New to iScore questions
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2016 5:56 am
Hello All. I am searching for a new app for football stats recording, and I am looking at iScore as the potential replacement for my current system. However, before I make the switch, I need to have a few questions answered. These may be fairly "obvious" answers, but I am also new to iPads and Apple devices in general, so I apologize if these are simplistic.
1. I understand complete reports can be e-mailed after the game (in PDF or HTML?), and that's all well and good, but I need to be able to bring up a game stats box score report during the game (specifically at halftime). Doesn't need to be printed or e-mails, on the screen is fine. Can this be done easily without e-mailing?
2. There are some apps out there that only allow for the deletion of plays, not editing (either during or after the game). Can plays be edited "after the fact", both during the game and afterwards?
3. Here's the biggie...this is a game-changer/non-starter. I need to be able to print reports on the field or in the locker room after the game, with no email/Internet access. Is this possible? There is not one field we play at where Internet access is available..not one...on the field. No open Wi-Fi is available at any school/locker room, and getting the security password at opposing schools isn't going to happen. Even though I have Wi-Fi access to my home school, the signal is unavailable in the locker room (in the basement on the fringe of the school grounds). So, can I just print reports without e-mailing? If not, and here is where my ignorance of Apple/iPads may show itself, does iScore itself send the e-mail or does it use the default e-mail app of the iPad itself? If it uses the default app, does that app save a copy in the "sent" or "drafts" area? I'm thinking that if I try to send the e-mail with the stats reports attached, but am unable to do so, that maybe I can pull up the "sent/draft" copy of the e-mail, and it will have the PDF/HTML file(s) attached, and I can then pull those up and print them. Am I dreaming here?
Thanks for helping out a newbie with some silly questions.
