For years this was my go to sports app. I can understand putting Murray Kinsella's superb analysis behind a pay wall. If it was €20 or €30 for the year I would more than likely have paid it, but straight in at €60 seems quite excessive. I would have put up with this, but now 90% of articles seem to be behind the pay wall, rendering the app useless. Unfortunately after many years, I have deleted the app.

Really liked the app before but think their handling of rolling out a paywall has been poor. I've no problem paying for good content but I don't read 90% of the articles. A more basic package of €20/year where I can get 10 articles a week, only have certain sports, etc would be much more preferable. Anyway, moved off my home screen in favour of other sports news apps for now.

Once my fav go to sports app. Had a lot that interested me, football and rugby, and even more that didn't, GAA, American football and Golf, then the greed kicked in, the paywall went right in, way too expensive, considering the pace breaking news happens on the likes of twitter for free it is unjustifiable. Murray Kinsella had excellent special features but not worth anywhere near the fee I'm afraid. Shame really,

No fixture times or results with the new design which was my favourite features. And aside from Murray Kinsella, who is now locked behind a paid subscription, the quality of the writing is subpar with lots of puff pieces to drive clicks. Very slow at times too to report. I uninstalled it before but gave it a second chance after they restored some of the features mentioned above but they're gone again and with the constant push to subscribe and poor reporting I can't see myself coming back again.

Very glitchy. Every single article appears behind a pay wall, despite logging in? No score centre. Live feed of games, have to scroll way down to hopefully find something resembling the score. Good potential but terrible, terrible execution. You think with asking people to pay things would improve. Don't waste your time.

Good source of sports news for many years but not worth the subscription. They don't offer anything that can't be gotten free elsewhere. App removed
