User reviews

Do not download this app

This app is practically useless unless you upgrade to pro which costs money. You can’t even count the number of runs on it!!! 😡

SUGGESTION

Hi,

Just started using your advanced settings.

Is there a way or can you introduce a record to look back on. In case there is a discrepancy between umpires score on here and scorers scorebook.

Thanks

Great .... but

How do you record penalty runs or non standard runs e.g ball hitting helmet on field etc...

Scorer

This app can work really well for umpires and scores, meaning the timer to record a delivery by a bowler is too long, remove the timer feature (20 secs) keep in mind a spinner can be ready after a dot ball in 10 seconds or less in some cases.

Response from developer

Apologies for taking over a year to come back to you! (I'm busy with another project), thanks for using the app and thanks for the feedback. There is an option under settings to disable or modify the length of the timer. You can also choose whether or not to disable the buttons. Hope this helps and again apologies for not keeping a closer eye on reviews.
