Did you consider having to keep up with the changes in operating systems, hardware and other compatbility issues? It is never as simple as it seems, especially in the IT world.

Perhaps for the litany of fractured Android OS, but not for iOS.

The point still remains...they sell it to MAKE MONEY and fund their operations. It is their primary source of revenue.

I hope they use the $6 to keep enhancing the app. I would like to see them add a checkbox so that I could check off cases that I have read.

Another idea would be to add additional pictures some cases or court diagrams.

This is the wave of the future and I plan on starting to bring my iPAD to games with me to use for notes, contact information, rule books, etc.

Anybody know of a good app that would have a court diagram that could be use for pre-game or even a pre-game checklist they use that's digital?

I have iplaybook on my iPad. It was free...and has icons to represent officials. I installed it a few months ago, but now that basketball season is here, I am not planning to bring the iPad to games. I don't really trust the security in many of the locker rooms.

Pay the $6 and hush.
