Ifollow

[silent majority]

I've had contact with the club and at the moment they can offer the following. We will be trying to put a better guide together when we can understand a few of the mechanics of the system better, hopefully within the next week.

So, start here;

And then read this as well;

That was the circle it kept sending us in last night.

I know. I've spoken to the club again and we expect to have something better before the next broadcast which is the Owls game.

Well, I managed to sign up from New Zealand easily enough.
Fingers crossed it works properly come season kick off or I've just spunked $200 on nothing.

If they're broadcasting the Owls friendly, guess I'll be able to test it out then.

Gonna have some late nights, but looking forward to seeing a proper amount of Rovers action for the first time in nearly a decade.

I'm in Auckland. Been here nearly 7 years now.

[redbrez]

Will there be commentary  today? And will we be able to listen?

[CottyRover]

I seem to have found the match centre. It only gives the Guisely line up and a message saying commentary starts soon. Even though match should have started

[Ldr]

Same here Cotty, suspect that refers to the (1 line so far) text commentary

[bigal]

Has anyone got commentary

[redbrez]

No   

[glosterred]

No commentary but a kick off time of 16.01


COYR

[CottyRover]

Just live text, no coomentary

[Alickismyhero]

rubbish springs to mind

[Ldr]

Have to assume the facilities at the ground are unavailable for live commentary

[CottyRover]

Live text not very live. Not been updated for neatly 10 minutes

[Alickismyhero]

even the live text appears to have died!!!!

[Alickismyhero]

Couldn't the text person say

 "there is no commentary on todays game" 


Crap communication sorry Donny a very poor effort.

[Alickismyhero]

one more point.............There is no facility to make a comment to the commentary team via the WALL. That should be corrected.

[glosterred]

You get more updates following @liamhoden on twitter

Or @DRFC_ITEN 

*cheap plug alert*

[RoversAlias]

In all seriousness though, I've seen many clubs Twitter feeds apologising for iFollow issues today and last week so it's not exclusive to Rovers.

[deebee]

I'm afraid i will not be following after this.

Worth noting this...............

Thinking of signing up for this but the comments are putting me off slightly.
Does this service just provide commentary or do we get to view the action as well?
I'm based outside the UK if that makes any difference.

It'll make a hell of a difference to you. Being overseas means you'll get live streaming of DRFC games.

Update!

The iFollow mobile app should be available later this week (possibly curing the ipad problems?)

The app will be necessary to access live streaming on tablet and mobile

The app will also be necessary to watch VOD content

The app will be branded to each club and available for iOS and Android

Alterations will be made to the webpage shortly to reflect that

Or as in my case, being a UK resident and a subscriber for many years you may not even be able to get them to acknowledge that you have an account with them at all, let alone get live streaming.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Sadly for me after speaking with the EFL Digital technical team, the service is no longer compatible with my devices, so I arranged to cancel an refund my subscriptions.

In my case, bring back Player, all is forgiven! 😃

[PDX_Rover]

No app available yet for iOS. They're cutting it fine.

I use the app on my iPad. Is that not IOS?

[KiwiRover]

There are links to the Android and IOS apps on the website now
