### 3/5 — Weird ads

*2026-07-11, version 2.18.7*

Good app, works well, but why on earth would we need cringy disgusting foot ads about foot fungus and random people putting olive oil on their feet, like come on.

### 3/5 — Disgusting toe fungus ads

*2026-05-08, version 2.17.5*

The app is good but is filled with really gross ads for some kind of toe fungus treatment. Have had to delete

### 2/5 — Used to be excellent

*2026-02-13, version 2.16.3*

Not sure what is going on, but lately this great app’s performance has slowed down. I suspect it has something to do with all the adds. Free for a while, and now ads galore.

### 2/5 — Gone downhill since sold out to ads

*2026-01-21, version 2.16.3*

No one wants to buy an app that just shows sports scores. Disappointing to see gambling advertising and ads that are not safe for u18s.

### 3/5 — Good overall, ads annoying

*2026-01-17, version 2.16.3*

Love this app for sports updates. In recent months ads have become increasingly annoying & hard to close - reason for 3. Otherwise I’d give it a 5/5.

### 1/5 — New add system is intrusive

*2026-01-10, version 2.16.3*

The new un skipable add system is absolutely garbage, it’s not even implemented properly. Makes me want to move onto other apps. This app used to be good, now it is trash!

### 1/5 — Ruined by Ads

*2026-01-08, version 2.16.3*

Tribe used to be a fantastic app which gave detailed updates. I recommended it to everyone. While still a good app it has far too many adverts and these are too expensive to remove. Now it is a temu version of Sofascore.

### 1/5 — Was very good

*2026-01-07, version 2.16.3*

Time to ditch this app, a concerted (and understandable) push to pay for ad free content, but I now get attacked daily by nasty virus warnings. Enough!

### 2/5 — Good until ads showed up

*2025-12-28, version 2.16.3*

Ads are ruining the app. App freezes when awful ads pops up. Not worth it now, find another app.

### 2/5 — Ally Henderson

*2025-11-30, version 2.16.0*

App almost unusable now since they ramped up at the ads ! Will be deleting

### 3/5 — Basic

*2025-11-22, version 2.16.0*

Would be nice to have more news. It’s a pretty basic app. Pretty absurd they think they can ask for money for this though. But still useful to a point. 

P.S. Needs NHL.

### 1/5 — Gambling advertising sellouts

*2025-11-03, version 2.15.4*

It’s a shame that the app I love has sold out to gambling sponsors. I cannot and will support a company or app that makes money that makes money off of predatory harmful business practices. It is a shame I loved this app a long time ago.

### 1/5 — Latest update unworkable

*2025-10-27, version 2.15.4*

What’s happened to this app? Just freezes and crashes within 30 seconds of opening. Used to be very user friendly now riddled with bugs

### 3/5 — Good app

*2025-08-30, version 2.15.4*

This has been a very useful app. But each update seems to cause issues. Currently “something went wrong trying to fetch data” but it was working fine ten minutes ago.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2025-05-10, version 2.13.0*

The app constantly freezes or won’t load. Deleted it off my phone. Absolute garbage.

### 1/5 — So slow!

*2026-06-14, version 2.18.0*

I’ve loved and used your App for a long time, but it’s become so slow that I just can’t be bothered with it anymore. Very sad as I would love to continue to support it. And yes, even on my new phone it’s too slow

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-06-05, version 2.18.0*

Used to work perfectly but last few weeks it takes forever to synch and even then sometimes it just sticks on the loading wheel. Never used to be an issue. Needs to be sorted out. Would consider paying for the app but not if even when you have watched a video to get 60 mins no ads it is still the same issue.

### 1/5 — Adverts have ruined this great app

*2026-05-19, version 2.17.5*

I loved this application and really wanted to see a NZ company succeed. I completely understand the need to include adverts for free apps, but the ridiculous amount of adverts and pop ups has made this free version unusable. There could be a much better way to include apps that doesn’t restrict the functionality so aggressively. Sofascore is a much better app and I would recommend that people use this (until hopefully tribe can limit the stupid amount of adverts).

### 1/5 — Tribe

*2026-05-16, version 2.17.5*

The app won’t work

### 1/5 — Don’t get if you have a newer iPhone

*2026-05-15, version 2.17.5*

Worked fine until I upgraded to a iPhone 16

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-03-26, version 2.17.3*

Will not open on my iPhone 15

### 1/5 — Been broken for the week.

*2026-03-14, version 2.17.3*

Won’t load anything, fully updated and I’m not the only one with this problem. Please fix

### 1/5 — Ruined with Ads

*2026-02-28, version 2.17.3*

I used to really love this app and the ads weren’t too bad until recently. When you go back to the main screen you’re hit with a full screen ad video EVERY TIME, it also causes the app to crash. they want a monthly or yearly subscription to remove ads temporarily, greedy as, would be fine with a one-off payment but nope can’t have that apparently. I moved on to sofascore now, might be back if they cut out the bs

### 1/5 — Terrible ads

*2026-02-21, version 2.16.3*

Terrible app is now overrun with ads

### 1/5 — Too many bugs now

*2026-01-30, version 2.16.3*

This app was truly a 10/10bit now they have added adds it’s constantly bugs out my phone and crashes my phone rendering it unavailable for up to 20mins, now barely a 1/10

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — An absolutely brilliant and straightforward app

*2025-10-28*

I’m a general sports fan and not a huge user of apps in general (though I’ve tried many of them) but this is one of the best, most straight forward and effective apps I’ve ever used. The live game summaries are excellent along with the ability to control notifications easily and navigate it in general. It is a very straight forward and intuitive app while giving you what you want and need. Whoever developed this app has a real talent for giving the user what they want easily without fuss & without glitch

I cannot recommend this app enough, anyone wanting to track their sport/team in the major codes should make this their go to 👍

### 5/5 — Must use if not from rugby nation

*2025-09-20, version 2.15.4*

I use this in Canada, it’s the only app that provides realtime updates across all competitions and nations.

### 5/5 — Happy long time user

*2025-07-05*

Have used this app since 2020, never disappoints. Great commentary and live updates. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Waltz

*2025-05-04, version 2.13.0*

The only sports app you need, forget the rest

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-28, version 2.13.0*

So so so so so so so so so good it has so many different sports

### 5/5 — Hospital Cup

*2025-03-29, version 2.12.0*

Why is the Hospital Cup not featured on this App?

### 5/5 — Best score tracker

*2025-03-22*

I’ve tried more apps than I care to remember to simply follow my teams. The only improvement I can think of is the ability to load upcoming matches into my phone’s calendar. Great app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app, missing some small things

*2025-03-12, version 2.11.3*

Love the app, best sports app out there. just wish it had live activities.

### 5/5 — Love my sports.

*2025-02-04, version 2.9.0*

Access to all live sport thru Tribe is so good. Love my football and refuse to give skytv my money. Cheers Tribe. 🤍

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-02-01, version 2.9.0*

It’s all been said in the other reviews. It’s just great. Is there any chance of having Formula 1 included?  That would elevate it from great to perfect (for me).
