Rugby Watch Pros

✓ Recent upgrades make this app a no-brainierThe ‘Rugby Watch’ app has recently been bought by a developer (also owner of the official WhosTheRef app) who have added many new features that move it on from simply recording score and tracking time. I think it is now a perfectly useable replacement for the card and pencil in both senior and age grade rugby union. Compatibility I recently upgraded my Apple Watch in part so I could use this app which requires the following system software. This means the watchOS 8.3 update is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 3 and later. I had a Series 2 which was already starting to struggle running apps so an upgrade was a good move aside from running the Rugby Watch app e.g. for golf players my new watch allows me to auto-track every shot while using the amazing ‘Golf Shot’ app. Settings The greatest upgrade to the app are the settings which allow users to Taylor the app to the game they are refereeing. Where previously the app was fixed to the senior game the app now allows us to taylor the number (2,3,4) and length (40,35,30,25,20,15,10) of periods of play and length of Yellow Card periods (unlimited). Timers You will find timers in all areas of this app that you would like them. Period length are taken care of with the ability to stop the clock whenever accessible from the main screen. Penalty Goal and Conversion timers that automatically start when you select either the Penalty goal button or Try button. The timers count up to an unlimited amount but I think an improvement would be to count down from 60 (try) or 90 (conversion) seconds. The Yellow Card timer starts automatically after you select the player number. This does count down, usefully. I understand that once the timer runs out the watch should vibrate to alert you, which makes sense, especially if you have a number of YCs running in parallel, but unfortunately this feature isn’t working. I can’t think why this is the case as the vibrate function does work to announce the end of periods of play. Hopefully this is something that the developer will fix soon. Saved games This is a very welcome update that now records all previous matches so you can now safely end the game on the pitch, head to the club house and be able to meet the captains/coaches in the bar, after your well deserved shower. and recall the score, number of tries, goals and conversions. Previously once the game was ended all records disappeared for ever. Update suggestions As I said in the intro I think this app is ready to take on to the pitch and replaces the score card and pencil without fear. However like all apps there is room for improvement. Score correction. I have accidentally pressed the penalty/Drop goal button mid play. There is usefully a feature to correct score, which I use at the next break in play. I wonder if firstly there may be a way of making accidental presses of scoring buttons through a confirmation prompt? But currently even if you remove a score through settings it will remove the score from the total number but not from the record. For example a try will still be listed in the record of the game even if you remove the 5 points from the total. Yellow card timer alert As I mentioned above the YC timer really does need a vibrate at the end to alert the ref the suspension is up. Visible Score during conversion attempts. In the final quarter when players start to ask for time remaining often this happens while a conversion attempt is in progress. After you record a try the screen switches to conversion timer (see below). The score needs to be visible on this screen. Overall This app is ready to go. The suggestions I have made for updates will take it to near perfection based on road testing I have done (5 games). I have focused on key features but there are many more which make this app the best Rugby Union ref app on the store right now. I have tried them all but there aren’t many. ‘Rugby Watch’ would need further updates for higher leagues where for example replacements need recording but I suspect watch apps would be frowned upon at upper levels so probably not worthwhile. Many lower league refs will distrust score keeping by technology in preference for the card and pencil but I have found this app perfect for a ref of adult lower league and Age Grade rugby union. I previously made mistakes on the card so it is more about user error that the choice between card or app for me. I have had games where my card has disintegrated from a waterlogged pocket. This app is much more than a score keeper. It helps you to manage your game. If you are reading this it probably means you are open to the idea so I’d say for (£4.49 current price) definitely give it a go. I won’t be going back to the card as long as this app is available. That said I do still keep a card and pencil in the pocket in case the watch fails, I also use a second watch to keep time, It always pays to have back ups when refereeing..HotmangopickleVersion: 2.1

✓ TimerIs there a way to alter the timer? I.e in rugby league different age groups have different match lengths or is it only 40 mins?.Cccvv vcvhjdbshsbshsbdvdjskVersion: 2.7

Rugby Watch Cons

✗ Great app BUT…..I have loved using this app as a referee, very user friendly and dependable BUT today, for the first time, I was using the app, finished the game and it has LOST the game in the history. Therefore no try times or card times and it means having to revert back to pen and paper in case this happens again. So, great app, but if it loses the data of a game in its history, not good at all if you are relying on it solely..JRStar5Version: 2.7

✗ Purchased but no downloadI bought this in anticipation of getting an Apple Watch. App in App Store shows I’ve purchased it but greyed out and inactive to me. Not on my phone nor on new watch. Can’t repurchase either… stuffed. Developer please message me..Sores tonesjgndatjbndkjVersion: 2.3
