### 5/5 — Kimberly Vivian

*2026-02-08, version 5.2*

Kimberley Vivian

### 4/5 — Satisfied

*2025-12-30, version 5.2*

A good look for something gives us information of the type of player we are looking for, but we have to read between the lines on the accuracy of the reporting, but keep it up

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-09-23, version 5.2*

Keeps asking me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot

### 3/5 — Too slow to upload

*2023-04-28*

It takes a long time to upload from one story to another especially if they are from YouTube and most of the time it freezes all this is on the iPad version. Hope something get done about it cause it’s very frustrating. Thank you

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-09-14, version 5.2*

Shocking app. Announced kickoff had taken place for the postponed Newcastle game. Always announces kickoff at the scheduled time not when kickoff happens. 

Always sends push alerts announcing a penalty scored even when it’s saved.

Lazy programming. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2022-05-19, version 5.0*

This was a great app but since the last update 2 days stopped working

### 5/5 — NEW UPDATE HAS MADE THIS THE BEST WEST HAM APP

*2019-07-10, version 4.3*

This has always been the best app for linking you to all West Ham news. Anything from sky sports news to a
Facebook fan pages, it keeps you ahead of the game with all the very latest news and gossip.
Up until July 2019, the ads were making it impossible to navigate past and meant that you couldn’t read a full article. However, after commenting on this to the creators of the app, they have acted immediately otherwise an update, which has removed all of the over imposing advertisements. The app isn’t making money from those adverts, but was still picking them up via the original source.
Anyway they have sorted it and the app is free, so this is a no brainer app for irons fans ⚒

### 5/5 — Ads

*2018-05-25, version 3.1*

Far too many adds it drives me nuts

### 3/5 — Bloody adverts urghhhhh

*2018-01-15, version 3.0*

Anything West Ham is good ... I use this mainly for fixtures but the ads are sooooo annoying 👎😤

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2017-09-06, version 3.0*

Whilst this is a decent app the pop up adverts are so frustrating when your trying to read a story and find yourself coming out of the app too often to get away from the adverts.
