Filled with adverts that are hard to step away from ### 3/5 — Falling behind *2026-08-23, version 12.9.33* Was my goto footy app but has increasingly driven me away with the ads and failure to have finals or AFLW programs listed. Would have been happy to pay a subscription to get rid of the ads but don’t think that option exists. ### 3/5 — Advertisement *2026-08-22, version 12.9.33* No AFLW??? ### 3/5 — Great app *2026-08-17, version 12.9.33* Great app but please before you fix bugs don’t release new ones. The menu bar doesn’t respond to dark mode now. ### 4/5 — To many betting inducements *2026-08-15, version 12.9.32* To many betting inducements on this app, little flashing signs and most annoying of all when I change screens from Match Day to Ladder a betting app floods the screen and the only way to get rid of this pestilence is to shut the footy app and reopen it, pathetic really ! I really cannot share this app because of the betting ### 4/5 — Where’s AFLW2026? *2026-08-09, version 12.9.32* Love this app but I’m on a train to the first AFLW match of 2026 and the app hasn’t been updated to include the draw etc. ### 2/5 — WHAT HAPPENED?? *2026-08-08, version 12.9.32* It was such a great app easy to use, but that all changed you introduced clumsy Ads. It’s just horrible to use now And seems they’ve lost their feeds for other competitions. Ie aflw Coates … and previous years info VERY DISAPPOINTING ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-08, version 12.9.32* Ad every second switch ### 1/5 — Good .. now bad *2026-08-07, version 12.9.32* Used to be my go to app for AFL, no the pop ads have absolutely ruined it… deleted ### 2/5 — Premiership ladder *2026-08-03, version 12.9.32* The commercials drive me nuts ### 1/5 — Footy Live *2026-08-02, version 12.9.32* Dreadful App - ads override all the time. Most irritating. Was great app at the beginning but it’s awful ### 3/5 — please add afl fantasy points *2026-08-01, version 12.9.32* my phone is to old to get afl app so i need another way to check fantasy points when i’m out, i got this app thinking it would do so, but there isn’t. pls add fantasy points, and also the ads are killing me when i’m just trying to check the scores quickly. i see no reason to use this instead of the afl app, pls remove ads or have a small fee to remove them. ### 1/5 — Get rid of ads *2026-07-29, version 12.9.32* The ads are so bad get rid of them ### 4/5 — Love the App, Hate the Ads *2026-07-26, version 12.9.32* I’ve had this app on my phone for quite a few years. It’s a standout. This season, just when I want to look at match progress I get bombarded by multiple ads, usually for online slots, which have nothing to do with AFL. Please introduce an option to pay to get rid of them, or get better advertisers. I realise you have to make a living but you’ve destroyed the user experience. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2026-07-25, version 12.9.32* Used to be a great app, but since the introduction of pop up adds, I have to constantly restart it. Ready to delete it. ### 2/5 — Bye bye after a long time *2026-07-24, version 12.9.32* I have had this app for over 10 years on my phone, but it’s time to part ways because of the stupid ads you have implemented form be wanting to switch between tabs. Well done on ruining a great app. Cya ### 1/5 — The adds are painful *2026-07-24, version 12.9.32* Waste too much time with painful adds at the start. Use to be able to open app quickly to check scores. App to annoying to use, Delete. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-07-24, version 12.9.32* Stop the automatic ads interfering with reading of articles ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-29, version 12.9.33* Would be good to add the AFLW 2926 fixture seeing as it’s started! Why advertise that it has AFLW scores and states if you don’t even add them. So disrespectful. ### 1/5 — AFLW *2026-08-28, version 12.9.33* Why is the AFLW not included anymore on this app? ### 1/5 — WAY TOOOO many distractions before I get to to view what I was looking for. *2026-08-21, version 12.9.33* “Just the facts Mam- just the facts” ### 1/5 — Dr Who mikent *2026-08-20, version 12.9.33* So: we’ve turned back time and gone to 2022 Worser $ worser!! ### 1/5 — No longer a good option *2026-08-20, version 12.9.33* It’s round 2 of AFLW2026 and still not available. Ads are now hugely disruptive. ### 1/5 — Downfall of once a great app *2026-08-15, version 12.9.32* I hope people reading any app reviews always select “Most Recent” because the true ratings reside there. So for Footy Live and its NRL cousin, I am so disappointed to what has become of these. Ads interfering and slow ladder updates and what’s happened to the VFL, SANFL, WAFL pages? Going to delete this app (and the NRL one as well) unless developer can convince me otherwise. Mate, you have till this season’s end ### 1/5 — Stupid ads *2026-08-14, version 12.9.32* Went from favourite app to worst app. Way too many ads. ### 1/5 — Do not waste your time *2026-08-14, version 12.9.32* This was the best footy app for a decade, now it’s a gambling slop fest with endless irrelevant full screen ads, AND they’ve binned AFLW and SANFL scores. Literally useless now. ### 1/5 — Out of sate *2026-08-13, version 12.9.32* If you’re going to do an app need to do it properly!! Used to be great but all your apps not updated even though you’re pushing masses of ads!! ### 1/5 — Too many advertisements *2026-08-08, version 12.9.32* No longer great. Crashes and full of advertisements. Deleting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ted *2026-08-29, version 12.9.33* Brilliant ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-09, version 12.9.32* Best app wish I could remove the adds ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-07-16, version 12.9.31* Easy to use and read ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-14, version 12.9.31* Footy live is so good works so well tells me all the information about footy that I need to know, West coast eagles are my favourite team and it tells me everything I need to know about the team ,tells you all the stats of live and past games. ### 5/5 — Annoying adds *2026-05-16, version 12.9.31* Great app, sometimes adds in apps are okay, but the adds and choice of adds in footy live are particularly annoying and unsuitable. ### 5/5 — Delete Ads *2026-05-16, version 12.9.31* Why am I seeing kn ads now? ### 5/5 — Todd hombsch *2026-05-10, version 12.9.31* Footy live ### 5/5 — Crows *2026-05-07, version 12.9.31* Love the App easy to use, love the option on next 5 to play and the ladder could go on all day why I love it. Can see on phone live scores ### 5/5 — Crashes! *2026-04-24, version 12.9.31* I try to open the app and get a black, blank screen. Only thing to do is dump the app, and re-download it. Annoying, to say the least. Has the AFL put an embargo on it operation? ### 5/5 — Footy Live *2026-04-18, version 12.9.31* Love this app been using it for years, lately the stats on each player is sometimes all over the place and it doesn’t update as quick as it used to Please try have stats update after each game And if you could do the same for the players in all the other leagues to and there stats in VFL, SANFL, WAFL, Talent League even U18 Championships Then this would be perfect!
