Inputting rosters
Inputting rosters
First off, let me say that I'm VERY impressed with this app as well as the customer service I've witnessed while viewing this board for the past several weeks. Your video tutorials, quick response and willingness to incorporate enhancement suggestions from customers, and the app itself are all well ahead of what I've seen from most app developers.
With that out of the way, I had a quick question. I know that we can export data from the app to Excel (via the .csv option in e-mail) but what about inputting data from an Excel spreadsheet. What I'm thinking is this - as a coach, I'm given the full rosters of each team in my league after the draft. There are always a small number of kids that either join or drop out of the league, but the vast majority of the info in the spreadsheet will be correct all season long. I'd like to be able to take this spreadsheet (modify it if necessary) and have the rosters input into the app for me rather than having to type each name individually via the iPhone. Spelling errors, uniform numbers, new/dropped kids would then be done very simply on the fly, but having this data on my iPhone ahead of time will go a LONG way toward convincing my scorekeeper to use the app.
Obviously, if it isn't an option, I'll simply enter the data myself with my big fat non-textworthy hands but if I could do it via Excel, it would really put this thing over the top for me.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to 2.0 being approved. I've submitted my review already (toon184).

Re: Inputting rosters
We will be adding ways to import data for your rosters when we roll out the web site capabilities. We do not have a date yet for that option, but it is likely going to be within a few weeks of Apple approving 2.0 (whenever that is). This will allow you to use a computer keyboard instead of requiring input on the iPhone keypad.
Thank you.
Thank you.

8 minutes to not only give me an answer, but one that makes me happy.
Re: Inputting rosters
Has this feature now been added? If so, is there a basic instruction sheet/tutorial anywhere that I might start with?
Re: Inputting rosters
Hi and welcome, Ryan.
I don't think all the website capabilities are ready yet, although iScorecast is very impressive...
But, for very good instructional material (videos, pdf, etc) please go to http://iscore.fasterthanmonkeys.com/training.jsp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hope this helps...

Re: Inputting rosters
Do you have a target date for when the 2010 MLB rosters will be available and potential pricing?

Re: Inputting rosters
We have the 2010 rosters running in our test environment right now. The functionality will be included in our next release to Apple (which we expect will be in the next few days). The cost is most likely going to be $19.99 for the year.
Thank you for your interest.

Re: Inputting rosters
Once MLB rosters are ordered online, and PayPal receipt received, how long until an activation code is sent out?
