### 4/5 — Add Reverse Score Option

*2024-11-08*

Great app. Please add the option to reverse score so 110/3 will read as 3/110.

### 4/5 — Wish I’d seen this a long time ago!

*2024-09-17*

As long as the developer remains true to this Cricketer's gift, I’m sure that those of us who have discovered it will be using it daily!

Needs some TLC. Don’t neglect it, it’s a useful tool for those of us who cannot be away from the bat and ball!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-11-28*

Can you please confirm when issue in app will be resolved? Its just blank app for me. 
I am seeing your message that there's a issue for some users.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your continued support. We are working hard to fix this unexpected issue. Runcaster should be back and running next week. We will keep you posted. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Impressively fills a niche no other app reliably is

*2023-10-09*

Been using this app for a couple of months now for viewing cricket scores as Live activities - which surprisingly none of the major cricket apps (Cricinfo, Cricbuzz, ICC and BCCI’s official apps, etc. have implemented). App is fantastic for the intended purpose, with multiple options for scorecards including a fair number for the free version as well. 

There are a few small issues, such as having no way to customize notifications, which means you’re notified about matches you may not really care about, and a few other quirks, but I’m hopeful the developers are working on updates and focusing on keeping this purely as a cricket scores app that isn’t bloated. 

Kudos to the developer for building this! Have no issues subscribing to the paid version and recommending this app for anyone who wants to reliably track their favourite cricket games as live activities on the iOS Lock Screen.

### 5/5 — Extremely fluid and useful!

*2023-08-16*

This app is great for setting up live activities to follow cricket matches. While there is a paid section (with genuinely useful scoreboard styles), the free styles get the job done and make following games very easy. Additionally, they are always adding new features. 

Great work devs!
