User Reviews

Users appreciate that The FA Player provides free access to women's football matches and related content, including the ability to watch abroad. However, the app suffers from frequent bugs such as freezing, crashes, and repeated sign-in issues. Casting to Chromecast or TVs is frequently broken, limiting viewing options. Basic video controls are missing, and account creation can be frustrating. Despite these problems, users value the app's free access to women's football and hope for improved functionality in future updates.

Pros

Provides free access to women's football matches, including the Women's Super League and Women's Championship.
Includes additional content like highlights, interviews, and full match replays.
Allows users to watch matches from outside the UK.
Improvement in app content and availability over time.

Cons

Frequent technical issues such as freezing, crashing, and lagging during matches and app navigation.
Sign-in problems: the app often does not remember login details and requires repeated sign-ins.
Chromecast and casting functionality is broken or unreliable, causing app crashes or failure to stream on external devices.
Restrictive video player features: lacks basic controls such as full-screen toggle without device rotation and the ability to rewind or fast-forward.
Account creation is complicated, sometimes requiring completion via a PC browser instead of the app.

Recent reviews

Commentary and picture are not lined up and I can hear the comments of whoever is sitting beside the commentator. As a result I've had to turn the sound off which is a shame because the way the players names are mispronounced in so many different ways is always entertaining, even if it is unprofessional.

Can't even log in or create an account on the app, always says the password is incorrect or doesn't have one of the following even though I have very clearly typed out one of the following. Seeing the other reviews also says that this app is just horribly coded by the looks of it, too many bugs.
