Premier League - Official App

I have used this app for years to keep up with scores and the fantasy game. App worked well until this year. Scores don’t update, the UI is full of glitches and strange behavior. Player and team scores from the previous day are still not accurate while the website is completely accurate. I am an app developer and I would never release a product with these many issues OR I would be fixing them much faster than the app team is here. I’m sure they are working hard but this is all very disappointing and suggests that the IT strategy is not well developed or poorly executed.

This game is great and it has good options like the draft, classic and head to head only problem is this game favors attackers way too much. Defenders have way to many stats not included in the point system that should be. Tackles, Ariel duels won, interceptions should be but are not included. Points should be attributed to those stats and having the majority of a defenders or defensive midfielders points coming from clean sheets is really idiotic seeing how very few of them barring Alexander Arnold, Robertson,Doherty and Digne consistently get points from forward positions. This needs to be addressed it make players more worth it and basically saying that defenders aren’t worth the time despite the fact the VVD is the best player in the league and Kante puts in more work than a whole team combined and very rarely gets above 3 points a game. A forward can play like crap for 89 minutes and gets a goal, still gets more points than Kante. Utterly ridiculous and stupid.

Great game to play with friends. But it takes three minutes to do a task that requires only 20 seconds at times. The transfer market sometimes doesn’t show any players available to be traded and the app has problems updating the scores of games around the country. The app also freezes a lot and requires me to constantly close and reopen it. It takes hours for the point system to tally points and sometimes it gives the wrong amount of points. Overall good game but it needs a lot of technical work.

ESPN doesn’t compare. They have the assists, which are just as important as goals. Photos of the players beside their names. Great attention also goes into the visuals and team colors. The news is valid and not click garbage. Suggestions for further improvement would be more statistics such as individual pass completions, dribbles, shots on goal and distance traveled. I am not a fan of the huge shots on goal graphic with the big square since it is such a simple thing that doesn’t need a graphic. Formations with the players photos would be great.

I didn’t grow up with soccer but when the kids started playing I started to love it too. They’re adults now but my love of the beautiful game has gotten stronger, in part due to this great app. I’ve built and managed a fantasy team for 7 years now and enjoy it each season. The app has great content for keeping up with news which I depend on since the US media don’t cover BPL. While my teams aren’t contenders, I’ve enjoyed following my stars across the different teams using this great app.
