The TapRecorder is a spreadsheet/data recording application designed for use on iPad and iPhone devices. It features a row-and-column tabular data display, formulas for column calculations and specialized "tap count" and "choice list" columns for ease of data recording. Tap count columns enable the user to tap on a cell in the spreadsheet which automatically increments the value. It is an ideal tool for recording data on iPads, iPhones and iPods. In addition to the iPhone/iPad/iPod TapRecorder application, Dimensional Software provides desktop TapRecorder tools for consolidation and set up of TapRecordings. These tools are available at "www.taprecorder.com/i_TapRecorder". ## Key features - Row-and-column tabular data display - Formulas for column calculations - Tap count columns for automatic incrementing - Choice list columns for easy data entry - Desktop tool integration for data consolidation ## Chart rankings - #184 in Top Paid · Productivity (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (9 of 9) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/taprecorder/id423408378/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Phenomenal practice stat *2018-10-30, version 4.04* This is a great app for collecting practice stats. While it doesn’t keep rotational stats, it allows you to create custom sheets that are easy to use and calculate. The nice thing is that it doesn’t limit to just the 6 players on the court at any given time. The developer, Jack, is also great! He is quick and responsive with questions and concerns. For our program we got the iPad and the PC version and have had success integrating electronic practice stats without expensive programs like DataVolley. I would absolutely recommend this to any program hands down. ### 5/5 — Roster Development/Data Analyses/evaluation *2017-02-27, version 3.81* Great way to get real time data and assess personnel on the spot. This app has tremendous value when putting a line-up together. Stats can be sent in a PDF format which I love. A lot of trial & error In the beginning, however it's worth it. ### 4/5 — Custom Recordings *2016-03-23, version 3.81* I like that I can create custom recordings but I can't figure out how to delete a column or row. ### 5/5 — Great Tool for Volleyball *2014-10-23, version 3.81* The TapRecorder is a truly innovative iPad app which allows me to record all kinds of data on the court in real time. It has been very useful as a coaching aid for my volleyball team. The built-in PracticeStats templates for volleyball have given me a great head start on building my own library of stats for practice drills. Now I have created my own collection of TapRecordings which have allowed me to increase our team's intensity in practice. And the results are showing in our match performance. ### 4/5 — Useful app. Great service *2013-09-11, version 3.51* Does exactly what I need it to do and just what is promised. Super customer service When I had a technical issue with the app, it was fixed and and update to the app completed within days. There was even great follow up on my problem to make sure it was resolved. Wish list item- an easy way within the app to tie different stats together to give an overall ranking of players. I have accomplished this with a separate spreadsheet but would love to do it all instantly. ### 1/5 — Does not work in iOS 5 on iPad 2 *2012-11-15, version 3.36* After an update, TapRecorder started freezing right at the intro screen. Two updates later, it still doesn't work. I used to use it regularly at practice and in games, but it only worked for half of the season. When it did work, it crashed regularly, but I dealt with it since it was a useful app. For this cost, I expect a much higher quality software product. ### 4/5 — Great practice program *2012-09-13, version 3.30* This is a great program for taking stats in practice. My players run over to see how they are doing every time we finish a drill we are recording. I saw a few negative reviews but I don't think they read the directions on how to transfer files from the desktop to the iPad or iPhone. You are able create new interactive forms but don't have to , you can virtually take stats on passing, serving and hitting right "out of the box". There also many different standard forms to use and I think many of the copy and paste bugs are fixed so you can transfer information from form to form. If you have a problem or a question both Jack and Gerri are great. I have been using versions of this software since 2005 and customer service has been nothing but excellent. Where else can you call or email for help and the engineer/owner gives you a call back personally. I gave it a 4/5 because some of the macros in excel for Mac don't work but again they called me personally and are already thinking of a work-around for future versions. Thanks for all of the help guys! John ### 1/5 — Very cumbersome, don't buy *2012-08-09, version 3.20* This app is very cumbersome to use and I would not recommend anyone to buy it. The first problem is that you have to create all the columns and formulas on the iPad with a very cumbersome user interface. It takes forever to create a simple spreadsheet to calculate your stats on the app. There is no way to create it in Excel or Numbers. To make matters worse, a friend of mine took the time to create a spreadsheet on the app, but it turns out others cannot open it. This is certainly not worth the money. ### 3/5 — Freeze it *2011-04-27, version 3.01* Great concept but program has froze 3 times while trying to put passing calculations in. This will be a great program for stating practice. ## Frequently asked questions about TapRecorder ### What is TapRecorder used for?

