Chelsea FC - The 5th Stand Reviews

by Vahid Tyau

I like the content and general layout of ChelseaFC , although it does look/feel a little clunky. My biggest issue is with how the chat is implemented — the scrolling to look through recent messages keeps bouncing making for a very unpleasant viewing experience. And when you scroll back down the new messages (since starting to scroll back) just fly in, instead of already being preloaded into the viewing area while you were scrolling back. Look to Discord or other chat apps with how they deal with thousands of users commenting and how well their viewing and scrolling through works, even while hundreds of new messages come through.

Love just about everything about ChelseaFC, except for the fact that Chelsea Megastore is on it. I’ve had so many issues being charged for orders that apparently weren’t even placed so that leaves a salty taste in my mouth. Every other part of it is wonderful, but you guys need to have a different shopping option on there that doesn’t steal people’s money.

ChelseaFC is wonderful in some aspect but as it is called a Chelsea app, we would love it if you really show us the live streaming of the match we can’t just be listening to audio of matches without seeing what is happening I think that should be amended so as to help people who don’t have other places to watch the match. Watching the live match on Chelsea app will also be great please make amendments! Thanks 😊💙

Update: up to 5 stars now. Not much more you could ask for, except releasing a real tablet version for iOS. Surprised Apple still allows developers to write apps like this, iPhone only screen format. Especially considering for a football match you want to watch on an iPad screen or larger. 2 stars. If you consider there’s no Apple TV app I would say it’s 1 star for format. Really poor. However. Great free content, excellent. 4 stars. 5 to 6 stars for content if you let users stream live matches or at least all of previous seasons’ matches for a subscription fee. I’d pay more than my Netflix and NBA subscription combined to be able to stream live and / or previous chelsea games on Apple TV and my iPad, on demand. Exactly like I can with the NBA app.

It’s a great place to get news and interact with fellow Blues fans. I love the replay of the class matches, especially during these difficult coronavirus pandemic stay-at-home times. The only thing that in my opinion will improve the apps is making photos friendly to mobile device users, who I believe are the majority of users. It’s very frustrating to see a wonderful picture but you can’t expand it beyond one third of your small mobile phone screen. Just allow us to click on photos to fill the scree. Otherwise, great app. KTBFFH 💙💙💙💙💙

Has a great interface and is informative of Chelsea related news and live match updates. However, i do not see a streaming tab or option to watch matches (live matches or pre-recorded) via this application. Will there be in the future a streaming tab that users can subscribe to watch the games on a mobile device? I know I’d sign up and pay monthly to watch the blues play!

I use ChelseaFC far more than most others because it’s fun and gives timely insights on the team. The writing and images are quite good as snippets, well suited to the phone format. Only disappointment is having the on screen controls for closing or leaving ChelseaFC mysteriously disappear from nav, leaving no option but to restart my phone. Fix that and this’ll be a five five star review.

The Chelsea app is a very great app and is to the standard of what you would expect from a top club.

ChelseaFC hardly misses when it comes to the media side of ChelseaFC . Highlights, training, live press conferences etc. always there. Could be improved by more behind the scenes videos from around the club like in the past.

The Play Predictor game is good as well, something else like that on ChelseaFC would be a good addition .

by Goozmonster

I love that you provide the live audio commentary, especially for the midweek games. Since I’m in the US I like to listen live at work and then watch the recorded game when I get home.

I also like having a quick reliable way to find out start times and to review previous results.

Yeah. You heard it here first. Although it’s common knowledge, you heard it here first. Chelsea FC. I love you Chelsea FC. Biggest club ever. In Super Frank we trust. Roman Abromovich? Marina Granovskaia? I love them. More so Marina because she’s beautiful and so great at business deals. Thiago Silva on a free? Marina the Great. Can’t say enough about how much I love this club. I buy free trials and cancel them after every UCL match. I can’t not watch Chelsea. Blue is in my blood. I want to work for Chelsea FC. Get me on board. No ones got better things to say about Chelsea FC than me. I watch match highlights even after I watch the match live. I’m dedicated to my club. My girlfriend threatens to leave me over my obsession with this club. Whatever. In Roman we trust.

