Cricket Australia Live for Negative User Reviews

✓ Start times!!Missed first half hour of Ashes play today. Started early but this app does not update ( or even mention in the first place!) what time play starts each day. Grrr!!.ExNeddiesBoyVersion: 7.0.1

✓ SteveI wish that Australia would let people outside Australia watch their live feeds.ChabkyVersion: 5.14.1

✓ Pretty, but won't stream radio commentary to USI can't find anything that suggests that the radio commentary won't work in the U.S. But all I get is silence, on all devices. Waste of time for expats trying to stay connected..Nicknames_are_a_daft_reqVersion: 2.0.0

✓ DisappointingExciting to think I could watch our cricket “live” on my iPads. Unfortunately the app is hugely disappointing, freezing every few seconds, taking ages, i.e., more than five minutes, to start up again, and then freezing within 20 seconds and remaining frozen. More disappointing than I can say. We can only hope it will improve as the summer continues. CA having decreed that Australians cannot watch men’s T20 and One-Day cricket unless we are wealthy enough to afford Foxtel, this Cricket Australia app is our only hope - but, alas, right now it is failing us. Indescribably sad..OudtshoornifyVersion: 5.0.0

✓ KristieWas a great app, but I can’t find the 2023 BBL schedule or news. What happened?.MsklmallVersion: 9.0.0

✓ Too clever by halfCourage. That’s what the designers of the recent interface changes have in spades. Courage to ship something so outrageously complex and difficult to understand. Gone are the days of being able to see today’s scores at a glance, or quickly check which games are on the schedule. Now, I don’t know whether to swipe up, down, left or right. One must actually concentrate hard to interpret the UI. A terrible update made by people who forgot the golden rule: keep it simple..SovereignV3Version: 7.2.1

✓ Close to being brilliant but notWatch app doesn’t work well at all. Complication on the watch face is blank no matter which game you add to watch face.HughcattVersion: 5.4.0

✓ Filters and StatsThis app is ok but not great. Here’s a few ideas for improvement. I get it is focused on Australia but I would like to see some development of the app on the ‘foreign’ series and matches so that I don’t have to find other apps) 1. Allow a user to filter the ‘Matches’ and ‘Series’ lists so I can pick those that a relevant to me and allow me select more than one item (eg. One time I might only want to see those items that involved Australia and England and another time England and India and South Africa). 2. There are practically no historical stats for players and teams other than for a match in progress, I want to search a list of players and teams without having to pick a particular game. 3. I would like to see lists of retired players like Warne, Botham etc and compare their stats to current and past players. 4. In the list of Matches often I cannot work out what teams are playing. For example in the current list of England’s Domestic T20 comp the only clue is a 3-letter acronym for a team... unless you are familiar with the teams there is no way to know who is who (and so I don’t bother investigating). 5. In the list of Series there is no way to view past series. I would like to be able to pick a year, filter by team(s) and type of series (Tests, OD, T20...). That’s just few ideas, could go on but not sure if it’s going to be ‘heard’ and acted in so I’ll wait for your feedback..Bob NuttallVersion: 4.4.0

✓ Deleted!I don’t pay a subscription to watch live but occasionally have watched highlights videos. Until today when I clicked on the highlight reel of the last day of the Boxing Day test. That lasted about one second when I realised I would have to sit through an ad first. As much as I love watching cricket (as a kid would spend days watching it ad-free on the ABC), I don’t watch it at all these days because I hate ads more than I love cricket. Consequently, app was closed and then deleted in the space if seconds due to the greed of the devs. Good luck Aussie cricketers, you have one less supporter now..Mon_aVersion: 7.7.2

✓ Cricket live don’t think soBeen using this app for years and generally enjoyed it some upgrades have been ok but the latest is just disappointing supposed to be live scores yeah right it used to be to be fair but since last compulsory upgrade (app won’t open without upgrade) scores freeze at a fixed point in matches and it’s anyone guess as to when the actual “live” score is a actual live score maybe you could change app name to cricket updates when we can be bothered why do apps always make problems where there were none there before leave things alone you did have a good app.Donedeal 79Version: 5.9.0

✓ Could be so much betterThis is my go to app for scores but it frustrates me something chronic. Why? It is great for showing scores and details from a current innings. However, when viewing a completed innings, let’s say the first innings of a test match, the app will switch back to the current innings as you are inspecting the details of the first innings. This is a complete embuggerance. That is it is exceptionally annoying. Could I suggest that this be fixed please? Also could I suggest that with the fall of the wicket, the not out batter and their score be included? (Like you do in a hand written score book).IPegsVersion: 7.9.1

