Watch AFL 4+

Many fixes to make

Been over a year and still haven’t fixed:

- 10 seconds back/forward button, does not work, stays on the same play in game both phone and computer
- Pressing the play from start of game button on computer doesn’t work if the game is still going, including post game, so it ruins the game if you are trying to not know the score
- phone has many fixes to make including:
- can’t watch in the background while browsing other things on phone
- screen lock rotation does not work, it auto locks it on half screen rather than full screen the way the phone is facing
- one of the ways when having phone horizontal, it removes full screen when tilting it just the slightest bit too far. Again can easily be fixed if you implement a screen lock that actually locks it in place of the way the person is watching the game, not just locking it completely in a non full screen view and that’s it

Been over a year and none of it has been fixed, it’s poor

Don’t waste your money

Paid for a subscription to watch the grand final, had a few friends over to watch. Had a host of problems: couldn’t stream anything live, only videos from earlier in the day. I could watch live coverage on my phone but no button to stream to Chromecast/tv. Contacted support, they sent me a link and I was finally able to stream but it was so choppy that it was impossible to try and watch. Ended up with everyone huddled around my iPad, not exactly how I envisioned our night going. Even with that there were numerous times where the screen blacked out during the game and we missed seeing some important game play. Had to exit the screen and find the email link to be able to start watching again.
Customer service seemed totally on top of it UNTIL THE GAME STARTED, then all I received was canned email with no useful info. Next time the Eagles play I’ll be going to a pub

Read current reviews

I have had this app going on a year and am very satisfied. Living in the U.S. where watching live games are hard (15hr behind) the ability to turn the scores off is awesome. I like that the upcoming match times are set my local time so I do not have to continually do math. It easily pairs with my tv so I can enjoy the game on the big screen. Access to the live channel, classic games, and replays of the shows (especially Bounce) are great.

I have not had any of the problems that were listed from old reviews such as the score scrolling on the bottom of screen, hard to rewind, or shutting down.

Why not 5? I have not been able to access previous weeks of women’s matches. It can be expensive if you don’t pay for the yearly subscription. I wish the monthly subscription (30 USD/mo) was more in line with the yearly rate (approx 10 USD/mo). Lastly not really a fault of the app just the service you pay for, unlike the NFL network there are no live shows during the off season.

Go Cats!
