However, the stats from the game don’t show up for me. Like I said though, still a very useful app. ### 4/5 — Media Mode? *2022-07-28, version 2.7.5* I love this app, but I can only score games for one team throughout the season. I would LOVE to have the ability as a media member to choose the schools I want to score for each week because that changes week to week for me. (Specifically if neither of those schools use DS themselves). ### 4/5 — Very helpful in many ways *2020-11-07, version 2.6.2* Been using this app for a couple seasons for our local HS team. Our Coach was not used to having instant stats, someone kept them on a legal pad and took a couple days to compile them. Now, post game, Coach pulls out his phone and can see his numbers. He’s never had the amount of information he’s now getting at his fingertips. Our broadcast team is also loving having the info available during the game broadcasts. I upload stats during breaks and they use a laptop to keep current on numbers during the game. The reports also let us easily email box scores to media outlets as soon as the game is final. **Developer response:** We're glad you like it! 😁 ### 3/5 — Stat problems *2020-10-12, version 2.6.2* The Stats won’t sync over. What should I do? **Developer response:** See the "Troubleshooting — Unable to sync" guide at https://www.digitalscout.com/support-apps#sync ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2019-10-21, version 2.6.2* Works well, can be glitchy (update really necessary) but overall a good app **Developer response:** Can you be more specific about what is glitchy? What problems are you experiencing? We'd love to hear from you. Send your notes to support@digitalscout.com ### 2/5 — Great for fast, simple offensive stats. Other stats are not very accurate. *2017-10-08, version 2.4.0* I’ve used this app for many games and find it great for quickly entering and tallying offensive and special teams stats. However, defensive stats are not very accurate by standard guidelines for tackles. You get one primary tackle and one assist, but that skews the results when reporting or exporting for MaxPreps because the first person entered on a tackle is credited with a solo tackle plus an assist. Those aren’t the true stat numbers since two players taking an opponent down should both count as assisted tackles in the majority of cases, by standard stats rules, anyway. My biggest reason for not using this app is inaccurate reporting for defensive stats followed closely by a lack of options for other stats such as YAC, QB Hurries, etc. My second problem with the app and its biggest shortcoming, somewhat easily worked around, is DO NOT USE IT WHILE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. Its continual syncing in the background is great for livecasting a game, but if you have to go back and correct a prior play that has already been synchronized, nightmares ensue. Play numbers become jumbled, time of possession becomes irreparable, and generally trying to use it during a game becomes impossible. Down/distance, direction on field, almost EVERYTHING becomes unusable until the plays are deleted back to the last play before an edit and ensuing plays re-entered. Great for simple stuff, but beware if you want by-the-books accuracy. I had to switch products to get the accuracy I needed, which is a shame because I love their interface and many other things they did so well for quick, live stats entry if you don’t need to go back and correct any mistakes. ### 3/5 — Stats double *2016-10-12, version 2.3.42* This is a great app for tracking team stats for high school football. But if you have more than one person reporting stats for your team it will double after the game is synced. If you could have the option to store the stats on your phone instead of the server to remedy that problem but other than that needing to be fixed it's a great app but it needs work!! **Developer response:** There are systems to handle two opposing teams both recording stats. However, if two record for the same team, it can get ... complicated. Contact support@digitalscout.com and explain your situation and we have controls that can turn on and off stat reports so the data comes out correctly for you. ### 3/5 — Could be 5🌟 *2016-09-21, version 2.3.42* This is my second year of using this app doing stats for the high school team. Last year no problem, this year when I go to sync the game stats they mess up...it's almost like the stats double for some reason. I tried contacting the maker but nothing. ### 3/5 — FYI - for high school teams only *2016-07-28, version 2.3.42* I was looking for an app to track stats for a youth FB team, but their support team stated they only work with US high schools. ### 3/5 — Eh... 😕 *2016-06-15, version 2.3.42* Why do I have to send an email to someone to register my team? Can I just actually register my team without doing the email procedure? It's complicated. Other than that, it's really good. I like that you can add penalties and make plays so easily. I'll give it five stars if you improve on team registration. ### 4/5 — Good app needs some more fixes *2014-10-14, version 2.3.25* V.17 did not lock up on touchdowns V.25 does, not going to the PAT screen and then locks up and dumps the app. Running on IPad ### 4/5 — Simple and Practical *2014-08-30, version 2.3.15* It's as easy as paying attention to the chains and the players who touch the ball. The app does the rest. The complete stats layout is awesome! ### 5/5 — Nice update *2013-08-16, version 2.0.7* A solid upgrade to an app that our team couldn't live without. Looks great on our iPad and I know we'll get a lot of use out of it this season. ### 4/5 — New and working fine *2013-08-14, version 2.0.7* Had some problems in last year's version but I used it for a scrimmage and things look fine. Love the native iPad views, and the automatic posts to twitter is a cool feature. Things are looking up for this app! Coach D ### 5/5 — Much better *2013-06-18, version 2.0.6* The updates made to this app make statting a game much easier. The live stats showed up well on my teams site. My wife was able to follow our game live from home. ### 5/5 — Impressive *2013-05-18, version 2.0.5* Thank you ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where are the totals? *2019-11-19, version 2.6.2* I spent hours capturing the stats from each play only to find the stats page is all zeros and when I share a highlight it has stats but they are all incomplete. Almost as bad as hudl. **Developer response:** We're a little confused. The