Having this readily available is great for my rec league coaches to show them why I make the calls I do. My only complaint is that the menu that lets me actually select the laws takes too much effort. This is the book of laws and should be the first thing you have access to. Right now you have to select read all at the question and then select the menu from the bottom corner. Other than that I make sure all my refs have this available.

Quirky Search features

Very handy app. My only complaint is that the search feature is quirky. When I type a word in the search box and select "done" often the screen is just blank. It is unclear if it is actively searching or it there were no results found. Then when I tap on the search box again to maybe go search for another word, oddly the results I was waiting for then appears. Or say it actually does say "no results found" from a prior search, it will hold on to that when I then search for a word I know is in there. It will keep saying "no results found" until I redo the new search several times over and over and it will finally yield results.

Just updated to the latest version (2.0.0) and it crashes immediately after I tap the app icon, every time I try to open the app.Earlier versions were great though, and given there’s not a lot of live soccer happening right now the timing for this issue is about as good as a bug of this seriousness can be.

Very good app

Shout out to the developers on this well made app. It’s clean and it functions well. If I were to make one suggestion, it’s that they change the name of the app. “Laws of the Game” looks all scrunched up on my home screen, just a small pet peeve. Maybe name it something like IFAB, short and sweet.
