AFL Live Official App for Negative User Reviews
✓ Team Flags/Icons are blank in the ladder sectionReally disappointed that I was forced to update the app in order to use it. Then, since the latest update, the team flags/icons, in the Ladder section of the app, are all blank and appear as a greyed out shadow only with no team colours or anything to determine one team from the next. This is horrible!! And this also means that when you click on the extended version of the ladder, it doesn’t even have the team name listed near the greyed out shadows (which should be the team flag/icon) so you have absolutely no idea which team sits where. This is ridiculous. What a complete bomb out of an update. It’s practically made the app unusable if you want to check the AFL ladder. I’m considering deleting the app altogether if this isn’t brought back to functioning status in the next few days..Version: 8.4
✓ Streaming radio not workingThe 2010 app was great, but this is the first game the 2011 app has been available and 4 out of the 5 radio streams are broken! The one radio stream that does work switches off when your screen locks. I can't believe they can release (and charge) for an app with such bugs!.Version: 1.0
✓ Text too smallWritten text is too small and not adjustable making it very difficult for those of us with eye issues. Otherwise, from what I have been able to read, it seems okay..Version: 3.4.2
✓ One of the worst paid AppConsistently disappointing. Streaming and replays crash a lot. It’s a paid subscription so I don’t want to see any advertisement. Not being able to go full screen on the iPad is a joke. I don’t have Foxtel so I feel trapped cause there’s no other option at the moment. This is so f@*kin frustrating! Update: Finally had it and cancelled my subscription. This App and Foxtel had ruined watching the game for me. I’ll just have to settle watching the games on TV and highlights rather than paying for this useless subscription. I also don’t understand how this App has a 4.6 rating when some of the negative reviews are 5 stars? The rating looks rigged to me. Anyway, thanks Telstra and Foxtel for ruining it for me..Version: 6.1
✓ Great app but could be betterI have really enjoyed the afl app very much but I think it still has a few floors that need ironing. When a match starts, I have noticed there are a bug when you scroll down through the matches when you get to a link and it goes back to the home screen. I have also noticed the live radio coverage sometimes stops working 15 minutes after you put it on to listen to the game but overall it is a fantastic app..Version: 5.1.8
✓ Only works on wifi, not cellular dataThis app infuriates me. I’ve paid for access through my club membership and I live in NZ. The app works fine on wifi, but whenever I’m away from home and need to watch a game on cellular data it tells me I need to be in Australia or NZ. There is nothing worse than missing games because of this rubbish. It literally won’t let me use a service I’ve paid for because it thinks I’m not in the country I’m actually in..Version: 7.5.1
✓ GroanBillion dollar AFL. Just can’t figure why you’ve got to have ads on the ap. Sponsored by Telstra, another $billion dollar company and you give us ads... is there no end to the parsimony? Your ap jumps around, disappearance of features (no injury list for example, you’ve got to google to find out what is going on i.e you’ve got to ask an American corporation what’s happening in Australia’s national sport!!). This is the AFL official app?? Why can’t you have player bios up to date?? No info supplied by the club?? Get in touch with the player personally and DO THE JOB!!! How hard can it be!!??? Is this app run offshore by some disinterested Pakistani back yard IT company?? 1 out of 10 guys, you can do better!!!.Version: 7.5.1
✓ Cant get it to work, cant cancel, cant get money back eitherDont risk this if you are in US.Version: 5.1
✓ Was hoping for moreWas hoping for more customisations such as favourite team and choosing a time zone outside of Australia. Will wait and see how the live audio works..Version: 2.0.17
✓ Chrome cast/air playAs a crows supporter who recently moved interstate we now rely solely on the AFL live app as Telstra customers to watch our team play when they aren’t playing during prime time. My partner and I struggle to watch the game on our iPad because you can’t put it on full screen because all the stats take up 50% of your screen and you don’t have to option to hide it, which is the dumbest thing about the app. The stats are great but you’re on the app to watch the game not the statistics. We also thought we might be able to use our chrome cast to watch the game on our tv but we can’t, super disappointing. Now we are both forced to sit squeezed up super close to try and see what’s going on in the tiny window on our iPad screen..Version: 7.1
