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

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 😡

Trash

Keep pushing random gambling ads and watch this tank

Dissatisfaction

No response from customer care. Very disappointing

Poor in app functionality

I am grateful to have an app to watch AFL. The app developers seem to be lazy though and dont update and refine the app regularly. So many bugs and crashes. For example of you have the game playing in minimized screen, and then re-enter app to go full screen, the game crashes. Super annoying. Additionally the ‘round’ is never defaulted to current, its always last week as default so you manually have to go change it to current round its tedious but some minor ipdates can improve it.

This app is garbage

Even when I download the game, the app will randomly reset back to the start of the game. Trying to scrub the timeline is frustrating and let’s not talk about the teeny tiny playback control buttons in the bottom left of the UI. You have to keep pressing to seek forward/back before the controls hide again. Whoever developed this interface should be fired.

Good but…

Have a subscription through my international membership, and I love the access it gives me. Very rarely have trouble with streaming, and enjoy watching some of the shows. However, the lack of updating on the main screen is incredibly frustrating. The Live & Upcoming section shows matches that are weeks old, same with the Match Replays and Latest Shows. As such, you have to go hunting for what you want to watch. (It’s March 22 as I write this, and the “latest show” is from March 2, the replays are pre-season games, and the “live & upcoming” games are from Opening Round.)

Worst app ever

Don’t let the “chromecast support” fool you. There is none. Suggestion from support was to just watch on a tablet??? Because that’s why I own an 85” TV…

Don’t waste your time. But a VPN and watch it that way.

The app does not work

Can’t watch anything on it, get an error every time. Charge an arm and a leg and you genuinely can’t watch anything on the app and have to use a computer. Ridiculous.

download!

i had it deleted it for storage re-downloaded it when there was space but it never downloaded it just loaded and loaded and loaded and loaded and loaded and again and again but good afl is best and it finally downloaded

Essential for overseas viewing

High quality, live footy every game, full fox footy access, rewatches and shorts for all games. Way better then kayo and vpn combos

Bugs bugs bugs

Been enough years for afl to get it right. So many bugs especially when casting to tv through iOS or chrome cast. Video controls horrible.

App doesn’t work and charges you for 0 additional content

The app never works, it either does not show any matches when they are currently live or the app will refuse to connect to your TV - I had this issue across 3 different tvs. In order to fix these issues you’re expected to delete and redownload and turn your device on and off to supposedly get it working which never works. Following these methods gets very tiresome when you are required to do this multiple times a game.
Support also won’t respond to problems about the app. For $50 per month I would expect a more functional product and better support. Find an alternative method to watch afl overseas.

Scam

They make it very hard to unsubscribe and will charge you even in the off season. There’s no option to unsubscribe in Apple settings with all the other apps, and you can’t even unsubscribe through the app. You have to log in on their website. I was charged $44 to watch footy in November when there isn’t even a game on.

Rubbish

Proceed with caution. Their registration process is clunky which in my case didn’t align my email address to the payment/ registration. This prevented me watching the first quarter and start of second in the grand final. Support gave me erroneous addresses to try - greedy pricing and an app that needs serious rework.

Shocking app! Save your money

Trying to watch the grand final while on holidays and this hands down is the worst possible app to use. At this point it’s better to pirate stream it! Says it’s disconnected from internet when the whole time I’ve had full bars and perfect reception. Paid almost $50 for this $H!T
