To many features removed

Used to be hands down the best rugby app on the store. However, too many features have been removed one by one and put behind a considerable pay wall. Features that I thought I was paying for when I bought this app, which makes it feel even worse.

This has also damaged my trust in the developer, since if they came out with a 10 or 15 pound version with all the features, I would not trust them to keep their word and not then remove the features and put them behind a subscription model.

This app used to be great.

Response from developer

Hi Mark, Sorry to hear you're upset about the introduction of Ultimate Rugby+. We introduced it at a lower price originally as a special offer for our users and it has not returned to it's full price. We hope you understand the change in price as we are not trying to deceive our users. Thanks for the feedback

Was fantastic

This Rugby app, in my mind was fantastic, the stats, results, news and social sharing possibilities were second to none. I paid for the pro version to have the adverts removed. And, for a long time, this was great and well worth the money. Now, the adverts are back and very intrusive considering I paid to have a premium product. On top of that the stats have been reduced and every time I click on something it wants me to subscribe. £6.99 / month! Come on really!! My Netflix subscription is about the same as that and the content on Netflix by far out weighs the value I get from ultimate rugby. Disappointed, I guess that such a great app has got greedy. I can understand a subscription for newer members who hadn’t joined but to penalise your loyal paying customers...

Response from developer

Hi there, You still don't receive pop up ads / banners on the PRO version as stated in the description in the app store, it's not completely ad free only pop up & banner free for the PRO version. As for the subscription, the price is currently £19.99/Year which works out at £1.67 a month for the service and not £6.99. We've had to make this change to support our ever improving level of coverage and addition of new teams, leagues & players alongside additional features & more accurate stats. We hope you understand why we had to make the change and continue to support us moving forward as a valued user of the app. Thanks again for your feedback & enjoy the rugby

Great App

Always loved this app, really let’s me delve into the details of the games and players.
Just can you please sort out an update for users on iPhone X, since I’ve switched fill it constantly kicks me off when I try go into games to check scores.
Really starting to annoy me considering I pay £9.99 a year for subscription.

If you update to the latest version of the app it's fully iPhone X supported, please update & it should solve any issues you might have had! Thank you for your feedback & continued support of Ultimate Rugby

Was good...

Was an exceptional app, with an emphasis on the ‘was’ I felt more than happy to pay for the app with the amount of content available, but a lot of this is now locked away behind a subscription paywall which is extremely disappointing for a long term customer & user. Having recently upgraded to the iPhone X the app also now crashes within 30 seconds of opening, not impressed after a great beginning.

Hi Bill The latest version is optimised for the iPhone X and plus size devices. Thanks for your feedback and if we can do anything else to improve your experience please let us know All the best

DO NOT PAY!

The developers are trying to turn the app into a subscription model and actually buying still means you have to pay the subscription on top to get access to basic features. If you don't mind the subscription then just get the free version and save yourself the cost of the app. I'm uninstalling and moving to the ESPN app and I recommend others do the same.

Please optimise the app

Please, please, please optimise the app so it's built for iPhone 6 and upwards. It's a flawless app just with a build for iPhone 5 screens. Do that and it'll be 5 star.

I left the previous part of this review in January and have had a number of updates since. Still no optimisation for larger phones. The developer can take the time to respond to people’s reviews but won’t optimise the app.

The new subscription service too is ridiculous. Like many others I’ve paid for the app and to check things like the Challenge Cup or the Currie Cup are no longer an option. Sort it out, Ultimate Rugby.

Shame that content now needs to be paid for - on pro version

I really enjoy this app. It is the best for coverage of the leagues, team stats and the commentary is unrivalled.

However, I’ve always downloaded and paid for the “pro” app, but not the developers are charging for content that was previously free. Eg: challenge cup - you now need to subscribe to get this content. To me, after having already paid for the app in the first place, this seems like nothing more than greed. I appreciate the need to make money here, but this goes a step beyond that. Disappointing

Ultimate ripoff

I upgraded to the pro version and despite a few snags it was my first stop for rugby scores and news .
To be given little choice but to pay $9.99 a year for information easily available elsewhere is too much.
Pity.

Annual subscription for a paid for app

It was an easy decision to pay for the Pro version of the app. But changing the Paid for Pro app to subscription model, with no additional features, is over reaching. Worse is that I am paying the annual subcription for access to features on the Android app but I have to pay for another annual subscription for the iPhone app

WHAT?!?

I purchased the PRO version so I can get all relevant rugby data and stats as you advertised.
Now I am being forced to subscribe to a yearly subscription fee before I can see ANY detail?!? This is unfair.
This app used to be my go-to app for all rugby related queries, and now it’s unusable. There’s no way I pay a subscription fee. I will rather bookmark a website to give me same information.