✓ Full of bugsThis app could be good if it wasn't so buggy. It crashes constantly. What's going on with the video quality..Version: 3.1.9
✓ AFL Live Radio on Apple Watch?Can you listen (Radio broadcasts like TripleM/3AW etc) to live AFL games via Apple Watch? If not, could developers look at adding this?.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Match replaysHi I’m residing in San Francisco, CA so having access to replays is fantastic. One comment though on the controls is that it doesn’t have easy access to fast forward or backwards, so fine toggling is a real pain Would be great to have the fast forward / backwards 10 second that other apps have Cheers.Version: 6.2
✓ Going backwards....Can we go back to last year's app? Refresh on this is awful. Constantly having to restart to get live scores. A poor relation to last year's version of this app..Version: 4.2
✓ Can’t stream videoI spent $14 to be able to watch my afl live pass, I am in England currently and there was absolutely no problem purchasing it until I encountered many errors, I’m very angry and after many searches as to why this was happening it let me know I cannot stream it overseas, would’ve been nice to know that In the first place.Version: 6.4
✓ Broadcasting bungleAs a Victorian who was not legally allowed to watch the grand final anywhere than under my own roof, I was let down dearly for reason alone that I did not have an antenna sitting on that very structure. Despite being a Telstra customer, I was booted off the app 5 minutes before the bounce; shocked to find that chromecast or any form of streaming had not been made available. The suggested message I was given was - watch on Kayo. Of course Kayo was not showing the game live. After watching the first quarter on a 6 inch device screen, I was forced to settle for an online stream. Ironically, the option I’m sure the AFL was trying to avoid. For a company who has moved so many barriers successfully this year in the face of a pandemic, I was left gobsmacked that renegotiating broadcasting rights apparently, was one too difficult. While the tigers went on to greatness, myself and no doubt many other Victorians in this instance were abandoned. 2020 has been a wake up for many technical redundancies that have called for change. Here’s hoping the AFL has a conversation about one that is long overdue. Luke.Version: 7.7
✓ DOESN'T WORKAs above this App does not stream video or live?? 1 star for encouraging me to purchase..Version: 2.0.31
✓ RubbishNone of the match replay videos play - even after deleting and reloading the app twice.Version: 9.2
✓ Last update is not the best.Ever since the last update a month ago, the live audio streaming is very patchy and has broken commentary. It’s so bad that you can’t listen to any of the games. It happens with every radio station available to listen to..Version: 8.4.1
✓ 1Don’t expect to read anything about non Victorian clubs.Version: 5.1
✓ More information but not easier to useThe AFL app has been updated but trying to use it sometimes feels like a rat in a maze. Simple match reports feel like they are delayed longer than normal. If listening to a game and the game finishes the radio stops, if you go to the next game but if the next game doesn’t start within then next 10 min the radio stations aren’t there to listen to any post match news/interviews of the other game that might have ran over time..Version: 7.4.1
✓ DisappointingIt is really disappointing when apps are updated and regress. This version is clearly inferior to the 2016 version (which was basically perfect in terms of a sports app). The 2017 version is poorly designed: video and ads crowd the screen. The score snake is basically useless because the y-axis isn't dynamic. In general the app is slow to update and some screens freeze when selected (e.g. the player stats).Version: 4.1.1
✓ US fans out of luckWhat advantage could there possibly be in barring overseas paying subscribers from watching live games?! Makes zero sense.Version: 5.1.8
✓ HARDLY WORTH GETTING!Unfortunately the AFL App has become very disappointing. Living in Wollongong we could not get the Telstra Free live coverage on the Cats v Tigers match at the MCG, and then Apple Airplay it to our television like we could before. The game was not on our local TV channels so we couldn’t view it unless it was on a small phone. It wasn’t on our local radio either. It is hard to watch an AFL game for a long time on your mobile phone. Watching the U18 championship games as we did last year, won’t be able to be viewed again. Y The local clubs and pubs here will usually only show NRL matches, if the Swans or GWS aren’t playing. Why offer so call free to air coverage when you can only view a match on a small hand held screen, when you could watch it on your TV. Why not attach some advertising and let people actually see the matches properly, like we could before? What is the use of being a Telstra customer if you cannot view an AFL match comfortably?.Version: 5.1.4
