Comments on Football Referee Lite for Android

★★★★★ Zain Zaza · Jun 15, 2025
it's a very good game and all but the only downside is, if u have like a multiple million of dollars and want to invest that all in gold u have to spend like an hour to invest that all, there should be a button where u can just invest all your money just with one click. It's a fun game though!
★★★★★ Razqa Alvaro · Feb 14, 2025
Great Game! Thanks for creating Lite, so I can play being a Ref, this game also can play history match, even world cup or other, I hope you can get more ideas on this game!
★★★★★ Paulina Ngcithane · Dec 29, 2025
It's fun to play, and I always wanted to feel what it's like to be a referee I'm happy to get a chance to be a referee
★★★★★ Rinley Mwema · May 31, 2025
Honestly this game helps me cope with my self, and it's satisfying I recommend downloading it
★☆☆☆☆ KTS 2611 · Feb 25, 2025
IDK why. But I haven't played In 3 months, and I tried to play again, so I clicked play, and it came up with 'you have reached your game limit, play again in 4 minutes and 55 seconds'Like I just wanted to play 😭😭😭
★☆☆☆☆ Carlos Hernandez · Jan 12, 2025
Improve the graphics a little. And by the way, a player was extremely offside, so I called no goal. When I saw my correct or incorrect calls the offside was not offside like what?
★☆☆☆☆ Alfie Deacon · Aug 5, 2025
It does not let me press the fouls it is rubbish don't doun loud it
★★☆☆☆ Avi Shah · Mar 28, 2025
Game only lets you play a couple of games, and then it makes you upgrade or wait 5 mins to play. It's so dumb and it sucks 🤮
