### 4/5 — Very good, but I wish it was for Australia aswell

*2026-06-23*

In Australia, I play AFL and I use the PlayAFL app and the layout and design is perfect but I wish you guys could make a Cricket Central app, but just for Australia, it’s ok, I’ll stick to PlayCricket 😢

### 1/5 — Not for Australia

*2025-10-12*

This is only for New Zealand and nothing for Australia

**Developer response:** Hi Aussie HQ,

That is correct - This app is for the New Zealand Cricket community, as stated in the description. If you want to follow Australian Community Cricket, then you will need to download the PlayCricket App.

Regards,

### 5/5 — Excited!
