Support

I have tested the app on my Macbook Air (MacOS Big Sur).

Would love to hear about your feature requests and issues you face. Send me an email at ayush.mail.id@gmail.com

Todo

1. Show the user a list of ongoing matches and allow her to choose from them.
2. Show live scorecard summary in the menu pop up.
3. Integrate live commentary with significant events like boundaries and wickets.
4. Redirect the user to relevant page upon clicking on the notification.
5. If the user has access to a streaming platform, save clips of significant events.

Known issues

1. Currently, the score API is fetched every 10 seconds in a new thread. This causes two issues:

• After the score is updated, the second thread resets it to the older score.
• Double notifications for a single event.

2. The displayed score, sometimes shifts out of view. This fixes itself once the score changes

2. Go to System preferences
3. Go to Security & Privacy
4. In the General tab, you will find an Open Anyway button. Click on that.
