You don't follow football. The pub does. The office does. The group chat will not stop. You could Google in the toilets. You could ask an AI and pray it didn't invent the score. Or you could walk in with a brief. Onsider is the conversation survival tool for people who don't follow the game but can't avoid it this summer. Set your mission — the pub, the office, a watch party — and it hands you exactly what to say. YOUR BRIEFING, BEFORE THE WHISTLE • Two or three fact-checked lines for the actual match, with the reason each one sounds credible • The one name that will dominate tonight — and how to pronounce it without getting caught • A cover identity tailored to your crowd, including the teams you must never praise • A risk rating on every line: safe, needs nerve, or hard pass GO LIVE — FOR WHEN THE TALKING STARTS One tap launches the panic deck: a dark, glanceable screen showing one line at a time, phone half-hidden under the table. Tap to cycle. Need out? The EXTRACT line gets you gracefully to the bar. AirPods in? Whisper Mode reads the lines straight into your ear. Nobody needs to know. CHECKED, NOT IMPROVISED Every line in Onsider comes from a hand-curated corpus, checked against reliable football sources — 85 player legends, 135 teams, 104 pronunciations — and ships exactly as written. No AI improvisation between the record and your mouth. We can't promise perfection — but getting caught with a made-up stat is exactly what Onsider is built to prevent. BUILT FOR NON-FANS, NOT AGAINST THEM No league tables. No stats grids. No homework. Just the few things you need to be in the room instead of outside it. You won't become a fan. You'll just sound like you knew enough — and said it well. BURN AFTER USE No account. No sign-up. Your mission stays on your device. Light ads help keep the app free — GO LIVE is always ad-free.

Also includes: Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, and a matchday countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. The tournament starts this week. Your brief takes sixty seconds. Know enough. Say it right. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Ad-Free | $1.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-31 Onsider now follows the football. AIMS ITSELF The dossier works out what's actually on — the league season or a summer tournament — and points itself at it. Your cover options lead with clubs during a club season and swing back to national teams when a tournament comes round. No more "the file is closed": if there's no match on the horizon, it says what IS on, and everything else still works. You can override it, too: Field kit → Aim, if you only ever get dragged into football during tournaments. LINES YOU CAN ACTUALLY SAY The point of a bluff is that it survives being said out loud. An impressive fact you can't back up just invites a second question — so every one of the 141 team dossiers and 114 player dossiers now carries a line written to draw agreement rather than an interrogation, and the app tells you what the room is likely to say back and how to answer it. Plus a proper library of the fact-free stuff that works anywhere: openers, reactions for when something happens and everyone looks at you, deflections for when you're asked a direct question, and a way out of the conversation. SAFER COVERS Fixed a real one: the cover sheet could recommend a team your room quietly hates, because a club's supporters carry a national allegiance the app wasn't accounting for. It now does. It also warns you off the team your room is about to play — the one identity you'd be asked about all night. QUIETER, SHARPER On-device intelligence now helps pick which curated line suits the moment (it still never writes one — every line you read was written and checked by a human). Same number of ad slots, same places, still none in Live or Cover. ### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-26 The season is on, and the brief went live with it. The fixtures board now carries the real club schedule — this week's matchdays, kick-off times, and full-time scores as they land (delayed, checked, never guessed). Name the room's team and the brief aims itself: their next match on the countdown, their result the morning after. Club rooms, fully armed. The mission editor's team picker has club rooms — the full Premier League, the European giants, the Americas, alongside all the national teams. Name the room and the covers, kill-list and briefing re-tailor on the spot. The kill-list knows the club map. Hand-written never-say files for the biggest club rooms — the derby you must not joke about, the pronunciation that outs you, the take you cannot win. Where a club's history carries real tragedy, the file says so plainly, and says it first. Some ground is not banter; the app will never let you wander onto it. New covers for club conversations, every one reviewed against the rivalry map — including the quiet, complete answer: "I mostly follow the national team." Match alerts follow your club now, and the next-match widget counts down to their kickoff. The 2026 file is closed and archives itself — month-old tournament chat is how covers get blown. Also folded in: double-tap any line to copy it (a LIFTED stamp confirms), a cover page that stops assuming which room you're in, and Settings voice instructions that fold away instead of vanishing. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-11 Pick any real match — finally. The mission editor's match picker now offers the actual upcoming fixtures, knockout rounds included, straight from the schedule — not just the group pairings. Your briefing grounds to the game you're actually watching, and the card carries the round it belongs to. Steal this line. Every bluff dossier now has a copy button that puts the line — bare, no watermark — straight on your clipboard, and a share button (with a small credit) for handing a fellow struggler their own cover. On the live deck, a long-press lifts the line mid-match. Line of the day, on your Home Screen. A new widget serves one verified gem from the dossier each morning — same one the app leads with — plus the lock-screen version for a glance on the way in. On your wrist. The Apple Watch companion arrives: your next line on the watch, and a GO LIVE complication for when the chat starts and the phone's in your pocket. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-06-25 The Dossier is out of the drawer. Everything worth saying — the legends, the jargon, the names, the talking points, the rivalries that turn a room — used to be filed away where you'd never find it. Now it has a tab of its own: The Dossier. One tap and the whole archive is in your hands, the conversational stuff first and the rulebook last, where it belongs. There's a daily briefing on the home screen, too: one verified thing worth knowing, rotating every day — a name worth dropping, a line to try, a record for the record, a word quietly decoded. Tap it and you're straight into the file. And the place is wired together now. A player links to the other greats, a nation to its grudge matches, a bluff to the names you'll have to say out loud. No more dead ends — every thread pulls another. No new buttons to learn. The same quiet file, finally easy to reach. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-20 The dossier just got deeper - more to say about every side in the tournament. Every nation in the field now carries more cover: extra lines to drop into the conversation, each one tied to a real, checked fact - never a guess. And the names you keep tripping over? More of them are now set down the way they're actually said, ready to rehearse in Whisper Mode. There's a bigger practice run, too - more rounds before the room fills up - alongside more openers, a fuller glossary, and a few more safe identities to hide behind when someone asks who you support. No new buttons to learn. Just a thicker file. The rest, as ever, is the quiet sort of work you'll never notice - which is the idea. ## More apps by Daniel Murray - [Krux - Markdown Editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/krux-markdown-editor/id6762522587) All apps by Daniel Murray: https://appshunter.io/developer/1894520467 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