✓ TerribleSeems like I’m definitely in the minority here, but my experience with this app has been nothing short of dreadful. It constantly glitches and crashes on me, often not even letting me open the app. And the times when I can use it, viewing the match results is extremely tedious with the system they have set up, as you can only select one format. Either that or you have to select ‘all formats’ which includes just about every single irrelevant little cricket match going on in the world. I just want to view results for Australian domestic, BBL and tests/ODIs. But it isn’t possible to view that at once, and to be able to view all those results you have to go through multiple different pages. Not to mention the video feature is just covered with ads, and often fails to load audio or visual, constantly getting stuck despite an entirely functional network connection. Overall an extremely poor app, I can’t believe there are so many good reviews - surely they wouldn’t be bots providing fake reviews would they? Anyway, from my experience, a very very poor app - developers should probably find a new day job, because they clearly aren’t very good at this. 1 star is generous.1800DennisVersion: 5.14.3

✓ Always crashesApp always crashes.Napd789Version: 7.7.0

✓ Subscription to live stream stoppedI bought the subscription late in the season last year thinking it would be good for a year. But after a seamless run for the last few games last season this season no international games can be streamed outside Australia. At least that is what it looks like. I don’t really mind losing out on half my subscription but it seems like it is not clear in the app where the streaming will work in the world. I am sure it is to do with fox taking the rights and screwing us. Just annoying. 2stars because it used to work great..DanielW.1111Version: 5.1.2

✓ Very very poorThis app frustrates me intensely. It wants to tell me acres of obscure games but not BBL games or Shield games. For example I missed a Strikers game because it didn’t show in the upcoming games or even while the game was live yet it is all to ready to show me under 19 woman’s game between Namibia and Uganda. Another example is I went to see the Shiels fixtures remaining this year and it showed me 4 games which I thought was odd so went to another site and found there were many more. Another example are the player profiles that are lacking severely. If you are going to have the feature include all players not just a few. For the app of the sports governing body in Australia this is inadequate..TimseahorseVersion: 7.8.1

✓ Turned to rubbishThis used to be my favourite app, giving real-time updates on matches I wanted to follow when away from other media coverage. However, the term ‘live’ is now a misnomer. The ball by ball match commentary is frequently several deliveries behind the real time game, often as much as two overs. The score sheet on the left of the overview screen is also a few runs behind what is happening live, and even worse is the live scorecard, which often takes several minutes to update a player’s score. At one stage during the Australia vs Pakistan test, David Warner had been dismissed and replaced at the crease by Steve Smith, yet Warner was still showing as being at bat a few runs less than he actually scored, and he a Marnus L were shown as the current partnership. The final insult was having a Sri Lankan wicket keeper listed as player of the match, and another Sri Lankan player list as the top scorer. This was an entirely different match on an entirely different continent!! Absolute rubbish.Dizzy1955Version: 9.1.3

✓ Australian BowlingCurrent Ashes series is hard to watch with our current bowling… too wide, too short or both is just giving England a fighting chance… what happened to line and length and dot balls…. I don’t want us to retain the ashes due to rain delays, we need to win the old fashioned way which is to outplay your opponent. If our too order scored more runs, it would also give our bowlers a bit more support. Time to make some changes at the top of the order for future sake..Oaty51Version: 7.9.1

✓ Crash, crash, crashAs soon as I try to view the women’s cricket section the app crashes. Basically anything off of the first men’s pages causes a crash.Rev John 52Version: 7.9.0

✓ Live pass in NzIs live pass going to be available in nz this summer?.ViggynzVersion: 5.0.0

✓ Dark ModeThis app works great but it is still lacking Dark Mode after all these years. The app also doesn’t make it much easier to read due to lack of accessibility options so there is no way to increase text size. Till they fix these issues, I’ll continue to use the website, not the app..Nikk CozmoVersion: 9.1.6

✓ Turned to rubbishI don’t often write reviews, but I’ve become so frustrated with this app, that I’m making an exception! Used to be great, but now is almost useless. You click on a match, and you can see a summary of the game, but when you click the scorecard to see what’s going on, you get the scorecard from some other random match. Tonight I was trying to follow the Scorchers game, and the scorecard showed the women’s international T20 from last night. This has now happened multiple times. Please fix this..Neen303Version: 9.1.3

