Whenever I have to use this app to watch something there's constant issues. Today's problem is subscription plans can't load. Guess I don't get to find out how awful the connection will be

Constant buffering, casting is my only option and it stops working every 5 to 6 minutes. Can't purchase TRN on Roku because a popup says that the email and password is already taken. So can't subscribe that way. Really would like to watch my favorite sport but getting tired of fighting to watch, via a platform that doesn't require a degree in programming to enjoy, this grand sport.

The streaming is so s#*t! Constant buffering, and it doesn't work across devices. I paid a subscription fee and then was asked to subscribe and pay again on game day, 2 days later!

Wow. TRN has been charging me $6.99 for 6 months after claiming they canceled my subscription because they no longer offer the monthly payments. So why do they keep charging me? I just wanted to re-activate my subscription to watch GPR and they are literally not allowing it. A little deeper dig shows they have been charging me this whole time! I still can't access the matches! Good luck getting any valid response from their customer service (only by email)

Doesn't work reliably with Chromecast. Why would you have a TV app that doesn't work with TVs? Premiership should be embarrassed. Complete and utter failure.

Tried to watch some of the new Premiership Rugby season. I have a current subscription, was just charged for it. Roku and Android apps just tell me I have to subscribe to view TRN+ content. I emailed support because this seems like a fairly simple fix. Decided to write this comment and leave a one star rating because I haven't heard back. I wish Peacock would pick Premiership back up. Oh well.

What a terrible waste of time. It's almost as if Major League Rugby actually wants the sport to fail in the US. All of the apps - browser-based, Android, Apple and Roku - absolutely suck. The interfaces make the 90's look like the brave new world, the subscription content doesn't even work, customer service is non-existent, basic functionality isn't even built in (you can't even log in on the Roku app for christ's sake). What a shameful waste of rugby fans' time and money.

Terrible app, clunky, hard to use on a TV, difficult to control subscription, poor quality/resolution, opaque company, hard to do business with, app seems to have been developed about 15 years ago and then never updated to work with current tech. Worst thing that could happen to Rugby in the US. Whoever is responsible for this joke needs to be fired immediately.

What a shameful app platform. It is not available for download on varying types of devices. There is no, or extremely limited, ability to cast. Navigation within the app is clunky and not intuitive. On top of all that they want me to pay to watch most content. I will not be paying for such a terrible product and I urge MLR and all other leagues to move away from this platform as quick as possible.

Streaming live games from this app is garbage. It's a necessary evil since it's the only way to watch MLR games. Watch from the website instead if you can. The app needs a major update or MLR needs to partner with a streaming partner that has the infrastructure to broadcast live game at a decent quality.
