Newbie here. Really enjoying this app for scoring and keeping track of stats for our little league games. Very good job!
Two things I think will help improve the app:
1. I really like the pdf generated from the admin website that displays hit locations for an entire team. I think in addition to the current stats displayed here, it would be helpful to have the player notes displayed here under each player as well. That way you can look at all of this info for each player for a particular team at a glance.
2. Incorporate support for pitching machine or coach pitch play. I'm currently using a workaround (actually have a non-batting player called "pitching machine") because I don't want all the pitching stats credited to the defensive player on the mound, and then having that player listed in the batting order as a DH. Would be much easier if the app could handle these type of situations for me.
Other than that, I'm really loving this app! Thanks!

Re: Player notes added to hit locations pdf
We will add the request for notes on the PDF to our list, but it is not an easy one as there is a space consideration. We fit the hit locations onto a single page for most teams by utilizing the full space of an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet. If we allowed random notes in there, one person may enter a single sentence for notes, and someone else may want paragraphs worth of information. There is no way to lay that out in a compact / consistent way.
With the coach / machine pitch, this is something that is on our enhancement list, but is not currently a top priority. We have many things that will apply to all iScore users, and this use case is very small percentage wise (coach / machine pitch is only for the youngest players... most of whom would not understand the statistics anyway and are just out there to have fun). This is not to say we will not do it - it is definitely on our list. It is just something that will have to wait until higher priority items are done first.
As you noted, there is a workaround for it as well.

Re: Player notes added to hit locations pdf
Fair enough. I was thinking of limiting the notes to something like 100 chars or less, but I can definitely understand the concern for lack of space. Thanks for the quick response!
