### 1/5 — Overpriced Junk

*2026-07-26, version 1.9.6*

Barely works and when it does it repeatedly jumps to random parts of a match

### 1/5 — Overseas and unable to watch.

*2026-07-23, version 1.9.6*

I’ve paid for a month and the app is telling me I don’t have an active subscription!  The experience should be way smoother than this.

### 1/5 — Absolute waste of time - Just a scam machine

*2026-07-18, version 1.9.6*

Watch AFL is, without question, one of the worst apps ever for AFL. It has been far away from broadcasting, and it is best at being a sandpit of cyberattacks disguised as a “streaming service.” You only be far away from watching AFL because you get lashed by this so called “login,” as even if you enter your correct credentials, it just says invalid. The same happens when you enter in “forget password.”

Worse, the so called “subscribe now” has only Australian dollars, making the app a joke. The app exists solely to make money thanks to its downright issues winning over users rather than give users a fun experience. Meanwhile, it genuinely feels like the creator poured all their inner greed to make this extremely backfired.

Because of these, this app is just a useless scam machine. If you want a fun pack of AFL coverages, look elsewhere. Also, I’ve left tons of reviews, and I do it again because the app never fixes anything.

Avoid this slugged rubbish at all costs and use Australian VPN broadcasts instead - this slugged rubbish is just a disgrace to AFL broadcasting.

### 1/5 — WatchAFL geoblock even though I’m overseas

*2026-07-05, version 1.9.6*

I’m overseas (in Greece, BTW AFL, part of the EU, and been around for 2500 years).  I can’t access the game either on Starlink or on Greek 5G. It says it is only available “outside Australia”. I AM outside Australia.  I’ll bring you back a yiros if you respond to this, because I’m willing to bet you won’t.

### 1/5 — Afl with Never be international

*2026-06-27, version 1.9.6*

travelling overseas for four weeks wanted to watch my AFL team play whilst away.  The AFL have an agreement where they’ve blocked Foxtel in Kayo from streaming overseas and charge €20 a week for Watch AFL.   But not only is this  a slap in the face for Australian AFL supporters travelling overseas it is doing the AFL game as a whole service by not giving people overseas whether Australians or from other countries the ability to watch this wonderful game very narrow minded AFL

### 1/5 — Such a bad service

*2026-06-18, version 1.9.6*

So disappointing! I’ve been trying to watch the footy overseas. The service is constantly interrupted and then won’t continue games. Have reverted to free-to-air footy on 7+ which works a charm.

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2026-06-14, version 1.9.6*

$70 a month and you have about a 40% chance of watching a game live and the app actually working. Otherwise you just get error messages and the email support staff are not helpful. Don’t bother just wait till you get home or find another vpn work around

### 1/5 — Be careful - plans roll

*2026-06-13, version 1.9.6*

They don’t tell you this in signup (almost misleading)   but the plans roll so when you get back to Australia handy to have a plan for something that doesn’t work in Australia. App failed multiple times overseas and only way was to watch was download and watch latter. Another fox sports app / process that is misleading and poor in execution and really just doesn’t work. For the money they charge we should expect better.

### 2/5 — User

*2026-06-12, version 1.9.6*

Doesn’t work that well
Now telling me I have to be overseas to use the service!
Expensive and not reliable

### 1/5 — Poor service, threats from support

*2026-06-07*

The game replays are absolutely inconsistent, sometimes they include commentary between quarters, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they include the winners singing their song, sometimes they don’t. They really need to hire some better editors. When I wrote to support asking what was going on, they threatened to cancel my account for complaining.
