Manchester United Official App 4+

First impression, I have to say they did a great job. Everything seems very smooth and I don’t feel like I have to go digging to find the things that I want. Player profiles are a great touch and I’m finding myself reading up on things I normally wouldn’t since it’s all right here.

The app is ‘clean’. First day using it and I’m enjoying it so far. If they could make a deal to show first team matches on it, it would be absolutely perfect!

Overall, I’d rate the content at 4 stars, but the app itself at 1 star. Weird issues and bugs persist across multiple versions, including not respecting orientation of the device after a video ends (e.g. the whole UI flips to portrait even if your device is in landscape). This is frustrating, since 90% of the time I use my iPad in landscape orientation.

Most annoyingly of all, there’s a timeline of recent posts, which automatically scrolls to the next post after a certain period of time (similar to Instagram Stories). It’s supposed to stop auto-scrolling if you interact with the post, but there’s a bug which makes it immediately advance to the next post when a video starts. So in order to watch the video, you end up having to go back and race the app to try and expand the video to full screen in the fraction of a second before it scrolls to the next post! Please fix it!

The upgrade is a step backward, the graphics n more in-depth with team is ok but the app doesn’t give you that connection dat it use to. 1st of all the streaming is removed, so you can’t fallow the game again if you not home and I tune to your tv (which is mostly the case for me). 2nd of all you usually could go to videos and have a catalogue of videos to chose from, simple picking the highlight you more interested in with more ease. In this new app dat is a lil tedious as you now have to just scroll n scroll and still might not see the game dat played two weeks ago that you just in love with how United was in total control n destroy full. I thought the upgrade was gonna be more upgrading the radio streaming to video streaming. Instead streaming was totally removed... nobody have time to follow the game by gluing to the screen watching the games tru words!!!
