It can get a little complicated, but we end up with a ton of useful data, and it's worked well in more or less this form for a while (we switched from iPads to Nexus 7s last year and never looked back).

We do the same thing, but we don't have the scouting budget for team-owned tablets. Instead, team members install the app on their devices, or, if they have an iPhone, they use an old Galaxy S3 we rescued from electronics recycling. It's a logistical nightmare getting all the data together, but it works and it saves a lot of money.
