Gave up ### 2/5 — Fixtures *2026-05-03, version 10.1.0* I downloaded the app to see the all black line up. NOTHING ??? ### 2/5 — Missed opportunities *2025-11-08* When you make a change it should be for the better, an improvement. This app is far from an improvement! So much of what used to be available is gone or buried in unlikely places in the app. Most basic is the game schedule - if it’s there, I’ve not be able to find it. In the old app it was front and centre. Then where have the words to the Haka gone? All we’ve got now is a “coffee table book in an app”, even the highlight reels are limited and dour. Bring back the calendar of events/playing schedule, please, if nothing else. ### 2/5 — Fixtures etc *2025-08-22, version 2.0.0* I can’t seem to find fixtures details. Love to know kick off dates and times, team lists etc but can not find anywhere! ### 1/5 — Where’s the detail? *2025-08-19, version 2.0.0* Where’s all the matches, stats etc for all the competitions!!! This app is a backwards step well done NZR ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-08-17, version 2.0.0* No dates of fixtures / no tables / no teams / no overview / no matches. Hard to find anything a total waste of time. ### 1/5 — WTF *2025-08-16, version 2.0.0* Downloaded to get the All Black games schedule………..nothing ### 1/5 — Where are Fixtures?? *2025-08-15, version 2.0.0* Got rid of the All Blacks app, and don’t even provide this key information in the new app. ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2025-08-11* Most useless info gathering sports app ever! Frustratingly annoying. Downloaded and deleted several times hoping for an update but no. What’s going on NZR +, don’t know what the plus is for, should be a minus - ### 1/5 — No Calendar Of Upcoming Games *2025-08-10, version 2.0.0* The official app of NZ rugby and it doesn’t have a calendar of upcoming games. Would have thought that would be one of the most important features. The app has gaming and fantasy lol. Let us know upcoming fixtures, start times etc. ### 1/5 — Where are the scores and schedules? *2025-08-06* this app doesn’t show schedules or scores - nothing about scores or future events. All this app does is give media news… which I can get off stuff or any other media site. Seems a waste of time ### 1/5 — Rear vision mirror *2025-08-06, version 2.0.0* Kind of strange, with the rugby world wanting to look forward to what’s coming next, this app looks backward. Don’t get it! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-08-05, version 2.0.0* What happened to the All Black app and why can’t I find the ABs schedule on here?? I don’t want all the past games from years ago. I want up to date schedules! ### 1/5 — Below average *2025-07-27, version 1.27.1* Hard to navigate. The original ABs app was far better. Doesn’t even display the current AB game schedule ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2025-07-26, version 1.27.1* This is rubbish where the hell are the fixtures? Copy the league live app it’s far better and easy to use ### 2/5 — Lacks basic content people care about *2025-07-20* Great idea but the fundamental attention loop has to be based on rugby scores and stats and perhaps some kind of live game discussion. I was shocked to see this has none of that. No alerts for when the abs are playing. This is how you grow interest in the rest of the content. Users who care about rugby care about stats and scores. Please fix this massive oversight. If you don’t any money doesn’t on upgrading this will be wasted ### 1/5 — No info about games *2025-07-19, version 1.27.1* I loved the old app because I could simply look for the fixtures but this app has content and no fixtures. Stupid ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-07-18, version 1.27.1* What’s the point of this app?? Needs schedule, fixtures, results, standings I’d give a zero rating, but not an option ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way worse than old version *2026-07-23* Can’t just simply see lineouts as a list. Nags me every time I start the app to enable notifications. too heavy on looking fancy rather than nailing the basics. Shame ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-07-19* Why have a all black app that doesn’t show upcoming tours or upcoming games. No real information available, a complete waste of time even uploading it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration about not finding upcoming tours and game information easily. We're constantly working to improve the app experience and make key information more accessible to fans. Tours, including Rugby's Greatest Rivalry and Lions 2027 can be found under the All Blacks and Black Ferns sections respectively. Fixtures can be found on the Homepage and within each Team page. Please contact our support team directly if you need any further assistance. We appreciate your passion for the All Blacks and Black Ferns. ### 1/5 — NZR Do it again *2026-06-19, version 11.0.2* Another terrible effort to engage fans. Am I the only one looking for live scoring, team lists, live player performance stats? ### 1/5 — Can’t find what I’m looking for. *2026-06-17, version 11.0.2* I’ve been a rugby fan my whole life and used the old app all the time. This one is a shocker. I’ve just given up on it but thought you should know. BK ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2026-05-31, version 10.1.0* Can’t log in as it says I have a proxy or VPN which I don’t have ### 1/5 — All Blacks app was better *2025-11-14, version 6.0.0* Loads of content, but good luck finding out what time the game is or anything else match related. ### 1/5 — Worst rugby app *2025-09-13, version 5.2.0* Can't even find the match scores.... ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in home network *2025-09-06, version 5.2.0* Works well in 5g or 4g but doesn’t work in home network even if u live in New Zealand. ### 1/5 — Possibly the worst sports app *2025-09-04, version 5.2.0* This app is embarrassingly bad. As per many other reviews - no fixtures etc. Tomorrow is the biggest ABs game outside of RWC - vs SA at Eden park - but no info on the time for kickoff, teams etc. Same for NPC - no fixtures or standings. If NZR are trying to drive fans/customers/revenue to other platforms this is the right way to do it. The primary info that fans want is current info - not replays from 1990. ### 1/5 — The Rugby App *2025-08-22, version 2.0.0* You’re better off downloading the rugby app if you want access to fixtures. It’s free and doesn’t have Sanzaar all over it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10/10 app *2026-07-01, version 11.0.3* Such a great app. The app is quick, easy to use and looks great. Been using it heaps to keep up with fixtures, team announcements and tune into their NZR+ content. Everything loads fast. Keen to see what features get added next! ### 5/5 — Welcome Back! *2026-06-23* Brilliant app, so good to have the All Blacks app back in our hands!! ### 5/5 — Kuz *2025-05-12* Like to keep up with all levels of Rugby and the app does it for me ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-04-28, version 1.25.2* Great app to update me on my rugby👍 ### 5/5 — Great for USA fans *2025-04-19* I love this app because I don’t live in New Zealand, but I live in the United States and it gives me access to the team that I love! ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-04-18* Love the app ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-04-17* Excellent for a kiwi to keep up with what’s happening with the All Blacks. ### 5/5 — NZr + *2025-04-12* Just the best ### 5/5 — Great content *2025-04-11, version 1.25.2* Love watching highlights of games I missed and also of games I've watched ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-04-11, version 1.25.2* Love the app and it’s easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
