Best-of lists
Before installing, check which competitions you actually follow. The store descriptions differ here: Soccer Scores leans toward MLS and Leagues Cup, BeSoccer names MLS, the Premier League and the Champions League, and Sofascore adds many other sports. If you only want one league, the official Premier League app keeps the screen narrow and has no ads. If you follow several clubs across countries, a broader tracker such as FotMob or Sofascore saves switching between apps. Also look at the in-app purchase notes on each listing, since eight of the nine include them.
