Pitch Count Notification(s)

I searched, but haven't seen this request before, but I would like to see (hear) some sort of audible warning at user selectable pitch count numbers. To me, this is of particular importance this time of year (i.e. Little League Tournament time). Maybe the audible alert would say "Pitch Count" at any of the following: 20, 35, 50, 65, 85, or 100 pitches. Ideally, in the New Game - Options screen, I/we could input whatever pitch count number warning(s) we want. The ability to select at least 3 (and up to 5) pitch count warnings per game would be very nice. An additional helpful tool for this would also include a pre-warning audible alert for when the pitch count reaches say 5 pitches before the user selectable pitch count warning.

Thanks again for the great product. I have been using iScore for two years now, and can't imagine scoring games by "paper" ever again.

We will add this to our enhancement request list. The pitch counts are always visible right on the main scoring screen, so it is just a glance to see the number of pitches. We are not sure an audible alert would be heard at many games, but we can certainly make an optional visible alert.

I am very aware of the pitch counts that are shown on the main scoring screen. However, sometimes in the excitement of the game, we could use an extra reminder that our pitcher(s) are about to exceed certain pitch count limits (as defined by the coach). I do agree that in some instances the audible warning/alert will not be loud enough to hear. In that case, some sort of visible warning is a great idea as well.

Thanks for giving us users a voice with future product enhancements!!

The visible warnings would be a very big asset to the program. It becomes a very important part of the game strategy when you have to manage pitch counts over a weekend tournament. If the game is very interesting you may forget to check the small pitch count in the top right corner, but a programmable visible warning that pops up would resolve that.

FTM, if this feature makes the list I would request that it is optional to activate.

I will echo the pitch count request. My main issue is that I usually report to the coach after each half inning the pitch count. However, the app switches over to the next pitcher as soon as the last out is recorded. I haven't found a way to get the pitch count of the pitcher without using undo and adding one pitch. If there is a better way, I'm all ears.

Out next release has a 1/2 inning recap that will show exactly what you are looking for. We are hoping to release that version very soon.
