This would be very helpful for situations where not all the devices used for scouting are identical, the biggest pitfall to this, that I see, is that the sheet would have to be set up to not overwrite data from multiple devices, basically make sure that any data entry is specified to match number and team number so that *hopefully* nothing is overwritten with data from another device when they the sheet syncs all the data from all the devices when they do get a chance to access the internet.

I realize that many teams looking at this kind of scouting app would be using team-owned devices for this purpose, but we don't have budget for something like that, however almost all our students have smartphones and for those who do not, we do have a few team laptops.

Even without the ability suggested above I really like how this app is looking and I look forward to checking it out for the 2017 season.

Google Sheets input is supported on multiple devices to the same spreadsheet. It's additive, so no data is replaced or overwritten. It does require an Internet connection but you can use Bluetooth to transfer data from disconnected devices to a Sheets-enabled "master device" automatically, which my team has used.

It's not a "sync" so much as a "send".

You have full control over what you do with your spreadsheet.
