Stick it on airplane mode, only sync games at breaks - battery will last all day.. if they don't have mobile hotspot or wifi at the ground, sync when they get home.
Also you only need one person each game scoring - so perhaps it would/could be the home side? Pretty easy.
Yeah it is now that the glitches are ironed out.
I remember a few years ago there was a short run, the app spazzed out as it had the wrong person facing and you couldn't manually change it.
Apparently you still can't manually change the bowler if you get it wrong, you have to enter everything back when play stops in the order of when it occurred.
I’ve used the app a lot and you now have the option to change bowler for the entire over (ie you stuffed up) or for the remainder of the over (ie he got injured)
You can test these things out in the demo mode too
I absolutely love the app. It’s super easy to use and way more accurate as you only have to push 1 number instead of writing in 3 different places.
The worst thing about it all is the mycricket app to check the scores has gone backwards rapidly. It’s junk. But the scoring one is good.
There was one thing we found that we weren’t sure about though.
One of our bowlers bowled a full toss no ball that cleared the keeper too (lol) and went to the boundary.
We thought that should go down as 5 no balls, but the app does not allow for this. It either allows for no ball plus 4 runs (ie which adds score to a batter), or no ball plus 4 byes (which only gives 1 no ball plus byes)
The second one would be correct in terms of a front foot no ball but we were unsure if it applied in this case
