Great and can be even greater
Significantly better than keeping score on paper, but would be amazing with a few additional features:
On the Home Screen, it would be great to see past matches (e.g. last season, week 6). Right now, it’s difficult to go through the main APA app in order to find them. Additionally, collapsible sections for past, current week, and future matches.
A chat for either the captains/co-captains or both teams to communicate for late starts or rescheduling purposes so we don’t have to go through our division reps each time (Volo has a good function for this). Something that’s easily monitored by the division reps because we all know this can get weird real quick.
As others have said, it’d be great to see more info from each past match (final point count for 9-ball, defensive shots per rack, time outs, etc) to determine matchups.
Additionally, a live, view-only link for non-APA players to watch. Perhaps it would have to be verified or secure as to not show full names/locations/etc. (Uber/Lyft sharing comes to mind as reference)
To add to that, it’d be amazing to see how other teams in my league are doing that night. Likely would have to be limited to just the specific division/league players and only accessible on the night of play, but it would be cool to see where we stand in live time.

Update App for View Only Access
The APA Scorekeeper app is easy to use. It does crash frequently and lags a lot. But i’m sure you’re working on that.
The feature I’d most like to see added is view-only access to all matches being played. Many players have family or friends on other teams and would enjoy checking their scores, following matches, and seeing how the standings are shaping up. Just being able to follow along, without access to change any scores, would be a great addition!

Must-Have App for APA Players ⭐
Great app! After years of using paper score sheets, this has made keeping score so much easier. I’d love to see it expanded to support more local APA events like Qualifiers, Regionals, MVP tracking, and Captain/Co-Captain roles. A player history and career stats section (wins/losses, innings, defensive shots, skill level history, break-and-runs, mini slams, and match history) would take this app to the next level. It has the potential to become the go-to app for every APA player. 🎱

Hey DJ! Thanks for your feedback & 5 stars! We appreciate you and your participation - have a great week😁️🎱
Great app with one horrible flaw
As long as no mistakes are made, the app is great and much easier than paper scoring. It’s great, except…
There should be a practice mode where new players, or people like me that fear messing stuff up and interfering with the flow of play, can learn how to use the editing and correction interfaces while in the safety and comfort of their own home. As it is, the only time someone can learn to use these features is when something has gone wrong and play has stopped and everyone is looking at you. When this happens to me, I usually end up tracking one of the kids down and asking them to fix it.
Despite me being a retired software engineer reasonably competent with computers, I am not confident in editing during a match even after using it several sessions. Admittedly the younger folk catch on quickly. Even so, a practice mode would be useful for being able to teach new scorekeepers.
Please add this feature!

Hey Keith, we really appreciate your feedback! We agree and are working on a practice mode. Let us know if you have any other suggestions for us and our team. We look forward to your feedback once this feature is released!
Great, but…
Love the concept of being able to keep score electronically however, why isn’t the scorekeeper app set up to keep track of dead balls? Those are huge part of the score…
