AFL Live Official App for Android
Unaustralian app... Absolute rubbish.... no external display allowed. .. AFL & telstra should be ashamed of yourselves. .. Why isn't this mentioned in changes to updates? Otherwise it used to be a useful app... Will make an official complaint to the telecommunications ombudsman because you won't show this on reviews Also social media will hear about this
AFL should focus on the strengths of our great game and stop trying to be like the NBA. There are too many gambling ads in the app which makes it unsuitable for my kids to use. Only good thing about the app is that it diesnt xount towards your Internet data usage for Telstra customers.
Can't view the game play on a screen bigger than 4". Such a pain to have the game reduced to 1/4 of a screen and the rest taken up by stats. Surely Foxtel and Telstra can give us the ability to view of the game on smart TV for the money.
A few years ago I left a really positive review because the app had come far from its humble beginnings. The 2017 update was no good, really buggy and lagging interface, and the video player makes no effort to reconnect and so at the slightest connection issue will drop you out with an ugly error. Has much to be improved, hoping for a turn around in 2018.
Bought subscription to watch Grand final. Saw a little bit but then kept getting the notice saying only available in Australia.... location settings on phone turned on... really disappointed family here to miss out.
The News won't load properly AGAIN! I use this app predominantly to read News because it has all the latest & the best. Makes it a bit difficult when the articles WON'T LOAD. We had similar issues earlier, you fixed them & now they are back. Please do something about this...
Love it. All the stats, all the players, all the news; everything you need to know. And a little siren sounds to tell you games are about to start. Little things that could be changed, but nothing worth worrying about. Brilliant app. :)
Open news stories and blank pages load. Frustratingly slow. Swipe between stories is too sensitive causing stories to change when scrolling down to read. App used to work fine. Been very bad for months now. Dissapointed.
At the moment it says the service is unavailable. Is anyone else having this issue. It states that my subsciption expires on the 31/8/2018. I would like to watch the upcoming draft .
Frustrating app if you want to read news articles. They load fine if I use the actual website on my phone but the app just hangs. Loads the ads just fine on the app but no article.
Honestly telstra apps are just so poor. UI is rubbish. Compulosry updates on the eve of finals, thats is so cheeky. Paywall content is only worthwhile if you can cast. Get it together. I just dont understand the 5 star ratings, go download footylive and check stats during a game with that. Change your life..
Great source of news. Pity about the average developers behind the scenes leaving bugs everywhere. The app needs some serious maintenance BUT, still the best source of football news available and it's still my most used app.
Why is this app catered for people overseas? There seems to be no way to watch AFL in Australia online?? Blatantly false advertising. No option for live games at all...and terrible connection to boot! the entire AFL has become a joke..but as one reviewer pointed out..telstra is covered under the umbrella of the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman. Seems like a great idea to get things changed. The entire app/website experience is unacceptable. First year I won't get to watch the grand final. Thanks a lot.
Took the entire season for the app to stop crashing every 2 minutes. $89 bucks later, thanks a lot
Slow, often poor quality video. Stats don't load in real time without consistent refreshing. Unable to cast on larger screen, rubbish all round
There's just something inherently wrong with this app... I haven't been able to pull news or match feeds for the past two months, but keep returning to the app to see if it has been updated/fixed - today, it's decided to not even be able to detect either of my active WiFi or cellular connections... The reviews are telling me I'm not the only one having problems. If I were the AFL, I'd be having a strong word with the developers because this app is a brand marketing nightmare.
Very difficult to find what i want ie. Finals matches pkayed AND to come!! Very difficult to negotiate the app...much lreferred oreviius one - faR too complicted and not user friendly!!!!!
Doesnt show finals fixtures apart from the current weekend. If it is in there i cant find it.... So still not good. last years app was actually easier to use.
I booed Adam goodes because of his style of play,he was a dog of a player who didn't care about anyone's safety and his treatment of the 13 year old girl..but because the a.f.l want to make him a cultural ambassador. Or an a.f.l commission employee on his retirement at the end of 2015..the a.f.l called me and everyone else who booed a racist.. Now I follow and go to port Melbourne games. with my 2 brothers and our 8 children. ..I'm not going to pay my money and get called a racist when I'm not. ...get stuffed..I wrote this review 3 years ago and still no reply..????.your silence is defending ...and called ignorance ..and avoidance..
Love the app. Given that I live outside of Australia, I hate the Telstra customer exclusive content. How does an overseas fan access that content?
I've upped it from 1 star to 5. In 2017 there was significant improvement from the previous year. Streaming live games were great. FINALLY got it right, well done!
Does the job. Scores, stats, information and news. Media content is fine. Layout is a tad cluttered but it meets my needs in regards to the AFL
Poor app. Crashes and freezes. Many times ceases loading without a refresh option on all pages. News stories feed into each other in a very annoying way such that scrolling to read often accidentally takes you suddenly to the next article.
totally designed for A-grade connectivity only. if roaming, text pages never load until image loaded, so if cxn is poor then pages take forever to load. some offline pod functionality would be useful.
This app sucks. Articles take forever to load and never load properly. Half the time after it finally loads (on 4g network) it's the completley wrong article. Terrible to navigate and search. An all round terrible app.
Love being able to follow the AFL on this app but I really dislike the feature which automatically scrolls to a new article when you reach the bottom of another article.
Does the job. I get to watch the games anywhere, data free, and with excellent quality. Not the best for the news, but that's about it.
AFL, TELSTRA, FOXTEL 3 of the biggest money hungry companies out there. How about making something that's not about money, but make it for the fans, the fans deserve it
Telstra you bunch of flogs why the f#$÷ would you change this app right on finals bunch of f#$@ing idiots!!!!!!
Delivers the game with crystal clear strategy. Stats are good but needs a way for the game to fill the entire screen on a tablet. Gets better every year.
When I got the Teltra Buzz phone l was able to access live video coverage .8weeks ago I lost live coverage Why?
The AFL is a joke. After the free kicks that handed West Coast a game and that free kick after the siron even though he wasn't taken high. I'm leaving my support of the AFL. But will still support PORT amd delete this app.
The live play isn't exactly "live" it lags about 2 minutes from real game time. I've noticed that when i watch it on my phone leave the room for another thing with it playing on the TV and the TV is ahead of the app. Its annoying and needs to be fixed
The hidden scores are a joke, completely pointless. Unhide them and you'll get a 5* rating.
Same as others - news stories may or may not load, usually not. Waste of time bothering
I just love afl and, the AFL app helps me keep up to date with all the games and i can watch the games live.
Really informative and has good notifications. The livestreaming can be a tad laugh sometimes but overall good
What kind of rat bastards don't let you stream overseas. 60 USD to stream on holidays. This is a bad app and you should all feel bad.
So according this AFL app is Samsung Galaxy Note8 the only phone that is not rooted? Just not good enough Telstra

Don't like how the news stories lean into the next one. I'll click the story I want thanks. When a page is still loading and you try and look further down you automatically move to the next news story. Bad feature.
