What's New in Play Ball Lineup

1.6

May 5, 2015

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. This update provides ongoing bug fixes due to the recent Swift 1.2 update that affected mostly iOS 7 users. NOTE: We are continuing to monitor the App for any new bugs as they arise and will fix them in future updates in a timely manner. If you have any questions or concerns, please connect with us via any of the following vs. leaving us a negative review. We would greatly appreciate it. - support@playballlineup.com, - www.facebook.com/PlayBallLineup - on twitter at @playballlineup Other enhancements to Play Ball Lineup: We have added player name resizing functionality for those coaches who wish to enter first and last names of their players into their lineups. Lastly, as many of you have requested, we have synced the lineup with the batting order. Now the order of the player's names on the exported lineup page will mirror the order of the player's names on the exported batting order page. As always...please let us know your thoughts.

Won’t let me select the date of the game

From my Mac and therefore is useless. Waste of $5 and terrible UI from Iphone.

Doesn’t work, no help available

I’ve watched the videos, read the faq’s. Tried six times, entered team info, skill levels, all the stuff. Still cannot access the “generate lineup” screen. Went to “Contact” tab and it doesn’t work. Went to website and the “Send us a Message” screen takes input but doesn’t have a submit or send button. Hard Fail.

Glitchy and Cumbersome

I wish I could get my $5 back.

Promising concept and features but the app suffers from several deficits:

1) Screens pop back and forth, in and out of where you want to be, resulting in a confusing and frustrating experience

2) the apps user interface is not intuitive. For one, it forces landscape mode and the various pop up boxes for entering data cover the field you are entering so editing data is blind. Also, the fields themselves are not always clear, esp on the player lineup where there are fields/boxes for entering data that are barely visible.

3) I finally fought my way through getting the team setup and the players with their skills listed, only to find that the function I purchased the app for, creating a lineup, is not working.

Spent money and a significant amount of time only to abandon and delete the app. Best way to describe is that this looks like it was designed 10 years ago for the iPad and has not been properly updated or supported since.
