Score is Correct – XC Score Review

October 26, 2013 I can confirm that the scoring is perfectly accurate. The places shown are the raw results, but when scoring you need to take out runners 8+ and all runners whose team had fewer than 5 finishers. When you score it is as if those runners did not finish. Thus any runners who finished after them get a lower scoring place. I tested several scenarios and in each case this app was correct. I gave 5 stars for accuracy and because the e-mail function worked better than I had expected, dropping both team and individual results into nicely formatted tables. It also attached a CSV file for importing into a spreadsheet! On the iPhone 5 I can see 6 teams without scrolling. Ideas to improve: 1. A fast way to undo a mistaken entry. An undo button or a '-' button or even a rigorous shake of the phone with visual confirmation. 2. A short vibrate and a short beep when tapping during the race. 3. Greater visual feedback on a tap. For runners 8+ there is very little feedback. You could show the raw place number at the top? 4. Ability to configure the team colors during setup so the buttons are color coded. Team logos would be cool but probably overkill! ;-) 5. iPad version where the buttons to tap are large-ish squares, but you can get more on the screen. Agree that a phone is easier to carry during a meet. iPad mini? A great app. I can definitely recommend.
