I don't know what my accreditation number? HELP! You need instructions on the app site. ### 1/5 — Can't Open *2017-01-18, version 1.1.2* Asks me to sign in with my accreditation number and password. That's great but there's no way to get an accreditation number or password. USELESS! ### 1/5 — Sign in? *2017-01-18* How is it this just works on my iPhone and the iPad version requires a sign in with an accreditation number? ### 1/5 — Why do I have to sign in? *2017-01-17* Are there any reasons that I have to create an account in order to use this app? If so, how? ### 1/5 — AO app. Can't even get started! *2017-01-17, version 1.1.2* What accreditation number? Why a password (create a password?) for each section? Where is the Help? Sue Hill. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-01-15, version 1.1.2* The AO app for the iPhone works great so I downloaded this to my iPad and it wants me to log-in with an accreditation number and I can't use it. So this must be for players and media or something like that. Why isn't there a public app similar to the one for the iPhone? The other slams all have great iPad apps. ### 1/5 — Mrs *2016-01-20, version 1.0.1* What a waste of time, not able to open on iPad. No access for the public, get your act together and make this accessible to all fans. Take a look at the superb app that Wimbledon provide and hang your heads in shame. ### 1/5 — Huh!!!!!!!!! *2016-01-19, version 1.0.1* So no iPad app for the general public? A bit pointless really ? ### 1/5 — Australian open app *2016-01-17, version 1.0.1* Presented with a page saying "sign in" - no other options, clicked on it, wanted accreditation number, don't have one, but no way to get back off the page - I've had to delete it already! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many glitches!!! *2018-01-17* Useless application as it has too many glitches. Can't even get to the "Draw" section. Too bad as in a couple of weeks we will not be needing this application. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2018-01-17, version 1.1.5* Where to start? At 1 time, the app had 3 incorrect players on the courts. You have to scroll forever to see live scores and no easy way to return to the top. There are only a fee postmatch interviews. The watch live worked for qualies but no more... ### 1/5 — Rien ne fonctionne ! *2018-01-17, version 1.1.5* Je n’ai jamais vu une application aussi mauvaise. Rien ne fonctionne dès qu’on essaie de changer de page. Frustrant. Elle allait bien les autres années ! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-01-17, version 1.1.5* It’s so bad, I’ve never had such a bad experience with AO app ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-01-16, version 1.1.5* All grand slam tournaments have nice apps. How come the AO have such a bad one? Unreliable, terrible view of the draws and results. One star is too much! ### 1/5 — Disappointed! *2018-01-15, version 1.1.5* Downloaded this App to follow the Aussie Open. It's only available for accredited players and there's nothing for the fans worldwide. Totally missing an opportunity here I feel. Take a leaf out of Wimbledon's book as they clearly care more for their fans! ### 1/5 — Annoyingly bad *2018-01-15, version 1.1.5* No, I don’t want to receive notifications. No, I am not attending the Australian Open... Don’t ask me every single time I try to use the app. Oh, and it also doesn’t work half the time (error messages abound). You’d think that apps should get better with time, not far worse. ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2018-01-14* Easily the worst App I have ever tried to use. Apart from being difficult to use at all some parts, eg printing the draws, don't work at all. Australia should be ashamed of this! ### 1/5 — What the? *2018-01-07* Read the previous 4 reviews, this makes no sense. All the other majors have apps that are helpful and informative. Hope someone gets their act together. ### 1/5 — Not for spectators or fans around the world *2017-01-27* It looks like this app was designed for players and officials and other accredited individuals. Frustratingly useless to tennis fans around the world especially AO fans. What a shame. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not for public *2017-01-19, version 1.1.2* For all those complaining that they don't have an accreditation number or password, if you're not a player in the AO then this is probably not the app for you. This app is for players, not the general public. There is a separate app available Australian Open Tennis Championship (for iPhone) for following the tennis. ### 3/5 — So so *2019-01-19, version 1.2.1* Have seen better apps in the past, app is not very user friendly. Would like to see the presiding umpires for each match to be included. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
