Cricktomate is a powerful, ball-by-ball cricket scoring app built for captains, team scorers, and club players who want professional-grade scorekeeping without the fuss. SCORE WITH PRECISION Tap in every delivery — 0 to 6 runs, fours, sixes, and dot balls. Record no balls, wides, byes, and leg byes. Choose from all 11 ICC dismissal types including bowled, caught, LBW, run out, stumped, hit wicket, and more. Undo any ball with a single tap. FULL MATCH CONTROL Create custom matches with your own teams, set overs anywhere from 5 to 50, and capture the toss. Switch strike, change batters and bowlers mid-over, handle retirements and injuries, correct scores, or abandon a washed-out match. LIVE SCOREBOARD Keep spectators in the loop. Generate a QR code or share a URL so friends and family can follow the live scoreboard with current runs, wickets, overs, run rate, last six balls, and batter and bowler stats. PLAYER PROFILES Record batting hand and bowling style for every player. Designate captain and wicketkeeper. All stats calculated automatically. OFFLINE-FIRST, ALWAYS READY Cricktomate stores everything locally on your device. Score a full match with zero internet, then sync to the cloud when you are back online. Your data is never lost. BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Native iOS experience with full portrait and landscape support. Choose light, dark, or system theme. Sign in or continue as a guest — no account required to start scoring.

Each video must consist of one delivery only, filmed in 4k video and at 60 fps. THE APP WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THESE SETTINGS. Of course, the pitching and impact must be recorded in the video At present, it requires a WHITE CRICKET BALL and will not work with other colors. The 4 corners to click (see above) must be FULLY VISIBLE in the video. Additionally, THE TOP OF OFF STUMP SHOULD BE VISIBLE AT THE START OF THE VIDEO to calibrate the tracker. Once the app icon is clicked, instructions on which corners to click along with which order to be selected appears. Then, the user has to pick the video for review. It may take a moment for the video to be rendered Once a video has been selected, the users can click the "RHB" (Right Hand Bat) button to change it to "LHB" (Left Hand Bat). The button toggles between these two modes. The video will play automatically once rendered so the users can identify that delivery. Then user selects the corners in the right sequence. 2 fingers can be used to zoom the video in (to the center) and 1 finger to click. If the user needs to modify selection, then the "Reset" button is available to clear the corner clicks. Once the 4 required corners have been selected, a "Send" button will appear. After this. an "Uploading video" popup will be visible. After the pop-up disappears, the user should be able to see the OUT / NOT OUT / UMPIRE'S CALL decision. Also, users will see a small yellow and red line drawn close to the batsman (zooming may be needed to see it). The yellow part represents the visible ball path and the red represents the predicted path. The transition from yellow to red path is meant to be approximate and not exact. If N/A is still present after the Uploading Video popup has vanished, then trying again will usually solve the problem. If user wants to upload a new video, the "New" button can be used. When uploading a new video, make sure to click the Reset button.
