Ratings and reviews

EDIT: Being able to favorite matches would be fantastic. Great app. Definitely worth using paid as the access to older matches is the greatest feature of the app. The personalization as far as following your favorites is appreciated, however what would improve things and really make it perfect would be the ability to create your own playlists or to at least autoplay certain match days. The thing I find most frustrating is having to navigate around just to watch 2 matches with the same wrestler.

The addition of ads really ruined the app. It was already mediocre with only 1 playback a day but now to watch a 30 second ad to watch a 2 min bout seems pretty excessive. If the subscription fres were more reasonable I'd consider the paid version but it costs as much as a streaming service that has diverse content.

Excellent coverage of every aspect of sumo. (Edit) the more I use it the more I like it. Customer service also excellent.
