The one problem is, it requires a reliable wifi connection to work. I was wondering if there were other ways to scout electronically without having to rely on wifi. I have been talking with one of my mentors and have come up with some ideas. 1. Having a portable server that we can wire the phones into (would require making an app that doesn't need wifi). 2. Having the phones connected to a laptop via Bluetooth. If someone could help me build an app (in LabVIEW preferably) that could connect to a server (would also need to find a server that would work with the app) I would greatly ly appreciate it.

We've posted our scouting white paper in at least 3 threads this year alone. Search for my posts if need be.
We use a system that combines Bluetooth and cell connections and avoid WiFi. We scout on tablets.
