Disappointed! Brian in BANBURY UK. Still a disappointing app. What used to be a go to app for info on WSL & PREMIER LEAGUE. Has nothing useful for me. Brian ### 2/5 — No fixtures *2024-09-22, version 2.0.8* Logged on today ready for a new season of women’s football and there’s no fixtures or live games, suffice to say not a very happy person at this precise moment ### 3/5 — Think again ! *2024-05-06, version 2.0.6* Sometimes cannot log in. Why make it so difficult ? Live streams will not always load; either picture or sound. Lastly. Scheduling male and female games on the same day at different venues does not help a genuine fan. And at the same times is just crass. ### 3/5 — crashing *2024-05-05, version 2.0.6* A good app but is constantly crashing ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2024-05-05, version 2.0.6* I consistently have to miss watching matches or miss the beginning of matches because the app (and web player) fails to work. ### 1/5 — Won’t play *2024-04-28, version 2.0.6* Tv or iPhone ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Crashes when traffic is high. Can’t be relied upon. AWFUL. ### 1/5 — Black screen when watching Arsenal *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* The streaming service on iPad is rubbish, and the log in on windows doesn’t work It’s like you’ve moved to a limited streaming service just to phase out desktop viewing. Your executives must have a prejudice against those of us who work and don’t earn much. Also though, I have an iPad eleven I have the FA player app, and yet I can’t see Arsenal because all I get is a black screen and it is You, because how can I see Lewis v Crystal Palace and yet not Arsenal. ### 1/5 — Delete *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Trying to watch a match first half all I get is “ not broadcasting “ took an age to sign up am just about to delete. ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Tried so many times to watch live games , it’s doesn’t work. The screen starts off with colour then does black . Logged in and out ( which is glitchy) and checked my settings still does not play. Whats the point of this app. ### 1/5 — Completely dead *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Got log in for watch my favourite team… shut out nothing happens ### 1/5 — Poor *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Awful app. Never updates the info re which games will be shown, loads of glitches re streaming, streaming always starts late if at all. ### 2/5 — Constant errors *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* When the player works it is great. But sadly too many time I try to watch and just get error messages. ### 1/5 — Can’t get onto the games *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Have you run performance tests on this app as its performance is shocking ### 1/5 — Blank Screen *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Log out and log in. Sometimes works, but most the time doesn’t, just a blank screen!! ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* No feed? ### 1/5 — Very poor *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* Tried to watch a live game today, it would not stream on any device. Added to previous poor camera work and terrible commentary this is an absolute shambles. Shame on you, we are trying to support the women’s game and we can’t because you can’t get your act together ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* It’s not working when trying to watch a match that is advertised ### 1/5 — wont let me watch anything *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* i have tried multiple times to watch a game and all that happens is a blank screen every time do not reccomend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2025-03-09, version 2.0.8* So not only did it takes ages to set up a account. I then am going to have to watch the match with the other fixtures / what's live now at the bottom of the screen. The commentators sound awful it a cross between underwater and no signal. Have given up watching on my laptop as half screen is missing and watching in silent too 🤬 ### 1/5 — Use to love the app *2025-03-09, version 2.0.8* I can’t get logged into my account and when I can it doesn’t let me watch or listen to any of the matches always comes up with an error. Use to be able to see all the wsl now there nothing or very little ### 1/5 — No women’s league. *2025-01-26, version 2.0.8* Not much to view now no WSL. Can watch FA Cup on TV. ### 1/5 — Super league *2024-09-21, version 2.0.8* Last season all super league games were shown now this has been taken away not everyone one watches men’s football this is extremely poor by the fa player therefore not really a good app to download no real features ### 1/5 — Outrageous *2024-09-21, version 2.0.8* I opened this app to watch the new wsl season only to find it wasn’t available. I went into the App Store and it said they have removed coverage of the wsl. Now, I can’t find anywhere to watch the wsl and I am highly disappointed. Should have a recommendation of where to watch the wsl. ### 1/5 — Who designed this app?! *2024-09-09, version 2.0.8* What a nightmare trying to login. Gave up in the end. 😡 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-05-18, version 2.0.6* Awful app - so so buggy and doesn’t load games properly. Signed in to view Arsenal women and it just kept taking me to the login page, even though I could see the ‘my account’ section. Even after closing the app and trying to log back in, no joy - I’d give zero stars if I could. Supposed to be helping to grow the women’s game, yet the app where you can view the games is about as effective as a chocolate fire guard. ### 1/5 — Just does not work *2024-05-05, version 2.0.6* They want people to watch women’s football but clearly not invested enough in the server or system poor ### 1/5 — Deserve better *2024-05-05, version 2.0.6* Terrible app. Crashes all the time. Can’t watch a game anymore without the app crashing. Missed the entire second half of Man utd vs Liverpool because the app went down. Women’s football deserves better. ### 1/5 — Wonderful when it works! *2024-05-05, version 2.0.6* Very frustrating when you want to watch the second half and it demands you log in, then the log in system doesn’t work! I am so frustrated having watched the first half without logging in. Surely the log in system should work on match days. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jockyboy *2024-09-21, version 2.0.8* Great app info good I don’t have any problems at 85 to watch games thanks ### 5/5 — Fa player *2024-04-21, version 2.0.6* For me it’s a brilliant app I’ve never had an issue with it thank you ### 5/5 — A nice little polite slightly dated app that works well *2023-11-16* Shaky start with registration but I've watched three games and it's lovely. Had to use screen mirroring from my iPad to my not so smart driving me bonkers Samsung TV and it worked really well, even better the third time when I worked out how best to do things, yep, A+++. Apple's App store review process also driving me bonkers, come back Steve Jobs. I gave this app 5 stars in that's not what is shown. ### 5/5 — Brighton *2023-10-01, version 2.0.5* I’m in Australia and I want to see the replays from last night ### 5/5 — Downloaded the App *2023-09-07, version 2.0.5* Hi from 🇨🇦what is the cost to watching games from England? Is it in pounds or dollars? Im really interested in watching the super league How does it work? Thanks🇨🇦 ### 5/5 — Great introduction *2023-04-30* Got into wsl couple of years ago due to the fact I was able to watch the whole game without getting bored fa player great way to watch the different games and am amazed how the games get more competitive each week good luck to them they deserve all their plaudits ### 5/5 — Life saver!!! *2023-03-19, version 2.0.2* I am SO thankful for the FA player. Living in Canada sometimes it’s the only option I have to watch my UK games! ### 5/5 — Address *2021-02-18* I have created an account so that I can watch all of the videos and replays but I had to put my address in to complete the sign up, which I wasn’t comfortable doing. How do I remove my address from my account? **Developer response:** Hi there, please could you send an email to thefaplayer@thefa.com. Our team is ready to help! Thanks, The FA Player Team ### 5/5 — Amazing App, The FA Player *2021-01-31, version 1.4.2* I moved from Australia to Switzerland and now discovered this great App, The FA Player” to watch female soccer at its best in the world.
