-An option to export the data to excel! This way, if teams do have custom data, they can track it on their own, and add it to excel later. Plus, everyone has excel and it runs on multiple platforms, so people could share the data at the strategy meeting without everyone needing an ipad with the app downloaded.
Overall, amazing work! I can tell you put a lot of time into this, and it sure paid off!

I can add those features in for data collection, but I believe it would require the user to delete and reinstall the app after the update. With the Core Data API I'm using for storage, I don't think it allows me to change saved properties and still work.
I initially didn't think that missing the truss and fumbles would be necessary (and I did think about them), but after watching week 1 regionals, it really surprised me how often teams couldn't shoot the ball over an extremely wide target and I believe more so now that it is important data to capture.
The scouts can always add the the custom data in as notes (ie. the truss misses and ball handling and such), but do you think it's worth erasing the app's contents to get those requested features in?
Also, as for excel integration, I totally agree with you. I'm working on getting it set up to host a local URL and then display a .csv text that could be copied and pasted into excel, or possibly going a bluetooth file transfer route, but those two methods are entirely new to me, so it may or may not be out before this season is over.
I really appreciate the positive feedback and I LOVE that you enjoy the app. Please spread the word and I will continue to work on updates.
I am also a little behind on school work right now, so I gotta get that taken care of, but I have spring break coming up, so who knows? I may just get that .csv thing figured out!
Also, finally, there should be a bug fix update coming out in the next couple days (version 1.0.1) that fixes several crashes and labels that weren't updating correctly. There will also be more tutorial videos being posted a few days from now once I dig myself out of school work as well.
Hang tight FRC Scouts! I'm still working for you!
