[Help Wanted] Test an Actually Useful PL Club App
Hi everyone!
TL;DR: myTeam is an app that is a better version of a Premier League club's official app - scores, news, transfer rumours, stats, highlights. It's in free beta now and I would love people to test it out and tell me what would make it worth using everyday. Try it: https://thisismy.team/beta/
I got fed up of using 3 different, bloated things to follow my team: SofaScore/FotMob to check the score and match details, X and Reddit to follow transfer and injury news, BBC/The Athletic for club news. SofaScore is brill but costs £35/year to remove betting ads and "load faster" (yes, that's a real paid feature).
And most won't give you a quick way to see what channel the game is on, or injuries, or meaningful transfer rumours. I'm happy to keep using a dedicated scores app and Reddit to see what else is going on in football but what I wanted was...
An Actually Useful Club App
Everything about the club you might want to know. Open the app and you immediately get:
- Next fixture details, whether it's on TV, how many points to European places
- Morning and evening digests and the latest club-specific headlines (tap to read bite-sized articles)
- Injuries and suspensions (tap to see details)
- Lat 6 Form (tap to see results and season comparison)
- Competition status (tap to see next fixture)
There's also an X/Twitter feed that has club-related tweets from the tier 1 transfer journalists. So if Ornstein or Fabrizio Romano says that new signing is on his way, you'll hear about it first either in this sub or in the app (plus you get to avoid SO MUCH clickbait on X).
Also, if you enjoy the odd stat but aren't bothered about actually digging into them, there's player and team insights on every screen. Plus there's player radars and team scatterplots so you can see how your breakout player this season compares to the league, or even across the top 5 leagues for his position.
It's not trying to replace The Athletic for journalism or FotMob for deep stats or coverage. myTeam is a single place for any question about the club and some useful extras without the usual messy hunting. And I'll gladly implement features: this week I've added possible table positions to pre-match previews, and links to YouTube highlights in post-match screens.
My ask:
Just some of your time. I think some of you will actually find this app really useful, so I hope you'll give it a try. It's in free beta and I would love people to tell me what's missing and what would make it worth keeping.
Brutally honest feedback is welcome. Download: https://thisismy.team/beta/
Cheers!
