GoalCast is a year-round football companion for fans who follow club competitions: fixtures and scores, standings when available, pre-match score picks with on-device points, and a Home Screen widget for your favorite team. What you can do • Browse fixtures: kick-off times, stage, status, and scores. • Switch competitions in More—schedule and tables follow the active competition. • Pull to refresh over HTTPS; data may lag slightly versus live broadcasts. • View standings when the data source provides them; group-stage qualification hints appear only when relevant. • Set home/away score picks before kick-off; picks lock when the match starts. • After full time, earn entertainment points with transparent rules (see Picks → How it works). • Keep past competition picks in Picks → Archive when you switch competitions. • Optional local kick-off reminders and post-match settlement alerts. • Add a Home Screen widget for your team’s next match or live score (set a favorite team first). • Share pick cards and a prediction report via the system share sheet.

Notifications use system local notifications after you allow them. Important • Not affiliated with any league, federation, or tournament organizer. • Scores and tables come from a third-party sports data feed and may be delayed or incomplete. • Picks and points are for entertainment only—no gambling and no cash or equivalent prizes.