✓ Screen sizeTerrible experience. The reduced screen size, is deplorable. It’s why I cancel my subscription. Very poor Cx and trying to watch a game I love..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Privacy leaksReads data from your clipboard for no apparent reason… hence the “pasted from iPhone” notification when you open the app.Version: 8.4.1
✓ StanThis has to be the most pathetic app ever released. Poor quality live streaming, heaps of bugs and programme crashes. Someone needs to bring in experts and start again..Version: 3.1.9
✓ STILL buggyGreat app, aside from the extremely buggy user interface. I scroll down to see the games for the current round and half way down, it refreshes and takes me back to the top. I scroll down again and icons start flashing and refreshing before I get taken back to the top again. And scores will take a good 10 seconds to load up. It often tells me scores are at 0-0 when I first open the app, even though it might be third quarter. These bugs happen on my iPhone 7, but also my new iPad Pro. There’s reviews here from a year ago with the same complains. It needs to be fixed..Version: 9.4
✓ Poor serviceToo much advertising. Why should l see adverts when I’m paying to watch footy. Also, why can’t the screen be full size? Really poor service but l love footy so l put up with it.Version: 7.5.1
✓ How!?!?I can’t believe that in 2018 one has trouble just listening to the radio coverage on this app. Whether using WiFi or 4G it cuts out every 5 mins for about 10 secs and generally have to push pause and play again to get it to play. Poor form as it’s the only way possible on a smart phone to listen to the footy.Version: 5.1.8
✓ Afl appFor people who live outside of Australia your app is good but you need to allow for Apple TV or Chrome cast . By now allowing this feature you only alienate me from paying for the app next year. It’s a lot of money for nothing really if is restricted to the device as it is hard to watch for more than 10 minutes and its impossible to get into the games. Please allow for these features ASAP , you will have a lot more people access the app feature and more turnover. Colin Kilpatrick New Zealand.Version: 5.1.5
✓ Video never works properlyAmateur hour at Telstra. AFL video never works properly, when it isn’t buffering the quality is awful. On wifi so not a connection issue, Netflix, YouTube and every other website streams perfectly. Radio stream drops out regularly too. It really is a disgrace in 2019 they can’t get this fixed..Version: 6.0.2
✓ HarryToo slow to load both app and website. Get your act together AFL..Version: 4.4
✓ CrapWay to go AFL You want to expand the game globally, but then publish a buggy app which crashes/sticks and is otherwise slow when being used.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Unexpected errorThis App is completely useless! Every time I try to stream video it will play for moment and then it stops and a message pops up saying "unexpected error occurred during play back"! I purchased an AFL live season pass to stream the games on my phone and even they just freeze every few minutes! I have a new phone and excellent wifi. Can't believe I paid for this! Terrible app! Steer well clear of this one!.Version: 3.1.9
✓ Still worse than 2012This app cuts out a lot compared to the 2012 version which is frustrating and I have an excellent Internet connection. a small positive is that it does seem to be at its most consistent during games. However, it can be almost non-existent in the half hour before the game. If the AFL is going to ban streaming of the pre-game on individual sites for the half hour before games, at least do the courtesy of putting it on your app properly. In addition, the score on the left panel updates about 20 seconds before you hear it so you know what's going to happen before it does which is very frustrating....Version: 2.0.32
✓ Good features but slow and buggyThe most recent release of this app seems to have a few bugs. Most noticeably, it loads up games you didn't select, takes a while to load the games you do select, and is just generally a bit slow. Aesthetically it's nice, but some information can be hard to find as there is a lot going on on each page. Personally, I think last seasons version was a bit better..Version: 2.0.39
✓ Worst AFL app ever! The AFL should be embarrassed!How is the rating for this app more than 1 Star?? Does the AFL care that their mobile app should actually work properly?? I think not! The Ladder predictor which was introduced recently is a prime example of something that does not work properly. The results you get from the Predictor is totally different from the actual website but one would think it would be the same except it is not! Worst still the predictor results from the app is completely wrong!! I now just use the afl website on my phone. If you want a textbook case of a poor user experience, buggy app & AFL not caring about its reputation then look no further from the official AFL mobile app!.Version: 5.1.6
