APPLE TV
Lads, it’s been 4 years. How in the name of Christ have you not made an Apple TV app yet?
Very poorly designed app
In Australia this is the only way to watch South African teams play. The app however is very poor - the titles of the games do not include dates so it’s a hit and miss to see if you have the latest games to watch. Also shortened replays- mini matches are 20 minutes… that a mini short. There is no option of a highlight vid that’s more representative of the game so you need to watch the whole replay. Am not happy with this app. Lately am also not able to airplay onto TV …

Costly subscription
Monthly subscription is not monthly. It is a season pass in which you pay every month for the whole season. I was tricked into this last season.
Terrible app
Does not cast. Laggy, slow. Not dependable. Extremely unhappy that this is the only platform to watch URC in Australia. How can I rate in the negative.
Worst app/sports investment I ever made
I came back (believe it or not! See below) & signed up for end of 23/24 season (short ) subscription, but no more. Now got an email saying it will auto renew ( never requested!) tried to cancel but impossible via app or via login on their site (there is no ‘manage my subs‘ button as promised by them. Have resorted to writing to ‘support’. BEWARE: these guys are NOT ETHICAL; trust me, this is my umpteenth interaction with them.
I came back (after about a year) to see if anything had changed/improved (see my previous review below); sadly, from new reviews, it appears not! This is such a poor advert for Ireland (& obviously RTE) & the URC (how they CAN allow this to continue beats me!) given how strong Irish rugby is at present. The URC is such a good comp, PLEASE GIVE OTHER PROFESSIONAL CHANNELS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING THE RIGHTS TO BROADCAST THIS! (Review from 2023): My suggestion, BEFORE you pay $$s for this rubbish app read every review you can. From here in Australia the app and URC TV via browser are truly hopeless. I watch sport via Fox/Kayo and Stan Sport and SBS - all in HD quality and all excellent in the way they deliver product. I regretfully paid upfront for an annual subscription; to URC but so wish I had not. I contacted them directly to complain and when they eventually responded the first reaction was blaming my browser and internet connection etc! Once we’d put that to bed they eventually agreed with all my assertions but haven’t actually fixed the important stuff set out in this note. It locks up; it’s fuzzy/blurry when you watch other than a thumbnail. Whatever you do, DO NOT watch something then try to pause and watch later, you’ll get the now infamous URC TV spinning blue dots. I end up watching URC games via highlights on YT or via other ‘pirate’ channels. If you watch via the app it will often lock up. When you switch to the browser version it’ll tell you its open elsewhere so won’t let you watch; so, you’re stuck. I was forced to allocate at least one star to be able to write this review; I don’t think it’s worth that.
