### 4/5 — Good but flawed

*2026-04-14, version 9.11.2*

The app struggles to get the latest scoring updates without frequently needing to be closed and opened again. Refreshing the game rarely has any effect. 

Feature requests: please add a Required Run Rate metric and add support for Apple Watch (minutes per over / current score / run rate or required run rate if chasing) to help coaches out on the field as well so we can check key metrics at a glance.

### 4/5 — Idk

*2026-03-21, version 9.11.2*

I like it, but there are some problems like it doesn’t say my high score and stuff. But overall it is great

### 4/5 — Needs commentary function

*2026-03-06, version 9.11.0*

Good app. But it would be good to allow a parent/ supporter from each side to be able to add ball by ball commentary.

### 3/5 — Difficult to deal with each week

*2026-01-30, version 9.10.0*

dissatisfied mostly and disappointed again today as I couldn’t get the second grade score or first grade that I was looking for

### 5/5 — Cricket

*2026-01-30, version 9.10.0*

Very helpful…let’s you see your child stats and tells you when and where your child’s next match as well as telling you who they are playing against.

### 5/5 — Cricket

*2026-01-30, version 9.10.0*

Cricket is cricket🦗

### 3/5 — Not very intuitive

*2026-01-30, version 9.10.0*

The app helps when you can find the team. It’s not intuitive in that you can’t search for a competition or team unless you know the absolutely correct name and, even then, it’s difficult. 
App is good for following a player once you find them. 
It could do with a better search function.

### 4/5 — Different

*2026-01-20, version 9.9.1*

Why is it different on android and iPhone platforms?

### 4/5 — Bad sometimes

*2026-01-13, version 9.9.1*

It doesn’t work all the time

### 5/5 — Great app but one little problem

*2026-01-13, version 9.9.1*

It’s a great app but there’s one little problem, and that is that it keeps signing me out so then I have to sign back into it.

### 5/5 — Love Play Cricket

*2026-01-11, version 9.9.1*

So easy to check on our Grandkids to see how they are playing. And always up to date.

### 3/5 — Access

*2026-01-10, version 9.9.1*

Sometime it’s takes a lot of time to update and also it should be given to all public for free

### 5/5 — Cricket App

*2026-01-10, version 9.9.1*

As I live interstate and have very committed grandsons playing cricket in Vic. I follow the app. from team selection to live scores in their matches.
Very appreciative of it.

### 3/5 — Reliability

*2026-01-10, version 9.9.1*

Not always reliable, image blurred at times or doesn’t work at all

### 5/5 — Really good

*2026-01-09, version 9.9.1*

Ok

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-02-13, version 9.10.1*

Just such a rubbish app. How has it so bad for so long? You constantly need to kill the app to get score updates. Often it will only show 1 team innings

### 1/5 — Just terrible

*2026-02-10, version 9.10.0*

Hope you don’t enjoy using the live score feature because it is bound to crash and stop loading at the clutch time. Should never have left MyCricket - now we actually pay rego fees for this rubbish

### 1/5 — Updates

*2026-01-30, version 9.10.0*

Doesn’t load well

### 1/5 — Angry

*2026-01-17, version 9.9.1*

I downloaded this app 5 or 6 weeks ago, I check the team I am interested in on Friday and it says “stream”, but on Saturday it doesn’t stream. No scores up whatsoever for today’s match. I am so fed up with the whole process of live chat every time I have a problem. All I want to do is watch a damn game of cricket. Pathetic, don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2026-01-12, version 9.9.1*

Unfortunately I think this app has many faults in it to be used as an accurate reflection of what happens on a cricket field.
Any errors made by a scorer using the playhq , whilst corrected on playhq, are not corrected on the ball by ball trail on this version of PlayCricket, thus giving the user incorrect information .
In many instances, the result or the margin of the result of the match is incorrect as it doesn’t reflect any DLS adjustments made on playhq.
There are many other examples, but as a scorer of many years, I have little to no confidence in the information that this app provides to the public is correct & as a result l do not think it is fit for the purpose it is designed for .
It should be either overhauled so it can show correct information or got rid of & put a new system that can give accurate information all the time.

### 1/5 — not at all good

*2025-11-15, version 9.8.3*

i keep having to sign in which is a pain if i want to check my or my mates stats. it’s also annoying how that constantly scorers mix things up and then work on paper so i can’t even check the score. can barely express how disappointing this app is.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2025-10-13, version 9.8.1*

Oct 2025 - another update, more bugs. Can’t log in any more and in a continuous cycle of hitting the Capta button which fails. When going through the website it looks like the data is corrupted - the number of 50’s now matches the number of matches played. Looks great at a glance but another mess. Do coders even try to test updates before releasing them! It was actually starting to work last season.

Clearly designed by people who have little knowledge about cricket or care about the users. Dumped on clubs through a dodgey deal involving the Cricket Australia CEO who later magically appeared in the company it fails regularly, has a terrible user interface and fails to provide most of the functionality wanted by users (and replaced an app that actually worked).  One example is that you can be following a match and it won’t refresh the scores, meaning you have to go out of the match and then refund it and reenter the match to see the current scores… and often it’ll only show the innings score and the scorecard itself won’t load. Great rort by the company in capturing the market and getting paid for this rubbish.

### 1/5 — Cricket Id

*2025-03-23, version 9.4.0*

The cricket id is bugged

### 1/5 — Pathetic

### 1/5 — Why bother?

*2025-02-07, version 9.3.1*

Used to love this app before they made you sign up.  Tried several times over the last three months to sign up but won’t accept either of my email addresses.  Thought the updates might fix this but alas NO.

### 5/5 — This is a amazing app

### 5/5 — Smart Watch App

*2026-01-31, version 9.10.0*

Hi guys,
Loving all the new updates, makes the app look a lot more modern and accessible now.
Was just wondering if it were possible to create a smart watch app. Would be super handy to have while out in the field/umpiring to be able to check on other scores.
Cheers

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2026-01-31, version 9.10.0*

I love cheese so much it makes my mouth go tinkly when I see it on the beach

### 5/5 — Great App for Cricket

*2026-01-30, version 9.10.0*

Great app to follow different levels of club cricket.
