Straight answers on money, signal, formats and what open source actually means for your club.

Money
01Is it actually free?

Yes. Every format, every screen, unlimited matches, and the live follower link are in the free app. It is paid for by a banner ad on the scorecard and share screens. If you would rather not see it, ₹99 a month removes it.

02Are there ads while I am scoring?

No. The scoring screen carries no ad in either plan. Mis-tapping a ball because an ad loaded under your thumb is how a scorebook goes wrong, so that screen is left alone.

03What happens if I stop paying?

The app carries on. You lose nothing but the quiet — ads come back on the card and share screens, and your matches, squads and history stay exactly where they were.

04Is there a free trial, or a discount for clubs?

The free plan is the trial, and it never expires. Club and league pricing is not built yet; if you need to cover a dozen scorers, open an issue and say so — that is how it gets prioritised.

At the ground
05Do I need a signal to score?

Open Innings syncs live, so a connection is what makes the follower link work. If the signal drops mid-over the app keeps scoring locally and pushes the balls up when it returns — you will not lose a ball, but followers will see a gap until it catches up.

06Can two people score the same match?

One device owns the ball log at a time, which is deliberate — two scorers entering the same over is how you get a wrong total. You can hand the match over to another device between overs.

07How fast is it really?

One tap for a normal ball. Two if it is an extra: arm the modifier, tap the runs. Three for a wicket, because a dismissal needs its type and the fielder. That is the whole interaction.

08What if I get a ball wrong?

Undo, on screen, always. Every number in the app is derived from the ball log rather than stored separately, so removing a ball corrects the card, the commentary, the bowler’s figures and the live feed at once.

Cricket and code
09Which formats can I score?

T20, ODI, any custom number of overs, Test and multi-day, the Hundred, box or indoor cricket, and gully rules with one-tip-one-hand and last-man-bats. You pick the format once at the toss; the console itself never changes.

10Can people follow without installing anything?

Yes. Each match has a link that opens in a browser and updates ball by ball. Send it to the club group once and everyone — parents, the next batter, a coach at another ground — is on the same over as you.

11Can I get my data out?

Every match exports as a scorecard file and as a share image. Because everything is derived from the ball log, the export is the whole match, not a summary.

12What does open source mean in practice?

The app source is public under AGPL-3.0. You can read exactly how a wide is charged, open an issue when your league scores it differently, send a fix, or run the whole thing on your own host for your club. Nothing is behind a licence key.

Still stuck

Scoring questions belong in the issue tracker — they usually turn into a fix. Billing questions go to email.
