Alot of small issues with this game. Not always but quite often it will only allow me to make two substitutions in a continental cup competition. Also, as I play on a tablet, if I inadvertently lock the screen, when I reopen the tablet the touchscreen will be completely askew, meaning I will be trying to perform a task by pressing around the screen in completely the wrong area.

Best Footy Management
Jan 13, 2021

By Curtis R. Shideler

This is by far the best football/soccer management sim on a tablet. It’s not as deep as the full version, but it allows for a much quicker experience. It does still have bugs that I’ve documented, screenshot, and shared on the SI forums. Hopefully, they’ll get ironed out. Currently, the post match analytics aren’t fully working. No heat maps, color coded bar graphs, or ability to see selected analytic maps. It’s supposed to work, but doesn’t yet. Also, there is no way to view that detail on past matches from the fixture page. And finally, there is no visible way to view past match highlights like you can on the mobile and full version. Despite all of that, it’s still a joy to play and the match engine runs well on my old iPad Pro.

Live league table & final results don’t align

Great game, have been playing some version of this since Championship Manager came out in 96/97. Think this version of the the iPad choice is the best....only downfall and it is a major error.....many times when in game latest scores and table updates from AI games does not correspond with full-time results...example today Colchester 0-1 Accrington, this moved my Ipswich team into a play off spot, but when the final score arrived I was in 7th place....looking at Final Scores it was Colchester 3-0 Accrington....this is a fix that needs to occur ASAP.

Jan 6, 2021

By Mark the meister

The game is really enjoyable but the main factor that’s ruining my fun is that I get at least 1 penalty every single game. In the first game of the season I got 3 penalties, in the second game I got 2 penalties, in the third game of the season I got 3 penalties again and then in my fourth game of the season I just got another penalty. Winning this way isn’t fun. Please fix.

More depth from the previous version, quality of 3D match excellent as well. Would be a greater experience if players faces are visible for all clubs however i do understand the licensing reasons and etc. Only negative feedback i have is the high amount of disallowed goals due to offside, i can get at least 3 to 5 disallowed goals in one match. Now on my 5th season as Man United manager and have been the Manager of the year 3 times. Have brought back United to where it belongs . Loving the game.

I for one am really enjoying this, and despite the errors sometimes, i can easilly chalk it down to my phone. The resolution only impacts because of my choice to play on phone, and many misclicks occur. But that does not take away the fact that this is well made. I do think limiting to 3 countries is a bit of a blow, and other teams in the best aren't having their actual squads if you don't pick that league. It takes away from the experience in my opinion.

Very good. Most changes this year are made for pre-match and 3d graphics. For now runs very well and I'm very satisfied. Good job. Will be good to have possibility to monitor matches from different competitions, for example Champions league. There is a option to tick TV screen on a certain match, but in fact it is not possible to check the result right after the final whistle. Also will be good to have possibility for more available players for better devices. This is not slowing down the game

Samsung S7+ Tab The game is brilliant. However i have come across one issue. All goals that are presumably offside - VAR always showing them as offside. Some goals should stand. The crash issue has been sorted which is brilliant. Live scores seems to be resolved.

Game worked fine until a around 3-4 games away from the end of the second season and the game keeps crashing after the match ends an returning me to the main menu, when I reload the game it just replays the same exact match with the same result an then crashes an returns me to the main menu again . I would like this issue resolved or my money back as I put up with similar issues on fm 20 an am not putting up with it again

This is my first time writing a review on the AppStore. The game is just that buggy and flawed that I need to warn others about it before buying. They need to fix a lot of things soon. Can’t seem to enjoy playing this, it just ticks me off every time. Definitely don’t recommend this.

First time playing FM Touch and I got to say it is extremely frustrating. The calibration of touching an option is near impossible. If you get it on the first try, you are lucky. Why can't there be an update to fix this since nearly every review complains about the same thing. Very disappointing and getting too irritated to even enjoy the game. Edit 19 December: The touch input issue seems to have gotten worse after the update. Made subs around 60 minute mark and it never happened!

The game is pretty much unplayable. It crashes randomly and frequently. 2020 did the same but at least it would auto-save during matches so you could reboot and still have the same score and circumstances when you come back. 2021 doesn't auto-save with the right score. I was just winning 0-2, the game crashes, I reboot and it's 1-0. I keep trying to reboot and it's still 1-0. I only have England loaded so don't expect this. I'll be looking how to gets refund.

It's not good as FMT 2020 or previous versions
Dec 12, 2020

By Subastian S.

THE THINGS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF BUGS! I play FM for more than 20 years, and I played all FM Touch version ever launched. Now I have the credibility to speak, the release version is full of bugs, and it's not fully functional. Many buttons in the game are not working AT ALL! You can't anymore click many buttons that existed in previous years' versions. It is annoying to click around to switch to the desired screen/task/position. I don't like that I don't see more clearly adaptability composition while on the practice pitch. PLEASE UPDATE IT A LOT AND INCLUDE: PLAYER ADAPTABILITY (GREEN DOT) BUTTONS TO CLICK AND ACCESS CLUB/NATIONAL/..... GIVE US PERCENTAGES NOT HARTS AND ICONS - I NEED DATA NOT ANIMATIONS - THESE GREENISH HEATS ARE USELESS AND GIVE US MORE SKINS REACT ASAP

I love these games and have played everyone for years! I was enjoying the new features and updated database. However two separate games have now crashed following the completion of the second season champion league final. I have spent money on these games. I didn't mind the first time as I thought it was a random bug. But given the second restarted game has also now done it I do. Great game if not for the bugs!

Some shiny new features (more data analysis, in-game shouts); shame that they rarely seem to work. Game is buggier than the Amazon. Infographics show up blank half the time (star ratings, match analysis, details on tactics screen), most hyperlinks don't work, some drop-down menus can't be closed, buttons disappearing, can't highlight players during highlights, Assistant Manager seems to give far fewer tactical insights during matches (and doesn't make sense when they do - e.g. bring on players already on the field), players 'overwhelmed' after receiving two shouts in 45 minutes, VAR decisions being 100% predictable (fouls confirmed as penalties, fouls near edge of box confirmed as free-kicks, dubiously offside goals disallowed). All of this serves to provide the user with a very clunky and frustrating experience, which prevents the game from feeling like the 'simulation' that it should. Save yourself £20 and play last year's version until a suitable update is released.

Still very buggy. Can not seem to have face packs for most players. Some match calculations by the AI, is horrendous and makes you loose, even when you have 30 shots on goal and 15 actually on target.. One fluke loss I can take... But when you Dominate 5 or 10 games and still loose to a one shot one goal team more than once, then you can see the match engine is not properly designed..Also the game sometimes keeps saying I have an unofficial game, even though I down loaded it from the Playstore!

Absolutely rubbish. Can't get past the manager naming screen due to touch calibration issues so I can't play the game. Brand new Samsung Tab A. Pressing anywhere where there is a text box doesn't bring up the keyboard until you've pressed the text box again and it skips ahead to choosing password. Can't select down arrow to choose nationality etc. Just wasted £20.... I will be seeking a refund due to this poor excuse for a game.

Obviously an amazing series of games but this one is rushed. So many bugs in it which are fundamental to the playability of the game. Basic navigation links not working being a good example.

Buggy. Good game but very buggy. I haven't been able to play past 3 seasons because it keeps crashing when I try going past June 1. It's a shame that a good game has been ruined by bugs. Edit: I have decreased the rating from 2 stars to 1 star. Even after the update, I could only play one more season before it started crashing again. Did I pay £20 to play 3 seasons? How hard is it to fix this bug? I will be asking for a refund.
