Still the best!
Despite having used nxCricket both on my iPhone and more recently iPad for the last three and a half seasons, I still give others a try to see if it can improved upon by another, but I'm yet to find one with the ease and effectiveness of this one.
My only negative feedback I have to give other scorers at matches when they ask about it, is that unlike TCS, there is no direct uplink to the ECB's Play-Cricket website, though I always stress that nxCricket is so much more user friendly.
*UPDATE*
Great to see the inclusion of Play-Cricket in the app now, that was the only issue I had with it...
... Just as my club are about to move to a different league this season that don't use Play-Cricket. D'oh!!! 😲

Great Scoring Application, few bugs here there
At first I have been using your App for many years now and I must say it is the best scoring app I have come across. I was probably the first of the few who might have purchased when it is initially launched. This app has matured quite a lot in times and I have seen it all from a very buggy to an efficient and accurate as it can be. So thank you. It has been a wonderful experience so far. I at least has referred 50+ teams to use this.
I have been encountering couple of issues with the app which I have noticed and thought to report.
1. Team stats for a season does not calculate correct. Number of wickets and total scores are the few that I have encountered were incorrect. For example batsman's and bowler's individual stats differs from entire Batsmen or Bowler's stats page.
2. With intense use. The app freezes and I have to kill the app and relaunch it to make it function again.
3. When viewing the score card within the match by pressing the total. It takes away the toolbar 'Score' which takes us back to the score book. The workout I have it to kill the app and relaunch to bring it back.

Great App
I have been using this for several years and taught several novice scorers to use it, which can be extremely useful when on tour. One request - can we have a default for not having the Wagon Wheel on - that is THE thing which most often confounds a novice, so having it off by default would bee a great option

Excellent App.. Even worth its high price
Very good all round app to perform scoring. Scoring is extremely easy and can be even done by a fielder !!! One of the best things is undo buttons ( undo last ball, last over or ANYWHERE in the match.
Couple of things..
It is missing - max overs per bowler, and ability to send a just one match (not the result, but the match, just like when using bluetooth) to another nxcricket app user, right now you have to send the entire nxcricket backup file. it would be perfect to be able to send that.
One last thing is inability to add multiple players from contacts in one go. We have all players from other teams in gmail, and you have to select one player, save it, go back, select another player save it etc.. if implemented would make importing contacts from gmail/addressbook a breeeze.
I would still give 5 stars to this app, inspite of these shortcomings. I hope the developers take this as constructive criticism and improve the app to make these changes in future updates.
8/26/2014: two years after my initial review , in this review I would still keep my 5 star rating!!!
Updates have been added, albeit a little slowly, but worth the wait.
Few other suggestions for developers -
(1) add catches stats to tournament , similar to batting and bowling stats.
(2) Possibly a fantasy league type points to allow certain points for runs, wickets, catches runouts, in order to define best all rounder for tournament...
(3) ability to easily publish live scorecard to a website or FTP or rss or something easy by a click from within the app.. So that scorer can click a button in the app after every ball or over etc, and ppl who are following a match can get update. It could be a personal hosted website or similar.. That way the scores are not stuck inside the app and unleashed to the spectators who cannot go to the ground!
These changes would add icing to an already wonderful app!

Excellent for coaches/scorers
*update* I have also noticed that players when added will automatically be designated as captain, which is inconvenient. I also found during today's matches, a couple of times names of boys from the opposing team were on the list to be selected as a bowler/batter, instead of just my team list. Only happened twice, but may be worth a look. Wagon wheel still needs to be aligned properly too.
I coach cricket professionally and have used this app for 3 years now. I have found this app to be so useful for scoring and for reviewing the matches. It's easy to use and offers a great range of stats that younger teams especially find very cool.
Only minor issues I have found is that when viewing the scorecard, the tab to go "back" will sometimes disappear when it's not supposed to and make it very difficult to return to the scoring page. The other is that the wagon wheel sections are from the centre of the pitch, rather than where batter stands at the end of the pitch.
I also want to commend the developers for taking on board feedback constantly and working to improve the app.

Brilliant
I recently purchased your app and used it tonight for the first time at
my sons under 10 match. It is brilliant!!
At $8 this is expensive for
an app and may put a few people off trying it, but it is worth every cent once you try it out. I've even just purchased the IPad version.

This app is awesome apart from setup
We'll done good job, a little difficult to setup but then awesome.
The best of its kind... but be warned
nxCricket is busy with its presentation: other apps are cleaner with the iTouch real estate. It also is a premium product with commensurate price tag. In scoring a casual pick up game consider Runs: Cricket Scoring at a more reasonable price.
Once the price is forgotten, nxCricket is outstanding. It offers multiple innings (other apps DON'T) and is highly polished, sensitive in adding data (including suggesting the bowler) and offers even more graphs (generate a match report in PDF to see what I mean!) Most of all it is an actively maintained app by a developer who knows his cricket (yes, a no ball counts as a ball faced).
Highly recommended.

3rd season of use.
Simple, intuitive, effective, and now completely flexible to deal with all forms of the game and scoring oddities I've come across, including younger youth. Have looked at others, but this remains the best.
Even helps inexperienced scorers (me 2 years ago) get the hang of scoring.
Provides statistical and analytical information to help coaches, and players own awareness of their game.
Makes it possible to score and watch the match, not just the paper. Now upgraded to hd version for I-pad. Have been sharing information easily between versions with others. HD offers more information visible on single screen.

Great
I think it's a great app but second innings doesn't work and it needs a declaration feature.
