Looking for a new NRL app? Here's what's changed
If you're hunting for a new footy app, it's usually because the old one is slow, cluttered, filled with ads or pushing odds at you. The good news: phones have quietly gained features that change how live scores can work - and a new generation of apps is built around them.
Phones changed. Most footy apps didn't.
The big NRL apps were designed a decade ago, when "live scores" meant opening an app and refreshing. Since then, iPhone gained Live Activities and the Dynamic Island, and Android 16 added Live Updates - purpose-built ways to keep a live event on your lock screen, updating silently in place. An app designed before those features exists treats them as an afterthought, if it supports them at all.
What a new NRL app looks like
Six Again is a new NRL scores app built natively around those features, from scratch:
- Lock-screen first. Follow your teams once and the live score starts on your lock screen automatically before every match - Live Activities on iPhone, Live Updates on Android 16+, plus Apple Watch and CarPlay.
- Just the footy. No betting odds, no gambling ads, no bookmaker logos - a small subscription is the whole business model.
- The full picture. The live ladder, the round-by-round draw, score worm, scoring timeline, player stats and lineups for every NRL and State of Origin match.
- Genuinely quick. The app opens straight to your matches, and moving between the score, the ladder and the draw is instant. Plus no account or sign-up, and Avoid Spoilers mode for replay watchers.
Switching takes a minute
There's nothing to migrate - download the app, follow your teams and you're done. It's free to use; 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, so you can run it alongside your current app and see which one you reach for.
A footy app that feels new
Because it is. Live NRL scores built for today's iPhones and Androids.
