Missed me with that. Why should I be penalized for signing the day of if that’s what the app allows me to do? ### 1/5 — Ban for no reason *2024-05-16* I got ban for no reason lol ### 1/5 — Admin is extremely rude, unfriendly and obnoxious *2024-05-01* I’ll start by saying that I guarantee all of the positive reviews on here are fake and created by the admin of this app in the boston area. She asked for my phone to leave a 5 star review and comment in return for free game credits. If you sign up for a game within 24 hours of it started, you get “banned”, with the money you paid to play only being refunded in game credits. You may ask why the option to pay and sign up for a game exists even if its not allowed within 24 hours of it starting, and the answer is so the admin can ban you, take your money and make you pay a $1 “yellow card” fee to even get back into the app. The admin in the boston location was extremely obnoxious and would yell at other players for not passing her the ball, even though she is the admin on the app and everyone else paid to play. Games are cancelled on the drop of a dime for no apparent reason, and if you ask why, you will get banned (not exaggerating) and insulted. The admin actually bragged to me that she has “banned over 200 people” from the app just for signing up and paying for a game within 24 hours of it starting! I have screenshots of my chat with her to prove it (among the insults I was called). Stay far away from this scam. It’s sad because this app definitely has potential if it weren’t for the power tripping, lunatic admin that runs this thing in the Boston area. This review probably wont even get posted because she’ll report it immediately, but stay away at all costs. ### 5/5 — Lovely app *2024-04-21* Nice app ### 5/5 — superb *2024-04-20* excellent app. love design . just what i was looking for. ### 1/5 — Be careful out there *2024-04-18* I don’t recommend supporting this app/organization. I signed up for a game and only one other person arrived until about 25 minutes after the start time. Eventually we got a game started with some dudes hanging around the field. After another 20 minutes the league owner “Erin” showed up. She stopped the game and demanded we switch into the jerseys she had brought, and added herself to a team. That’s when she realized someone had messaged her asking for a refund due to the late start and lack of players. She proceeded to tell him he’s banned and to get the f out of here. When he once again asked for a refund she attempted to rip his jersey off. He remained calm, but she threatened to call the police nonetheless. Needless to say I didn’t end up getting a good game in and I won’t be going back. **Developer response:** Prithvi was caught using racism language and physically assaulting others. We take safety seriously and have zero tolerance for bigots and bullies, so we are glad players alerted us of him and that we toke to appropriate steps to keep him from further causing harm to others. ### 5/5 — Fun and nice *2024-04-10, version 2.0.0* Happy the crew is cool games are fun ### 5/5 — Love the app *2024-04-09, version 2.0.0* Me and my team love palhinha Esther this group ### 5/5 — Exceptional app *2024-04-09, version 2.0.0* Sign up show up. Couldn’t be more happier with the app. And the ground . Love playing with this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app *2025-06-04* Admins are racists avoid playing with this app ### 1/5 — This company is racist *2025-05-13* This company goes on instagram posts and uses its social media account to spread hate. Such a recently commenting on a post from Boston25 about a boy who had tragically passed away, and commenting “who cares what happens to ☪️” ### 1/5 — Racist *2025-01-25* the owner of this app is very racist ### 1/5 — Owners are racists *2025-01-23* Owners are against Latinos in the USA when primary audience is immigrants that go play for them ### 1/5 — Mrs Nelson *2025-01-22* The app owner has proven to be blatantly racist. Don’t forget one thing, you’re NOT WHITE ### 1/5 — Worst admin management *2024-08-22* Worst experience! the game didn’t happened Not even getting any credits for the event canceled Admin says they are not responsible Host didn’t show up either I am paying for what then I would rather play on the lopresti field for free ### 1/5 — Unprofessional admins & app with glitches *2024-07-29* App gave me credits for a cancelled game, so I used them to join another game, but it charged me the full amount from my credit card and used up all credits. What’s the point of credits if they are useless?? App also had another glitch that showed a game as $0 and I got 3 spots. After the game, admin asked me to pay $45. I asked why I am paying for something that was shown as $0. If that was an app glitch, then it needs to be fixed, it is not my problem. After saying this, I was kicked out of the app and asked for another $50 to join back. Very unprofessional and amateur. ### 1/5 — Racism *2024-07-04* Admin is racist towards Muslims and banned all Muslim players on the app after calling them slurs ### 1/5 — Not Friendly at all *2024-05-28* Downloaded this app today, was looking at the rules. They said every player must bring a ball, I was not sure why I asked them why would we need 18 balls to a soccer game. They got mad and restricted me from the app 😂. Looks like the admin is a little mad with everyone. Honestly this is my first review ever on the App Store. I had to do it to make everyone know! ### 1/5 — They scam your money *2024-05-27* They fine you constantly for late sign ups with 5$. It gets ridiculous to the point you get fined for games that are already cancelled. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lots of fun! *2024-10-16* I recommend Play Now Sports! ### 5/5 — Best Soccer App! *2024-10-14* It’s actually funny because I found this app looking for pickup American football, but I only typed pickup football and this showed up. At that time I was just getting interested in soccer, but my best friend had always loved it, so I showed it to him and we both decided to start playing with the app. We’ve been playing with the app for over a year now. There’s games multiple days a week and even sometimes multiple in a day if you’re feeling ambitious. Other times we’ll go out to eat/drink after the games with some of the people from the game. Have met some really cool people and have made good friends because of this app. 10/10 would recommend. Hope to see you there! ### 5/5 — Sign up show *2024-05-05* Could ask for a better app ### 5/5 — great support *2024-05-04* the admin responds quickly and kindly this is a private FC and we like that everyone is following the rules to contribute to a good game ### 5/5 — Majestic and super *2024-04-29* Good Ole reliable games. Made good friends perfect app ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-04-29* Play now is a great app to find out soccer games in the Boston area. I highly recommend this app to those soccer lovers. ### 5/5 — Soccer Everyday *2024-04-24* The group is what makes this app great. We all come as individuals and end up with great friendships. The host encourage after game watch parties wether it’s the championship league or another league it’s fun to play soccer and make friends. ### 5/5 — All I need *2024-04-23* Nice games . great group of players. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing *2024-04-22* Hands down the best soccer app in Boston. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2024-04-21* Love the design --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