✓ PatheticDon't bother! It has so many bugs. Garbo app don't waste your money. I want a refund..Version: 1.0
✓ New update crashesSince yesterday’s update, the app won’t even open. The front page briefly flashes, then disappears. Nothing! The App Store says it is compatible with my phone, but I wonder whether that is true. I have an iPhone 6 with operating system 12 that is no longer being upgraded. If it isn’t compatible, it should say so. I’ll keep the app for a little longer in hopes that there will be a new update that fixes the last one..Version: 9.4
✓ They clearly still want you to buy FOXTELThis app is OK but for $99 you can subscribe to watch the games. However the app won’t let you watch games through your TV and so you are paying to watch games on your phone or tablet screen! If you watch a game live on your tablet there’s no way to make it full screen. All in all a disappointing experience!.Version: 6.1
✓ Poor versionLoads of time making it look flashy but it works so poorly. The live video won't play full screen on a iPad. Badly designed. Prefer older versions..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Good but with issuesGood app for AFL news, content and for following on game day. There are minor issues that could use some addressing. Switching a video to landscape while it plays causes the video to crash. This is particularly frustrating as it then requires me to rewatch the ads once I open it again. Another bug is that I have to hold the scroll up to read the bottom of articles as it flicks back up the page if I let go. Annoying since I follow the last team alphabetically..Version: 8.5
✓ If only I could watch the videoThis would be extremely happy with this app if I could watch the video highlights her in NZ. I would happily pay for the season pass to watch the matches. Take a look at MLB which use their app to make MLB available to new markets..Version: 2.0.24
✓ App shuts down immediatelyI have this app on my phone and it works fine. My wife has it on her iPad and it works fine. It shuts down immediately on my iPad after getting to the splash screen. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it, turned the iPad off and back on again, stood on one leg and blinked both eyes, but nothing will get the app working. I asked the AFL what the problem could be, but I haven’t heard from them. App Store says it works on this iPad. I beg to differ..Version: 9.5
✓ Could be better....Need the option of 16/9 windscreen on the live games as they do already on the replays. Having the option of the picture slightly reduced in size and being able to see all the play and graphics is much better than having the graphics chopped off and the picture centre cut. Very annoying. Give us the full windscreen picture option, not this centre chopped rubbish. You give us the option on the replays which is great. Why not the live games???.Version: 2.0.28
✓ Horrible.Super buggy. Terrible experience every year. Feels like 2008..Version: 5.1.8
✓ Do better AFL. Average app from a multi million $ business2022 app didn’t always show the AFL scores or was slow to show them after refreshing or shutting down and opening. Reinstalling app did not fix it. I have just installed the 2023 update. The time the matches start doesn’t fully display. I have an iPhone 11. Can’t believe the creators of this app don’t fully do user acceptance testing on different model common phones..Version: 9.10.1
✓ Save your pennies....Came back to Melbourne on holidays and couldn't wait to watch my beloved pies play. As is tradition I always listen to Triple M at the game... The AFL cuts the Triple M broadcast off so you have to buy this app. When the 'live' radio decided to start working, about 10 minutes into the first quarter, it was on a delay of about a minute or would cut out every 30 seconds or so. For a sport that prides itself on being world class, this is horrible!!!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Nothing loadsDoes load anything. This makes it incredibly difficult to follow scores and the ladder, as you can imagine..Version: 8.5
✓ CrapIf you can't even get your app to post to Facebook properly then you're a joke Oh and I'm trying to listen to Dockers vs Bombers. You think I can get the radio to work? Of course not. Sheesh.Version: 2.0.32
✓ Don’t do itWas charged two weeks for the app without knowing. What’s worse is the free week I signed up for didn’t even work. Nowhere to contact for a refund..Version: 5.1.5
