Our Take
ICC’s official Cricket World Cup 2015 app is overall a fine app. Though it is slightly sluggish as it takes time to load the content. For cricket enthusiasts, the app should include more interactive features perhaps intuitive graphs including runs break up, partnerships, over comparisons and wagon wheels. We hope more features to come as the tournament nears. But that said, it’s quite comprehensive, and worth downloading.
