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.

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

Matches and results close to real time, not much in the way of the preambles but good for the bouts. Includes down through all jury fights and the top four makushita. Unfortunately it does tell you straight up who won, so no surprises. Other info on stables, rikishi histories, and bashos going back over ten years. Helps us foreigners (you can set the language) to keep up to date.
