### 3/5 — Previous Seasons

*2022-08-09, version 9.4.0*

This is one of my favourite cricket apps. However the new iOS update has not retained the players previous season stats which is a pity. It makes the app less useful. Before this iteration it was 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Players

*2021-11-06, version 9.2.0*

Why do we need to select a full team of players if a team is short.  Really dumb cric hq

### 4/5 — It’s okay…

*2021-06-21, version 9.2.0*

Can be a bit fiddly to find the games on there. Could be more user friendly. 
Push notifications would be better as they only appear when you’re on the app and I can’t sit there all day in it! Is that something that is being looked at? It would be great if they appeared in my actual phone notifications.

### 2/5 — Junior super smash rules

*2021-03-12, version 9.0.7b*

You need to let children ball three overs because they’re allowed to win the rules it’s annoying to the scorers to have to hit continue after every ball

### 2/5 — Not the best

*2021-02-27, version 9.0.7b*

So annoying to try find teams or games

### 1/5 — Latest update makes this app worse to use and navigate

*2020-11-24, version 9.0.5*

Was doing a reasonably good job, latest update has undone all this work. 
Teams results don’t show, finding games is worse.

### 4/5 — Crashing and fall of wickets feedback

*2020-11-24, version 9.0.5*

Overall I quite enjoy using CricHQ with how easy it is to score and update scorecards for the Cricket Wellington Premier competition games. 

Last weekend after the new version of the app came through, we had significant problems with the app on an iPad using iOS 14.1. The app would continuously crash after trying to edit a ball as the wrong batsmen was selected. Our scorer struggled and eventually we had to give up because it started showing the same batter batting twice at the same time. I note that we used a hotspot to set up the match initially then was not connected to the internet during the game. Luckily we had a second scorer using the previous version of the app on another iPad so we were able to continue.

Another thing I noticed using the new version of cricHQ on my iPhone that when looking at the scorecards, the flow of wickets (FOW) is missing to show exactly the score, overs and batter who got out. When I check via the webpage or on a desktop the FOW exists on the scorecard. 

This was a useful scorecard feature that should be reinstated on the app!

### 3/5 — Was great

*2020-11-20, version 9.0.4*

This app minus a few hiccups such as loosing the match I was on when swapping apps briefly was bearable and useful however the new update since logged me out, now lost the ability for scorecard and all the useful things this app was good for. Such a shame was a handy little thing now barely any use. Hopefully developers change it back

### 4/5 — Great ap by helpful developers

*2020-10-29, version 8.3.0*

Suggested a fix and developers were straight on to it.

Be good if you could search with more filters, like NZ people only.

Seem to many false profiles with no stats attached to them, can they be merged or deleted?

I can find myself but there isn’t an option I can see to claim my profile. I haven’t played for a couple of years.

### 1/5 — Ee

*2020-07-22, version 8.3.0*

Not open?

### 2/5 — Fails to deliver

*2020-03-07, version 8.3.0*

The scoring is more robust but the sharing of matches and emailing the team continues to be hopeless. Every week it is a struggle to get results out. Sending match reports fails. Sharing produces links that do not work. Very sloppy.

### 4/5 — Feedback

*2020-02-07, version 8.2.2*

Too sophisticated for younger age groups. Doesn’t add anything to the kids enjoyment. Kids are too focused on individual results. 

Can’t keep up with the game. Every game we have played this yEar has been delayed while waiting for scorers to catch up.

### 1/5 — I can not open this app

*2020-02-06, version 8.2.2*

I can not open this app oh my god it’s in my cloud I used it last cricket season it keeps asking for payment details sends me back to the same password log in over it I can even delete it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you log in

*2025-01-02, version 9.4.1*

Horrible kicks me out when I try log in. If I create a new account it also doesn’t work. Tried deleting the app multiple times. Plz fix this because I used this app for my own cricket. It’s very disappointing. Was a great app before

### 1/5 — Awful ripoff

*2024-12-05, version 9.4.1*

The league I played in used this app several years ago but then stopped. Since I have no need to for it, I have tried to delete my account and stop paying. Despite contacting the company on several occasions to address this, and receiving no reply whatsoever, they continue, every month, to take money from my account. For penalty two years now. I have complained to my bank but the only way to stop the payments is for me to cancel my card and prevent the payments. This is a joke and tantamount to fraud. Avoid. You will never be able to leave.

### 1/5 — Shocking app

*2023-04-19, version 9.4.1*

Doesn’t work correctly 
Difficult to navigate round
Makes you pay for I’m not sure what..

### 1/5 — Hq

*2023-04-06, version 9.4.1*

Scrape application, please remove

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2022-10-17, version 9.4.0*

I’m a coach of a school cricket team. Every year we’re told to use this app to do the scoring. Every year I spend a few hours trying to figure out how to do that before giving up and using a pen and paper. The app so unintuitive and complicated I just don’t even know where to start. When I try to find my team I have to scroll past test matches, ODIs, the IPL, English county cricket. wTF? How far would I have to scroll to find games between 10 year olds in New Zealand? I just wish they’d make a simple scoring app for kids.

### 1/5 — Worse than paper scorebook.

*2021-12-04, version 9.2.0*

Not intuitive, very hard to undo an accidental screen touch. Overall an awful experience.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-04-16, version 9.1.0*

Very unfriendly useless app!!!

### 1/5 — Poor upgrade to 9.0.1

*2020-12-02, version 9.0.5*

App upgrade to 9.0.1 has removed functionality and easy of being able to find matches.

Taken something that worked ok and made it useless.

### 1/5 — My Account

*2020-11-28, version 9.0.5*

I got logged out of my account so now I can not see my stats 

So now I have to have a account with nothing on it 

I want my old account back

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2020-11-27, version 9.0.5*

Not good

*2022-10-15, version 9.4.0*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2022-01-09, version 9.3.0*

I installed this app, due to being overseas a lot, in-order to watch my son play. 

Watching games and stats develop over the years is awesome, thanks so much, you have made a truely amazing app!

### 5/5 — Loving this!

*2021-12-13, version 9.2.0*

I am living in Canada and love getting alerts when my brother and nephews are playing in New Zealand! Following a game they’re playing in NZ on Saturday while I’m sitting by the fire in Canada on Friday evening is going to be one of my favourite things to do this Winter. 😍

### 5/5 — Great scoring app

*2021-09-22, version 9.2.0*

Love it - will never go back to paper scoring!

### 5/5 — App crashes

*2021-02-13, version 9.0.7b*

App is crashing in ipad4.  The new version of crichq is not compatible for iPad 4 because it's on iOS 10.3.4 (that's the final version for iPad 4)

### 5/5 — Reports

*2020-12-10, version 9.0.7*

Can we get the function to get match reports all throughout a game or session by session would be better? At one point you could put in /report and get it but now it won’t work

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2019-11-02, version 8.2.1*

I love this app so much it is really easy and great.

### 5/5 — Welcome new feature of match transfer

*2019-04-19, version 8.0.2*

Great new and long awaited feature is finally here to be able to transfer match. 

Just wish they add one more feature of scorecard edits on phone after match is uploaded.

### 5/5 — Why paid app now

*2017-08-13, version 7.1.2*

Why we have to pay to use app. Not good people switching to some other options..

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2014-12-11, version 5.3.1*

Great app and works really well for me really happy with it!
