The OFM app: your football manager game on your phone

What the app can do

In the app you play exactly the same game as in the browser: the same squad, the same league, the same competitions. On top of that there are a few things only your phone can do:

• Push notifications You find out straight away when someone outbids you, a message arrives or an event starts. You choose what you want to receive in your profile.
• Stay signed in No need to sign in every time you open the app. Tap a notification and you land on the right page.
• Take your club along with a QR code Move your club to another device by scanning a QR code, without typing a password.
• Made for your thumb The menu sits at the bottom of the screen, and a red number shows what is waiting for you.

One club for browser and app

The app doesn’t replace the browser, it complements it. Both use the same game data, so you can switch at any time and even play in parallel. Plenty of managers set their line-up in the app on the way to work and bid on the transfer market on a big screen in the evening. If you already play in the browser there is nothing to transfer: your club belongs to your account, not to your device. How OFM works in the browser is explained in our guide to the football manager browser game.
