JThompson Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I don't see where it would save money as those phones are 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 If you don't have an iPhone then buying one for scoring would not make sense. If you already have an iPhone then getting some software to do the scoring does make sense. I know there is an APP for a shot-timer function for the iPhone but I have not seen one with scoring software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead slinger Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Just downloaded the app for the iphone. Going to check it out on sunday to see if it is accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninefan Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 No need for an iPhone. An iPod touch would do the trick if you did the score uploading via WiFi. Might be pretty cool, but the infrared beaming capabilities of the palm (to printers, etc) gives the palm platform the edge I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An iPod touch would do the trick if you did the score uploading via WiFi.Might be pretty cool, but the infrared beaming capabilities of the palm (to printers, etc) gives the palm platform the edge I think. ideally, you could incorporate the shot timer or ability of it into the scoring app. - and after you're done scoring (if it had cell signal) it could immediately process and upload the results to a server. if no cell signal, then potentially wifi. an ipod touch would work too, except it doesnt have a built in microphone. there is an attachment out, but i'd be concerned about having something plugged into the iphone on the range. There are some really nice cases for the phone that can keep it protected pretty well while it's outside and on the range. heck, the iphone could even take pictures of the targets for later review.

HSMITH Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Timer works good on mine, sensitivity adjustment is a bit tricky to get tuned right but that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironb Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Timer works good on mine, sensitivity adjustment is a bit tricky to get tuned right but that is all. yeah, it worked okay at the range, but the darn "Beep" sound is just waaay too quiet. but it does work rather well. the sens adj worked well too.

chizzle Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Has anybody tried the Iphone / Ipod Touch application on Saul Kirsch's website: http://www.doublealpha.biz/daa-iphone-applications/ipscore-ipsc-scoring-application?osCsid=a19a017a0e73853129c0d22ddd2f28bd This seems like the future of USPSA scoring. I can imagine a range with Wifi, RO's with Ipod Touches (or Ipads) and entering the data in real time (no more syncing Palm Pilots). If anybody is trying this already, I'd really love to hear their input. This seems like a great idea, and a way that shooters could throw in a few dollars per match in an effort to get quicker feedback. anyone see anything out there for this? i've been thinking about developing this to make match scoring easier.

doublealpha Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 CHizzle, we now offer a free app version you can try. It is limited to 2 stages and two shooters, not like the full version, but has all the features to test. give it a try. Saul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tptplayer Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 How did the timer work out? Was it accurate? I've forgotten my timer a couple of times and had to use the Iphone app. Either I consistently shoot either .19 splits or .27 splits with nothing in between or it is not completely accurate. It is great for dry fire when you are traveling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chizzle Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Saul, Can you answer the following about IPScore? 1) Can you load a shooter database onto multiple devices (i.e. you create a shooter onto one device and then copy onto others)? 2) Does it export to WinScore? These are the 2 items that our scorekeepers brought up, that they really want to see with any electronic scoring method. Sincerely, Chuck CHizzle, we now offer a free app version you can try. It is limited to 2 stages and two shooters, not like the full version, but has all the features to test. give it a try. Saul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayetteflash Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Any news on the connection with ezwinscore? Looks like a great app, but wouldn't make much sense if we have to reenter everything. Having a shooter db would be really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayetteflash Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I just played with the lite version. Decent start. For that kind of cash, it definitely needs to do more. Key needed features: - overall match and stage results. All divisions combined - click on individual in results shows detail - score per target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyroWebs Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Kind of reviving an old thread, but I was wondering today why haven't we seen an Iphone/Ipod Touch app for scoring that will import into ezwinscore? (or even an android version?!?) It seems weird that we have all sorts of great technology available, yet the only electronic method of scoring (that I am aware of) is the palm version. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? +1. For that matter, even if someone can't make a phone app that will export to ezwinscore, how about an update to exwinscore than can read the AA file?

TaterHead Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) I think the real issue here is just economics. The phones are expensive, the Palms are not. Yes, Palm is out of production, but refurbished units can be obtained at a fraction of the cost of a phone. Then there is the issue of needing a number of devices for any given match, and the cost of the phone contract itself. I don't know of a club that can afford all those costs. Yes, Palm is no longer in production, but they are still way affordable and available. The reason the software has not been created for phones is that the hardware for the software is too expensive. Sometimes, cutting edge technology is not the best economic decision. Edited April 16, 2011 by TaterHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Doesn't have to be an iPhone. An iPod touch will do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
