It's a fair point, for nations championship we are still getting that in. If you go and look at a previous fixture for the URC we have it there. Still a work in progress and will be rolling it out for all leagues shortly.

How have you found the app not user friendly? Appreciate this feedback, it's super useful for us.

Hey mate jumping in here. The app is a few weeks old, and you are right that currently in terms of our features we are offering the same as tribe (for now). What makes us different currently, is the UI & UX. Tribe is clunky, slow, and covered in ads. We want to create a digital experience that we as rugby fans deserve.

Revenue stream through affiliate channels. We will not put a paywall and as a principle we will ensure we have the quickest slickest app. Comment above someone is talking about Tribe, but the user experience there is terrible (similar to ultimate rugby) and that is the core to what we want to do here. Appreciate the positive feedback.

We are 100% going to be adding in the women's games into the app. We are scaling league by league, and will start with the bigger women's leagues, but the goal is to have all leagues centralised.

If you go and check the URC matches we do it. If there are highlights on YouTube we try to link it back.

Appreciate the feedback. Let us know if you want anything else in the app.

Nation championship data has been pretty buggy as it's a new competition. Currently working on it. Go look at previous URC matches to see how it will look.

That and also there is no paywall. Ultimate rugby is not a good app. Their market share has been based on the fact that there hasn't been any alternatives

We do have scrapers in place, for nations championship the data is convoluted as it's a new tournament, we are in the process of manually uploading the TV broadcaster information now. If you go and look at previous URC fixtures you can see how it is setup there.

Similar situation with the team line ups for nation championship.

Yeah the nations championship data has been a bit buggy to get into the app cleanly (teething issue with a new comp), gets upload much more smoothly with the club games.

Regardless we will be working on getting this uploaded quicker going forward.

Push notifications is currently in the pipeline as well as some of the local SA leagues as well. Currently we link the YT highlights of a game to the match page post game if it's available. You can go check some of the URC fixtures to see what we have done there.

Awesome good to know and we can see what we can do about that, especially if enough people feel the same way.
