### 3/5 — A little glitchy

*2026-08-25, version 11.16.0*

I’m scrolling  up and down still not working

### 3/5 — Timer not displaying issue

*2026-07-30, version 11.15.0*

What happened to the countdown timer during and between quarters?

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2026-07-30, version 11.15.0*

Updated it and now there is no count down how much is left in the quarter

### 2/5 — Poor

*2026-07-30, version 11.15.0*

Doesn’t give the quarter or the minutes played.

### 3/5 — AFL

*2026-07-28, version 11.15.0*

It is ok at the moment but me updating the game is a pain in the butt and can I get a shoutout

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-26, version 11.15.0*

Hasn’t worked for a couple weeks now. Don’t waste your time downloading.

### 1/5 — AFL or AFLW?

*2026-07-26, version 11.15.0*

No mention of the AFL on the AFLW app, yet the AFLW is showcased on the AFL app.

Not interested. Thankfully there are a couple other apps that provide the same content or better content than the AFL app.

Will not use this app again.

### 1/5 — Bad news- you now need an AFL-ID login to see Match Centre Live Scores

*2026-07-16, version 11.14.0*

Good news - I have dumped this app; I can get my AFL news and live scores and stats from zeroHangar and FootyWire. 

If you value your privacy, delete the AFL app and try these alternatives! 👍

### 1/5 — match centre on AFL website worked 9-12 July 2026, but now doesn’t work in browsers on ios & android

*2026-07-16, version 11.14.0*

i will be voting with my eyeballs.. no more AFL app or website, i will use external sites for live footy stats and abc news website for news. Poor form AFL, listening to a greedy marketing company instead of listening to fans.

### 2/5 — Slow

*2026-07-16, version 11.14.0*

Why is it so slooooow to load every other time? Feels like it’s trying to grab all my data before giving me what I want. Nothing wrong with my internet

### 1/5 — Notifications are a joke

*2026-07-10, version 11.14.0*

Follow dev guidelines. Do better

### 4/5 — Fuel Offer

*2026-07-09, version 11.14.0*

Let me start by saying, I live the app. That said, I recently noticed that I had not been getting the 4c fuel discount.  As it turned out, I had been automatically logged out of my account and hadn’t noticed. So I would get fuel and go in to pay, scan the barcode and proceed back to my car, have a look at the receipt and see no discount has been applied. Now I understand that if I am not logged into my account then I don’t get the discount. What I don’t understand is, if I am not logged in to my account, why does the app provide a discount barcode? Or at least warm me that I am not logged into my account! It’s a minor issue but frustrating none the less.

### 1/5 — $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

*2026-06-11, version 11.13.0*

Sold their sole to Fox/Kayo for $$$$$$$$ Pensioners & low income suffer. RIP AFL

### 1/5 — Shame on you

*2026-08-20, version 11.15.0*

I am shocked and outraged at the hyperlink to Sportsbet to bet on games. Immediately deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-08-16, version 11.15.0*

I couldn’t create an afl id. App just glitches and barely works.

### 1/5 — AFLW  content

*2026-08-09, version 11.15.0*

Its disgraceful how many AFLW articles I have to scroll through just to find some AFL content on the AFL app
The AFLW has its own app so leave it there and stop cramming it down our throats

### 1/5 — Video doesn’t work on iPad

*2026-08-06, version 11.15.0*

I’ve used this app for years, recently when I open a video it goes to an entirely blank, black screen and then the video loads and I can hear the audio bit no visual shows up. Sometimes if I minimise the screen I get a small window of video but not often. This is on a standard iPad, not connected to any 2nd screen or projector, it’s just the iPad.
This app used to be good, now it’s basically useless for me

### 1/5 — Deleted app

*2026-08-01, version 11.15.0*

Less and less afl is shown on free air tv so might as well give up now watching it

### 1/5 — Constantly demanding updates when I want to just see the score

*2026-08-01, version 11.15.0*

Deleted the app. Just use google to check the score instead.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-08-01, version 11.15.0*

Locks you out to force updates

### 1/5 — Garbage update

*2026-07-31, version 11.15.0*

Already a below average UX but surely having game details like time played/time left to play and which quarter they’re in would be essential - this can’t be found in the app at all anymore, let alone the match tab. This key info has been removed in the latest update, absolute joke. I hope it’s a mistaken oversight or just rage bait but don’t recommend updating if you want to see critical game details.

### 1/5 — Match Clock gone

*2026-07-30, version 11.15.0*

The main reason I used to look at this app was to see the score and what qtr with how long left. That is not gone and I this app is useless to me. Absolutely terrible decision.

### 1/5 — Countdown clock not functioning

*2026-07-30, version 11.15.0*

Have no idea what quarter the game is in. No countdown clock as all it says is ‘live’ when the is a break. Fix ASAP!!

### 5/5 — iPhone iPad

*2026-08-17, version 11.15.0*

Not on watch

### 5/5 — I love how they show you who wins

*2026-08-16, version 11.15.0*

5 stars

### 5/5 — Bulldogs

*2026-08-03, version 11.15.0*

Great app

### 5/5 — Awesome 👍👍👍

*2026-07-28, version 11.15.0*

I think the app is very good.

### 5/5 — Tepid AFL fan review

*2026-07-04, version 11.14.0*

Only a semi engaged AFL follower, but I have to say, this app is top notch. Polished, with things like lock screen updates and genuinely seemingly polished internal news and operations. Genuinely impressed considering the amount of slop out there these days. Good on you AFL!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-19, version 11.7.0*

This app helps me look at who is winning if I’m not bothered to watch the actual game. The ladder is always keeping me updated.

### 5/5 — Can’t open app

*2026-06-09, version 11.7.0*

I can’t open app it directs me to update but that’s not happening.

### 5/5 — AFL Live Official App

*2026-05-08, version 11.12.1*

IM A Part Of A Magpie Army!!

### 5/5 — Latest version of app will not open

*2026-04-13, version 11.7.0*

Still an annoying mess. Surely you can do better for us oldies. Doug McLean

### 5/5 — Love afl

*2026-04-07, version 11.7.0*

If you love AFl download the AFL app now.
