Ratings and reviews

EDIT: Was 4 stars, now 1 because it just wont start since the update. PREVIOUS: It's ok for the basic laws but it could do better. The search function is poor, but there is important content missing. IRB have issued clarifications and guidelines but these are not included even though they are on the laws website. They could also benefit from including HIA protocols etc. I also struggle to leave the app - no exit button and pressing back stops at the main screen.

The new version is slick, and easy to navigate. The addition of a search function is very handy, and the interpretation guidelines will be very useful. It's available in 11 languages - particularly useful for me, since I often have to referee in two languages!

Crashing when attempting to open the app. Worked brilliantly till the last update. Used it regularly before as a referee, refreshing sanctions in my head before games. Now it won't even open. Who approved this update, definitely not what you'd expect from a world governing body, embarrassing.
