For scouting, I've written my own app for our team. It's primarily used for alliance selection. I'm able to sort my teams, pull data, get expected match outcomes, look up individual teams, generate the bracket based on the alliance selections (I'm able to input/change them quickly on the spot), pull up a match list, and sort teams by fields.

The app is moving forward quickly, but it currently private to only our team. It'll eventually go public though, once more bugs get worked out.

All the data is put in via an exported CSV file from our Excel database we run. You need to drop the data into the app though iTunes, but it's the best way to do it, due to the wifi/bluetooth restrictions at the events. If you already have an Excel database with all the data, use what you've got.

My best advice, being an Apple developer, would be to look over public source code. Reading Apple's docs is dry, and there are a lot of good examples out there.