✓ Fine but what about notifications?I live in the UK and try to keep up as best I can with the scores and news. The app helps a bit but I can't get notifications set up at all without logging in to AFL Live. Which would be fine, if I could find out how to register from the app (you can't) and if I wanted to pay for a subscription (I don't get the chance to watch regularly so what's the point in paying for a subscription just to have notifications!). Real shame for people outside Aus....Version: 3.4.2
✓ Bit too buggyThis app has some very good articles and videos. But it is so glitchy, Every time you scroll down while you’re reading an article it either resets the page, or it scrolls very slowly. If you’re in player stats, that takes forever to load. So it’s just those little things that half ruin the app. I love the content if there was no silly glitches I would give this 5 stars, I read this everyday. Still a lot to work on but I like this app more then I dislike it..Version: 9.7
✓ Won't open on iPadRubbish won't open on iPad just sits on the load page then crashes.Version: 4.1.1
✓ So disappointing.Forget the app and go and watch the game at a pub! Earlier versions of the app were good... but later versions only allow you to watch on about a third of your device screen. The rest of the screen is taken up with fairly useless stats, such as how long a particular player has been resting on the bench, or a score worm, heat map, etc. One can only assume that the reduction in viewing space is Telstra and the AFL driving you to take out a Foxtel subscription. Also, when renewing your subscription beware of duplicate charges from Telstra and the iTunes Store. Pay close attention to your credit card statements. One says Telstra Applications, the other Apple iTunes Store..Version: 5.1.5
✓ Poor substituteA very poor substitute for afl tv which is no longer available in NZ- AFL obviously are not interested I growing the market and supporter base. You can't choose games so unless you support a big club, save your money. The new version doesn't work at all in NZ. Total waste of money. Don't buy..Version: 2.0.31
✓ Awful support from Telstra.I’m an NZ customer. I can’t open the app on multiple devices despite paying for it, I called Telstra, spent over 30 minutes on the phone with them and got nowhere. They just kept trying to tell me it was an Apple issue - it wasn’t. Now I can’t stream a match live and guess what... they can’t help me again! What a bunch of clowns!.Version: 5.1.5
✓ Afl app for iPadEverything works, but its really terrible when trying to read the news section. You have no way of adjusting the split of the page and so are forced to move the page around to try and complete a whole sentence! Big downer and you'd expect much better considering I'm sure the AFL paid a chunk to get it done!.Version: 2.0.37
✓ No image on replays IPad AirLiving in France at the moment and I don’t have access to any images on videos. Got the sound though lol but mate please give access to those images on iPad Air thanks.Version: 8.7
✓ Still buggyWas hoping latest update wld fix, but it doesn’t. Impossible to scroll down news page. The page scrolls about 6 - 8 stories down before it refreshes automatically & jumps back to top of page, even if you’ve switched off auto refresh, notifications, etc. Also most times, you can’t listen to pregame on ‘listen live’ until literally 1 or 2 minutes before game; occasionally listen live won’t even appear til game starts. V frustrating if yr not in Vic & listening online is yr only option. Especially as broadcast radio stations have to stop streaming around 15 mins before the game, which results in a broadcast black hole for that crucial period to hear pregame analysis, late outs etc. Fix these glitches and it wld be a 4 star app, as it is a little better than previous versions (except for the absolutely OTT ads - as others have said, there are way too many and they’re too long). And AFL, just a heads up that re live game video moving to a paid platform: The day live radio streams move to a paid platform, is the day I delete the app, stop using the desktop site and stop listening to all but Swans & Giants games that are available live on ABC radio here in NSW. At least they have no ads! 😬.Version: 8.4.1
✓ AFL FanThe current version of this app is so much poorer than the previous version! It's clumsy! It's awkward! The earlier versions made everything AFL easy to view. The new version seems to go out of its way to make things more difficult! I don't have much use for this app!.Version: 4.0
