The Official FIFA App Reviews

First, the program is named FIFA WORLD CUP 2018, but after launching TheOfficialFIFAApp you must look for the World Cup matches and standings - they are hidden behind other pages. First you must discover one needs to choose the “more” option, in the bottom menu, for then being able to choose the FIFA World Cup games in yet another menu. Looks like the program named after the World Cup places the games itself in second or third pane. Now, you are at the Games, you choose Matches on the third menu that now appears at the top (so far, to reach the games, you go to bottom menu - ‘more’ - then, choose, World Cup, on list menu that appears, and finally the third menu which appears on top of screen. They could not have placed the matches on the homepage of TheOfficialFIFAApp ...!?!). Now, once you click on the matches, the upper portion of the page (just some blue background coloring, good for nothing) keeps dropping down, covering the matches. So, you slide the upper blue section up, but it keeps on dropping down. Very annoying. Next, you click on Standings (top menu), but as you slide the menu left to reach Standings the menus also keep sliding back the other way... not the friendliest App to navigate. Very stubborn too.

I use TheOfficialFIFAApp to watch the brackets and get match times. Only problem is, sometimes the match times are shown in my time zone, sometimes they aren’t with no way to know the which time zone it is. For instance, currently in TheOfficialFIFAApp it shows the match time for the Women’s final USA vs Netherlands as 8:00. There is no time zone info or AM or PM, just 8:00. I just now found out that the game time for me is actually 11:00 AM PST. At times TheOfficialFIFAApp has shown the match time in PST, which is my time zone, but other times it is ET. But I never know which it is because there is no time zone info presented with the time. A simple solution would be to add the time zone to the time shown, e.g. 8:00 AM ET, or 11:00 AM PST, because simply showing 8:00 is not enough information. I can figure out the time zone difference myself if needed, but in order to do that I need the time zone that matches the time to be shown as well.

Other than that, I love TheOfficialFIFAApp .

The only time I have ever seen scores for a women’s game was during the World Cup. As a huge fan of the women’s game this is very disappointing. Even big tournaments like the euro qualifiers that in the men’s game receive a lot of fanfare are not featured. As a whole, FIFA says that they are promoting the and growing the women’s game, and yet they don’t even feature the biggest, highest profile club teams. TheOfficialFIFAApp does include rankings for the women’s international teams, but it is updated much less than the men’s rankings. There are also a few news stories about women, and while they are nice they are solely related to the World Cup.
In conclusion: if you area fan of the women’s game extending beyond just the World Cup once every four years, you will not be satisfied with the amount of content your favorite team receives (chances are it’s none). And if you think that women deserve equal pay, well this is an example of how little respect they have from a huge association like this that sets the pace for others to follow.

TheOfficialFIFAApp had always been good not great but it used to get the job done! Now with this update that’s all over. At this point it’s just easier to google search games, scores and tables! TheOfficialFIFAApp is glitchy, super hard to navigate. You lose all and any saved data and info with every update. If a team scores an own goal it just doesn’t show up in the goals info. It’s literally just blank and you have to try and hunt it down by scrolling through the live updates. You can only see half of the table at a time (not just too half bottom half, that would be fine) the teams and positions on one half then you have to scroll over to see the points and goal differential. Making it really hard to find out which team has which amount of points. Whoever comes up with the designs for the updates should’ve been removed from their job a long time ago. Garbage!

SAUDI ARABIA AL-HILAL fans we lost 6 points and lost the champions cup that because saudi federation allow to register amateur players at the period is not legal to register in FIFA rules. we want our right we did many campaigns to let you see the Injustice and corruption has been in saudi federation. Also there are many officials has left their jobs because they are afraid to get problem you can check our recent decisions. Also the Saudi federation receive many protests but Saudi federation always refuses the protests and the management of Al Hilal Club has provided you with an inquiry about the validity of registration of the amateur player outside the allowed period and your reply was illegal to register amateur players outside allowed period.
We wish to look in this issue and Intervention to resolve.

SAUDI FEDERATION VIOLATE FIFA RULES

TheOfficialFIFAApp is going downhill with every update! TheOfficialFIFAApp use to be excellent before 2017. Ever since they have horrible updates and have horrible management. For example right now the international games are not being updated score-by-score. The user interface keeps getting more confusing rather than easier to manipulate. Also some buttons don't work and some features no longer exist. TheOfficialFIFAApp needs better management by a long shot and if this crap continues, I wouldn't doubt that "the score" will surpass this horrible, ugly, hideous, useless, pathetic excuse for an app that is "supposed to be" the central hub for all soccer and all soccer information, especially since this source receives everything first hand before any other news source or platform.

The last update TheOfficialFIFAApp had was very smooth and ran good, no problems whatsoever. I don’t understand why TheOfficialFIFAApp needed a change. This new update is so laggy and it takes a while to register when I click on match center and check on the scores. It also takes a long time to load the lineups of my favorite teams. Please fix TheOfficialFIFAApp, it’s not a bad app but my god this lag makes TheOfficialFIFAApp unusable sometimes and I just look up the scores on google.

I’ve been using TheOfficialFIFAApp to stay on track with scores and player stats. I’ve had it since it was released on iOS. The 1 and only issue I’ve had is that ever since the latest update, every time I click on favorites it closes TheOfficialFIFAApp on its own. Not sure what the issue is there but I didn’t have it before. I delete TheOfficialFIFAApp and re-download it and it still has that problem occur. I’d appreciate it if you guys can fix it, other then that it’s a great app!

