See ya ### 1/5 — Greed got the better of them. *2023-06-28* It was my go too , but like so many other pod casts a media forums that started free it’s now behind a wall of greed. Sad to see ye go. ### 1/5 — Too greedy *2023-06-26* Too greedy ### 1/5 — Charging to use the App *2023-06-11* Bye bye ### 1/5 — No longer usable *2023-06-08* The articles are no longer readable without a subscription so removing. Unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Disgrace *2023-06-05* Looking for money to read the articles disgrace ### 1/5 — Forced to log in *2023-05-27* Not sure why a sports news app forces you create an account to use the app. ### 1/5 — The42 no comment *2023-04-27* Keeps asking for full name to comment but does nothing. ### 4/5 — Westmeath man *2021-07-05* Love the latesr news from home to Australia ### 1/5 — No live scores *2020-09-19* No live scores?? ### 1/5 — Awesome sports news *2018-12-15* Sincere congratulations are in order for great sports news that keeps all of us genuine & sincere sports fans so well updated with all the latest sports news, regardless of what your interested in.

Sincerely Peter Bishop ### 4/5 — Eugene reid *2018-03-17* Very good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No UX consideration, not worth the price *2024-06-29* Long term user and have been paying the subscription and keep getting modal pop-ups to subscribe, don’t get value for money with no difference to the free version in terms of content and now the app is crashing every time I try to open it. Have cancelled the subscription and deleted the app, very disappointing ### 1/5 — Should be free with ad’s *2024-04-13* Loved the 42 app when it was free. Don’t look at half as much now that u have to subscribe and pay to use it….. bring back the free articles, don’t mind looking at the ads to get this app free ### 1/5 — Charging for the app now is ridiculous *2024-01-18* This is a dying app after they start charge us for news. I will never be using this app again ### 1/5 — Subscribe *2023-12-07* Subscribe adds popping up relentlessly ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for *2023-10-13* Used to be just fine when it was free but it’s now another monthly subscription I could do without so no thanks ### 1/5 — Paddy *2023-09-10* Nonsense it either a paid App or free Stop been a teaser I don’t mind paying for certain articles So I’m on the point of clicking Delete App ### 1/5 — To expensive *2023-08-28* To much money for what you get ### 1/5 — WAY too expensive!!! *2023-08-25* Daft Media, if you’re asking people to pay a huge £60 subscription fee for an Irish sports app during a cost of living crisis, you’re looking in the wrong mirror. £4.99 would be more realistic. ### 1/5 — Greedy. *2023-08-15* Can’t believe we are asked to pay to read the news. Buying a paper is much cheaper, you lost me too. 👋 ### 1/5 — £7.99 a month get a grip *2023-07-26* La la land ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Deal. *2024-11-01* What’s the best deal on a sub?
