Inputting rosters
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 6:48 pm
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).
