Now updated for iOS 7 and 64-bit support! Soccer WhiteBoard is an application which allows you to display player and ball positioning as you would on a portable dry-erase soccer coach's white board. It is a universal application that works on the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Simply drag the players and ball around with your fingertips as you explain to a player how to position themselves on the field! You can utilize pinch/zoom/scroll/rotate gestures and controls to focus on any area of the field you'd like (or leave it at a full-field display). Teams can be represented by a wide variety of colors and you can have any number of players on each team on the field at any time. The letter designation on each player can be left at the default "position" numbers OR you can put a custom letter/number combination (as many as three characters on the iPad, two on other iOS devices) to represent a player's initials or their number. You also have the option of displaying a label (such as the player's name) underneath the circle. Player positions, labels and designations can be saved for future recall. You can also save team data separately for use with multiple white boards. Originally released for the iPhone in summer of 2009, it is one of the original applications of it's kind! It's been totally re-written to take advantage of the latest and greatest features in iOS and to implement some of the great suggestions/feature requests received from users over the years! Visit http://www.sandcrater.com for more information and to access the Soccer WhiteBoard user manual, support pages and responses to user feedback. Need to draw lines on the white board? Activate one of the three drawing pens to draw different colored lines on the white board. By default the pens are red, green and blue but you have the option of changing the color of any given pen. To erase lines, simply use the erase control in the icon palette. iPhone and iPod touch users can also give the device a good shake to clear the lines. Want to show where a player came from when moved? Turn on the "trailing lines" feature and a narrow line will be drawn along the path that each player is moved. This illustrates where the player "came from" before that player reached their current position. Configuring Soccer WhiteBoard is as easy as double tapping anywhere on the field (for iPhone and iPod touch users) or simply using the on screen controls to the side of the field (for iPad users). The controls area is where you set the number of players on the field, team colors, the trailing lines function and is where you go to save the current whiteboard and load previously saved ones. Soccer WhiteBoard supports some of the latest features in iOS such as iCloud! Team data and white board data can optionally be saved to iCloud allowing you to access them from any of your iOS devices. The same data can be easily edited from both an iPad and an iPhone/iPod touch with ease and without loss of precision. Other more recent iOS features such as support for retina displays, printing to AirPrint printers and utilizing screen mirroring through AirPlay are supported. Soccer WhiteBoard allows you to use your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad as a tool to help teach players of any age. Younger players are drawn in to the high-tech solution and will not be as easily distracted when compared to using a traditional white/clip board. Not on the field? Use Soccer WhiteBoard to set up a scenario and then ask your players to move the dots to the right position! It can be used as a teaching tool both on and off the bench. ## Key features - Drag-and-drop player and ball positioning - Customizable team colors and player labels - Drawing tools for lines and annotations - Trailing lines to show player movement paths - Save and load tactical formations - iCloud support for cross-device synchronization ## Recent user reviews (10 of 12) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/soccer-whiteboard/id314066510/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-04-15* This app is a waste. Does not save as it is promoted. There is no app support. I have tried reaching out to them for help but no reply. Not worth the frustration. Don't get it. ### 4/5 — I love this app but. *2014-10-11* I love this app but I wish I could add the referee. I train referees and this would work a lot better for me if I could make an extra little circled icon for the referee to teach he referee positioning. ### 2/5 — ...disappointed! *2011-11-15* I can't get it to switch to a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3. I was also hoping to be able to number or initial the positions but no luck there either...any advice? ### 2/5 — Formations *2011-07-21* Can't get it to switch to a 4-4-2 ### 3/5 — it's okay. *2011-04-05* I wish I could draw the lines. ### 4/5 — Great tool! *2010-11-28* Quick and easy way to game plan formations. User friendly. ### 3/5 — Nice little app! *2010-08-09* Nice little app for the price! It does have a few minor bugs and could use some enhancements, but it is still usable in its current form and is better than many others out there, especially if you need smaller than 11v11. Enhancement suggestions: trailing line for ball in addition to player trailing line, multiple drawing line colors to distinguish between players vs opponents vs ball, ability to save trailing and drawn lines when saving a white board, ability to pick which half when toggling between full and half field, ability to scroll half field on iPad and/or ability to see the entire half in half field mode, ability to save white board as pic to email etc, and an undo button for lines. Ability to animate would be awesome, but looking for the above features first. Bug fixes needed: changed player position names sometimes revert to default when toggling between full and half field or portrait and landscape, custom position names do not save as part of a saved whiteboard, player markers shift when toggling between full and half field so they are not quite in the same position, a long straight diagonal line sometimes appears on the field while adjusting drawing options. Looking forward to the next release! ### 3/5 — Good start worth .99 for the cool idea but could be on to something. *2009-09-09* good start to what could be a great app. Problems - switching views (scrollable to full screen) the players don't stay in their places. Good - I love to be able to set up how many players are on the field and assign position( should also be able to type in players name). How about the same thing for Field Hockey Need to have a area off the field to keep spare players, with names. Then when sub is made you simply drag and drop players. ### 4/5 — Same *2009-07-20* Same as the third review ### 4/5 — I use it and like it a lot *2009-05-21* Great app. Very usefull ## Frequently asked questions about Soccer WhiteBoard ### What is Soccer WhiteBoard used for?