Chelsea is the best in so many ways. ChelseaFC is one of them. I have loved using it since day one. I feel more connected to what is going on. I love the news, video content is fantastic, match centre and play predictor are so fun. ChelseaFC keeps me interacting and in the know. If you are a Chelsea fan or an aspiring one, it’s a must have.

ChelseaFC has everything! It has great photos of the players . There are videos of the players explaining there childhood and videos of there training. It shows the matches and who and when they play. And you can even predict who will win for free and if you get the most points then you can get cool prizes or coupons for jerseys, tickets, and more. And my favorite is you don’t have to go on another website to get Chelsea merchandise because it is in their under the shop icon. I have bought over 4 or 5 things using ChelseaFC including the last season third kit, this season 180 air max jersey, and more. You can design your name to the back of the jersey. Honestly, I love Chelsea but I recommend getting ChelseaFC if you even like soccer it can teach you ball work and all different tutorials and behind the scenes to some awesome things.

Love ChelseaFC because i can see all the quizzes, videos and news in one place! It is well organized and comprehensive with plenty of options for entertainment and match info. Probably the only change I would make would be to include more in the “classic matches” section. It’s definitely worth a download though. Chelsea foreverrrrrrr!!!

As a big blues fan in America, I struggled to find a good website or app for Chelsea but then I found the 5th stand! It is a great app with all coverage of men’s, women’s, and academy teams for Chelsea. Their is a comment section, but no expletives or images. I love talking with my Blues family! The articles are great and I also listen to the free audio coverage of all the games. The 5th stand keeps me connected with my favorites!

I absolutely love ChelseaFC. As fan from Fenton Michigan, USA I am able to follow everything about the Chelsea Football Club. We watch premier league games on NBC Sports and the Peacock app but we do not get the FA cup, League cup, champions league or Europa league games. Being able to listen to these game is a blessing and thank you so much for making them available to us. Pre match and game commentary are amazing. Love ChelseaFC.

I completely love ChelseaFC . I’ve been a Chelsea FC supporter since 1995 and back then in the states we did not receive information such as this. Now I can receive more news and information then I can consume.
I’ve installed and removed ChelseaFC a few times to stop the crashing. I just wish I can use it without connecting to my WiFi.
I absolutely love ChelseaFC Until it crashes again.

One of the first things I do each morning (after reading Jesus Calling and the Biblical references) is open the 5th stand app. I read the feature articles and check the videos before opening the Chelsea FC web site. Most often interesting articles and interviews along with some excellent videos! As much as I admired Frank Lampard and the Job he did as Chelsea Manager I’m amazed at what Thomas Tuchel has accomplished since he has become Manager.
GO BLUES !!!

I really love ChelseaFC. It keeps me informed as to what’s going on with my favorite team, the European Champions Chelsea FC. ⚽️🏆 I find myself checking ChelseaFC daily , sometimes multiple times a day just so I don’t miss anything. I also listen to the games on ChelseaFC when I can’t watch them on tv. I love the honest commentary by our commentators. Living on the east coast of the USA has me 5 hours behind London, so ChelseaFC catches me up and keeps me informed on the happenings of my favorite team .💙CHELSEA FC💙
GO BLUES.

