Best App Ever!

With the greatest support team around!

Still needs work

Great but still needs ability to track multiple holds in a single game and blown saves. Also needs a new update because iOS8 has made it very buggy, for me at least

MLB Games

Enjoy using this app for MLB games. However, I wish I could start a game at any inning because I dont always make it for the start of a game. Please make this possible. Otherwise, great app!

Been using this app for 4 years for HS and summer ball. Best Ive found for score keeping stat keeping etc...simple to learn, use. I can teach my players to use it in the dugout along with our normal book

Works well for my softball league

I play in quite a big league. This app works great. The only addition that would be cool would be a "foul out" selection. I keep selecting "other" buT if thEre was an actual foul out selection, that would be awesome.

Pure Awesomeness

Ive used every app on the market and there is NO comparison, not even close. Other apps let you track 1 team at a time and you cant get hit charts on kids youve seen time and time again, without a lot of manual work. Thats just one of many downfalls of other apps. If youre paying hundreds of dollars for GC, you need to try iScore for a season. If you dont convert after that - well, theres no cure for stupid ...

Great app

Easy to use, great stats. Love how it shows where each player hits the ball.

Do not like this program

It is difficult to navigate and just not user friendly

Great app

Nifty!

I said goodbye to the score book and pencils today! This is quite useful and pretty intuitive. The prompts are great and helpful. My only issue is that I find it odd that "End Game" is in the miscellaneous section. Really? Every game has an end...hardly miscellaneous, but easily forgiven.

The best scoring option

Love this program! Wouldnt ever want to go back to paper and pencil. The GameCast is fabulous for fans who dont want to brave our terrible Ohio spring weather.

Great scorebook

I have used this app for past two seasons. Very easy to manage with many different features. Once user gets the feel of everything that this app is capable of doing then you will never use paper/pencil again. You can email stats, send/create reports and even tweet during game (if wi-fi available).

Great app

Just started using iScore with my sons school team. Scoring is intuitive and the stat sheets are great. I email the stats to all the players after each game. They love it.

Very good app

This a great app for scorekeepers plus the added online features. The play by play can be broadcasted to a website in real time so family and friends can enjoy the game from afar.

Great for Youth/Leagues, Not for MLB

Am frustrated by iScore but that has to do with the way I use it - to score MLB games. Thats not its strong point. Its wonderful at compiling stats - which makes it perfect for youth and/or league baseball or softball. But it falls short at displaying the results of a single game after the fact - which is why baseball fans keep score at MLB and MiLB games. The scorecard is very attractive. But try to find out who the opposing pitcher was in a particular inning or at-bat. Not easy - the scorecard is team-specific, so you have to close out of it and toggle over to the opposing teams pitching stats. Or you can go to the "play game" screen" and open the inning-by-inning pitching recap - but then you just get the pitch count, and youve had to close out of the scorecard. What pitch did a batter steal on? Was that a strike-em-out, throw-em out? Ah, for that you have to close out of everything else and open up the inning-by-inning recap, which is designed for editing and makes for a tough read. Or you could go to the notes page, which is three pages down on your scorecard. This is the frustration: iScore tends to scatter information all over the place and make you work hard to recover it. Theres a "notes" section separate from the pitch-by-pitch - but it doesnt display on the app, only in the box score you can e-mail to yourself from the website. The box score doesnt identify where players played in the field - thats only on the scorecard. A paper scorecard is far superior - it gives you all the information you need on one page or a two-page spread. Now, iScore will probably argue that this kind of activity isnt their focus - they want to produce forms that can be submitted to the league scorer. In a recent forum discussion, a user mentioned that iScore didnt get the right order of outs on a triple play. The developers rep said that they were working on a fix but that it was a low priority, since the order of outs is "a footnote." Which, again, is true if the question is, "how did Johnny do last season," but not if the question is, "what happened on that triple play?" It might be better to market iScore as primarily for coaches and league participants, not fans. Alternatively, an overhaul of the way iScore presents information - the logic and the graphics - could make it equally good for both youth and MLB-fan-type scorers. I dont know how interested the developer is in that kind of improvement - suggestions in their forums are usually met with "well put that on our enhancement list" (which might or might not be meaningful or "it does that already" (which is sorta kinda true, if you dont mind sifting through lots of pages, as noted). Dont get me wrong - theres a lot to like about iScore and Id love to be able to give up my paper and pencil and switch over to it. But before that happens, Ill have to ask them to sit down with Edward Tufte or some other information/graphics guru and find a better way to pull all the bits of data together into something coherent and clear and attractive. Im sure it can be done. I hope theyll want to do it.

Awesome!

This is perfect for keeping up with every stat imaginable!!

I love this app, but...

Stats and compilation are more than I could ask for. Fantastic. Better stats than any other app out there. The problems? 1) Ability to share via all social medias is disappointing. Twitter is nice, but would like to see others supported. 2) Syncing to parents apps is nearly impossible. If its easy, then its not being shown. 3) Would like to see a written wrap-up feature.

Not as good as advertised

Stats are not collected accurately and not up to date. Must be a glitch, because some players stats come through and others do not. Hard to import/export from device to device. Decent features for scorekeeping, but they dont all work properly.

Do not buy for MLB scoring

I bought this app to score MLB games only to find out that it costs an additional $20 to be able to download MLB rosters.

This is the best score keeping app that I have found. Plus the web site segment is a great supplement. This is the very best.
