Hi guys
Just thought I would give a quick heads up to any overseas exiles like me who are not wishing to be carrying on with Ifollow next season. The annual subscription is auto renew and is not able to be cancelled once taken out as was the case last season. Having looked into the terms and conditions you will need to email them and cancel it manually. I did this last night and they confirmed my cancellation this morning. The email address I used was ifollow@efl.com.
I thought the idea of Ifollow was great at first however due to the poor quality of the coverage I found myself watching it less and less as the season went on and I cannot justify another £120.00 or whatever it was for next season. I expect I will pay per match occasionally and I believe that the highlights are available for free anyway. :thumbup:

I thought it was excellent. Happy to renew.

For someone who was starved of watching Argyle I thought it was great to be able to watch every game, the only draw back was when they stopped allowing the audio and video at the same time

Happy to renew ,however could be a lot better and expect improvements to be made this coming season.

I thought the audio coverage was very good.

Was not eligible to receive the visual effects as I was deemed to be a UK subscriber - maybe cos of my VPN ?

Not sure what package I will choose for the new season as I am relocating.

Have emailed them today to cancel the auto-renewal.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Keep the Faith :scarf:

Was very impressed with the concept, and was great to be able to see away games i couldnt get to for work reasons. Im hopinh next season will provde a timer and a score in the top corner as minimum, commentary would be superb but do not feel that will be implemented yet.

Have recently moved abroad and am interested in this for next season. Have seen varying reports on how it works and how good it is. I realise that I could ask the providers these questions, but I have trust in the hive mind of Pasoti. So...

- Do I need to subscribe using an overseas bank account? Or will an overseas IP address when I sign up/log in do the trick?
- sounds like you get video but not audio for live games?
- what games are covered? Just league games I guess
- is it reliable? Used to hear plenty of times about Argyle player dropping out

If it’s a decent service, I think a few quid per game with all the additional content (interviews etc) is worth it and should give me enough of an Argyle fix. I’ve found a team in green and white to support here in Stockholm, but they’re top of the league so it just isn’t the same.

Thanks for any replies.

- Do I need to subscribe using an overseas bank account? Or will an overseas IP address when I sign up/log in do the trick? IP address
- sounds like you get video but not audio for live games? you have a choice audio OR video not both
-
what games are covered? Just league games I guess EFL fixtures selected for international broadcast throughout the season will not be available on iFollow, also Checkatrade Trophy matches are now available on iFollow, but there will be no Carabao Cup matches available on iFollow.

is it reliable? Used to hear plenty of times about Argyle player dropping out YES

It cost me $190.00 CDN this past season well worth it

I'm registered for the UK Audio only Service but have used it frequently outside of the UK without the need for any IP Address jiggery pokery other than occasionally using my Mobile Data to start it, then logging back into my Wifi.

I did register with another address while away and used my UK Credit Card to pay per view a couple of matches on a Tablet but continued audio via my phone.

Currently, they are taking a monthly subscription for my UK based service. Not sure if that continues through the close season though !

It would be nice if iFollow plan to improve the service next season. The lack of scoreboard and timer weren't huge problems but they certainly would be "nice to haves".

Allowing commentary again via the 2 tab method or some other way would be great too.

I’m returning to uk.
If I sign up while I’m out of uk will I be able to get video when I return?

ChepstowGreen · May 22, 2018

iFollow should be available to all regardless of where they live, but, aside from that, the points raised above sounds exceptionally easy to sort out.

The scoreboard/timer alone could be automated across every match in the league very easily using simple software linked to a central system.

The audio / video thing is plain bizarre, it may be due to concerns over different latency but of course that can also be sorted easily too.

budock · May 22, 2018

Stupid question perhaps but how much money does each club make from this. Each club make the same amount or does it depend on the division etc?

No, unless you use a VPN and still "appear" to be out of the UK when using iFollow.

I paid one monthly payment and they've not taken another penny at any point and I've had great access for the whole seasonal for around a fiver