I’ve been an avid Chelsea fan for 52 yrs or thereabouts. We’ve been through some tough times during that spell—as you all know! My dad use to tell me when growing up “the longer you wait the better it taste” which is very appropriate looking back.
I was born in Norwich (and no I’m not a canarie fan) but raised in Manchester. Going to watch the blues play at Old Trafford wasn’t easy back then with hooliganism in the stands. Obviously wearing a blue scarf was totally out of the question. Eventually I moved to London where I got to see the blues on a more regular basis—which was brilliant. Sadly I live in NY now so it’s not easy to watch I live game, but when I return to the UK I’ll watch a game or two…
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to find ChelseaFC, hmmm. Not the quickest guy on the block it appears:-) Anyway I’m very happy I did….ktf

I’ve been a Chelsea FC Fan since I was a boy! Always loved them and I thought I would download their app so that I can take Chelsea with me everywhere I go. You know what? It was one of the best decisions of my life, I think the only decisions that benefit me more than downloading the 5th Stand was getting married to my wife and going to college. Chelsea FC is really the best club in the world and anyone who argues with that has more than a few screws loose in their head. Thanks Chelsea for creating such a bombastic app! Come on you blues!!!

by Richie1129

I don’t just know why update is too much than this application and yet nothing to update in the application because have updated this same application now for more than 4 to 5 times since have get it and not that long yet nothing changed in the application 😡😡😡

by El Boominator

ChelseaFC is just so poorly designed. There is no menu. There is no search function. If I want to review the squad, I have to search “Chelsea First Team” on google because there is no discernible method for navigating to that information on ChelseaFC , even though I know it’s there.
Why?
What is the purpose behind creating an app with no menu and no search function?

by FullScore

Why no Landscape Mode? I don’t want to watch a postage stamp.
Why no video of the entire Bohemians game?
Why the emphasis on visuals and short clips?
Why such poorly written, kindergarten-like prose?
Add in the atrocious implementation of the first live stream of the post ChelseaTV era and we have an unmitigated disaster.
Why was subscribing restricted to only two hours before kick off? Overloaded servers was always a likely outcome.
Why different subscription models for the web and ChelseaFC ? Those of us overseas have been locked out of most of the pre-season due to time zone differences and the need to buy all games on the web, even though only three are available ex-UK.
Why no repeats online of the full games WITHOUT spoilers?

Chelsea FC have made an abysmal start to their online re-launch.

by Saadaq Hassan

ChelseaFC is great and everything but after 2 seconds while watching a video it vanishes and I can only hear the sound, it goes black. I also hope you can make ChelseaFC a little bit more faster. Other than that I love it, but it needs improvement.

by Curtis R. Shideler

I am enjoying ChelseaFC except for the fact that every time I tap a notification ChelseaFC opens to the home screen instead of taking me to the specific article mentioned in the notification. So then I have to search through the recent news to find it. Please open ChelseaFC to the specific article that is mentioned in the notifications. That would be more appropriate.

by Nsl 2772

I love ChelseaFC but it’s time you made it iPad compatible so that the iPad can view ChelseaFC in full screen mode not iPhone screen size.. I look forward to your latest update in iPad full screen mode.

by Coco181638393

It’s a good app has everything needed but it won’t let me login, I’ve changed my password multiple times and it still says wrong password.

by Seunisking

ChelseaFC is an epitome of beauty .. but every time I get a notification and I click on it , it opens ChelseaFC and closes it Back .. every time and it’s really sad .
Secondly you guys should work on your Streaming

by Squint006

What a great app this has morphed into. The fact that I could listen to the audio because the 24 Jan Caribou Cup match wasn’t part of my USA television that was incredible! I was able to listen while at work - thank you!

by Zahid A

Hi admin
How can we integrate supporters club update on the mobile app ?
There is option to follow nearest supporters club.
I have selected Bangladesh Supporters club.
But click on Post Tab, they showing nothing in there and ask to check later.

by Setoe

Grateful to be able to listen to the match when I can’t stream it.

by Jack's Mum

Thank you! When I can’t watch the match because it isn’t being shown on the Telly ChelseaFC lets me feel and hear the match! THANK YOU!!!!

by Bangbang Juice

if this club fires Sarri I will lose all respect for roman and grow to despise the board even more, it’s far too soon to bring in lamps please don’t lose the plot.
