I am a new user to your program and love it. I manage upper level baseball teams and keep a very detailed book to generate stats that dictate my pratice plans and what needs the most work for each player. So far I have not run across anything your software can't do.
I know this may be a feature limited to a small percentage of users who care but I am hoping to get the request in and discover that it was easy enough to do even for the small crowd requesting it. You already track pitch type and location - is it possible to show previous pitch sequences somewhere on the main screen when a batter comes to the plate (or even another swipe screen or something if real estate is not available for it). Just a simple 'FCcFk' (for fastball, curve and knuckle) or something to indicate those 5 pitches previously thrown during that at bat. Manually, in my book, I use lowercase to indicate that pitch was taken and uppercase to indicate the batter swung at that pitch. Somewhere near the batter's history for that game (currently in the lower left in my version) for each at bat would be great!
As I mentioned, I am new here so perhaps someone has already suggested this. If so, sorry for the duplicate request.
Thanks for the consideration,
Lee
Pitch Sequence
Re: Pitch Sequence
Welcome to the commumity...
Un related to your specific request for pitch type sequence, but want to be sure you know that you can record stirke swinging and strike called. strike swinging is a flick of the stike button while strike called is a normal tap of strike button..

Re: Pitch Sequence
If I may...your application already has all the basics and then some of the extras - nad it is not only good, it holds promise to be great!. It is only a matter of time before you have all the advanced information that managers need for all levels of baseball. Things like pitch sequence (I mentioned this earlier) to batting averages against specific counts (what is my pitcher's batting average against him on 0-0, 0-1, 1-1, 1-2, etc counts), batting average against his types of pitches (fastball, curveball, changeup, etc). percentage of groundballs, flyballs, "patterns" in his sequence (he almost always follows a 0-2 curveball with a fastball) etc. and more!
By "basic" I don't mean simple - yours is not a simple application. By "basic" I mean stats that all levels of baseball need,and then some. I think by "simply" offering some of the advanced stats (not functionality - just stats) that upper-levels of baseball managers need your application can/will become the industry standard that everyone copies (or tries to).
I have always been a Windows application fan simply because of the speed of distribution for applications. I have been looking at these types of apps for over 20 years and yours is the first "non-windows" application that holds promise (and more!) for changing users over from Windows to other operating systems/platforms that looks like it could become the leader in this type of app.
Keep up the good (great, really) work, implement the suggestions that your users are asking for (I have read through many and they are all very good suggestions) and you will soon become not only the leader but the standard in thiis type of application. EVeryone will be trying to keep up with you!.

P.S. If the team is looking for additional developers please contact me. I have been an application developer for over 20 years and would love to contribute to an effort such as this. If you have enough developers already, great! - keep up the great work! Follow the advise of what your users need. However, if you are lookig for additional developers to keep up with the demand of your users, please, *please* let me know. I have over 20 years of experience deveoping desktop and web applications in c, c++, java and c# (and many other "minor" languages). I *want* to see an application like yours take the market control, whether I am sitting on the sidelines offering suggestions and enjoying the features or actively writing code to make it happen.
