U.S. Soccer – Official App 4+

Love the app and glad I now have somewhere to go for updates about the team and games. But the app definitely still needs some major work. Right now there is a notification problem that causes it to not disappear. There’s no way to get it off. And also wish we could choose which team we want to get notifications about. I really just want the Women’s notifications so it’s annoying when the men are playing and I have to get theirs too.

This app just pushes advertising and collecting data. So many new fans like me who want to learn about players, where they are from, how they arrived, read what inspired them.. their stories and see their stats and watch matches. I had to hunt around at first to just find the women’s players bios. I enjoyed reading about each player. Now I can’t find even the list of players. Poor navigation. The menu disappeared. All I see is the same advertising push when I come back for viewing a video. Please take me back to where I was previously. This scan thing does not work. Please don’t block all content forcing me to give email address, verify email, forcing to give location and keep pushing ticket sales when I can only watch the matches. Please just allow me to read about the players, follow my player and matches and stats on matches and players. Just keep all simple so a fan can read, follow and enjoy.

I don’t usually write reviews of apps, but this one is really frustrating. First, why would anyone assume I want an app to launch into loud music when I open it? That also seems to cause it to take a little too long to load. Second, not only does it not give me the information I am looking for such as a extensive schedule for all teams, it doesn’t seem to be professionally updated with game results and next matches like you would find in ESPN, for example. Third, I seem to always have an indication there is a notification but can’t figure out what it is and the indicator won’t go away. I will say one thing, I guess its shortcomings are accurately reflective of the entire U.S. Soccer operation.
