Can’t use the app. Delete, reinstall. Still the same. Review subscription. Still the same. The content might be excellent, but I can’t tell. Please make sure the app works before asking paid subscribers for money. Crikey. ### 2/5 — Ridiculous amount of adds and pop-up. *2023-08-12, version 3.0.46* Why all the adds when you pay for a premium addition??? ### 4/5 — avis sur ultimate rugby pro *2023-05-20* tres bonne application mais j'enleve une etoiles car logo pas a jour , probleme de connexion compte et impossibilite d'avoir l'application en francais quand c'est soucis seront corriger la 5 eme etoiles sera arriver mais merci aux devellopeurs pour l'appli qui est top dans l'ensemble ### 4/5 — Great App *2022-06-26* What a superb app, very informative but, I can’t give it 5 stars because just had an email to tell me the £9:99 per year subscription is going up by £10:00 to £19:99 per year. Absolutely ridiculous price hike. All you’ll do is alienate your subscribers. Please listen. ### 3/5 — Good app but stop the payment prompts *2021-11-21* It’s a good app for keeping up to date with scores etc, however it’s really annoying that every time you drill down to a match detail it keeps advertising the payment options and forcing you to click on restore purchase. If you’ve paid you should have to keep doing this **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback. Please can you email rick@ultimaterugby.com so we can get this bug sorted. Thanks ### 2/5 — Not opening *2021-05-06, version 2.6.3* For some reason it is failing to open on my IPad, where it once did. On the phone it is fine, except preferred the old format ### 3/5 — Can’t turn off scores *2021-04-03* Very good, apart from the fact that you can only look at it if you’re 100% up-to-date with all recent games. So many sports apps, you can turn off the scores, but not this. And before they respond with the usual “please contact support”, I’ll just say that I contacted their support twice about this over the years and had no reply both times. That’s pretty bad for a subscription app. ### 3/5 — Still the best but more difficult to navigate *2021-03-08* This is still the best rugby fixture, analysis app I have found. One I use nearly everyday, pre-match, whilst watching matches and then post match. For the value it gives me I am happy with my subscription. The 5.0.5 update takes some getting used to (like double tapping the matches icon on the bottom tab bar to switch between favourites and all matches). However, the Match page is much harder to navigate. Previously, information was available on tabs so more clicks in the traditional way. Now a lot more of the information is on a single page. Less clicks but more scrolling! And if you get your presses in one of the table views, you can end up scrolling within the view instead of down the page. This makes the two bits of information I use the most much harder to get at quickly - the match score/event timeline and the Line Ups. My suggestion would be to link to the score/event timeline when you press the score at the top of the page. This would make it quicker to access the timeline (without needing to scroll down). I would also suggest the lineups table view expands or contracts if you just press the Squads header so you don’t have to search for the small expand/reduce button. **Developer response:** Hi Jimmi D thank for the feedback. Will take suggestions onboard and see what we can do. All the best ### 2/5 — Progress ?????no not really *2021-03-06* I cannot see the scores of matches played yesterday within the league I selected without making more selections. When I display matches I get leagues that are not in my favourites??? And like a few other posters I am not really impressed by your decision to reinsert ads when I paid to get them removed **Developer response:** Hi Welshjohn Thanks for getting in touch. Our latest update has improved the favourites functionality. The app will now default to your last view of the match list. You can also use the match icon to toggle between all games and just your favourites games. We are not showing ads at all. Those blocked content images you are seeing will be removed in the next update. I am sorry about that small bug. If you have anymore feedback please can you email RIck@ultimaterugby.com ### 2/5 — Great to begin with, now expensive *2019-12-26* Great app to begin with and happy to subscribe to pro version initially. As of yesterday subscription ended, and app now unstable. Can subscribe again for £8.99 for 6 months then over £20 a year! Become a bit of a con unfortunately. ### 2/5 — Dark Mode Broken *2019-10-03* When dark mode enabled the calendar fixture lists aren’t visible as the foreground text and background is white! We pay a premium for this app, iOS 13 betas been out for ages. Expect at least basic testing by the devs. Sort it out! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The latest version supports the iPhone X and the Plus size devices. All the best ### 2/5 — Had it all *2019-03-30* This app has more than any other rugby app out there. BUT I started with the free app, moved to the paid app and now they ask for subscription. This would be fine if they were adding more content and not taking anyway from the other apps. But it’s the down scaling of the paid app that is hard to take. I understand apps need subscriptions but this was not done well. The load time for the app has increased hugely and often forgets my login and preferences. There seems a bit to improve in the load time and back end. But still this app is the most comprehensive rugby app on the market. I still use it but not exclusively anymore and certainly not their subscription. A great idea turned into a reasonable app. **Developer response:** Hi Tim I really appreciate your feedback. We are busy increasing and improving our subscriber only content. Please could you email any thoughts or suggestions to rick@ultimaterugby.com so we can get working on them. ### 3/5 — Extremely slow to start up *2019-01-09* The app (pro version) has become very slow to launch sometimes. I have seen it take more than a minute (unacceptable) although this is inconsistent. I am not sure but it may be related to how long it was since the last time I opened it. **Developer response:** Thanks for getting in touch We have worked hard to fix the loading speed so if you have any more issues please contact rick@ultimaterugby.com and we will help you. enjoy the rugby ### 1/5 — SERIOUSLY? *2018-10-20, version 2.0.19* are you serious guys… seriously? you're going to lock the TEAM SHEETS behind a paywall?? you will never, ever, ever get a cent out of me with these pure moronic frustration tactics to push people towards a payment scheme. Take your subscription and stuff if right the way up your arses. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2018-07-22* For the price, would expect it to be perfect. However it doesn’t update the widget automatically, doesn’t take into account all selected favourites, just not good enough. Didn’t even give me last nights England 7s result. Will not renew. