Overpriced, streaming errors and poor customer service
I was unable to watch parts of the AFL grand final fourth quarter (Brissy vs Freo) with the app displaying no content available. Similar issues with streaming throughout the year as well with glitches and errors while trying to stream games . Contacted the support team and their solution was to offer me a free week in November when there isn’t even AFL games on?!

Load of garbage
Bought the finals package as I am overseas and wanted to watch the gf with family. It would not stream at all despite re-logging in and changing password. Had to listen on ABC radio instead. Wrote to them requesting a refund and was refused. They offered to extend for a month, which is great considering the season has finished. Garbage app. Garbage company

Embarrassingly bad
Full of bugs. Worst of all If you try to watch the replay of a match that is still being broadcast - even if it’s finished - you may or may not get the option to watch from the start of the match. And if you chose to watch from the start, it may just play live, spoiling the game for you. It’s happened for years, can’t believe they can’t fix it. Lazy programming

Brisbane v Hawks Match Doesn’t Work
The live link dos not work
Immediately spoiled the result
Started playing the post match coverage, spoiling the result. I want a refund
Tip for everyone
Agree that this app is very disappointing for the price but do yourself a favour and get a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Had nothing but issues trying to watch and cast over wi-fi to a TV (blurring and constant freezing) but the moment we used an adapter it worked perfectly!
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.
