Game scheduled start date

[Marco Rocci]

I have been trying iScore out. I've been using some old games scoresheets I had.

I was wondering... there must be an easier way to set a date back to 2004 or 2007, other than scrolling through 5+ years of days, right? I am a real newbie to iOS, so I suppose there is just something silly I am missing. But I ask, because I would really love to load on iScore at least a year of two of my team's scoresheets, so I'll need how to do this.

TIA and regards,

Oops that is a problem,
(iPhone/iPad centric issue I think...)

A odd workaround if you have a number of old year entries to make.. You can temporarily change the phones system date in general settings ( the master time settings, does have a year wheel), when iscore starts it reads the default date ....

Thanks... I should have thought of that from the old DOS days when resetting the system date was a daily habit.

We use the standard iOS date/time picker. Apple has 3 modes --- Time Picker, Date Picker, and Date+Time Picker. We use the Date+Time picker because games have a time associated with them. This picker does not include a year. If Apple ever changes that, then iScore will automatically allow year selection.

Maybe they will add a shortcut to jump forward/back a year (or maybe one even exists that we just aren't aware of)... but it is an Apple control, not an iScore control.

I am a developer, and I was expecting a similar answer... it does look like a very standard control. I was really hoping there was something obvious I was missing.

Still in many real world apps inputing old dates is not a very uncommon chore. I'll just have to add this to the list of reasons why I don't consider iOS a desirable OS for productivity purposes.
