Announcing the Baseball Score Tracker

5/18/2018

For the past month or so, I've been tagging along with my wife to watch my daughter and my nephews play softball, baseball, and t-ball. The scoreboard at these games were not even being used, leaving me to try to track it myself. Eventualy I downloaded several apps from the Google play store to track the scores.

As with everything else, none of the apps I downloaded presented me with all the features that I wanted. Heck, one feature wasn't present in any of the apps I tested.

Some of the apps would only allow me to track the scores and nothing else. Other apps attempted to track everything, but didn't provide automatic progression. Others just weren't configurable enough.

Absolutely none of the dozen or so apps I tested had any options to limit a team to a certain number of runs per inning. Apparently many little league games have this limit, but none of the scoring apps provided support for it.

Naturally, I wanted something better, so I sat down one night and hammered out the code for my own Baseball Score Tracker. I carefully slapped in every feature that I wanted, even claiming features from other apps that already existed. The end result is a scoring app that is highly configurable and extremely useable in all baseball type games.

Here I'll briefly go over some of the many features that are provided in the Baseball Score Tracker:

• Set the teams. - You set the name for each team. You also get to set the foreground and background colors for each team. Simple slider controls provide you the ability to select any color in the spectrum.
• Automatic progression and resets - A third out automatically increments the inning and resets the balls and strikes. Three strikes automatically resets the balls and adds an out.
• Run Limits per Inning - You have the option of turning on run limits per inning. Once a team has earned that many runs in an inning, the inning is progressed and the balls and strikes are reset.
• Point Reversal - We're all human, and humans make mistakes. When you do, just press on a score for a bit and when you release the score will be decremented.
• Choose what to track - Balls aren't counted in T-Ball, and you may not feel like tracking strikes. Heck, you might only want to track the score and the innings. All of these are possible, just turn those buttons off in the options menu.
• Adjustable long tap - We use long taps to decrement scores, but if you feel like it takes too long, or too short, you can adjust the delay in the options menu.

Buy the Baseball Score Tracker from the Google Play Store today. Don't want to spend the $1.00 to buy it, that's ok.
