Update

Any update coming? There hasn’t been one since 2020. Be nice to add clock violations among other new rules

Thanks for the review. Update with new rules is in beta testing.

Please update this

It crashes with the newer iPhone iOS if I want to look at the pdf of the scoresheet. I haven’t used it since it started doing that and, going by the fact that it hasn’t been updated in two years, I’m betting there’s no option for pitch clock violations for balls and strikes.

I used it all the time before it started crashing on me and I would again if an update came around.

New release is in development (including pitch timer violations!) Please contact us under Settings>Send Feedback regarding the PDF crash.

Great

Great scoring app. Doesn’t look like it’s been supported for a while. Wish you could upload rosters.

Great “Classic” Scorebook

This is by far my favorite scorebook/score keeping app. If you’re looking for a classic scorebook that’s easy to use, intuitive, and straightforward, then this is a great option. All of the other apps I’ve used are extremely convoluted and busy. This one is a SCOREBOOK ONLY which is exactly what I was looking for. The developer is great as well; responded to an email in less than 24 hours.

Glad you appreciate the app! Look for first pitch time and game duration in the box score in the next release.

Great App!

I have been using this to score Strat-O-Matic games. Works very well. I wish there was a way to enter historical game dates. I am replaying 1975 season. Unless I have missed something, I can’t enter a date such as 05/01/1975.

An Added Dimension To The Game

I have used this app for 5 years plus, and it is the best.
When I’m at the park it it’s been a tool that turns heads.
I’ve had coached ask me pitch count and batter history.
No matter what level I’m scoring, I enjoy the game more by being a part of it and not just a fan!

Great app, easy to use

I’ve been using this app for 4 or so years, just keeps getting better as the game continues. The support team is quick to respond if you ever face any problems. Used to always use my pencil and paper to score games, but now I don’t need them with the great scorecards this app creates.

Pitchers?

Why not have the classic scorecard look? Adding pitchers is difficult. Fairly user friendly

We thought that the scorecards were exactly the classic look! Please reach out via the Send Feedback link under Settings with your thoughts about adding pitchers.

Ok if it’s a routine game

Tried to use it recently when scoring an MLB game and in the first game I scored there were no issues, it was a pretty routine game. Double switches are clunky to do in the app and it looks incorrect on the printed scorecard. Plays were an error occurs are also difficult to score in the app. Just an OK app be prepared for lots of frustration.

To be honest we agree with you about double-switches! Look for “Substitutions” in the At Bat Help section under the Settings tab to see how to do it in the current version of the app, but we will improve the interface in a future release. Contact us by tapping Send Feedback in the Settings tab and let us know how you’d like errors to work (in general you just tap “E” when recording a putout.)

Need some improvements

I really like this app but may I make some suggestions?

1. Should be able to go back to previous innings to make corrections (ie. Error changed to hit)

2. Should be able to score a force out differently from a FC. Sometimes a Force is not a fielder’s choice.

Thanks for the review! Previous inning and full-game editing are in development. Regarding force out vs. fielder’s choice, please contact us on our support page or within the app under Settings>Send Feedback

Usable, but needs more options

I have used the app for several years but there are 2 glaring problems for Little League. If you play in a league that allows a coach to play standard 9, or 10 with extra hitter, or bat all and put any 9 in the field...good luck. You must tell the app in advance how many players BOTH teams will be using. If they have 12, and you have 10, you will have 2 ghost batters in your order that you must advance past each time that they come due. If you have a 5 run rule...good luck. Very glitchy to end the inning when that run scores....sometimes the next inning will lead with the batter that got the 5th run in, other times it will be the proper batter, (God help you if it is the aforementioned ghost batter). Further complicating this is my league allows unlimited runs in a teams last at-bat. A simple addition to the “other play” tab would be “end 1/2 inning x run rule”.

These are good suggestions, but we haven’t yet figured out how to include all possible combinations of youth rules! Ending a half-inning early is supported, though. Please submit a report on our support page (tap Help under the Settings tab) and we can look at your problem leaving the batter at the plate.

Decent but needs work

Pros: Can add a tremendous number of players to teams so if you want to score a Spring Training MLB game or if a team just has a lot of players, this app can handle it. Can add various leagues so you can score your kid’s baseball game and an AL MLB game with the DH. You can also assign multiple home fields to teams if you want/need to. Pretty cool extras include Pat Venditte mode to accommodate the rare switch pitcher situation. Support is pretty responsive also which is uncommon.

Cons: Very buggy. I tend to set the lineups for MLB games when they come out 2-3 hours prior to game time and by the time it is time to start, players are just missing. This happens often. Lots of tediousness as well. Once the game starts, you can not view the batting order and the app uses an Undo button for correction however you can not go back to a certain point and make a correction so you have to hit Undo NUMEROUS times to correct. Also, it is overly complicated to handle classic NL double switches.

Overall, for a pay app, I expect more. There are some great features but it needs to be more user friendly and intuitive. Feels like work to use this app. Not a great replacement for a paper scorebook and overall does not make things easier to score digitally.

iPads in the future?

A good app but wish it worked for iPads.

Thanks! We’re hoping to release an iPad version in the future (along with a number of other great features.)

Crashes mid game

I lost a game almost halfway through. App just closed on it’s own. When I tried to open up the game again it crashes app.

Also for whatever reason the app sometimes changes the name of the teams mid game and sometimes will subtract a run from the total score when I end the game.

Too buggy.

It sounds like there is a corrupted player in your database. Please contact us via email or the support site under Help in the Settings tab so we can repair your data and attempt to fix the bug!

Love this App-Class A Support

I love how I can get a play by play log, box score and score card. These are handy files that I can share with the coach. Keeping track of pitchers and their tendencies is a nice feature showing total pitches, strikes and balls-Being able to list the type of pitch thrown would be a good addition. On the downside, if you’re in a league that limits the number of runs per inning then you have to end on a half inning and make some minor adjustments if the last batter hits a home run while the bases are loaded. The best part is how attentive support is and how quickly they respond to inquiries. I can hardly wait for the next update!

Thanks for the feedback: two of your requests are already supported in the current version of the app! (Recording the pitch type is on the list for a future release.) To email the game log, box score or scorecard, tap the share icon (box with arrow pointing up) in the upper right. To end an inning before 3 outs (e.g. run rule), tap "Other" in the lower right corner of the At Bat screen, then tap "End Half-Inning" and tap again to confirm. Please come back and update your review -- and hopefully add a star or two -- after you've tried those out.
