Sinon très bien pour les principales règles. ### 1/5 — アプリが起動しません *2025-03-05* iOS 18.3.1のiPhone15proでインストールしたのですが、アプリを開こうとすると"One moment, we’re just setting things up for you…"のメッセージ表示とともに起動中のくるくるがひたすら回るだけで、全く立ち上がりません。どうしたら起動できるのでしょうか？ ### 2/5 — New version too slow to open *2025-02-24* As a ref i often want to quickly check the laws. The new version often ends up not even starting or taking forever to start with a “one moment we are sitting things up for you screen”. The old version launched instantly. Please change it back or have it download updated data in the background. ### 1/5 — 立ち上がらない *2025-02-15* アプリが立ち上がらない ### 4/5 — We just need a update to the laws for 2022/2023 *2022-05-08* 2021 rule book just needs a update ### 4/5 — Excellent app - but needs updating more quickly! *2022-03-19* Extremely useful, no issues with videos - they play every time. Good links to the World Rugby Officiating site and other WR resources. Highly recommend if you have an interest in the technical side of the game. Edit: I’ve dropped a star off as there have been a number of changes/introductions this year and they are not yet included - 50/22 rule for instance. Needs updating much more quickly. ### 4/5 — 文字化けを直してください *2021-09-04* iPad mini 4 / iOS 14.4.2 で動作させていますが、文字化けしてしまいます。 例: 16 モール モールでのオフサイド 各チームに、自㼳pan class="laws_search_highlight2">ƒームのゴールラインに一番近いモールの参加者の最後尾の足を通るゴールラインと平行なオフサイドラインがある。その足がゴールライン上、または、ゴールラインの後方にある場合、そのチームのオフサイドラインはゴールラインとなる。 プレーヤーぼspan class="laws_search_highlight2">¯、オンサイドの位置からモールに参加するか、ただちにオフサイドラインの後方へ下がらなければならない。 罰：ペナルティ モールから離れたプレーヤーは㼳pan class="laws_search_highlight2">€ただちにオフサイドラインの後方へ下がらなければならない。モールに再び参加してもよい。 罰：ペナルティ ### 2/5 — Basic *2020-02-22, version 7.4.2* Not enough detail to be really useful. ### 4/5 — Please write in Japanese... *2019-07-11* I want to learn rugby laws in Japanese! In this year, we have World Cup in Japan. For the games, I want to know rugby rules well. So, I want to learn it in Japanese. ### 2/5 — ワールドカップ *2019-05-21* 今年ワールドカップが日本開催なのに、iPhoneは日本語に対応してない ### 3/5 — Not updated with 2019 Changes *2019-05-10, version 7.0* App says it has the 2019 changes included. However, 20.15 has not been revised as well as others. ### 3/5 — Amend Immediately! *2019-03-13* Please make the amendment about the length of in-goal line. In 2019, it was changed to from 6m to 22m. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was the Best *2025-07-11* Change it back! The new updates have made this app horrendous and practically unusable pitch side. I literally cannot even open the app half the time and then when I do, it looks like the code was written by a college first year! Don’t even try reading the variations because again it won’t load properly and you can’t tell which is part is deleted and which is being replaced. That being said, this was best app out there but has taken a giant goose step in the wrong direction. Please revert back! ### 1/5 — App will not load *2025-05-01* Surely someone knows that the app doesn’t load ??? ### 1/5 — Does not load *2025-04-26* ? ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2025-04-25, version 9.19* Used to load and you could actually read the rules. Doesn’t work anymore. ### 1/5 — App not working after latest update *2025-04-19* App was working fine prior to update. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2025-04-18* Since updating, won’t load. How can you not know about this ? Essentially dead in the water App. ### 1/5 — インストールしたものの立ち上がらない *2025-03-25* アプリを開こうとすると、ずっとカーソルが回ったまま。 いつまで経っても立ち上がらない。 使い物にならない… ### 1/5 — Won’t load after latest update *2025-03-17* This was a good app, but since the last update, it just says “One moment, we’re just setting things up for you…”, and never finishes. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it, but the same thing happens. I would have contacted the developer, but this seems impossible, so hopefully they’ll take notice of this review. ### 1/5 — Aussie MO *2025-03-15* I have been using this app on my mobile phone for years. But this year the App upgrade will not load. Other Referees are having the same problem. Can we get a fix please? ### 1/5 — 使えない *2025-03-14* アプリが立ち上がらず使えない。早急に対応してほしい。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — demande mise a jour *2024-12-15* bonsoir petit question a quand une mise a jour merci world rugby ### 5/5 — Update?? *2024-09-12* Needs to be updated for 2024-25 rules this is the online rules referees like myself use as a reference tool. ### 5/5 — 動画付きでわかりやすい！ *2024-05-16* ペナルティーやフリーキックなどのリスタートの位置（5メートル、15メートルなど）も明記して欲しい ### 5/5 — Wait for an update! *2024-05-11* This was a great app but unfortunately it now causes confusion because it is not being updated with changes. ### 5/5 — A partagé sans modération *2024-01-07* Appli au top pour se familiariser facilement aux règles de jeu du rugby. Les schémas sont explicites et les explications claires. A partagé sans modération avec votre entourage pour des discussions enflammées !! 😁 ### 5/5 — Great resource *2021-08-12* A great resource for anyone connected with the game of rugby. It could be more user friendly with regard to Law Trials and Guidelines. ### 5/5 — Referee Support *2019-09-07* I use this app all the time, to confirm I have made correct decisions as a referee! ### 5/5 — Great App - but a couple of tweaks needed *2019-06-01* Easy to use and well laid out. Works off network as a reference. Only things extra I’d ask for are: 1) allow to swipe left/right to get to the next law, and/or have a next/previous link at the bottom of each law. 2) have option to download the video clips to a local cache to enable offline review. A possible extra section which may be good to add would be to add the law application guidelines (eg the decision making framework for high tackles) and the recent clarifications of law (both these sections are on the IRB site) ### 5/5 — Brilliantly handy *2018-06-10, version 6.5* It is brilliant to have the laws, always up-to-date, in ones pocket. Nicely done! ### 5/5 — 日本語表示を *2016-09-12* 日本語表示お願いします。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
