Pas d’infos sur le club adverse avant de le jouer, impossibilité d’attribuer le brassard de capitaine à un joueur, les entraînements mériteraient d’être possibles pour plusieurs joueurs en même temps à cocher et pas à devoir retourner sur la playlist à chaque fois pour l’attribuer etc etc… ### 2/5 — Could be good but don’t waste your money!! *2025-09-16, version 1.0.15* Could be a good game, all the teams, players and competitions you could really want. Some of the tactics options are cool once you buy expansion packs etc. That said there’s bugs galore. One season in and you can’t progress, finished the season playing one game less than other teams (how?), game crashes when try to play full game version and you have to skip certain games pressing instant match…. Hold off spending a good £20 + until the developers drive improvements! ### 3/5 — Beaucoup de potentiel mais jeu non fini *2025-08-29* Très sympa, toutes les equipes jouables en Top 14, URC et premiership + la grande et la petite coupe d’Europe. Malheureusement le jeu ne s’actualise pas d’annee en annee, les transferts ne sont pas très bien fait, l'évolution des joueurs est peu réaliste (les joueurs ne font que progresser et ne régressent pas en vieillissant), les matchs internationaux sont payants, on ne peut pas changer de club en cours de carrière, le développement du club est limité et les possibilités stratégiques sont faibles pour peser sur le résultat. Un potentiel énorme mais mérite d’être plus abouti. ### 4/5 — Needs to be fine tuned a little please *2025-08-22* I enjoy the experience of playing this game, but needs just a bit more to make the game excellent and worth the splurge. A few notes: - I just got through my first season and started selling my players in the new transfer window. I sold one of my scrum halfs leaving me with just 1 scrum half remains on my squad. I am also trying to buy a scrum half but when I’m waiting for an acceptance for my bid (3-5 week wait period). I’m now stuck at preseason friendly 1 because I cannot fill 1 slot on the bench (since it requires it to be a scrum half) please take a look at the bench issues and allow another player to fill a spot regardless of position. This ruined a save file since I could not progress from this issue. -I think another solution to this issue above: is allow for an instant player addition/buy to fulfill the squad bench that has to be full. Or if you have a concering number of players in a specific role that might cause an issue with the bench lineup numbers, when you start a new season, allow an academy graduate player that fills in a space on the squad to be automatically added so you have depth to avoid the situation Or Just always allow for you to choose from a list of academy prospects whenever you please and fill in the empty slots when needed. - I think you should include a squad 1 and squad 2 save for squad selection part, so you do not have to constantly manually select the players for lineup. The auto-fill feature still makes mistakes with player-selection, and this would be a simple fix and time saving. - Make the game more user friendly on iPad because some features are either cut off or not shown at all. (I.e When there’s an alert pop up warning for player contracts that expire if you press continue to next season, there is an okay button that completely covers the text box you need to read. Or the button feature to select release contract for your players, you can still tap to hit the release button, but it is hidden from view and have to touch a specific area). - As mentioned earlier, when the season is about to end, I would like to renew a contract to keep my players that did well, but the feature to resign a players contract is not possible because it doesn’t work when the transfer window isn’t open. Shouldn’t you be able to resign a player you liked that year? I ended up losing players when loading the next season since I could not resign a contract before progressing. Those players ended up on a random team for me to have to buy back if I choose. - It would be easier to search players if you allow for more filters to search for players you’re looking for specifically. I.e. Give additional filters for searches like age, nation of origin of player, a players stat number that you are specifically needing to be what you need. These are suggestions but definitely fix the bench system issue because that ruined it for me where I cannot progress. Hope this review helps a bit and you make money from this game by continuing the development. Small things added to this game like I mentioned above would make it worthwhile to splurge on the paid features for this game. I would have paid, but these issues discouraged me until it’s solid. ### 4/5 — Great game but I have a problem *2025-08-09, version 1.0.15* The game is amazing i really like it I brought the full version of the game because I really liked it the I brought the additional player pack this is my problem I sell some player and that and buy a player from the pack like will Jordan the I go to the squad and see he’s name and put him in and instead of will Jordan he’s Theo Dan….like what? So please fix this because I want to use these over players not have random players ### 3/5 — Game just crashes *2025-06-02, version 1.0.15* I like customization but whenever I try to play a game it just crashes and my phone is only an se so it’s not that old. I don’t know what’s going on but please fix it. ### 3/5 — Jeu pas prêt *2025-05-20* Le jeu a un potentiel énorme et n’est pas mauvais, il est juste pas fini. Il manque beaucoup d’explication et de fonctionnalités. Par exemple on ne peut entraîner qu’un joueur par un joueur et on est obligé de payer. On ne sait rien sur nos adversaires et on doit quand même personnaliser la stratégie d’équipe. Beaucoup de règle sont manquantes ou fausses. En plus la plupart de fonctionnalités sont payantes. En bref le jeu pourrait être excellent mais il n’est pas fini et du coup c’est frustrant. ### 2/5 — DON’T BUY 6N TOURNAMENT *2025-05-19, version 1.0.15* DO NOT BUY six nations tournament. I bought it because I thought it would be fun to do a tournament with a few of the nations in the tournament. I won as England and wanted to try France. But when I went to re-choose my team it asked me to pay AGAIN!! Bear in mind the tournament is only 5 games long and all you do it choose a team and some players and that’s literally it. Save yourself £5 and DO NOT BUY THE 6N TOURNAMENT ITS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Good but has issues *2025-05-13, version 1.0.15* Very good but after the beginning of the first season, the transfer window never opens. It says it has opened but when u click on it it says it’s closed. ### 4/5 — Enfin un jeu de rugby manager *2025-04-15* Dommage qu’il n’y est que 3 saisons. Paramètre en français. Renouveau au niveau du centre de formation. Et enfin les niveau montée et descente pour les championnats. Dans l’ensemble un très bon jeu j’ai hâte du 2026 ### 4/5 — Love the game but I have a problem *2025-04-12, version 1.0.14* I love the game my favourite to play but for some random reason when I went on the game I set my team up and subs everything fine then I pressed sim and the game froze.I don’t know why and love to know how to fix it ### 3/5 — Fun but buggy *2025-03-24, version 1.0.14* Really entertaining game - just a few bugs which really hurt the experience. The UI seems not very suited for phones with Dynamic Island and Face ID, too often areas the game wants you to interact with cause e.g the “close app” bar at the bottom get in the way of the UI. Some fixtures (usually one per season) don’t play at all and you have to force quit the app when playing full match. Similarly when making substitutes during lineouts, the game pauses completely and can’t be unpaused, so again you have to force quit the app. If these small bugs could be fixed it would be a much smoother experience. But so much potential! ### 4/5 — Potentiel ÉNORME *2025-03-06* Faites des mis a jour ne laisse pas tomber le jeu, il a un potentiel de fou. Demandez l’avis aux joueurs etc . C’est tellement plaisant déjà alors que l’on pourrait avoir encore mieux. ### 4/5 — Bien. Mais *2025-03-03* Très bon jeu mais il manque de mise à jour intéressantes j’ai quelques idées comme ajouter des clubs comme la pro d2 etc ou aussi faire des joueurs libres de tout contrats ou la possibilité de prêter odes joueurs ou de les avoirs en prêt ou aussi rajouter d’autres ligues et aussi le jeu a beaucoup trop de pub et il y a beaucoup de choses payantes mais sinon le jeu me plaît ### 2/5 — App keeps crashing *2025-02-28, version 1.0.14* App has crashed multiple times when attempting to start a new season / starting a new game / starting a new fixture. Game has been updated and this has still not been resolved. ### 3/5 — Great Potential, middling delivery *2025-02-27, version 1.0.13* This series of games is getting steadily better, its a bit buggy at this point with issues around screens either not loading or getting stuck but the addition of player development mechanic is great. The price however is a bit steep for what you get, £6 for the full game i can just about but then to charge on top for every set move and additional player pack is taking the mickey a bit. Even if you added 4 set moves to that full price game it would make the game far better value for money. ### 2/5 — Good game but freezing *2025-02-26, version 1.0.13* After 4/5 season whenever I press start new season my game freezes even after reloading the game anyone have any way to fix this? ### 4/5 — Rugby manager *2025-02-23, version 1.0.13* Really like the game need a bit more interactiveness and too many ads ### 2/5 — Bug *2025-02-22* À partir de 2028 impossible de passer à la saison suivante alors que j’ai acheté la version complète et l’écran est fixé **Developer response:** Hi, we have fixed all the bugs and we are releasing Rugby Manager 2026 very soon ### 2/5 — Could be good *2025-02-20, version 1.0.12* Played one season and now the transfer window is completely closed. Won’t open again not matter what I try. Was considering buying the fully version but it’s too buggy ### 3/5 — Langue *2025-02-20* Le jeux et bien mais le problème c’est qu’on ne peut pas le mettre en français ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2025-04-16, version 1.0.14* After many in app purchases the app crashed after completing almost completing 1 season. I’ve contacted support via email to request a fix or refund and