### 5/5 — Kimberley Vivian

### 5/5 — Great source of info

*2026-08-04, version 5.0.8*

Overall I think the layout and the detail is amazing and I love how you can follow all the teams like the women’s and U21’s. Up to date highlights and even old ones, but my only concern about this is the ease of finding certain videos such as the play-off final. Collections would be a good improvement- I would love to see a road to Prague and an extended final highlight reel. I suggest paid subscription for game streams seeing as we are currently in the championship but the live score is handy for when you are out in restaurants and what not. Thank you 🙏

### 1/5 — No more free audio £5 a game! To listen !

*2026-07-22, version 5.0.8*

You can NO longer listen to the matches for free. Downloaded the app for my 8 year old, he’s not paying £5 a time to listen. 


Live doesn’t work since update. So can no longer listen to matches on screen lock , no sound at all while app is open.

### 5/5 — This hammer is very impressed

*2026-05-09, version 5.0.6*

This app is absolutely wonderful 😀I can’t find any widgets for it though.

So I am stuck using OneFootball favourite team widgets :(

This app actually works, but when you go to the shop, it is literally just a website window which is quite lazy…

⚒️ WEST HAM FOREVER ⚒️

### 3/5 — Videos

*2026-03-07, version 5.0.6*

Lately all videos show a runtime of zero minutes zero seconds and therefore don’t play.
Is something wrong?

### 4/5 — Great app but…

*2026-02-10*

I love everything about the app but I don’t like how I can’t listen to the radio stream and have the stream playing while I do other things on my phone or lock it up to put it in my pocket. I don’t know if it is just my iPhone 13 that does this but this is my only complaint.

### 1/5 — Live does not work since updated

*2026-02-07, version 5.0.6*

Live doesn’t work since update.

### 2/5 — It used to be decent…

*2026-01-06*

It used to be decent, then they fiddled with it and the “Listen Live” function no longer works properly. It’s like Brady & Sullivan have finished their work on the team and have decided to try their hand meddling with App.

### 1/5 — Please fix background audio

*2026-01-06, version 5.0.6*

The only thing I was using the app for was to listen to live games. Now I can’t do that, because the audio stops if my phone locks or I try to use another app. In other words, no background audio. So now I open the club website and just play the live audio stream for the game, and keep it on by keeping the tab open in the background. Works fine. No point in having the app now (for me personally).
