### 1/5 — Broken after recent update

*2024-03-11*

Required to be used by USA Rugby but the app doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — White screen issues

*2024-03-08*

I get a white screen when trying to open the app after using and have to delete and reinstall the app. Very frustrating especially now our union is requiring rosters and scoring through the app. Is there a customer support line for this?

### 1/5 — Indicative of Rugby Australia’s total lack of care

*2023-10-17*

Quite possibly the worst app known to man kind. Why do I need to delete and reinstall every time I need to update anything for my team?

### 1/5 — Freezes - rubbish

*2023-05-31*

Freezes and needs to be deleted and re installed all the time. Very unhelpful mid match

### 1/5 — This is why Rugby in Australia is screwed

*2021-09-18*

I downloaded the app to find I have to sign in. Fair enough. 
But there is nowhere to sign up on the app. You must already have a password etc on page one. Stupid!!!
And that is why Rugby Australia is hopeless.

### 1/5 — A spreadsheet would be better than this

*2019-08-07*

Good idea but poorly executed. It wastes more time than if it did not exist. Not intuitive at all

### 1/5 — Can’t see anything

*2019-05-25*

So frustrating that it won’t load the team it’s all blank.

### 1/5 — Bring back rugbylink

*2019-05-20*

Really miss the desktop UI. Rugbylink wasn’t great, but being able to manage a team on a full size screen was a real benefit.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2019-05-19*

I too cannot use this app, also a manager for the team, all I get is blank everything. Quite annoying.

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish

*2019-05-13*

So slow and clunky to use. An 8 year old could have designed a more user friendly App. Perhaps the people expected to use it should have been consulted before developing this rubbish

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2019-05-12*

Hi rugby Rugby Australia.
First of all great idea in being innovative by producing this app...........

HOWEVER: my club is trying to get the data set up in my profile. My club have provided the correct permission but I am still not able to see anything when logged in. I currently don’t get any data. So this means I can’t score the game, add my team list, track the game. 
I am the manager of the team and I can’t do a thing. 
When I called for assistance I was advised it’s not Rugby Australia issue and the clubs to sort out. 
I am sorry but this is your issue. Please help so I can complete my duties as the team manager.

### 1/5 — Fix the Clock!

*2019-05-11*

The clock is a great idea but it stops working when your device locks!!!
So I’m now running a team sheet, the App and a separate stop watch.
Clock also couldn’t be reset correctly for half time.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2019-05-08*

Can’t run in the background! If you turn your phone off or switch to another app, the clock stops! You can’t score for another team without duplicating the score. Changes to player list isn’t sorted by number. Subbing players is cumbersome. Fixing incorrect entries is possible but not intuitive - it’s in the feed.

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2026-05-29, version 5.3.9*

This whole app and the other explorer app is terrible if I could give it no stars I would. Massive step backwards from the old rugby nz app. New Zealand rugby needs an app for all not one that works for a few

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-15, version 5.3.8*

Can’t even score a game because it only shows “currently not available”

### 1/5 — Please review and fix

*2025-07-18*

Every weekend I have to delete and re download the app to be able to score the game. Please fix this

### 1/5 — Rugby match day

*2025-07-17, version 5.3.3*

Rubbish I can’t submit a team because it doesn’t show team manager or coach. And the admin can’t sort it out.

### 1/5 — Avg at best

*2025-06-02*

A true reflection of how invested the air in grassroots rugby.

### 1/5 — Same issue as other review. Pain in the a**!

*2025-03-25*

Now twice could not load data like rosters or schedules and had to reinstall. Garbage app that USA rugby needs to ditch. Just find a developer of one of the many smooth running team platforms!

### 1/5 — Absolutely Terrible

*2025-02-21*

Have to delete and reinstall the app after every use, this app is absolutely useless.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-09-20*

Can’t see matches for the team I’m an an admin for. Just a useless app.

### 1/5 — The idea of the App is good but that’s it.

*2024-07-10*

Considering the app is a requirement of Rugby Australia. They need to address issues on game day when in areas of low data. This issue resulted in the team photos not loading and the game being put in dispute by junior rugby officials. Who then declared our team forfeit. This App is killing community Rugby.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2024-05-12*

Won’t show my team. Can’t log out. Need to delete and log back in.

### 3/5 — Times bing entered

*2023-05-07*

Hey Rugby Australia, look I love that you have endeavoured to make this app innovative and its good in some ways but it could be better.  It would be nice that at player movements and at reporting scoring that you had a “now” button that would enter the current time instead of having to actively have to enter the current time instead of having to type it freehand every time.

### 2/5 — App reset

*2025-05-21*

App always needs to be closed and reset if left idle. Very painful on game day when submitting scores

### 2/5 — Some good bones basic and glitchy

*2025-05-09*

The app is a requirement for many community volunteers who donate their time and considering the comments in the community and in the App Store it does require work. Bugs need to be ironed out and some of the suggestions here implemented. Things like Face ID, adding the now option for injury and subs, filtering lists to remove positions already allocated, ability to change positions for added players and using full screen lists rather than small windows when popping up lists of players to choose from. I would be interested how this app would go against current accessibility standards. So good bones but considering you expect volunteers to donate their time to use it please make it much better and reliable.

### 2/5 — Gm

*2025-04-05, version 5.2*

Still keeps crashing - so frustrating

### 2/5 — not working - bug

*2024-05-07*

app bugged three times with a pop up screen that quits before fully loading and reopens again before im able to view the matchday app. happens simultaneously and im now trying a fourth and final time😂 good thing im not epileptic

### 2/5 — Recommendation

*2020-07-31*

Just a suggestion!

Once the teams have been submitted by both clubs there should be an ability for the team managers to view submitted list from the other team

### 2/5 — Typical

*2019-06-19, version 2.2*

All in all this is symptomatic of what we get from the Admin of this code. This app only serves the interest of the administrators; there are no tools for the volunteers / managers / coaches nor any useful (or any) statistics available for us to pull out. Time for a clean sweep.
