iScore Baseball v1.65.08 submitted to App store yesterday

[jdonato]

All of the things you mentioned have been identified for the play by play... we just thought we'd throw it in early since we were doing the 1.65 release. Another thing you don't see right now in the play by play is who is pitching... we are adding that for 1.70.

Thanks for the feedback.

Nice. I realized you were "working on it", but I decided to point those things anyway, thinking that most of the time is best to change things while you are "at it" than after the main programming is done.

I was going to add to my first post the bit about the pitcher, and somehow completely forgot. Thanks for mentioning it.

The addition of the "Pitch-by-pitch/Play-by-Play" is something I have not seen in a similar app before, and is a testimony of why this is the best app of its class right now, and is getting way better with every release.

how long does a submission usually take to be approved?

[FTMSupport]

The average for most applications is 7 days, but it can be more or less than that... we have had approvals in as little as 4 days, and as many as 11.

In addition to having a play by play, can you add an option that lists all of the scoring plays as well? A summary of the scoring plays would be a nice feature.

[jdonato]

That's a nice one, Coach Lance!
Let's hope to see it implemented.

We will look to add various summaries like this in the future.

With the play by play coming up, you will know which plays are the scoring plays because the "runs" for the team that scored turn red on the scoring plays.

But we understand how JUST scoring plays are an interesting view as well.

Thank you.

Pitch by Pitch question- why am I seeing "substitution" on several pitches when no change was made. Is that when I've used "undo"?

I just looked and I am on version 1.60. How do you upgrade to 1.65? Do I have to play the $4.99 again?

This is a patch release, not the full 1.70 release we are working on.

It was an unplanned release to address a few issues people had (mostly with the Fielder's Choice on a runner). We decided enough people were effected that it warranted a release. We threw in a few new features as well:

• Fixed issue where Fielder's Choice on a runner causes scorecard to crash. Fielder's Choice is technically a play that should only be scored on a batter (and works fine when used that way). But we allowed Fielder's Choice to be assigned to Runners prior to this patch which caused the issue. We made it so it will no longer crash for anyone that scored a play that way, but also removed the option of Fielder's Choice for runners. (If you have this issue, and can not wait for version 1.65 release to view your scorecard, we can update your database if you export your database and email us your customer ID.)
• Fixed an issue similar to the one above where a Double Play is entered where the batter is not involved as one of the outs. This is actually a legitimate way to score a play, but could cause a crash when viewing stats.
• Scorecard fixes - if a user marked a runner as safe on a base they were already on, it was replacing how they got there. Changed unassisted putout to "U3" instead of "3U" (3 being whatever position touched the ball), changed "SB" to "SH" for a sacrifice bunt where batter is safe, added "SAC" to scorecard when batter is out on a sacrifice bunt (make it clear what took place), fixed issue where scorecard would sometimes show player's first appearance in a game as being in the first inning even if they came in the game later.
• Fixed issue in Game Manager where in some situations, the "list view" of games would not show the correct final score (or even that the game was finished with the "F" indicator). When you view the game details, it showed the correct results, and all stats would be correct, but the list sometimes would not.
• Added "ERG" - Earned Runs per Game as a pitching stat. For people that play 9 inning games, this is the same as ERA, but we had many requests for an "ERA-like" number for different numbers of innings for shorter games. This stat will use the # of innings you entered for a game to determine the ERG for a pitcher.
• Runner "Hit by Ball" now works
• Added the ability to edit the start/end time for games from Game Manager. This allows entering of games after they have been played, and still getting the sort order correct.
• And last but certainly not least, a great new feature that was intended for 1.70, but is being included early, a full "Pitch by Pitch game summary" can be viewed from within game manager. A screenshot of this is shown below. It is going to be the basis for editing games in the upcoming 1.70 release, but it has enough use just for reviewing games that we decided to introduce it now even without the editing capability. You can see what took place on each pitch of the game, including the location of the pitch for people that track it, so you can see the ball location of key hits, key plays, etc. This can be very helpful for reviewing old games as reading the details of the game jogs the memory in ways that viewing the scorebook does not. As noted, in version 1.70, you will be able to click a play in this view and make some basic changes to correct errors that may have been made while doing your scorekeeping.

Upgrades are free. If you connect to the App Store, it should say an update is available and will download it for free.

If that does not happen for you, if you go to the App Store and click the "Buy" icon, when you enter your password, it will recognize that you have already purchased a previous version and will upgrade you without requiring a payment.

Thank you.
