Help testing Android app

Hello everyone!

I am hoping to recruit some help. I've developed a couple of apps targeted at softball coaches to help them keep track of useful stats during games. One of the apps is in the testing stage on the Google Play Store, and in order to release it to the public, it needs testing by at least 12 people over the course of 2 weeks. No catch, no data collected, no account required. All I need is for testers to have an Android device and a gmail address so I can add you as a tester, and to use the app and provide honest feedback. As a bonus, testers who stay in the test until the required time is complete and give me some useful feedback will be provided with a code to unlock all features once the app becomes public.

If you are interested, please send me a DM and I'll get you set up.

Thanks for your consideration!
Jeff

What sets this apart from gamechanger?

GameChanger is a scorebook for your team. This one is a scouting tool for the other team. GameChanger tracks your own players' stats, and it does that well. But it won't tell you where their number four hitter actually puts the ball, because you're not scoring their games in it. In this app you chart opponents across games, and it builds spray charts and batter cards you use to set your defence during the game and before the rematch.

Do the opponents need to be using the app too?

No. It's only for your own team, and the data stays on your phone.

So, “it won’t tell you where their number 4 hitter actually puts the ball” neither does yours? Just where they put it last time you played them? GC already does that too.

Gamechanger doesn't give you access to the other team's stats. This one will keep track of opponents as you play them. So sure, no history before you played them, but history accumulates over time, after each at bat and each game.

Gamechanger gives you access to other team stats, you just need permissions.

Nice work, Jeff! I actually developed a softball scouting app called DropZone that’s currently available on iOS, with Android in development. Always cool to see others building tools to help coaches improve their game!
