Excellent App - Easy to use and does the job
I watch a lot of fastpitch softball. My daughter plays on a very talented, nationally-rated team. We spend about 3 weekends a month at tournaments and thats not counting High School fastpitch.
I am constantly frustrated by broken, or unused, or non-existent scoreboards. Or, scoreboard operators who are poorly trained or dont pay attention. Based on all the above, the odds of having a reliable scoreboards at fastpitch tournaments are slim to none.
I hate to hassle my wife or other fans. Definitely dont want to distract the scorekeeper. Clearly, the coaches or umpires dont need my interruptions to confirm number of outs, strike count, score, etc.
This app was an excellent solution. It even helps me maintain focus, so I can keep my little scoreboard current. It is not too complex - just the right info to know what is going on from one moment to the next.
My only suggestion is that they add a game timer. A lot of tournaments time some or all of the games and apply the time in one way or another. If is very common to hear fans asking how much time is remaining. I would recommend an editable countdown timer that allows the user to enter a pre-determined length of time that is remembered from one game to the next. Then a button that starts the countdown.
Oh, I would also appreciate a button that allows me to deliver an electric shock to the umpire when he makes a bad call.
