The Score Keeping app is a good first attempt. My first criticism is there is no app for a Macintosh laptop, only the iPhone and iPad. My iPhone has a small screen and is the constant victim of my fat fingers; I do not see why I should spend several hundred dollars to purchase an iPad simply to accommodate the APA.Next, many of the players in my league are of a certain age where they are not comfortable with technology, the majority of whom have not acquired the app. That leave the few of us who have acquired the app to scramble in real time to get enough hands on deck to keep a true score for the matches.What is missing is practice, a safe environment where the uninitiated can become familiar with the app without the pressure of making an error that can have real-world effects in real matches. I suggest writing a simulator application that mimics a realistic match between two fictional players. The user can pause the simulator to compare his stats with what the simulation has actually produced. With increased confidence, the team members will be far more open to contributing to the scorekeeping efforts.Thank you.

Love not having to deal with printing out paper copies and trying to decipher handwriting! (LOL and scorekeepers/players are a lot more careful about spilling beverages when there’s a phone or tablet involved!) However, from a captain’s perspective, there’s an advantage to using scoresheets that has been lost since moving to the app. It would be extremely useful to be able to look back at matches and review individual/team performance data. If we’re tracking innings, defensive shots, time outs, and game outcome (scratch, snap on the break, early 8, etc) we should be able to review and use that data to help our players improve and inform our decision making in future competitions. Also, regarding game outcome…why do we not track ball count in 8-ball? IMO knowledge of how your players have performed when they’ve LOST a match is just as important, if not MORE, than when they’ve won! 😉

Devs: Please see new notes at bottomThe app does what it’s designed to do. Nobody in either division I play in has had technical issues with the app. It’s mostly intuitive, though I do have to ask someone how to correct a mistake (okay, a few different mistakes 🤪). The mistakes are def user errors. Having someone sit with you as you use it the first time helps — just like we had to learn on paper sheets.Overall, it’s great to use!Suggested enhancement: I’d love to be able to see more details of matches.ETA: Hi Dev Team:I had league pool last night, and learned they are still using paper for a couple of things not available in the app, but would be great enhancements:1. Notes about dues, like who’s paying when or whatever. 2. Notifications about makeup matches. Sometimes teams agree to make up a match because someone is outAlso, had first glitch last night. User error, but needs a way for user to resolve correctly.*9-ball*Marked a ball incorrectly, but didn’t see it until a couple of turns later.*Tapped to go back to that turn to correct* Maybe went too many turns back, or I don’t know what*Modal said something like I’d already gone back to that turn. (??)*Tapped OK or whatever 🤪*Everything was then grayed out. Couldn’t select “go back to A’s turn” or continue with the current turn. *Exited the all completely and restarted. Same result.*Third time a charm, I guess, because then I did it correctly, I suppose?Bottom line is that there is a way for user to create a scenario where only option is to exit out and re-start the app.I think maybe I went back too many turns? I think we were in 3rd or 4th and I wanted to change 1st or second. It was at least two turns.Hope you see this update! :) (Still 5 *****) This is one of those understandable/expected bugs 🐞 that come up.

Our leage just started using this and overall it's pretty slick as far as scoring goes. One note is that if you forget to mark table size, the app doesn't warn you before submitting scores.However, the app leaves some to be desired as far as record keeping. The summary leaves a lot of things out, like the players' skill levels, exact points, and you can't see how the game progressed like you can on paper scoring. 8/9 on the snap or break-and-run is logged, but not shown in summary either.APA could take a few inspirations from the excellent scoring app Pool Scoreboard, which will show you some nice stats at the end of a match, including progression to goal, max number of points in an inning, shot percentage, etc.
