User Reviews

Users value having AFL access via the app, including live games and replays, and some enjoy good casting/AirPlay performance. However, the app is widely criticized for stability issues (crashes, freezes), a weak video player (poor controls, no reliable scrubbing/rewind), download/offline problems, stale content on the home/live sections, and slow or unhelpful support. Overall sentiment favors fundamental fixes over feature additions, with offline support and current content being the most frequently requested improvements.

Pros

Access to AFL content via subscription (live games, replays, and shows).
Casting/AirPlay support works well for viewing on a TV for many users.
Streaming can be reliable for some users with rare issues.
Allows watching AFL content in overseas markets (e.g., the United States).

Cons

Frequent bugs and instability: crashes, bugs, and freezes are common.
Poor playback controls and navigation: tiny scrub/seek controls, no reliable fast-forward or rewind, and scrubbing can cause freezes.
Downloads/offline viewing not working or severely limited (incl. no offline watching).
Content on the main screens (Live/Upcoming and replays) is often outdated and hard to find current games.
Poor or unresponsive customer support and slow issue resolution.

This app has been responsible for ruining over a dozen games for me. I live in the U.S. so it’s one of the only ways Incan watch footy. It consistently shows coverage at the end of a game instead of the start even when I choose the start and not live. Also, the fast forwarding and rewinding is extremely poor if you have to do it for any more than a few seconds. Major fail.

This app is horrible for another year. I’ve put on a game to watch and it is actually a different game? When I tried to access it by pressing the game that was incorrectly loaded, it wasn’t it either. No game. The user interface couldn’t be worse. How is it that you can’t scrub forward? Lazy design. No one would think this is an acceptable solution. The game should be loaded from the first bounce and when paying this much, it shouldn’t be loaded with commercials. I vowed a couple of years back not to pay for it again - I should’ve listened to myself EDIT! App goes from worse to worse. Trying to watch a game live and all I’m getting is some stupid ‘In the back pocket’ betting show? Tried many times to watch either game live. There’s no chance this app could be worse. And no way to contact support to fix this 😡