✓ What have you done?????Used to LIVE this app but update has ruined it. I now can't get push notifications on my team unless I register and when I try, it takes me to a website where it's subscription membership. What a shame. One of my favourite apps trashed..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Screen rotationIt appears the screen rotation goes to portrait mode to view all the other tabs except for the match viewing screen ,really annoying. Make it auto rotate to how you hold the ipad ,ie landscape if you turn if you hold it that way. And yes like others have mentioned you used to be able to watch games in full screen mode ,now it’s quarter screen with 3/4 of the pages full of stats ,we don’t need that,make that another screen if people want that option..Version: 7.3
✓ Can’t log in with Telstra IDAlthough this app as some great features, I have been limited to them because of the difficulty of trying to login to get the season pass with my Telstra ID. Every time I attempt to log in with my Telstra ID, it just never works. When I try to log in with my Telstra ID it loads which proceeds to convince me that it has successfully logged me in. As I then try to watch a live match it tells me that I need to be a Telstra customer and sign in with my Telstra ID. I have correctly entered my Telstra ID yet it still fails to give me access to the season pass. I have never had such difficulties trying to use an application before..Version: 7.4.1
✓ Why can't I watch the game through apple tvWas good during nab cup as I could watch the footage through the Apple TV device but with the update for the season proper can no longer do this, bit ordinary really considering I'm paid up and went out and bought the thing so I could watch through the tv..Version: 2.0.31
✓ Step backwardsThe new interface is much less friendly to navigate. After having lots of problems and poor support I decided not to renew my subscription. On my Galaxy Tab 2 it just fails to load and I get error occurred messages randomly..Version: 4.1
✓ Broken without supportIn app purchases confirmed by Apple but not respected in app. Absolutely zero support from developers .. but many similar complaints across the inter web. Should have looked first. Avoid this app.Version: 6.4
✓ AFL Live AppGood app for checking live scores, fixtures, results, match summaries and the points ladder. A great feature is the video highlights but I wish anyone could watch the live games, not just TelstraClear members..Version: 2.0.23
✓ Ripped offBought a subscription to watch games only to find out that video isn’t supported outside Australia. Why wouldn’t you say that up front? And this was purchased through the US Apple App Store so surely the subscription shouldn’t be available, no??.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Clunk clunk clunkA Ben Brown run up is shorter than the loading time for this app. An oil tanker can turn faster than this app loads..Version: 7.5.1
✓ What would I do without it?As a lifelong Aussie Rules fan, and an expatriate, this app makes my weekend!.Version: 5.1.3
✓ Buggy and why the sound when on silent?Crashes semi frequently, especially when those ads start playing. and when they do work, oh my god, why is the sound on even though my phone is on silent?! it should be like all other video apps and be muted by default with an icon to turn sound on. i can’t use the app anymore in quiet places (bed, work, library, etc). it’s a truly awful update.Version: 7.6
✓ Can I get a refund???I purchased this app last week and also bought a 30-day pass so I could listen to the Carlton vs. Geelong match. The videos did not play at all, at first. They eventually started working sporadically. During the match, the audio I paid for was nowhere to be found, and the app crashed ten minutes before Geelong rallied to win at the end. Now, I want to listen to the North Melbourne match, but again the Match Radio feature does not work at all. This app is full of bugs. The AFL people and the developers of this app should be ashamed of themselves. They're charging people for an app that doesn't even work. All of the free footy apps I've tried work and give me the scores, the ladder, etc. I thought I was getting something extra by paying the AFL for this junk. I want my money back..Version: 1.0
✓ CrashesAn amazing app as it’s an easy way to see the scores, fixtures, broadcast guides, results, ladders and everything you need to know about AFL! One thing that needs to be fixed is the crashing, if I’m on the app looking at the scores and I get out off the app and go back on it soon after it loads for a bit and then directly takes me out of the app. It’s quite annoying as this might be a time where you really want to know the scores. Overall a great app but that is something that needs to be fixed..Version: 6.0.2
✓ Constant tinkering and little quality control = rubbish appThe constant changing of layouts and interface I suppose is to be expected but there is clearly not enough testing going into it so that all then bugs are worked out. The current app, running on iPhone 7, constant crashes, is incredibly slow, and is difficult to find content on. I appreciate that a lot of work when into this but it’s the worst app so far and there is something to be said for a clear, minimalist approach, rather than fully multimedia integrated Bellsnwhistles everywhere. It would be great just be able access latest articles front and centre And geez lay off the gambling advertising! Kids are using this all the time... get some better sponsors!.Version: 7.3.1
