Ratings and reviews

Good app, but they should improve the search function. You have to type the exact words given in the title of a section to find a rule. Often it's easier to find a rule in Google than the app. Without a proper search function, the app loses much of it's functionality. You could literally just download a PDF of the blue book for better search.

The search facility is very poor. For example, I can't find the amended law relating to which batsman takes guard after the previous one was caught after crossing? Also, there's no version identification. One would hope I've downloaded the latest version but nowhere an I told so.

How is the search still so bad, it's been terrible for ages, fix it. It's hard to understand how you could make the search much worse. Literally search for the name of a law and it doesn't find it. Either fix it or remove it. At the moment it is far far worse than useless.
