About

Knockmate

Features
Read full description

Knockmate is your cricket companion: knock in a new bat properly, log your matches, see how you get out, and walk out ready to play. Meet Knocky, your voice assistant. Tap him on the Home screen and talk or type to log a match, check the weather, your stats, nets near you or a training video. Speech is recognised on your phone and never recorded or sent anywhere. Bat preparation: follow the knocking-in journey, count your knocks with the microphone, and see a heatmap on your own bat photo. Share a one-page report with before and after photos (Pro). Matches and stats: log batting, bowling, fielding and wicketkeeping, see your history and patterns, and share a Career Profile PDF. Game day: the next 8 hours of weather with the chance of showers, and what to be careful about. Knockmate Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: unlimited bats, full stats, Net Practice builder, personalised training and no ads. The free version includes 2 bats and shows ads from Google AdMob. No account. What you enter stays on your phone, and the app never uses GPS. Knockmate is a guide: results vary with the willow, and it is not a substitute for a qualified trainer.
