Number is a mobile app designed for dance competitions that solves a real, everyday problem: nobody ever knows what number is on stage! Competitions run early, late, out of order, and parents and dancers are constantly asking "What number are they on?" We've fixed that problem! With a crowd sourced reporting model, anyone at the competition can report the current number while out in the audience, and everyone benefits! Beyond the tracker, Number becomes a lightweight hub for competition day. You can record your dancers names and numbers for quick reference, and anyone can upload a photo of the schedule and scoring/adjudication documents to share with users at the event.
