Is LiveScore a scam?
No. LiveScore is a legitimate live-scores service that has operated since 1998. Some angry reviewers call the developers liars over notifications they cannot switch off, but the frustration is about ads, tracking consent and notification behaviour, not fraud.
App getting deleted now. Will get a different provider. Non-stop unwanted notifications despite everything turned off. The developers pretend it is a fault but they know it's deliberate click bait All through the world cup and now into the new season Switched to this app from flash score as that kept giving notifications for nonsense I didn't want. This app is now doing the same. Developers are liars

Is LiveScore legit?
Yes. LiveScore has run since 1998 and reviewers consistently describe it as a fast, accurate source of live scores, with goal updates often arriving before the TV. The recent one-star reviews are about ads, the tracking-consent screen and unwanted notifications, not about the scores being wrong or the app being fake.
LiveScore is the best football scores app I've used. It updates match scores faster than other apps, so I always get the latest results first. It's fast, reliable, and easy to use. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants real-time football updates.

Why does LiveScore keep sending me betting or gambling notifications I turned off?
This is a leading recent complaint. Reviewers say they disable betting and gambling notifications and find them re-enabled within a day or two, and that notification settings reset after updates. Some have uninstalled over it.
Betting notifications re-enable themselves over and over. Uninstalled. edit: note to developer, I have turned betting notifications off and yet within 1-2 days they're enabled again. fix this and I'll use your app.

How do I turn off the "Shocks" or spoiler notifications in LiveScore?
Reviewers repeatedly report that the "Shocks" or "Shocker" alerts cannot be permanently disabled, they get re-enabled after being turned off, and that they spoil results for people watching recordings. Reviewers say this has been raised many times without a lasting fix.
Stop with these "SHOCKS!" spoilers! They cannot be turned off: you keep turning them back on. Don't you know that people watch recordings?! Shame on you, that's violence, what you do. If it goes on I will have to uninstall. This app used to be best 😔

Why is LiveScore asking me to pay to reject cookies?
Reviewers report a consent screen that requires either accepting tracking cookies or paying for a subscription to reject them, and several say they will uninstall rather than do either. This is a recent change some long-time users object to strongly.
I opened the app today and was confronted with a page which said pay to reject cookies. NO ABSOLUTELY NOT. If this continues I WILL UNINSTALL

Why are there so many ads in LiveScore now?
Reviewers cite a large splash-screen ad on launch, an ad required to view the live match tracker, and autoplaying video highlights with no way to turn them off. Several say the app has become bloated and slow as a result.
Too many ads now on this app, especially the big splash screen. Is there another app without the big splash screen?

Why is LiveScore so slow or crashing since the World Cup update?
A cluster of reviewers reports the app becoming bloated and barely loading, showing skeleton placeholders for several seconds when opening a match, or crashing on launch, with the decline dated to around the World Cup and subsequent updates.
The app has become so bloated it barely loads anymore. UI change, AI bloat, and Ad bloating make it extremely difficult to do the basics: open and show scores.

Why can't I find lower-league or less popular competitions on LiveScore anymore?
Reviewers say a previous feature to browse competitions by country was removed and that it is now hard to find anything not classed as "popular". Some also point to missing coverage, such as the women's African Cup of Nations. Long-time users describe this as a step backward.
It's very disappointing now. Difficult to find any leagues that are not 'popular'. Massive step back and far from what a useful and organized tool it used to be. After one of the last updates I deleted it. Not good.