TheOfficialFIFAApp is good enough to tell you what is happening in the main World Cup. Even if it takes me to safari all the time too look at all the stuff I want to look at that has any info to the World Cup. It is in Russia and I don’t live there so I really didn’t go to it. But in the fan club they had tickets before it even started itself though. But I do always like it when world cups happen. Every 4 years there is a World Cup.

TheOfficialFIFAApp is great in the amount and variety of content: lives scores, commentary, videos, stats, player information, stories, news and much more. However, a few things need fixing for a better user experience - prevent live auto refresh from taking user to love scores when looking at standings or scores from previous phase (TheOfficialFIFAApp shouldn’t take me out of wherever I’m navigating.) Also, I have to restart TheOfficialFIFAApp sometimes because the graphical interface locks up.

Updates are supposed to improve an app. This latest update is terrible!! Lost all the favorites I had and now I have to start all over again picking team by team, and favorite tournaments by Weiting The whole name! I doesn’t predict while you type. And it doesn’t even group them by “countries”, “clubs” or “Tournaments”. Before, you would look by country and it showed all the teams (nationals and clubs). If you press a flag, you cannot add that country or club to your favorites. The old version was a much, much better user friendly

I’ve found that majority of the news and scores only pertain to the men’s games. I like to follow women’s football as well, and yet it is so difficult to find any scores or news relating to games or players unless you explicitly look for them (and even then it’s unavailable). I would like more features regarding women’s football in TheOfficialFIFAApp , and the ability to follow the scores during women’s games as it occurs - just like how it’s available for the men’s games.

Please undo the recent update, where the whole was changed. This new version makes following tournaments and games harder, and you can tap on any teams to find out their recent matches or anything.
The previous version was so much better.

I’m following the Women’s World Cup and would love to use TheOfficialFIFAApp to see the schedule, check out teams and such. But, I am completely avoiding opening TheOfficialFIFAApp so I don’t learn the score before getting home to watch the games. Why not have a setting to hide scores until I ask to see them? Frustrating. Also, more control over notifications would be great, again for avoiding spoilers.

I don’t understand TheOfficialFIFAApp. I have favorite teams and competitions but they don’t show in Favorites. When reading something on TheOfficialFIFAApp , and there are photos of that match in the article, swiping between these photos is a major pain. I also don’t like that when you read an article from two weeks ago and you exit the article, TheOfficialFIFAApp takes you back to the top instead of where you left off. It’s really dumb.

Overall, this is a great app, very intuitive in its layout and progresses logically and linearly.

However the player profiles don’t give information about the players beyond (sometimes) the league that they play in at home. No team names, minimal league stats and sometimes the league is not even mentioned.

First weird thing is when opening TheOfficialFIFAApp it auto disconnects my AirPods and plays my music out loud. Second missing links/predictions on the match overview: wanting to know stats on who is supposed to win/what analysts are saying.

I don’t usually write reviews, but the latest version of TheOfficialFIFAApp is horrible. All of my settings and favorites have been lost, certain leagues I was following are no longer there, and there are multiple UI bugs. Most importantly, TheOfficialFIFAApp has become much less informative-you can’t quickly access the games of a certain team nor are you able to view team rosters. Very disappointed.

I loved the FIFA app for its simplicity and easy to use/understand. Now I hate that its over complicated to understand and not friendly to use. I used to be able to look for future games so easily but this new update either removed the feature or is very well hidden. No one asked for a redesign but this is what we got 😒. Very disappointed.

The favorites were not transferred so all favorites have to be resubmitted.
Menus won’t allow the user to go to individual team pages in the Champions League games for example.
Favorites can be impossible to select because unfriendly menus.
All around much more unfriendly support from TheOfficialFIFAApp that was already not totally working properly before the update.

It’s great to have TheOfficialFIFAApp to check a quick score or get the notifications to keep me updated on current games of my favorite clubs, but I mostly use TheOfficialFIFAApp to check standings. I feel like the EPL is the only spot I find true standings of a league, all other leagues I follow just show the recent matches played and the score. There’s no spot to view league points that every league has!

I think it also be convenient to have the option for notifications on leagues you follow even if it just shows final score for your “non favorite teams.”

Maybe add a widget for a quick few of favorite teams and their upcoming games?

When you go to a team and you go to lineups all you see is players scrambled in different orders they should be in their lineups

This season it give the results of matches second by second as I noticed! Thanks for your great and intelligence sharing. I was watching between Spain and Portugal I received goal notifications by seconds.

I have been greatly disappointed by the inconsistency with TheOfficialFIFAApp. I am an American visiting France for the World Cup and have been using TheOfficialFIFAApp to stay updated. Unfortunately TheOfficialFIFAApp cut out during the Norway/Australia game 😣.
Plus it does not provide any live visual coverage which is very disappointing considering how much FIFA is profiting from the Women’s World Cup. Not like they pay the players their fair share 🤬

FIFA one of the best great organized ans professional app, give you all what you need times and updated scores and information, but need more to develop.

How dare fifa only double women’s salaries ? 23 million people watched last years final. This year men did not even qualify for cup. Women DERSERVE SAME $ as men. You are to greasy for me- never watch a men’s match again. I middle aged MALE( big fat old men)

Lacking bracket picture, please use them.
