality sessions to do aswell! Totally recommend

### 5/5 — Amazing training app I’ve improved massively

*2020-09-06, version 1.39*

I love OnTheBall so much I’ve become the best player on my team by far and the drills are amazing. The only thing I don’t know how to increase my skill level on statics I can only improve speed, strength and power drills. Overall a brilliant app💯🙌🏼

### 5/5 — Bc

*2020-08-18, version 1.39*

Very good app and helping me alot but cannot seem to use the 'in the gym' feature

### 5/5 — Great training app

*2020-07-25, version 1.37*

I’ve been training on this app everyday and I’ve noticed a change in my skills and everyone else has to. This app has loads quality drills which can improve you on what weaker at.

### 5/5 — One of the best apps ever!!!

*2020-05-14, version 1.35*

This app is literally the best app on the app store. Very quick and helpful. Would definitely recommend

### 5/5 — Excellent football training app!!

*2020-05-14, version 1.35*

I have been looking for an ideal football training app to help with training my 7 year old and as a dad with no football background I find this app refreshing. Wish they had a site that sold all the equipment that they use in their training videos. I was quite interested in the rebound wall/board that they use in their training videos. I have looked all over the internet without any luck. Other than that the app is impressive.

### 5/5 — Best app on the market

*2020-05-06, version 1.35*

Beat training app the app store can offer. Effective drills that can help you improve your game and make you better in every aspect of your game. It has over 1000 drills that you can by yourself or with a partner. Definitely recommend it.

### 5/5 — Quality

*2020-04-18, version 1.34*

Really good app helping my son no ends

### 5/5 — Motivating App

*2020-04-18, version 1.34*

I have been coaching for 20 years and since I integrated OTB drills to my training sessions I am very happy with the improvement the juniors at my club have made

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2020-04-12, version 1.34*

Very grateful for an app like this.. love the sessions & the depth that has gone into this app. Very well rounded with warm ups/cool downs/somewhat injury prevention as well as having agility/speed etc in the right order (in terms of following sports science guidelines/knowledge) 
Worth the investment!
