I’ve been a subscriber to their blog for over 20 years. Great Statsguru as well! ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-27, version 26.07.09* Ads ### 2/5 — Deteriorated *2026-07-19, version 26.07.09* Used to be the absolute bible of cricketing scores, reviews and statistics. Now it just feels like an Indian fan forum. Commentary is diabolical, where it used to be world class. Choice of comments published is laughable. I wish there was a more neutral and partisan platform with such resources, but will use this because it does the job. Just have to gloss over the huge Indian biases and comment factory ### 3/5 — Slow *2026-07-17, version 26.07.09* It’s become so slow sometimes it doesn’t open you have to close and then reopen again but still so slow ### 2/5 — No landscape iPad *2026-07-15, version 26.07.09* Forced to using Cricbuzz which is a shame ### 4/5 — great app with one drawback *2026-07-07, version 26.06.29* please introduce support for live activities to iPhone, so that live scores can be followed for matches from the lock screen ### 1/5 — Too long and too many ads *2026-07-04, version 26.06.29* Recently cricinfo app has become so bad that the ads are too frequent and long. It is annoying for users and I am now looking to switch to other apps. ### 1/5 — No way to skip ads *2026-07-04, version 26.06.29* This app will display ad after 3 clicks. YouTube is much better with ads than this app where there is no option to skip ad. Don’t use this app. ### 1/5 — The ad spam app *2026-07-02, version 26.06.29* The app has gone down. The full page ads go on for 30 seconds every few mins. Had to uninstall it - such a sad outcome to an otherwise amazing app ### 3/5 — Ipad experience terrible, no audio commentary. Too many adverts *2026-07-01, version 26.06.29* Still terrible viewing on ipad, also no landscape mode, still no audio commentary!. Far too many little ads cluttering the screen, and very distracting and annoying. I have no wish to view indian tv or movies or any from anywhere else when i am looking at the cricket!. Only 3 stars till they fix these issues. ### 1/5 — Forcing to watch ads for 30 seconds *2026-06-30, version 26.06.29* I just deleted the app on my iPhone. I couldn’t take it anymore. Whenever I want to read a news or check scorecard the app force me to watch an advertisement for 30 seconds. Too greedy. There are other ways to play ads without blocking the entire screen. Good Bye. ### 1/5 — It’s run by Indian so. Only post what they like *2026-06-30, version 26.06.29* They only post what they like anything against Indian players they will not post it ### 1/5 — Feedback *2026-06-30, version 26.06.29* I have been using this app for years now but recent changes in the app that gives full screen pop up had has made me thing of uninstalling the app and start exploring/finding new app that don’t suck like this. ### 1/5 — Ads galore *2026-06-29, version 26.06.29* Come on man. You can’t be that greedy. ### 1/5 — Stop Annoying videos of Advertisements *2026-06-29, version 26.06.29* The advertisements are getting annoying now They pop up at random time and on random pages making the usage and overall experience useless until the ads are finished ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forces to watch a 30 second video during app usage. *2026-08-17, version 26.07.24* I finally deleted the ESPNcricinfo app. I’ve used it for years and liked the cricket coverage, but forcing users to sit through 30-second (or longer) full-screen video ads while simply trying to check scores or follow a match is unacceptable. I understand the need for advertising on a free app, but ads should not make the app frustrating to use. There are plenty of less intrusive ways to advertise without effectively holding the user hostage for 30 seconds. Unfortunately, it reached the point where the advertising ruined an otherwise very useful app. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Completely ruined by intrusive ads! *2026-08-03, version 26.07.09* Whoever the "genius" was that decided full-page, restrictive ads were a good idea will be single-handedly responsible for the downfall of what used to be a great app. Who in their right mind is going to sit through long, unskippable ads just to quickly check a score or read a short article? It is utterly ridiculous. I honestly can’t believe something this terrible actually passed through a massive corporation like ESPN. This is embarrassing app development. It’s blatantly obvious that whoever designed this update has zero understanding of basic user experience. Unbelievable. ### 1/5 — Become worst since the update *2026-08-02, version 26.07.09* This app has now inserted annoying ads that makes the app useless. ### 1/5 — Useless and downright annoying *2026-07-24, version 26.07.09* Was a great app once for cricket followers. Immense greed of the owners has ruined it. Every 2 minutes you are forced to sit through a full 30 second ad with no option to exit, unless you close down the app. Even if all you are doing is look at a scorecard. In addition, it props up has-been divas like R Ashwin and highlights his inane and sometimes downright stupid “expert” comments. That guy is craving for attention and this app generously provides him the platform as he struggles with his forced retirement. It is a shame that this app continues to have followers, but I guess it is because of the high standards it once had. Please avoid at all costs. ### 1/5 — Like everybody says— Ads ruined it *2026-07-22, version 26.07.09* How hard is it to just offer a paid version without ads? This is almost a criminal vandalism of a previously great app. ### 1/5 — Annoying full screen ads *2026-07-16, version 26.07.09* Used to be a great app until Jio took over and added annoying full screen ads ### 1/5 — ESPN > Jio *2026-07-11, version 26.06.29* Jio just ruined the app experience with full screen ads for greed. ### 1/5 — Ruined by intrusive full-screen video ads. Uninstalling. *2026-07-09, version 26.06.29* I have loved using this app for a long time, but the user experience has completely tanked of late. The developers have gotten greedy, and the app is now flooded with intrusive monetization. The recent introduction of full-screen interstitial video ads completely ruins the experience. It is incredibly frustrating to have the entire screen taken over by loud video ads while trying to check live scores. Because these ads disrupt the app so heavily, I am uninstalling it today. Please fix the ad frequency, and I might consider coming back. ### 1/5 — Not so good *2026-07-07, version 26.06.29* App & website focus primarily on the Indian team and they’re extremely biased. ### 1/5 — Too many ads sucks up the app experience *2026-07-04, version 26.06.29* I'm extremely dissatisfied with the new advertising system, which not only causes inconvenience but also forces users to wait for the ad to finish playing. Furthermore, closing the ads is not user-friendly, adding to the frustration. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Faisal *2026-08-22, version 26.08.17* We love cricket and we love cricinfo.. ### 5/5 — Safi Rajput *2026-08-13, version 26.07.24* Amazing app ### 5/5 — Love for Cricinfo *2026-07-26, version 26.07.09* I have been using this app for last 5 years. It keeps me updated in my busy times. I love this app. ### 5/5 — Clean app *2026-07-16, version 26.07.09* Great app! Clean UI and well laid out. Used Cricbuzz for years but this beats it hands down ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-07-10, version 26.06.29* I think the app is brilliant the live scores and the writing on the bottom after every ball is just fantastic ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-26, version 26.06.10* Great App. Displays all cricket information in a neat and organized way, so all matches and scorecards are easy to access. The UI is easy to navigate with as well. Need a cricket app, look no further, ESPNcricinfo is here. ### 5/5 — Just good *2026-06-20, version 26.06.10* Great place to check scores Just wish there was an option to only see selected fixtures with options For example, I don’t want to waste time to try and find a county game score because of WCL associate nations tournament But overall is great and love the videos and staff who make them ### 5/5 — Cricket *2026-05-20, version 26.05.04* Great information platform, and we love it. ### 5/5 — ESPN cricinfo *2026-05-16, version 26.05.04* I like the app ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-05-13, version 26.05.04* I love this app very much every day so many times I expand with this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
