Cheat Sheet for a digital scorecard app I’m developing for Apple Pencil. Would love your feedback!
With all the scorecard formats out there, I wanted to create something that brings the best parts of many formats together, but also offer simple options - something crucial in the age of pitch clock, where the game moves faster than it ever has. These are the two formats I’ve settled on, and I would greatly appreciate this community’s feedback on the ones I’ve chosen. I wanted the cheat sheet to serve as a guide for the sample scorecards that will come bundled with the app, and also help educate new scorekeepers about the basics of scorekeeping.
About the app: I am planning to soft launch the app during the offseason for testing, with a hard launch targeting the start of Spring Training (I really hope we have a 2027 season). The app will have tiered subscriptions with various features at each level, including an in-app calendar where scorecards and events can be linked together - with full-season schedules for every MLB and college baseball team. Various versions will also include real time drawing stats, PDF/image export, printing, cloud storage & back-up, additional stationery for notes, and X-ray mode where the entire scorecard inverts black & white for dark environments. It also uses all the Apple Pencil features like double-tap, squeeze menu, snap-to perfect shapes, stickers, and more. Future plans include scorecards and calendars for multiple sports (NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLS, NHL, Olympics, etc.), plus non-sports games like Yahtzee, Boggle, and more.
Thanks in advance for your feedback! I really want to tailor this app to, and help build, a better digital scorekeeping community, while also keeping things old-school and analog - the way we like it. Cheers!
