[NSRCA-discussion] PatternScoring App (Electronic scribe) is now LIVE on the iOS app store!

[Ronald Van Putte]

Yep.  I witnessed its success at the Crowley, LA contest.  Peter was there, along with 46 contestants and everyone who walked off the flightline was greeted by Peter with the scoresheet, which had already been posted to the internet.  Very impressive.

Last Monday I finally decided it was time to submit the app formally to the app store rather than relying on development loads to individual iPod touches or TestFlight 30-day conk beta loads for my friends in Australia who have been experimenting with the app.  As more districts reach out to me with orders for fully configured setups I wanted to make sure I had a path to get software updates out to devices in a timely manner.

Naturally the intent is to use it with a game controller, but the buttons on the screen with the picture of the game controller do work to give you a flavor for how things work.

D8 just bought one, and D7 has bought two. If any other districts have an interest in getting one or more sets, please contact me directly and we can make appropriate arrangements.  Please make sure you have one or more people in the district who are willing and able to take on the running of scoring at a contest using the system.  I'm making continuous refinements to the system to make it easier for anyone to run scoring, but it does require a certain level of comfort and familiarity with technology in general.
