Ultimate Rugby Reviews

I’ve been using UltimateRugby since it came out as I was living in America and it was the most comprehensive way to follow rugby. Since then they have added almost every major rugby series globally which is quite a feat. But lately there has been way too many advertisements (mostly NZ related) and the introduction of the subscription to see anything about the lower ranked series is ridiculous. Also the related news area should just be removed since there are very few current articles and almost none are directly related to the teams and current events.

I’m almost at the end of my rope with UltimateRugby and will likely revert to following teams Twitter accounts for live game updates over UR.

I have been using UltimateRugby for 2 years and have always struggled with getting access to all Content notwithstanding that fact that I have paid for a full year subscription. My renewal date was 20 Jan 2020 and paid via iTunes account and I now have more issues gaining full access to all content. I have to keep clicking restore content. Surely once you have received the subscription UltimateRugby should give full access to all content without question. Please sort out this irritating bug.
What’s worse is I am now being forced to accept the Six Nations special at 40c a week if I want full access to ten sheets etc. this has now verging on a scam type app.

This was an essential app for anyone who loves Rugby. It has all the data when you needed it and just a few ads. Now it seems a desperate decision to seek subscriptions at every opportunity is the new policy. Data that was free is now moved behind the paywall. Instead of adding new functions and add ons they have reduced the free functionality so as to annoy the user into buying a subscription. Really bad form. You can see this from all the reviews. Shortsighted and greedy.

I was looking for an all encompassing rugby app that covered all competitions and clubs. Ultimate Rugby is close to what I want with one important exception - it does not cover Rugby League and I really want Super League and NRL, in particular, thrown into the mix. Guess I'll keep looking for an app that covers Union and league!

I used to use this exclusively to keep track of fixtures in local USA time so I could plan to find venues showing the games live. Then I got a new phone and downloaded UltimateRugby on it - to discover there is now an annual subscription. It sure isn’t worth it. I also agree with another reviewer that the news tab on UltimateRugby is a total waste of time. This is definitely an app that has outlived its usefulness to me.

Don’t pretend to be a free app if you’re not. Just accept that 90% of your users will find all the free info somewhere else. I’ll be one of those.
Everyone needs to make money, but a successful free app needs a decent sales team to find relevant adds that don’t hinder the user experience - clearly you can’t achieve that, so just delete this thing and create an app that costs $20..

UltimateRugby had potential. The user interface wasn't that great and it was confusing to use at times. It did however do a good job of providing team info, fixtures and the like. With the recent switch to paying for a premium subscription, I'm going to delete UltimateRugby as it no longer doors the job.

When I downloaded UltimateRugby 2yrs ago it was great with access to nearly all major competitions (I’m Aussie living in USA with French family). Local times games were on and all. But lately can’t access lower divisions and just now no teams show up on the schedule just scores. What’s the point?
Have deleted it for good. Will be looking for an alternative.

Downloaded UltimateRugby couple of years ago. Used to be great and well organized. But now that it’s necessary to pay to have access to any content regarding a single game I will delete it. Only the scores are accessible for free. And we can get the scores anywhere on internet so goodbye.

The new subscription payment model after already charging for the pro version is pretty dodgy. UltimateRugby isn't even very well designed. Was nice having all rugby scores in a single app, but the HSBC and Fox Super Rugby apps are free and far better designed.

Seems like a decent app for following the men's World Cup and their other games. I appreciate the calendar and general set up of UltimateRugby .. But where are the women's teams? I only see 5 to follow, and not even the USA Eagles women. What about some of the WPL teams? I'd like to see a bit more growth in this aspect.

I used to use UltimateRugby exclusively for Rugby info and it was amazing. Now, nearly everything is being a paywall and the interface is terrible. Shame that greed destroyed a good thing, but what else is new?

I have had UltimateRugby for years. I don’t care about adverts but if you want to monetise it, try making the content worth paying for instead of content like player lists I can get anywhere- just makes UltimateRugby annoying.

Can’t edit the leagues I no longer follow/are out of date, looks like it was designed on a 90’s-era windows system, clunky navigation, and all-around frustrating to use.

All the info that is now subscription based can be found elsewhere for free. Who is going to pay 20 bucks for UltimateRugby now?! Ridiculous! Good while it lasted I suppose. Paywalls where not really necessary send companies into irrelevancy.

This was my go to app, however now you cannot do anything without paying a yearly subscription to see things that I can get elsewhere for free. They boast about listening to suggestions, but there still isn’t a proper game clock. Deleting UltimateRugby now.

I would love UltimateRugby but I can login. It requires Facebook but it keeps telling me I don’t have permission, and to go to device settings to fix that. When I do. I get nothing.

Subscription ads are way too much to deal with. App itself is slow and sluggish. I decided to uninstall after many happy years due to new push subscription ads on every load.. Sad..

Impossible to see any standings or scores now

Used to be excellent. Now, it's useless. The only thing I ever see is upgrade ad. Deleting app now.