✓ Slow, cumbersome & takes a step backward with each releaseImagine you had almost full control over all the content of the game you run? You’d want to produce the information, the game reviews, the data in a manner that brought your viewers along. Not if you’re the AFL. Everything takes a week to load. The data is presented like a 2yo’s mess at breakfast & the absence of insight from the 4000 journos who cover the game is beyond belief. Take a bow AFL. Worst app from any major sports provider. Btw, go take a look at what The Masters provides for those following their event. It is miles ahead..Version: 9.11.1
✓ Another glitchy updateHonestly , I don’t know why I bother with this app. Another forced update only to find it is glitchy again. Logos aren’t displaying on the matches screen, it is caused my iPad to restart twice. It was fine before this update. This happens every year, they do a update at the start of the season, force everybody to accept the update then it’s glitchy for a while until they get the bugs out. Have you ever not thought of testing, on all devices, before you release it. The AFL’s digital implementation is really poor for an organisation of the prominence it has. Don’t even get me started on the AFL Membership website, jeez. Just use the website instead of the app..Version: 9.1
✓ Not impressedCan’t access live pass. $99.99 button won’t load. Says live app is only available in Australia and NZ. I’m in NZ and am being directed to a global pass for $189. No thanks..Version: 7.0
✓ CommentsI love that I can see games that are not shown on free to air television, but I find it disappointing that despite paying for these games I can still only view them on 3/4 of my iPad screen rather than the entire screen. I understand that my $5 per week does not entitle me to mirror my iPad to the television, but full screen on my device would be a big improvement. I watched the Hawks and Swans game on Saturday and noticed that the score worm was about 30 seconds ahead of the game being shown on the screen. Surely that can be better synchronised. Cass McKinnell.Version: 7.5
✓ IPad app is an afterthoughtThere are two serious performance issues which really bring down the usability of this app. The first is when you are in the newsfeed and you press to play a video, turn it 90° on the side and the video loses its Mark and the screen resets and you cannot play the video any more. The second one is in the newsfeed the title for the new story is bunched together with a picture of a different new story, making it hard to determine what article you are looking at. Fix this up and you will be well on your way to success!.Version: 8.2
✓ Good but needs updatingWas very good but quits on launch now that 2020 final is done and dusted..Version: 7.7
✓ Abysmal.They always mess it up when they do major revisions. They have gone back to video clips in amongst news and the match day site is a disaster..Version: 4.1.1
✓ More bugs than past versionsToo buggy. Content is good, but too many bugs in the revamp, especially on WAFL section (e.g. Try to open article and just refreshes the home page). Also, live stream has really slowed to be practically unusable..Version: 4.0.1
✓ ScamThey sign you up for a weekly subscription and don’t allow you to cancel. No help from FAQs. No help from their 24 hour help line - nothing. Many are affected.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Glitchy, can’t watch games with app subscription anymore.Half the content is good but removing the ability to watch games live in the app is a big loss for me. Has never been a smooth app experience and at times downright embarrassing for a professional organisation to have such long loading times and that’s after the app has gotten better without having to reload it hardly ever when it does freeze etc. but it’s still a glitchy and a clunky app experience and even running on a capable iPad Pro with a fast internet connection. Now Kayo is the cheapest way to watch AFL and that’s expensive if all you want is AFL. Also the ads are minimum 15seconds which is rather long for every video and another stingy cash grab from the AFL, I leave before the video often as the ads are repetitive, lengthy and annoying..Version: 8.3
✓ Video playback is brokenCancelling my subscription until improved. Don't expect to see videos in the new version..Version: 2.0.33
✓ User Centered design missingSeriously need to get some experts in to look at this. All form and no function. Multiple inconsistent clicks to get where you need to go. Could be so much better..Version: 4.0
