Thanks for the app, ayoba used to be my best and favorite, for live scores, music, games ,it used also to offer some gifts like data for me, but these days, things have changed in ayoba, it's no longer the ayoba I used to know, so if you people can improve it once again, it would be better , I like ayoba so much, and I don't want to loose my favorite ayoba thanks

I'm unable to access my ayoba app ever since and it has refused to work. what could be the issue? Anytime I try to log in it asks me to verify and when I try to follow the process it suddenly says,"an error occurred during the verification process. please try again later."

I have an issue with ayoba since Sunday July 19, it's not opening. I cleared the cache, data, storage, re start my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled it, but still the same. I want to re register but keeps saying there is an error while registering, try again later. I've been using ayoba for the past 2 years without problem, and I really enjoyed using it as my music app. Please what's the way forward, because I'm missing the app oo. I'm from Nigeria