highlight feature was disabled a long time ago. You might be referring to something else? The stats are calculated on the server, so you must be connected to the internet for those to sync up. Stats are still saved locally, and will be synchronized automatically when connected. Then stats will show. If you have further questions about how to use the app, we'd be glad to help answer them if you send them to us at support@digitalscout.com. ### 1/5 — New update broke it *2015-08-16, version 2.3.39* App was great until update. Now it freezes and crashes immediately upon opening. Please fix immediately. Games start this week. ### 1/5 — Much to be done *2014-09-17, version 2.3.17* Issues Blocked punt are not done according to NFHS rules On quick entry - you cannot decrease any TOP..,any time you put in adds to the time - it will not accepta minus sign ### 1/5 — CRAP!!! *2013-08-30, version 2.0.8* Where you once had a great app, now you've updated it into worthlessness! Then you don't support it with phone support but only emails. This treatment has sent me to find another app! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2012-10-20, version 2.0.5* Do NOT download this app or use their services. It is terrible and the customer service is worse. ### 1/5 — Not good! *2012-09-12, version 2.0.2* I've been with them for about 7 years now and this is the worst update! I couldn't see my stats to call into the paper last week!! How embarrassing it was to call a parent to get the stats they kept by hand on Saturday because the program had scrambled them! Then you can't get answers no one knows how to help you or they just won't call you back! ### 1/5 — Down Hill Fast *2012-09-10, version 2.0.2* The programmers have a ways to go to get this app/program/website back to where it used to be. I see where they are going (nice changes), but the launch was poorly planned at best. Nothing is ready for the season...user beware. Digital Scout, finish what you started and get the program up and running. I for one am counting on it. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2012-09-05, version 2.0.2* Well, what to say about this "new" version. It crashes more then the other versions and they (Digital Scout) still can't get anything right. I don't know how they call themselves the "leader" in High School sports stat keeping. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!! ### 1/5 — Just doesn't make sense *2012-08-25, version 2.0* Why would you launch an "update" to your app that makes it unusable? Imagine my surprise when I found out that my current login credentials do not work for the new app. I was slightly more surprised to find out that the credentials needed to login to the new app aren't even available yet. I called support and sales to help; no answer. So then I had to spend the next two hours trying to figure out how to rollback to the previous working version. You guys do know that football season has started? Preseason may not count for the record, but most teams still want to take stats. If you update now the app is totally useless without being able to login. Good planning guys. ### 1/5 — Too Expensive *2011-09-28, version 1.0.6* Not a bad program but lots of room for improvements! Way too expensive for simple basic web functions. I have baseball app that also does live game feeds and it on cost $10! Compare that to their fee of $149 per season with much less offered! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Arena *2022-05-22, version 2.7.5* I am curious if this app has applications for a 50 yard field, kickoffs at the goal line, and some of the other unique aspects of the arena game. If so, please let me know!!! ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2021-10-25, version 2.7.5* I did a mini league for my neighborhood and this worked FANTASTIC. Because it keeps stats we were able to have awards which was lots of fun. I recommend for anyone who wants a very good stats app. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-10-04, version 2.7.5* I just started using this app to score my son’s HS team. Easy to use and great stat reporting. Awesome customer service. ### 5/5 — Fantastic, Useful, Helpful *2017-10-09, version 2.4.0* I tried earlier to learn a different app to keep my HS football team's stats, but I couldn't get it. Then I found Digital Scout and was using it in a day. Very intuitive and reliable and the support has been excellent. They provided immediate answers to my questions and suggestions. Here's a direct quote from a person in the media who gets my reports: "This is great, thank you. I wish all of the football teams we cover were using this." ### 5/5 — Great for HS statisticians *2016-08-30, version 2.3.42* Takes a little while to get the hang of the app but once you do it's a big time saver. I'd love to be able to upload stats straight from the app instead of having to use my PC but that's a minor issue. ### 5/5 — Wonderful season! *2014-11-24, version 2.3.25* Although the year ended sooner than we hoped on the field, everything off the field and with the app went as smooth as ever. Thanks for a great product, and were already counting down until next year! ### 5/5 — Great app. *2014-09-05, version 2.3.15* Perfect app for coaches, players, press, parents, and especially stat keepers like me. We used it game 1 of our jr. High season and linked the "live stats" page off our football site and shattered our daily hits record....FOR A JR. HIGH GAME! Ease of use is great, and response time from their support is even better. These guys built a good one! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2013-11-17, version 2.0.10* As a small town sportswriter, I'm always looking for a stat program that makes my job easier. This is THAT program. Took me a few practice games to get used to it, but now can use this thing in full. Highly recommend this app ### 5/5 — Great software! *2013-10-28, version 2.0.10* This has been a great season using this software. It has gotten rave reviews wherever we have played. News media is using it for its stories and internet live broadcasts are using it during our games. We look forward to even more improvements and enhancements in the future. ### 5/5 — Live stats! *2013-09-11, version 2.0.10* So cool to see live stats during the game for my coaches and fans on mobile, and on the web at the same time! There were a few bugs earlier in the season, but the developer has been releasing updates almost weekly to make sure it runs correctly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
