I tried to log in to Ifollow using Safari on my iphone when I was holiday to listen the Accy game but gave up after a few minutes. Was saying it didn't recognise my details. Roll forward to today...downloaded the app on my iPhone, logged in no problem and the subscription says "Monthly Pass UK" with a last billed date and a next bill date. Clicked to listen Shez's interview today and played no problem. Seems the migration has been done for me but took a while. Not sure what I'll get for the monthly pass...if it's commentary and highlights like with Latics Player then I'm happy. As long as it works and doesn't habitually cut out. I would add, the app does keep self-quitting every now and then but I am on the unreleased IOS 11 iphone software using a beta version I downloaded. That could be the reason why it is having some issues...or it just could be a little buggy anyway on all platforms. These Apps usually are for a bit until they iron them out with updates. For those who were on Latics Player paying monthly and just want commentary for the away games they don’t get to... My monthly £5/mth subscription worked perfectly fine today. A bit behind timewise (as always) and I was at the game so can expect a minute or so delay but otherwise it was faultless. Except the result ?

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Yep. It's a thumbs up from me as well, but I'm in the cosseted area of the country where we have decent broadband and what not. Someone must stop Roy from kicking the cable out though. Tie his legs together or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1onheartNew Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 11 minutes into the second half and it started streaming; for two minutes. Then it buffered for two then streamed for two until the end of the game. Nothing at all on the commentary except for the half time music!

So at least 1. Well 1.5 if you include Stagger Lee. But he is a misguided deluded New South Welshman so he only counts as half. Actually as I only got 34 minutes, it's technically less than 1.

Stevie_J Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 It's a great idea but you just knew it would be executed terribly, didn't you? Just catching up on this thread and realise I'm far from the only one who wouldn't part with any money before finding out whether anyone actually saw anything on Saturday.

BP1960 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Managed to subscibe after the 3rd attempt, even though I never reached the confirmation page at any time, hope it hasn't taken 3 lots of money from me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Why...how many devices do you want to watch it on? You can watch it on any device but only on one at any one time. Edited August 9, 2017 by oafc1955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It won't let me listen on my phone because I'm logged in on my laptop. Quite a lot of people have both a phone and a computer. Latics Player didn't require you to log out on one device in order to log in on another, therefore iFollow are charging more money for a more limited service.

Scapegoat Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Tried to sign up using VPN - but the form won't let me pay as my billing address doesn't match my VPN location. Anyone any ideas? Do I just create the account browsing from the UK and then use the VPN to view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 On the ifollow FAQ's... Do I need a local bank account? Yes, to register for iFollow outside of the UK or Republic of Ireland, you will need a local bank account and local address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagger Lee Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 On 30/06/2017 at 8:36 AM, Stagger Lee said: I would imagine they are all over this VPN stuff and would not be surprised if the first month or so saw tens of thousands people paying them a subscription because the VPN seemed at first to negate the the systems they have in place. Suddenly they 'discover' a way to block them after they bank the money - a lot of money - then shut them all down and keep the cash. It's actually a great business model, people can't sue them or claim back their money and they don't have to provide the bandwidth to service them. Kerching! Just thought I would repeat this for those trying to find a way of not giving Oldham Athletic their rightful money for watching them play. Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable that avoiding paying Oldham money is so celebrated on this forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Nope, it's a great service for expats but I would be more comfortable with it if illegal streaming from within the U.K. was an impossible option ...we have enough armchair 'fans' as it is!!

I am, and have been for 30 years, a season ticket holder. However would be willing to pay $130 for the away games and the odd home game I cannot make due to work / social commitments. Apart from the fact I don't have an foreign bank account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
