NFHS rules app for Iphone
I noticeded this App is now available for the I-Phone has anyone purchased this app?( even for Android) How do you like it?
Also is this an app that has to be purchased (like the Rule books) every year, or do you get the updates when they are available? Just asking because I would rather purchase this in the fall when the rule changes come out. Thanks Again:) |
I bought the one for baseball for my iPhone and I like it quite a bit. It is nice having the casebook and rulebook all in one place and when reading a particular rule, relevant cross reference material is provided and easy to access. Searching is also a breeze.
I have no idea about updates but my guess is it will be a yearly purchase. |

I don't understand the need for an app. Why can't one just put the PDF files on the iPhone and read/search them directly?
|
Very simple. Not every phone or tablet device is good with PDF files. Even on the computer PDF files can be a little difficult to navigate at times. This is much more of a problem on a phone or IPad in my experience.

I'd suggest that every device that can get an app as being discussed (iPhone or Android) is very likely able to deal quite well with a PDF. If not, get a different PDF reader app. |

Is anyone else irritated that it's $6 a pop for the publications? I pay .99 for apps that have hundreds of hours of development and programming invested in them. $6 would make it the second most expensive app on my phone.

Of course now every overbearing parent is going to have a copy of the rules on their i-phone during the HS season. We'll be pretending not to hear "Hey Ref, that's not how I read 41.2."

I really don't mind the 6 bucks, but it would be nice if updates were included. I pay for the rule and case books every other year.
I think I am going to try this app , but after the rule changes in the fall. |

So if someone likes the PDF version I am sure that is fine for those users. To me this is like any technology you buy or use, it is up to the people buying it to say if it is worth it. There are a lot of other things that cost much more than $6 that are not worth the paper it cost to use. Peace |

I Just Love Climbing That Volleyball Ladder ...
Quote:
I belong to the NFHS. I paid my $17.00 back in August, 2011. The problem is, the NFHS thinks I'm a volleyball official, and Arbiter knows that I'm a basketball official. Connecticut is a 100% IAABO state for basketball. IAABO officials don't usually belong to the NFHS. In regard to joining the NFHS, Connecticut is an "all or nothing state". Individuals can't join the NFHS. Stupid IAABO. Stupid NFHS. Stupid Arbiter. Stupid monkeys. |
I am afraid to ask.....but...

Just bought rules app..................deluxe!!
The ease of referencing rules and case plays makes it worth it, not to mention app suggests similar rules, caseplay sitches. It's awesome. May flash to coach as I'm blasting by him when he questions a ruling. It really is terrific. Great throne reading! |
Banned In Connecticut ...
Quote:
The only officials in Connecticut who are allowed to join the NFHS are those who belong to an organization where all the members in that particular organization join the NFHS together, all of them, together, getting their books, insurance, educational materials. etc. from the NFHS., for example, all the volleyball officials in Connecticut. Connecticut is 100% IAABO for basketball. IAABO members get books (NFHS rulebook, and casebook, IAABO mechanics manual), insurance, educational materials. etc. through IAABO, and, thus, have no need to join the NFHS. |

Billy,
I am still confused. If you pay for a service and you are not getting the service you pay for, why would that be allowed to not classify you properly? Could not pay for an account that has nothing to do with your normal Arbiter? It just sounds strange. Peace |
Hey Fullor
I hate to ask, but... Did the download mention anything about support or updates. I do not want to buy last year rule books cuz I have them already. So I guess I will just wait. Thanks for the responses to this post:) |

an expandable web version like the ones members can access this year, which is similiar to the app. The reason they won't have them in PDF is exactly what you stated above: members giving them to non-members. |