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Taking the mickey *2025-07-19, version 3.0.46* Used to be good, now clunky and hiding features behind an ever increasing paywall ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2021-05-14, version 3.0.12* I think that’s misleading. Put a price of £3.99 for a ‘pro’ version and it turns out the app is actually unusable without the £23.99 annual subscription. Poor form! ### 1/5 — Good content, very poor app. *2020-01-03* The gestures in the app are inconsistent with native iOS gestures (swipe from the left to go back for example). I also find it incredible that there isn’t a “go to today” button on the main fixtures screen. I find myself scrolling through future fixtures with no easy way to return to today apart from scrolling all the way back. One more thing to add is that viewing a line-up simply shouldn’t qualify as a “premium” feature. Using this app is an annoyance that I’ve now just downloaded the individual app for each respective tournament that I follow. Instead of enticing me to sign up for premium I’ve just been totally put off. **Developer response:** Thanks for the getting in touch. We are working hard on improving the user experience and have a much improved app on the way. If you have any other queries or suggestions please email rick@ultimaterugby.com ### 1/5 — App seems to be in serious decline *2019-11-08, version 2.5.2* This used to be a great app but it has declined severely in the last year. You can’t get live scores as you get with other apps. The live commentary is really poor and slow (often 10-15 minutes behind with no regular feed) (I believe they ask certain users to provide commentary?). One good thing is their player detail. If you click on a player (they mostly get the players right) then there is pictures and useful information. They also don’t respond to any user queries or suggestions. One senses that the app is in decline and they stopped working on it. Tried to discuss it with them but there’s no way of talking to them. Not worth spending money on. I now use a combination of two other apps to get live scores and teak info. It’s a real pity as I thought this was the ultimate rugby app, only to be let down. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work anymore *2019-09-05, version 2.2.3* This app doesnt work anymore and not l=kept up to date, dont waste your money ### 1/5 — Widget doesn’t update *2019-04-07, version 2.1.1* So I can pay for the subscription version. Not only does the widget not update automatically but trying to contact the developer results in a server error. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Very very disappointing *2019-03-08, version 2.1.1* What a disappointment!! Really cant’t seem to tell the difference between Ultimate Rugby and Ultimate Rugby Pro. Definitely not worth puchasing!! ### 1/5 — Avoid *2018-12-26, version 2.0.22* Can’t seem to unsubscribe, why? ### 1/5 — Horrible changes *2018-11-23* This used to be my go to for rugby info. There’s not really a lot of internet providers for the overseas games I want to watch, so I downloaded the lite version. Eventually I decided I really liked the app and got the pro version. This was my go to app for years and now I have to pay a monthly subscription for information of the squad? Ridiculous and won’t be using this app anymore. **Developer response:** Thanks for touching base As we continue to increase our coverage it was necessary to add a premium section to the app. 80% of our content is still available for free.We are continuously adding more and better stats for our Ultimate Rugby + subscribers. All the best ### 1/5 — DISHONEST. Pay $6 for pro now requesting $30 if I want access for the year. *2018-10-30* I used this app happily for two years, allowing me to stay in touch with the goings on of other international competitions. The app then told me I wasn’t allowed to continue this access that I had become accustomed to. Requesting a payment of $6 to continue using the app as I had been for the past two years. Now a year later and without finding anything that compares to the access this app provides, I have paid the $6 they requested from me. Only to find that I am now in the exact same position I was in a year ago, only this time, $6 out of pocket. They are now advising if I wish to use the app as I did previously for “free” for two years, $60 is the price. Now this is obviously an absurd amount and I will have to delete the app and try again to find another. Writing this so others don’t fall for this ruse. **Developer response:** Thanks for touching base As we continue to increase our coverage it was necessary to add a premium section to the app. 80% of our content is still available for free.We are continuously adding more and better stats for our Ultimate Rugby + subscribers. All the best ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-18, version 3.0.46* Very happy with the app! Player profiles is something you can’t get in any other app! Also the push notifications on news and match kickoffs! ### 5/5 — Its by miles the best out there *2021-03-05* I grudged it going up to £20 a year. So didn’t have it for so long. But finally decided to pay for it and it is amazing. If you are a rugby stato it’s a dream and they guys that make it know and love rugby. So stop banging on about paying £20 for it. Why should it be free? Obviously tones of work goes into it and the features are miles better than the free version. Well done guys. **Developer response:** Frankie thanks for taking the time to give us a review. Enjoy the rugby and if you have any feedback please email rick@ultimaterugby.com ### 5/5 — UR review *2021-01-20, version 2.6.3* As a rugby fan, this app is fantastic. Having all the information pertaining to leagues, fixtures, players and the latest news at one’s fingertips brings one closer to the game. ### 5/5 — No other rugby app comes close. *2021-01-11, version 2.6.3* Love the in game stats and is the most detailed rugby app out there with player bios. Covers all the top leagues. ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-12-07* A fantastic app for real rugby fans **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 star review. Enjoy the rugby! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2017-06-15, version 1.3.0* Great app- amazing source of information. In tee is of improvements, adding to the coaches and referees to the database / profiles for games, and making them searchable would make the data set complete! Keep up the brilliant work. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-10-19* Love the coverage of the different championships/tours and info provided during games etc ### 5/5 — Top Stuff *2016-10-04* This app is the best rugby app I've ever used! Always up to date with scores and news. Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Even PRO Rugby USA *2016-04-25* It has PRO Rugby USA. One thing is that PRO Rugby standings are not showing Bonus Points. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-02-24, version 1.1.5* Great little app especially if you love rugby. I have to agree the advertising can be a little annoying/aggressive. That's said still spot on. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
