Terrible app

Instead of games automatically starting at the beginning, nearly every time it will take you to the end of the game with the final scores ruined, or it shows you the end of the previous game which you didn’t ask for and then you get the score ruined on that as well. Terrible!

Greatest sport in the world

I live in Vegas and went to the games and got hooked the action is intense and the players are amazing. The coverage is awesome and anyone that loves sports should try NRL for one week.

Not bad but needs love

The app could be so much better and they could make it so I can download on google tv or smart tv. I understand it all comes down to the $$$ but a man can dream. In 2025 they had mini replays of matches and press conferences that were great, 2026 no replays???? I’m still stoked I can watch live games and full replays. Maybe get Kayo to pump some money into this thing or partner with you. Love from Aussie in Canada 🇦🇺🇨🇦

Be transparent about costs!

Not sure how the App Store allows it to display zero information about pricing.
Don’t make me download & install BEFORE you tell me the price!

Fix orientation issues

Please please please fix the orientation issues with this app. This service costs a lot of money and it shouldnt be so hard to watch a video in landscape on a phone

Won’t work correctly on Apple TV

Poor support their fix is to airplay to your Tv

Disappointed

All year (2025) the app has not been able to cast to my tv. Used to work last year. Not going to renew.

MH

This app is terrible for 2 reasons.
1. The score is shown after full time during the post match coverage, and there is no option to select ‘play from beginning’ or ‘play from live’. This leaves you guessing as to when the post match show is over so the score isn’t ruined.
2. The time slider at the bottom of the screen is tiny for smartphone users. This means the slightest movement can shift the match time overs 10s of minutes. This results in unintentional skipping ahead which also ruins the game.

Unreliable

Trying to grow the game overseas, far too expensive.

Terrible

Works in Spain the a week later in France does not work and thinks I am in Australia or nz

RIP OFF!!!

$24 AUD and can’t watch anything live 🤦🏽‍♂️ biggest scam of my life!!!

Great

Work well, however, crashes occasionally when tilted.

Great service, terrible app

It’s great for streaming on my computer, but I can never watch anything, not even highlights, on my phone

Great!

Purchased for my footy mad husband who couldn't possibly miss a game while we were on holiday overseas! Very easy to use.
He forgot to cancel the subscription when we returned to Australia.
Contacted Fox Sports and they were very understanding and issued a refund. Thanks!

Could be so much better

App is poor. Struggles to work or load on alot of occasions. When working the content and games are great, but the inconsistency is really annoying for an expat NRL fan

Chrome casting function is broken

I love my NRL, but relying on this app whilst living overseas is just a garbage experience. If you want to cast to your TV the buffering makes it unwatchable. If you want us to pay over $200 per year for this, you need to wither work on a native app for smart TVs to improve the experience.

Does not work at all

Tried watching the pacific championships only for the live not to work. Rubbish!

Does not work in Timor Leste

I’ve tried to make this fraudulent app work on 3 different devices, unsuccessfully. I live in Timor Leste, so this app should work here. The app allows me to watch old games but if I try to watch a live game it just says “content asset not available”. I want my subscription fee back. Surely the app developers can see the amount of 1 star reviews this app is getting and then FIX THE APP!!!!!

Terrible product - even worse customer service

I was initially thrilled to find this service whilst travelling in the US as it allowed me to watch the roosters and storm in the prelim final. Like others I did find the platform crashed several times during the game but I was just happy to be able to watch it. What I hadn’t realised is that they keep charging you $28 a week (auto renewal). On realising this I reached out to their customer service to ask if they would refund the additional weeks - after all you can’t even watch it in Australia and they would be able to see I used it once. However they keep insisting there’s nothing they can do - which is clearly incorrect, they could refund the money but they decide not to. I see a lot of our other negative comments and if you treat people like this your never going to be around for the long term.

Download not working for months

Terrible app for such a high price. Keep getting automated responses when complaining about no download of games. Terrible customer service
