### 3/5 — Not so good

*2025-05-08, version 3.049*

Reason you have not mentioned how many coins we need to play

### 2/5 — Ads distroy the game

*2024-11-26, version 3.049*

Love the game but the ads make it nearly impossible to just play and enjoy.,, so so so frustrating

### 2/5 — Good game but lots of glitches

*2024-08-08, version 3.049*

It’s a good game to pass your time but has multiple glitches, moreover when a feedback was provided to the team via email they don’t reply neither appreciate for the report. 
Also there is nothing new in the game after a point it’s the same gameplay and doesn’t leave us with any satisfaction or feeling of progression or playing new levels.

### 3/5 — Good game but one problem

*2024-05-30, version 3.049*

Why is it given out even if it hits his bat?

### 2/5 — Good idea - scoring system is not explained

*2024-04-05, version 3.049*

There’s some good things about this game. But why is there no explanation for how the scoring system works? I seem to get anywhere between 1 and 3 points for a correct decision with no explanation as to what this is determined by. Either keep it simple and make the winner the player who has the most correct decisions or have an explanation as to why there’s a variance in the number of points scored. I literally had a game where I got 12/12 calls correct and still only placed in the top 70%. How does that make sense? I had 100% accuracy and was near the bottom. Also the so called boosts are more of a hindrance than a help a lot of the time. For example the super slow motion replays are only marginally helpful but often result in running out of time before completing the over.

### 2/5 — Won’t work

*2023-11-09, version 3.049*

Practice mode is very good but every time I try to go into a game it tells me to check my internet. But my internet is fine on every other app. Would love to know how to play because it seems like a great game

### 4/5 — A good game

*2023-04-09, version 3.025*

This is a very good game but although if you added more things it would really be a good game so please

### 3/5 — The game is unique but need to fix

*2022-10-19, version 3.022*

I admit the game is unique but there are so many bugs in this game. I was 100% sure that was out and even ball pitching in line and hitting wicket with impact in line showing not out. It breaks the streaks. So I hope developers will make sure to fix it. Moreover, the weekly competition scores doesn’t update. Stuck in same last week winner.

### 4/5 — Can you help me?

*2022-07-25, version 3.018*

I played this game with one of my friends on his phone and I tried downloading it but it wouldn’t load on to the game 
It just said” initialising game physics”
Can you help me? 
Thanks

### 2/5 — Still losing rank points.

*2022-04-13, version 3.018*

Game is still fun, I’m still losing rank points despite the fact that I do play within the 48 hour window. Very frustrating.

### 4/5 — Ok but can be annoying

*2022-02-01, version 3.013*

Game is good in itself but does keep giving me an incorrect decision after showing the ball has hit the stumps. Lose points on the leaderboard for this so needs to be fixed please

### 2/5 — Fun game but…

*2022-01-06, version 3.013*

Good game but it’s sooooo laggy and too many ads. Also when there is an ad the game doesn’t pause and I lost a 183 streak and have deleted the game twice out of anger. Also the game thinks some things hitting the stumps isn’t out. Also the you have to watch ads to get gold tickets. Pls fix

### 1/5 — Not eorking

*2024-03-14, version 3.049*

Never lets me play a career and just says internet connection cannot load even if I have tickets to play

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-01-02, version 3.013*

I used to play this game all the time and I loved it, now they made it online and it is terrible. Every over it tells me where I ranked and then the page won’t go away and I have to play with it there. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME AT ALL LOOK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. IT IS AEFUL AND JUST DOWN RIGHT TERRIBLE, THE DEVELOPERS NEED TO TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT THEMSELVES AND MAKE THIS A LOT BETTER

### 1/5 — Completely ruined

*2021-11-14, version 3.006*

It was a very good game that you could pass time with quite easily, now they have very much made it pay to play which is extremely disappointing.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-09-26, version 2.874*

It’s an awful game with a good concept, the ads being on a free game are understandable but this game it’s taken to a new level, every 5 balls there is an add, simply horrible

### 1/5 — Needs refining

*2021-08-13, version 2.874*

Have read reviews that state ads come on during decisions and that it would be fixed. This hasn’t happened.
Also, when making decisions in line with the original umpires call there is a fault in the game as sometimes when the correct decision is paid, it comes up as ‘incorrect’ on the screen.
