## Newest reviews (18 of 96)

### 2/5 — Hard to navigate

*2026-06-20, version 7.0.46*

Just not user friendly or up to the standard of other sports

### 2/5 — This app is not easy to use

*2026-04-28, version 7.0.44*

It wouldn’t take much to make this app slightly easier to use. It’s hard to check fixtures for when your favourite super rugby team plays and even harder to check fixtures for when my children’s teams are playing.

### 1/5 — Referee

*2026-04-06, version 7.0.43*

Annoying to use on an iPad as it only shows half the information. Difficult to navigate. Annoying we have to use it.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-13, version 7.0.38*

Never works

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-02-12, version 7.0.38*

You have to go out and back in to get a score update

### 1/5 — Won’t refresh.

*2026-01-13, version 7.0.36*

Have to shut app down and re open it every time.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2025-11-25, version 7.0.33*

Wants me to update but actually won’t allow me to update

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2025-11-24, version 7.0.33*

Can’t us as can’t update

### 1/5 — Hire someone

*2025-11-08*

Please, hire someone to make a functional app. You force us to use this for everything. And it was built by a high school computer class.

### 2/5 — Abandonware?

*2025-09-20, version 7.0.29*

The app appears out of date and a mess. Really sad that there isn’t a single decent app for Australian rugby union fans to use to follow TRC, Super Rugby Pacific and Super Rugby AUS. Might have to find some decent apis and make it myself. I can’t even find the current TRC season in the comp list, the one in there is showing me matches from a previous year but then randomly it actually has the next match (next weekend) but it’s in there as part of round 5 of the 2024 season… if I select western force in my teams page and check fixtures it shows as empty despite them playing today. It shows no prior or future matches of either Super Rugby comps.

### 1/5 — The crappiest

*2025-09-13*

I have to delete the app and redownload it every single time I want to use it because it goes blank every time I open it. It’s the most inconvenient thing I’ve ever NEEDED to use. Despise this app.

### 1/5 — Bad rugby app

*2025-08-31, version 7.0.28*

Doesn’t load or work half the time for rugby Au. Terrible app, do
Better.

### 1/5 — terrible app

*2025-08-22, version 7.0.28*

Terrible app not fit for purpose!

### 2/5 — Informative BUT

*2025-08-07, version 7.0.26*

Needs quite a bit more work. Under “My Teams” there is no way to edit or delete teams or move my favourites up to be more easily accessible. 😞

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2025-07-18, version 7.0.26*

Constantly have to delete app and install it for it to work.  Happens to so many rugby parents I know. Frustrating.

### 1/5 — Absolutely not fit for purpose

*2025-07-03, version 7.0.25*

Absolute rubbish app. Keeps crashing, needing to restart phone.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-06-08, version 7.0.23*

Nz rugby replaced junior scoring with this app and now for the whole year we can’t see scores of our teams or anyone else for U11 and down. No time on when it’ll be fixed or if it’ll be fixed by the time the seasons finished super disappointed

### 2/5 — App crashes

*2025-06-08, version 7.0.23*

Almost everytime you reopen the app it crashes. It has a white screen & wont load. Frustrating when kids play loads of rugby.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The most useless app ever!

*2026-07-18, version 7.0.47*

If I could give Zero stars I would. 
It does not matter how many times I remove US and AUS teams and set favourites for the teams to comps I want to follow, it immediately resets and I don’t even have the option of the Comps in the drop down menu. NZ rugby should have stayed with Sporty.

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2026-06-20, version 7.0.46*

App is terrible! It seems to be the Temu version of MyCricket.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-06-19, version 7.0.46*

This has been a terrible replacement for what was used previously for Nz rugby.  Logs you out all the time, info you don’t need, need to add teams all the time.

### 1/5 — Very poor UX

*2026-06-02, version 7.0.46*

RA you can do better.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2026-05-14, version 7.0.45*

Imagine RA didn’t pay Israel Falou 7 million dollars and spent the money on IT.

### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish App

*2026-05-10, version 7.0.45*

This app has been around for 7 years and is still not fit for purpose. Why did NZ Rugby force clubs to use this when Sporty was doing the job perfectly. Whoever is responsible for this should resign and apologise to all those that have had to use this app. NZ Rugby…GO BACK TO SPORTY ASAP!

### 1/5 — Needs soooo much work

*2026-05-07, version 7.0.45*

I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t have to. It’s clunky the UI is all over the show. There’s no semblance at all to it. You have to keep signing into the app all the time.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2026-04-29, version 7.0.44*

WORST TEAM MANAGEMENT app i’ve ever used. So confusing and iver complicated alot of the details like why fo you need to know my body weight. If your think about using this app. PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2026-04-23*

I had to download this just for my rugby club, spent 1 hour registering an account to my team simply because the app requires you to delete and redownload it every time you close out of it. You are also going to get a lot of errors in every inconvenient situation. I wouldn’t recommend anyone using this app.

### 1/5 — User interface 0 stars

*2026-04-15, version 7.0.43*

Impossible to find a club and the age group scores and schedule. Someone was smoking so good stuff when they designed this app.

### 5/5 — Rugby Xplor

*2025-07-17, version 7.0.26*

This is a great app for your team fans which can’t go to games but wanna see the scores I give 100/100

### 5/5 — Really good

*2024-09-23, version 6.9.3*

I love that u can see what’s coming up and the past

### 5/5 — Epic

*2020-09-01, version 3.4*

10/12

### 5/5 — Don’t work on iPod touch

*2019-08-08, version 2.7*

All it does is just stop on the opening thing

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-05-17, version 2.6*

Awesome everything I need.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-08-17, version 2.1*

Everything I need in one spot

### 5/5 — Problem Resolved Now Works Fine

*2018-08-04*

I have tried numerous times to load the home page but the images just won’t load. I’m just going to google it from now on. I just can’t be bothered trying another one.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Apologies for the issues you experienced over the weekend, there was an outage on the website that feeds the news stories which has now been resolved.  If you close and open the app now you should see it operating as normal.  Please let us know if you continue to experience issues.

Thank you

### 3/5 — Not great. Needs a revamp

*2026-06-10, version 7.0.46*

Logs the user out after a while and all teams selected disappear and need to be added again. Old comps are still on the list- need to remove those. Score does not refresh unless the user leaves the app and opens it again. Says “opps something has gone wrong” when there is an error- not hard to spell “oops” correctly.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2024-07-06, version 6.4*

App cannot handle the match day traffic . Have to re download app constantly

### 3/5 — App quality reflects the state of Aus rugby

*2024-07-06, version 6.4*

The app has weird bugs and says stuff like “keyboard_arrow_left” at the top of the screen.  I hope they didn’t spend more than $5000 on the creation of this app.
