### 4/5 — Not a bad App

*2024-02-20*

I tried this app out and charted a game of mine on film.  The more I used it the easier it got.  My only concern was at the end of the game, I was not able to see all of the game stats on my iPad screen.  The bottom row of stats was not visible and I wasn’t able to view them.  I would like to see more common fouls listed in the drop down menu - player control, blocking, traveling and so on.  I added them as the game progressed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your note.  Are you referring to the Game Stats access from the link on the Game Data page?  The bottom line should be U1 and U2's Called as Trail counts.  What model iPad were you using?  One "to do" I have is better formatting on the newer models released.  

By drop down menu for common fouls are you referring to the "Enter Call or Game Comment" field in the Game Data screen?  If so, I can easily add a listing in the pre-loaded comments.  

How useful would you feel if there was a popup window after selecting Foul or Violation with a list of the foul/violation type?  I considered that in the initial design and discarded it as maybe I was collecting too much data.
