About us

Zappasoft, formerly Cricket4evry1, was founded in Melbourne Australia in 2009 and set out to deliver a range of video analysis applications (on mobile phones) to assist young cricketers learning both traditional and innovative batting, bowling and fielding skills. Thus began a journey where ongoing approaches from other sporting codes and the sporting enthusiasm of the founding directors, resulted in a broadening of the company's outlook on sports skill development across sports, across ages and across levels of experience. The company now delivers powerful sporting apps on Apple iOS and Android platforms under its own brand and in partnership with individuals and sporting organisations.
