Always opens with irrelevant ancient scores ### 4/5 — Needs to ad free again *2025-09-12, version 12.9.15* Great app but they’ve added ads which is annoying. ### 3/5 — Less ads pls *2025-08-29, version 12.9.15* Needs less dumb ads. Used to be amazing, but the ads suck. ### 4/5 — Doesn’t include scores of lions games and other rugby int outside championship??? *2025-08-02, version 12.9.15* See title ### 2/5 — Lions tour *2025-07-02, version 12.9.15* No Lions tour detail ### 1/5 — Annoying adds *2025-06-07, version 12.9.15* Need to close the app each time to stop the adds. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-05-29, version 12.9.15* The ads pop up nearly every time you open the app and are then unable to exit it to view the app. Discourages me from using and utilising a different app. The app used to be very user friendly and the best one out there, now not so much ### 3/5 — Lacking other comps *2025-05-20, version 12.9.15* I really wish it had the Shute Shield and Hospital cup ### 2/5 — ADDS ADDS ADDS *2025-04-12, version 12.9.15* I like the app, but it has now become like a gaming platform with adds at every turn. I’ll probably find another one ### 1/5 — Poor quality app *2025-04-12, version 12.9.15* The videos dont load and the quality of updates is very poor ### 1/5 — Adds *2025-04-05, version 12.9.15* Removed app for introduction of adds when clicking on games ### 1/5 — video ads ruined it *2025-03-30, version 12.9.15* video ads ruined it ### 3/5 — Could be better… *2025-03-08* Been using the App for years & it’s been great for Super Rugby & Internationals. Now? Not so much. Where are the internationals? And more importantly - why no more push notifications in settings for my fav teams? Or how about a live update on home screen feature? Needs an update. ### 1/5 — Highlights???? *2025-02-22, version 12.9.15* You need to get this website far better and not only be better for the user, but add value to the game, AFL website is far superior, highlight packages of each game should be at your fingertips ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2025-02-14, version 12.9.15* Unreliable, out of date, doesn’t show current series etc. I mean, why bother if your not going to maintain the site.👎🏻 ### 2/5 — No 6 Nations Results *2025-02-10, version 12.9.15* The greatest Annual Tournament is not featured in your App ! Ridiculous!! ### 1/5 — Awful - used to be good, not anymore *2025-02-03, version 12.9.15* No 6 nations or other international coverage. App used to be up to date and very useful, has been bad for last couple years… so have no choice left but to delete the app and find an alternative ### 3/5 — Northern hemisphere rugby *2024-11-23, version 12.9.15* No scores or Quick Look match results of wallabies or southern hemisphere teams play at the moment ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No content updates in 4 months *2026-02-19, version 12.9.15* I’ve persisted with apps from the developer for a few years now but I’ll be dumping them now. They have a habit of not updating their content for months. Same thing in League Live, EPL Live, Rugby Live. Don’t bother using these apps ### 1/5 — App not like it should be *2026-02-15, version 12.9.15* What’s wrong with this app this season. The scoring action don’t seem to be correct. They put way too many tries in each match and the scoring action doesn’t show up during the match. And why don’t you have 6 nations? ### 1/5 — Very average *2026-01-18, version 12.9.15* This is not even half a decent website It is dated It does not cover a fraction of the rugby being played every week around the world Match Day is a joke What is the alternative?it’s is now 19th Jan and no updates for 3 weeks ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2025-11-16, version 12.9.15* No up to date Scurr’s international games Better apps wise where ### 1/5 — Worst App for the Sport *2025-10-25, version 12.9.15* Genuinely can’t think of a worse preforming app (outside the news section) over the last five years. Consistently slow updates, never correctly showing any international rugby, 4 years in a row the update hasn’t been updated to the current years teams or fixtures at the start of the season… like honestly delete it all and start from scratch. ### 1/5 — Poorly laid out *2025-10-25, version 12.9.15* Difficult to find current games. Old out dated games from previous years. ### 1/5 — Update needed to show internationals *2025-07-18, version 12.9.15* Very hard to navigate, as only some series are showing. Currently unable to see the schedule for international games ### 1/5 — Too hard to find the info needed *2025-07-12, version 12.9.15* Would be really good if it were much easier to find any information about this evening’s Lions vs AUNZ match. ### 1/5 — Very small offering of matches and player information *2025-06-27, version 12.9.15* Such a great opportunity wasted. For a small effort it could be so much better. Where’s the Lions tour? Where’s the Spring tour? Very limited player information. 1 person working for 1 month could add heaps of detail. ### 1/5 — Not enough options *2025-06-23, version 12.9.15* The app is not as good as it was before covid, lack of options and not to mention no fixtures for the Lions tour in Australia for goodness sakes, the NRL app has better options. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — North Tests *2025-11-08, version 12.9.15* Be great if you had the northern tests on your app ### 5/5 — Paul : Sports Fanatic : *2025-06-21* Have relied upon this particular app for all news & results for all World Results, Stats , Breakdiown of all inside Plays as they happened & News. Have come used to having this app over the years. Could not ask for more from a Rugby Union world comps & news. Feel like as if I’m almost their. Please keep up the great work to all that have contributed to this particular World Rugby Union App. Thanking you World Rugby Union Participants Within This App! Never Have I Taken This Particular Rugby Union App For Granted. 5 Stars Well Earnt From This Sports Nut . ### 5/5 — Great App - No updates? *2024-02-18, version 12.9.4* Was a great App but has not updated for a long time with any new tournament data. Not sure what lies ahead here? ### 5/5 — A lifesaver! *2024-02-09, version 12.9.4* I am a FIFO worker and this app keep me in touch with my rugby addiction wherever I am. Awesome app too! Only problem….what is going on with the Match Day info? ### 5/5 — Can you add the NZ NPC league please? *2023-08-20, version 12.9.4* I enjoy your coverage of world rugby - but it is missing the provincial competitions in NZ. The top division is called the Bunnings NPC & lower division is the Heartland. Can you add them ? ### 5/5 — Love Rugby Live *2022-03-05* Love this app it is really well set up and has access to a number of good rugby articles. The only problem is that it takes a while for them to include the new ladders at the beginning of each new season, i.e. Super Rugby Pacific ladder. ### 5/5 — love this app *2021-11-06, version 8.8.10* I now know the score on important matches whenever wherever!! ### 5/5 — Good App *2021-07-25* The only improvement that this App needs is to make the Videos longer, showing more highlights of each match ### 5/5 — I don’t know *2021-06-04, version 8.8.5* Maybe just add some tipping in to it then it will be 6/5 ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-05-27, version 8.8.5* The best rugby union app I used but I hope the Japanese Top-League will be added soon thanks. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
