afl.com.au iPhone App

[Prem87]

If you want to listen to the footy via radio on your iPhone get the app TUNEIN RADIO. Honestly one of the best apps and well worth the $2.49.

It probably has every possible radio station in the world including internet stations.

The AFL app is well overpriced, the video content will just be highlights so it's not really worth it. If it had live streaming then that's another story.

Does the MMM app and so on turn off while it is broadcasting the footy?

 

[Barabbas]

At least the AFL finally did something that was Mac compatable... sort of.

Question: Roughly how much data would a footy stream use listening to TripleM (or any other station)?

It's Telstra, not AFL.

 

[Axel.]

I'm happy with Triple M's Footy Lite

What he said. Basically the same just no videos but it's free.

 

[Dont cry 4 me Riewoldt]

footy live free

cheers

Won't work. Apps like that use the streaming off the radio station websites. During AFL broadcasts those streams go down so you're forced to listen through the AFL website.

This. Very annoying.

Defienetly poor form by telstra and the AFL .

If you guys want to do your dream team on ur iPhone then go to http://aflwap.virtualsports.com.au/ in safari. Save it on your home screen or as a bookmark.

I've decided I won't be buying the AFL app every 30 days!

 

[HSSB]

This sentence hurt my face, what happened in it?

Don't know what you mean, I said that $6 a month is a stupid price, that I wish there was a lite version, although I love the look of the app and would like to get it if it wasn't $6.

Oh wait, you support Essendon.

 

[Alex99]

Does anyone know if the AFL app allow radio?

What about the MMM one?

 

[vonn]

to expensive,
no good,
footy lite by slattery is great.

You can use Tunein's web browser, to go to gameday live and listen to that link (and bookmark it)

Oh, and what about those with Jailbroken Iphones, or Ipod touches ? We could get the App for free

$6 a Month is a joke, I guess I understand why the AFL has allowed streaming only through their Website of games.

 

[Nardz]

$6/month for a crappy AFL app is absurd - what a rip off.

 

[Dry Rot]

afl website is so fail

its slow (probs cos they've got a million flash objects on each page) and gets updated late...

come to think of it, the iphone app will probably just be linked to the web site: i.e. will be slow, updated late etc...

I guess this explains why the AFL website is completely useless on an iphone.

It's also useless on a Mac and Windows. Maybe it works on a Linux machine?

This. Also you can record and rewind the stream in case you miss something.

Is it delayed by a few seconds like most Radio Streams though?

Telstra/MSN =Micro$oft.

Don't forget a former Telstra exec saying they would never sell the iPhone as Apple should "stick to their knitting".
Very strong anti Mac bias.

 

[Reveler]

just get the mms stream for the radio and plug that into a internet radio program like fstream. Works better.

 

[LongBomb]

The AFL finals app last year was ok - if only for watching video highlights afterwards in the pub.

But this pricing model is insane. Only the AFL would greedy/stupid enough to try it.
There are plenty of good apps for free or next to free.

 

[BACCS]

**** paying for it, hopefully someone has cracked it for my jailbroken iphone.

damn right, what's more with this app is when you've chosen your team, the homepage for the app starts up with relevant news/games/fixtures for your team, fantastic!

I have both Aussie Rules LIVE and the Footy Lite app from Slattery media. Why pay for an AFL app when all I want is the live score update. I am not that DESPERATE to watch video over a (probable) slow link on a small screen when I can just wait to get home. For me, it's just about the scores......
