National Women's Soccer League +4

Now that Go90 is gone90 (thank you, thank you) it’s great that the NWSL app has made replays available in-app for those of us who aren’t able to watch the games live. However, the feature is rendered useless because there is no way to start playing a video without having the game’s score spoiled for you. It’s literally right above the video. 🤬

Folks, I know soccer is about much more than the final score line, but knowing how the game turns out before I start seriously ruins the fun of watching. At the very least add a “no spoilers” setting I can turn on somewhere!

3 stars because I want to see this app succeed, but it’s near useless for me as it stands. 😠

The latest big update worsened usability and the removed the functions I most users. The update may look shinier but you can no longer view the horizontal timeline view of goals, cards, and subs and overall it’s harder to actually read the timing of in-game events. You can’t see the timestamps of subs on the lineup view either. And when I click into a specific game there’s no way to click backwards to the full schedule view to see other games again (I have to click all around the app to reset to the original schedule video). In general, I find the new layouts to be worse for navigating the information I want. It feels like the new design wants to look more visual and “mobile friendly” but at the cost of functioning the way I actually use the app.

All of that and now the required tracking, the update is a major downgrade that bums me out because I can no longer quickly follow gameplay the way I used to. It’s going to deter me from staying as up to date.

As an NWSL fan, would like nothing more than to have this app stay permanent on my iPhone. But the functionality is just not there, so have deleted it and will use other apps to get my NWSL content. The loading times for the content is very slow...you have to dig into the app to find basic information like TEAMS. You would think that would be one of the main buttons in the bottom global navigation bar. Once you find TEAMS and look at the roster, you would assume you would be able to click on a player to find bio information along with current and historical stats. You can’t even click on a player to find that information and worse...some players don’t even have a profile picture next to their names. In order for NWSL to grow, they have got to get the basics “right”. Not asking for too much as a fan right now...just give me: MATCH INFO / PLAYER NEWS / STANDINGS and I will be very happy. Let’s get to work, as the players are doing their part to play world class soccer and promote the game!
