The day is finally here. This morning our first internal application is out in public. Champions is a cricket application that gives you the power to get up-to-date game information quickly and easily. Our aim was to provide easy to use interface and a fun interactive way to see and follow your cricket.
So what does Champions do?
- Easy to read summary panels
- Games schedule
- Ball-by-Ball coverage
- Full scorecard
Why did we build this?
Frankly, there are a few cricket applications on Appstore that provide somewhat similar functionality but all of them lacked one thing – usability. I have written a complete review of Cricinfo’s cricket application on iPhone and you can read my frustration there. We wanted to build an application that will make cricket easy and fun to follow. So this is our first step towards that.
One of the main design decision that went into this application was the “summary panels”. We wanted to allow our users to quickly look at the game summary without scrolling or tapping too much. So we decided to create “summary panels” which give you a quick summary of the game and allow you to view full scorecard or ball-by-ball coverage of the game quickly and easily.
This is just version 1.0, we hope to add many features in our next release.
Give it a try and tell us what you think. If you like the application please leave a review.

Hi there – a great start. Yes the Cricinfo app is currently unworkable (well as of the last week or so mine won’t even run on my 3GS), and some sort of usable, user-friendly evolution of what you’ve started would be fantastic. The score panels are great; it would be great for the next edition to also allow reading of cricket news from wherever you can scrape it. I’d be happy to shell out some coin for something that has the data that the Cricinfo app can access, but with much better functionality.
But congrats on a great start!