✓ Afl footyResolution can be poor at times often freezes.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Live radio - poor receptionThe radio live coverage reception is very poor on my iPod touch and iPad. As an Aussie in Canada, I long forward to listening to live coverage of matches, but not enjoyed because of radio fallout via the Net. I hope the network linkages can improve to get uninterrupted radio coverage of the games. Maybe it's the fault of the App? Thanks Robert, Ontario, Canada.Version: 2.0.21
✓ Needs improvementOne of the most bloated, buggy apps I've ever used. terrible layout and UI. not what you expect from an official app of a major sports league. there are several "non-official" apps that do the job much better.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Sounds cuts out on videosSince the latest update, the sound cuts about 6-10 seconds into each video. Very frustrating and makes videos unwatchable..Version: 8.3
✓ Rip off waste of timePaying for the afl live subscription is a total waste of time and money. Frequently drops out and can’t watch games. What a scam..Version: 6.1
✓ Nothing Works, I've Wasted My MoneyThe number of bugs in this app are just astonishing, the AFL should be ashamed of putting their name on it. I mainly wanted it as a quick and reliable way to check match scores but 90% of the time a spinner appears for about 30 seconds and either nothing appears or the app will crash. When the live updates do appear the commentary and scores were continually out of sync so you'd see a goal scored in the comments and the score would not update or vice-versa so you're never sure which is correct. Similar problems occur when you go to the club news page a spinner will appear and then no news appears. I've customised the news for my team and apparently I support a team called (null). AFL please fix this app or refund my money and restore the simple HTML page that used to be on your site to check the scores. This app is a disgrace!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ App issues2 years on and this app is still glitchy! Just paid for pass and now the app has gone mental. What's the bet I don't get a refund?.....Version: 3.3.0
✓ Possession, Mark, Kick.. Score!Thank AFL, and iTunes for making this App global! This is the only way to get listen to the game and be a part of Twitterverse or Facebook for now. I could write a zillion great things about the App like you can put you fav teams game on your calendars there usually around 4 rave radio stations with great receptions, that you can choose from to listen to your game. Hopefully the commercials have improved? Aussie Rules Footie, best way to end your night or start your day! Footie starts in March. I'm hoping my team wins the PremierCup for 2014. Cheer on Casey! Now it is 2014, season is starting. I'm getting emails still, but this season is different. Radio stations that "we" listened to Footie for years you have to find out if they have an App to listen to the games. Unless you can predict that you will be able to watch EVERY game you paid for.. I LOVE Footie! But even I can't predict one month from the next. I wish. TV stations would put back on stations, as they did in the 1990's!.Version: 3.0.0
✓ Broadcast schedule completely pointless, and functionality is rubbish in general.It is exceptionally difficult to ever know what games are to be broadcast live, using the schedule on the app. A few times already this season I have turned my tv on to watch a game that was listed to be on, only to find that it wasn’t. While a certain game may be on free to air, it is not Australia wide. The app. does not say what states get each broadcast. Yes, it’s on, but you have to guess where. If the app. does not make the distinction, then there is not really much point. Edit 16 July Things I forgot to mention previously. It’s buggy, slow and difficult to navigate. Honestly, all I use it for is to check the scores - it’s rubbish at everything else..Version: 9.14.0
✓ Annoying siren sound effects!The siren sound effects go off all the time. I nearly crashed my car the last time it happened. Really dangerous annoying app..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Needs a few tweaksA great place for official AFL news, however, it needs a few tweaks. 1. Not interested in AFLW. There should be a setting to filter out or choose not to display anything flagged as AFLW. 2. The zoom feature is ordinary. When you try and zoom it’s unstable. It will work and be fine and then other times it zooms way in or out and the screen goes white. Have tried on multiple phones with the same behaviour. 3. Stop repeating the first 6-7 displayed news entries. There’s no reason to have them up first and once you get past the videos they are repeated..Version: 9.7
