Lightbulb Scouting the Scouting Apps

I've seen a number of posts on various scouting apps/systems that teams have made (thank you!), and was wondering if anyone has done some sort of comparison on the different systems? I'm imagining a spreadsheet or similar with some key parameters:
  • Scout App Platform (Android/iOS, etc)
  • Server Required?
  • Server Platform (Android/iOS/Windows, etc)
  • Connectivity Method
  • Built In Scouting Criteria
  • Flexible System to Allow Team Defined Scouting Attributes
  • Picture Capable?
  • Match Score Capable?
  • Interfaces to Any FRC Databases for Data (TheBlueAlliance, etc)
  • Up to date and Method for Updating
  • Whatever other key criteria are helpful - feel free to add more bullets...

Different teams want and need different ways of scouting, so I wanted to have a single comparison point for what's available today. I can run around the internet and gather some of that data, but I didn't design the apps and don't want to publish the wrong info.

So, if anyone else wants to contribute the characteristics of what they have done (or a system they have used) and respond here that would be helpful and I will post a spreadsheet comparing the various systems.

And - please feel free to post or send a link to your favorite system, I may not find them all in my searches!
