Rugby Watch

It works more or less as expected to record the score of the games and the cards and sustitutions of players. But Unfortunately the scoring can't be exported or saved once the game is finished. So you must kept the app open otherwise you lost the scoring.

Can’t trust it alone. It’s easy to use and can record a lot of data, sadly it has a habit of crashing and it just resets and all data is lost.

Used the app in game for the first time today thought it worked well and it helps you manage a game a lot easier. However I feel that a supporting app on your phone that syncs all info would be a fantastic additional tool. When you are reviewing the details of the game it really hard to read the info on a iWatch screen.

Is there a way to alter the timer? I.e in rugby league different age groups have different match lengths or is it only 40 mins?

I have loved using this app as a referee, very user friendly and dependable BUT today, for the first time, I was using the app, finished the game and it has LOST the game in the history. Therefore no try times or card times and it means having to revert back to pen and paper in case this happens again. So, great app, but if it loses the data of a game in its history, not good at all if you are relying on it solely.

I’ve enjoyed using this app this season but for the last month I’ve struggled to end games and the app has crashed, not saving the score.

I recently had a problem with the Rugby watch app and the resolution in case anyone else has this problem. This has occurred twice after updates. Problem: The App disappeared after I updated the watch (Apple Ultra 1). It was not visible on my phones’ purchased apps It was recorded as purchased on the App store. Therefore I could not download it as it was recorded as already downloaded ‘on the phone and watch’ My solutions that did not work: Resetting both watch and phone and reconnecting them did not download the app to my watch. What a PITA! Apple support. They could see the app but just advised reseting the phone and watch. The solution that did work. On the watch. Pressing the crown and asking Siri ’to open the Rugby watch app’. The watch app is then opened in a option bar that gives you the option to download it Download and then it is back on the watch. (All original settings are lost) The RW App also causes extreme battery drain unless it is deleted and reloaded so I have deliberately removed it then reloaded it after Apple updates.

When you pause the time it’s a bit hit or miss if the watch will vibrate after 60secs. Also if you mark a yellow card in second half it can be a random time to count down. Would also like to see penalty times in the history of the game.

Great tool, been using for a little while now and it’s a great step forward in officiating management, saves having to carry scorecards and pencils. The only thing I’d add is when using the YC function, is to sound or vibrate when it ends so you know exactly when the time ends. A couple of times now it’s over-ran for me which can be a negative. But other than that, a quality tool.

Did my first game today using this app. I like it a lot. I have 4 yellows in the game and had the penalty count visible. To get 5 stars, I would like to see an update to show when the penalties were given in the timeline post game history. This would be useful to see trends and if a penalty escalation process was followed correctly.
