User Reviews

Users praise the app as a portable, easy-to-use rugby laws reference with useful videos and strong value for referees and players, even working offline. However, multiple reviews flag stability issues (crashes, slow startups) and outdated content, plus concerns about big updates causing new problems. Overall, it’s a solid reference tool when it runs smoothly, but it needs better stability and timely rule updates.

Pros

Portable rugby laws reference on your iPhone — effectively a law-book substitute that many users find indispensable.
Easy to use and well laid out UI, making navigation and reference quick.
Helpful video content and practical clarifications that aid understanding and dispute resolution.
Valued by referees and players as a go-to reference tool (invaluable for officials).
Works offline / referenceable without internet, which is highly useful on pitchside calls.

Cons

Frequent crashes and startup failures; the app often won’t open or loads very slowly.
Content is outdated and not updated to current rugby rules (e.g., 2024-25), leading to confusion.
Large, disruptive updates that degrade performance or introduce new issues.

Recent reviews

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!

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.