TapRecorder has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 4.08 — 2021-02-02 TapRecorder version 4.08 upgrades the product for compatibility with iOS version 14 using the most recent version of Xcode. It also has an improved message sequence to help users select and delete unwanted TapRecordings. ### 4.04 — 2017-08-10 Version 4.04 adds two significant new features. TapRecordings can now be sorted in descending or ascending order based on a column value. With just a few taps (pause, highlight column, sort) any TapRecording can have the rows resequenced. Tapping the first time on sort causes the reordering to be descending, while tapping a second time will sort the rows in ascending order. Version 4.03 also adds an "Import" feature. New TapRecordings can be created from data on the clipboard or data which is available in delimited text files. This can be very handy when you want to make a spreadsheet into a TapRecording but do not want to reenter the data. It is also very handy to move lists (such as team rosters) from another computer or text note. ### 4.02 — 2017-03-20 New in version 4.02: Formulas can be much larger (about 3 times) than earlier versions. Device rotation handling has been improved with better report spacing in landscape mode. Swiping can be used to move from page to page, making it much easier to navigate large TapRecordings. Column width and decimals can be adjusted more easily by tapping on larger/smaller buttons. Most importantly, version 4.02 has been updated for compatibility with newer versions of iOS, including iOS 10. The previous version of the TapRecorder, 3.81, implemented Clipboard Copy and Paste functions so data can be moved to/from other apps as well as between TapRecordings. Note that an updated Consolidator has also been made released and can be downloaded from our web site. "Consolidator II" replaces the older Excel macro-based TapRecorder Consolidator and runs on both the Macintosh and Windows PCs. ### 3.81 — 2014-08-17 This version returns iOS 5.1 compatibility to the TapRecorder. The previous version only ran on iOS 6.0 and above. As a result, this version will run on all iPads, including the original iPad, as long as it has been upgraded to iOS 5.1. Of course it will run on all newer iPads as well as well as any iPhones with iOS 5.1 and above. ### 3.80 — 2014-06-13 This version adds arm64 compatibility so the TapRecorder is available on the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air and newer iPad minis. It also adds a "gray bar" option for TapRecordings for improved visibility. ## Apps similar to TapRecorder | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Monk Mindset: Peace & Focus](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/monk-mindset-peace-and-focus/id6751244047) | 4.8 (73) | Free | Productivity | | [Schulte Table - Eye Trainer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/schulte-table-eye-trainer/id6466106387) | 4.9 (13) | Free | Productivity | | [Arbiter Registration](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/arbiter-registration/id1437366757) | 2.5 (35) | Free | Productivity | | [HotNotes - Good Schedules Take](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hotnotes-good-schedules-take/id1607635694) | 3.5 (6) | Free | Productivity | | [Keep&Share](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/keep-and-share/id1013157533) | 3.3 (23) | Free | Productivity | | [Eventsquid QR Check-In App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/eventsquid-qr-check-in-app/id1468681881) | 4.0 (5) | Free | Productivity | ## More apps by Dimensional Software - [Volleyball Ace Stats](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/volleyball-ace-stats/id369490775) All apps by Dimensional Software: https://appshunter.io/developer/369490778 ## Related topics [dimensional software](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/dimensional-software) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
