What makes the best NRL live scores app?
"Best" depends on what you value, but for most fans it comes down to five things: speed, lock-screen scores, a live ladder, no gambling ads and spoiler control. Here's the checklist - and how Six Again measures up against it.
The five-point checklist
- Fast updates. A live score that lags the broadcast isn't live. The score should move within moments of the play.
- Scores without opening the app. The best apps use lock-screen live scores - Live Activities on iPhone, Live Updates on Android - so the score is just there every time you glance at your phone.
- A live ladder and the full draw. The score only means something in context: where your team sits, and who they play next.
- No gambling ads. Most footy apps give betting odds more screen space than the footy. It doesn't have to be that way.
- Spoiler control. Watching the replay tonight? You need a way to check the draw without the app blurting out the result.
How Six Again stacks up
Six Again was built around exactly that checklist:
- Fast score updates for every NRL and State of Origin match - and an app that's quick to use
- Auto-starting lock-screen scores: follow your teams once, and the live score appears before kick-off - on iPhone (with Dynamic Island, Apple Watch and CarPlay) and Android 16+
- The live ladder, the round-by-round draw, score worm, timeline, stats and lineups
- No betting odds, no gambling ads, no bookmaker sponsorship - anywhere
- Avoid Spoilers mode for replay watchers
The app is free to download, with no account needed. Lock-screen live scores are free for your first 3 matches, then $9.99/year (AUD/NZD; other currencies vary) - in-app live scores, the ladder and the draw stay free.
