Didn't try the app, but the tech they used on the website

was awful. They tacked the 'live' video feed on top of the play-by-play, but it was often out of sync....the text would appear before the play happened on video, removing any 'excitement'. I wanted to watch Folston, but gave up because the UI was pathetic.

All tech aside, the quality of football was a significant drop off from the NFL and CFL. The owners deserved this fate. They thought they could make money by piggybacking on the NFL. They didn't deliver on quality - and how could they? The gap between NFL players and the average AAF player is huge. They needed to allow late hits, or facemasks, or hell, let someone carry a cattle prod. Give the audience some entertainment value if they are going to sit through a sub-par football game.

It was much closer to Independent Baseball -> MLB than AAA -> MLB. At least minor league baseball is built around entertainment.
