This App/Service is an Embarrassment.
A premium price for a low quality, slapped together garbage app/service full of bugs and inconveniences.
If you click on a game displaying FULL TIME after the match is technically finished and the 'Live‘ banner is gone (but the post game interview/commentary is still happening live), you’ll be taken straight to the live feed revealing the final scores, thus defeating the purpose for an expat wanting to watch the game on delay NOT knowing the result. Before you click on the game, there’s nothing to indicate the feed is still live, or that the match has been subsequently edited into it’s condensed form.
You have to wonder if anyone is even employed to oversee the operation of this app/service, or work on the user experience. It feels like a farce!

Absolutely dispiciole
I've missed countless games including watching my own team in the finals due to app bugs. Unfortunately the price is exuberant and there is no alternative. Be better watch afl.
Sorry, error has occurred
Content asset not available. Please try again. iPad iOS m1. Been such a poor app for so long.
Just horrible
Extremely overpriced and a horrible app, thought we wanted more international fans?
Overpriced Junk
Barely works and when it does it repeatedly jumps to random parts of a match
Overseas and unable to watch.
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.
Absolute waste of time - Just a scam machine
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.

WatchAFL geoblock even though I’m overseas
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.

Afl with Never be international
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

Such a bad service
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.
Barely works
$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
Be careful - plans roll
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.

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

Poor service, threats from support
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.

Worst app ever
Constantly has issues of streams not working, chromcast support drops. Horrible horrible support.
Wish there was other options

Love the app
Love the App. But still glitchy and as other reviewer has said; Sometimes winner is revealed before watching replay. Extremely annoying.
Poor
Needs improvement badly, every time you select “watch from start” the app will flash to live for a moment and show scores live. Often errors, last night both games would not play on match selection, all that would play is a two minute betting discussion.
Horrible app
This app has been responsible for ruining over a dozen games for me. I live in the U.S. so it’s one of the only ways Incan watch footy. It consistently shows coverage at the end of a game instead of the start even when I choose the start and not live. Also, the fast forwarding and rewinding is extremely poor if you have to do it for any more than a few seconds.
Major fail.

Awful
This app is horrible for another year.
I’ve put on a game to watch and it is actually a different game? When I tried to access it by pressing the game that was incorrectly loaded, it wasn’t it either. No game.
The user interface couldn’t be worse. How is it that you can’t scrub forward?
Lazy design. No one would think this is an acceptable solution. The game should be loaded from the first bounce and when paying this much, it shouldn’t be loaded with commercials.
I vowed a couple of years back not to pay for it again - I should’ve listened to myself
EDIT! App goes from worse to worse. Trying to watch a game live and all I’m getting is some stupid ‘In the back pocket’ betting show? Tried many times to watch either game live. There’s no chance this app could be worse. And no way to contact support to fix this 😡
