Has anybody tried using this?

Just downloaded it and will try it out tomorrow.
Accidentally downloaded iStat and WHOA what a mistake. After 2 hours I still couldn't make it work.

Tried the app last night. Have to say I really liked it. Very easy to keep track of everything. No more getting a pen out to record subs. Very intuitive. Very simple to handle subs, plus if there is ever a problem with the score, you have a complete record of who scored what points to compare with the official book. Only one problem. Holding Itouch in the hand makes it hard to mirror 4 hits. Very minor problem.

I've only had one other opportunity to use it, but did realize that any mistakes I encountered initially do seem to have been operator error. I really liked using it. Like Scott, I found that mirroring a four hit signal was tough, as was signaling zero timeouts. Maybe next time a quick drop into my pocket before using either of those signals might help. I did find tracking subs to be really easy. The only things I would put on my wish list would be to allow options to cap sets and to establish the length of the match, with the final set if needed to be set to 15 points. Perhaps it does this already for five set matches, but as all sub varsity in Indiana is best of three with caps, I would like to be able to establish that prior to the match.

Just tried it on my new Ipad - works fine....

Hi Guys,

I'm Dan, the developer of Volleyball Referee.. Just wanted to drop in and say Hi and thanks for the feedback.

If you have feature suggestions or complaints or whatever feel free to let me know... Ref has already evolved quite a bit based on the comments I've received over the last few months.

Cheers.

Would like to add a couple of points. First, Dan has fixed a bug with a new release that I experienced in my 9/23 post that apparently was not operator error after all, if you can believe that. Secondly, I sent him an email yesterday with a question and he responded within minutes with the answer. Very nice customer service!

Thanks Dan!

Apologies for resurrecting such an old topic but given that some of us may be looking at using this app for the upcoming HS season I wanted to throw this question out there.

In studying the rules in preparation for the upcoming season, I see that Rule 5, Sec 1, Art 2 states (in part):

..The use of replay, television monitoring, or any electronic equipment by the referees to make decisions related to the set is prohibited.

With this in mind, does this rule mean we CANNOT use our iPods or iPhones using this (or any other) app while we are working a match? After all, an iPod or iPhone is certainly an electronic device (which would suggest we cannot use these devices) but then I see the phrase to make decisions related to the set.

One could make the case this app is not used to make decisions anymore than my note card makes decisions. Has NFHS weighed in on uses such as this?

Thanks all.