✓ New UI is extremely difficult to useThey’ve changed the UI in the latest version and it makes it really difficult to find out what games are live or upcoming. For some reason you have to put in team preferences now, and then it sorts those results alphabetically rather than by game datetime. This is also weird because if you want to follow the big bash for example, you have to follow EVERY SINGLE TEAM. If you want to go down the preference route, let us select competitions, not just teams. If you’re looking at the all matches tab, games are sorted by date, but games which are on the same day are hidden behind a horizontally scrolling carousel. It’s really difficult to find a specific match, even if it’s live. I’m all for trying to make improvements to make apps easier to use, this update does the opposite. I recommend the app developer perform some UX testing and revert back to the old design or try something else. Give us a simple vertical list sorted by date time. Highlight live matches (and maybe starting soon) at the top and be done with it. Your users will thank you..Jems9393Version: 7.0.1

✓ Please test on iPhone XThis iPhone X has been out over a year and clearly this has never been tested on one by the developers. Even without an iPhone X they could test it with the simulator for the screen size. On an iPhone X screen the worm graph looks terrible when expanded to full screen. The formatting is off so instead of the legend being small at the bottom it changes layout so the graph itself only uses a small amount of space while the rest is white. The graph looks fine on an iPhone 8. This could easily be fixed if the deck opera actually bothered to test it! Also the live video on an X has a problem where the Done button is behind the quality control, which makes it impossible to press! Please test your product on all screen resolutions. That’s what the simulators in Xcode are for! Also why can’t the graph be expandable with the standard stretch gesture? With the Apple Watch app you never know when it’s finished loading. So you turn watch to look at score and then wait in unknown amount of time for an update. But if there is no change in score you don’t know if it’s updated. How hard would it be to have an indicator to say it’s refreshing the data?.SnuffleberriesVersion: 5.1.2

✓ Used to greatThis app used to be my go-to for cricket, listening, scores, stats, etc but just recently it has become really annoying to use. I hope this review helps moving forward but some issues I’ve had just recently include: Links to listen on Triple M or ABC not working, Scorecards from different matches coming up when checking overnight finishes, ads constantly popping up while reading articles, I understand that ads are required to help fund apps but constantly popping up and having to be forced down is over the top. Also had app crashes or freezing. I hope these bugs are fixed or I will need to find a new app to use..Wglenj77Version: 9.1.3

✓ Gone badWhen it launched this app was good but now it is complete rubbish. Slow to load, crapping out during games and laggy updates. Support team is also useless and need to be chased to get replies days after you submit tickets. Missed opportunity..DyuileyVersion: 5.5.0

✓ App crashes when trying to view upcoming matches.The current version has a crash when you tap on the “matches” tab..AquaticApe68Version: 6.6.0

✓ Not very good at allSurprised by the favourable reviews this app receives. I use on both iPhone and iPad and it’s really quite poor. iPad experience is particularly awful. The app presents content very differently between the two devices and that would be tolerable if it updated regularly and reliably by sadly it doesn’t. The homepage will give you a game score that is an hour out of date. Click on the game and it gives you the real score, return to the home page and it’s back to the hour old score. If you’ve been following the women’s test, go to the men’s test next day and the women’s batters appear in the profiles. No doubt this is related to cookies etc. but it’s very frustrating. Nothing else out there as an alternative but when there is, I’m gone..FernycreekpeteVersion: 9.1.3

✓ Terrible notificationsGreat app for scores and live stream. If I manually go to the app I can see the most up to date scores of any of the matches I wish to see. But the notifications are NEVER working. No matter how many re-installs or updates, they never want to notify me of ANYTHING. Apart from the First test is SA, I have spent all summer without notifications. Both international tests and Shield matches. Needs work. For an app that lets you customise the notifications you get, you would think that they would at least notify you for what you have asked for. Poor form CA..Theguywho eededaname67Version: 4.3.2

✓ Live pass the n nzI think that the live pass should be available in New Zealand because many more people would watch it.Osc0711Version: 4.1.1

✓ Doesn’t work as advertisedI have been using this app for a few years and through several versions so when travelling overseas through December 2017/ January 2018 I thought it was a great opportunity to try out the Live Subscription. Big mistake! I wasted my money!! Apparently if you subscribe to the 365 Pass while you’re in Australia then you can’t actually view live video while you’re overseas. Not that the alternative required to do so is even highlighted on the Australian App Store. No useful response by with Cricket Australia or Apple to my concerns. Rubbish service all round!.Userid42Version: 4.3.2
