Hi everyone,

Just trying to get some feedback on the IRFU mobile phone App for Iphone. Have many people downloaded this? Do you find it usefull? Does it give you enough information? Do you think its missing anything? Is there anything you would change?

I appreciate any feedback,

Thanks

Are you the developer?

I use Android, not iPhone, so can't give you any specific feedback, but I have never heard of the IRFU app, which I'm kind of surprised at since I go to and watch games on tv regularly. Where is it being advertised?

The kind of info I'd want, and I'm sure you've covered plenty of these, are:

Internationall fixtures with local k/o times
Latest News
HEC/Magners fixtures with local k/o times
Player profiles

Any plans for Android version?

Second the call for an Android version.

Don't have an iphone so dunno what its like I'm afraid.

+1 on android app.

Its grand, a lot faster that the IRFU website itself which I find very sluggish (takes ages to download even on a broadband connection, and I daren't try it on my iPhone over UMTS!)

The Leinster app is great IMO, works well, although live scores would be a bonus that front.

Tried hard to like the ERC's new app, which I downloaded on Friday. Its very feature packed and does live scores. Unfortunately it keeps unexpectatly quiting on me...

I find that the ERC app uses lots of resources but is still performs very inconsistently. It also gives me a tonne of warning messages anytime I do anything wrong, then last week it said I pressed the wrong button (even though loads of other people were doing exactly the same thing) and now it's not letting me back in for a month.

Useful, but really needs the Heineken Cup Tables.

i quite like it
its handy when you cant watch a game
live scores are good
provincial section is brilliant
but international news needs more

Its very good, can you get BBC1 on it?

During the Autumn Internationals I would use it to check the squad/team selection, but they would never be there!:rolleyes: Ended up just going to the Irish Times website or the IRFU website. i.e. NEWS SECTION NEEDS UP-TO-THE-MINUTE UPDATING

Honest question ... what is the app for? Is it just "to have an iPhone app" or is it supposed to offer more? IMHO, it doesn't really offer anything. 'News' - I can get elsewhere. I'd like to see it offer a reflink for matches (cost is fine) and match stats. It needs to offer something I can't get elsewhere... right now, it doesn't.