haven’t received even the courtesy of a response ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-03-28, version 1.0.14* This game freezes all the time, money wasted. I cannot release players in transfer window. On set plays the ball gets thrown straight out of play. ### 1/5 — Freezing *2025-03-05, version 1.0.14* Game keeps getting stuck and once that happens then you have to delete the game and reinstall it again. Problem with that is that you lose everything ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-03-01* Je ne peux plus passer à la prochaine saison l’écran reste bloqué **Developer response:** Hi, we have fixed all the bugs and we are releasing Rugby Manager 2026 very soon ### 1/5 — Pretty much unplayable *2025-02-24, version 1.0.13* When trying to do anything of importance in the game you are met with an ad. The ad then doesn’t load leaving you with a black screen having to continuously close the app just to be met with the same issue when opening it again. ### 1/5 — Too many problems *2025-02-22, version 1.0.12* Spoke to the game developers, assured bugs would be fixed - still waiting. A great game but just completely pointless when the game keeps freezing & transfer window never re-opens after first season. Purchased full version and got nothing in return for my money. ### 1/5 — Don’t spend any money on this *2025-02-20, version 1.0.12* Bought the game and set pieces but after the first season nothing works transfer window is closed all the time and once you start the first friendly the game freezes, and don’t even think you’ll hear anything back after complaining they just don’t care but they take you’re money quick quick ### 1/5 — Waste of Time *2025-02-16, version 1.0.12* Don’t waste your life! So many errors! 1. Created a profile, started a season, closed the app and then when I went back in nothing saved. 2. Scouted and bought players, not one was added to my players list. 3. Not one player I tried to sign accepted, regardless of how much I offered. I tested this out. 4. You can’t pick a captain or kicker, hardly any detail to configure. 5. Biggest challenge is keeping your team morale up. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2025-02-12, version 1.0.11* Purchased the game to get rid of adds, only to end up with a paid app that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-02-11, version 1.0.11* Made in app purchases , and I got to the end of the first season and it just crashes. Unfortunately, don’t waste your money on the full version. Just play the free one until you can no longer endure the constant adverts. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unique *2025-09-21* All I have to say is, this game is very unique and would recommend downloading 👍 ### 5/5 — Le jeu a un potentiel énorme *2025-03-05* Ce jeu a un potentiel énorme vraiment . Un des meilleurs jeu de simulation gratuit offert et il faut encourager l’initiative et le développement . Si je peux rajouter des suggestions : mettre plus de championnat comme la prod2, ajouter dés championnat de seconde division avec système de montée/ descente. Améliorer le système de transfert , améliorer les équipes à leurs vrai niveau actuel. Pour les transferts, avoir des joueurs libres disponibles. ### 5/5 — Rugby manager 25 *2025-03-01* Super jeu rien à dire mais peut être mettre le mode en français et d’autre langue et ajouter la pro d2 qui est quand même le meilleur championnat de deuxième division ### 5/5 — Yeah its good *2024-12-15* pretty addictive ### 5/5 — Really enjoying the game so far! *2024-12-15, version 1.0.6* It’s fun and easy to pick up. Just needs a few more features and the 2D gameplay could be a bit better to make it perfect. ### 5/5 — Addictive and well-made! *2024-12-13* Perfect for rugby fans, especially with the offline mode. ### 5/5 — Absolutely loving this game! *2024-12-13, version 1.0.6* It’s one of the best rugby management games I’ve played, with a solid mix of depth and simplicity that makes it accessible but still challenging. The player training and development are great, and I love watching my team improve season by season. One thing I’d really like to see added is more customization options for teams and players, as well as the ability to expand my stadium. The transfer window is pretty fun, but it would be even better if there were more interactive negotiations with players and clubs. Overall, the game feels realistic, and being able to play offline is a huge plus. This game has so much potential and is already impressive—definitely worth downloading for any rugby fan! ### 5/5 — Best rugby management game *2024-12-12, version 1.0.6* I’ve played on mobile. The player progression is spot on, and the training features keep me coming back. I’d like to see more international tournaments and an expanded scouting system, but still a top game! ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-12-11, version 1.0.6* I wish there was international teams to manege like all blacks ### 5/5 — Worth it if a rugby fan *2024-11-28* Massive credit to the developers here. Not perfect but very well done. Purchased full game for the 2024 game and again for this one. Lots of potential to get even better but very good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
