Inside our iPad App (1 Viewer)

Looks excellent.

Put me in the camp that says you should leave the layout the way it is...very clean, simple and easy to find everything.

It has to be able to store all info from the last connection to the internet while offline at a draft i would think. If not thats a major problem because wifi can be shaky in places.

Glad to hear you built it with an eye towards having an Android version out quickly as well. Do you mind me asking if your team used something like PhoneGap to build the app, or was it custom built for each platform? (and the rational behind the decision if you have it.) Curious purely from a development standpoint, as I work in this industry.

As for offline use, that is absolutely vital that an app such as this use offline storage or the local database to cache the data so it can be used in places with low or no Internet access. I could see limiting the amount of data available, to keep within the storage limits of the tablets, but basic rankings and a paragraph about each player (the things likely to be needed in an app for draft day) shouldn't take up enough space to be worrisome from a technical limitation standpoint. I know the last live draft I was at, we did it at a BW3 and we dropped Internet a few times on the laptop we were using for the draft (thankfully, I was using DraftDominator to perform/store the draft, so it only impact my research, not the ability to continue the draft, plus we had the sticker board going.)

Any update on the offline cache?

Also, I just poked around the draft dominator for the first time ever. I can see why people love it. What are the differences between using this ipad app and the DD on draft day? I plan to take the ipad to the drafts, so I want to figure out what to use the DD for strategy-wise pre-draft and how I will be using this app at the draft itself. Will it let me input the draft and give me the BPA according to my roster and scoring systems etc.?

Is the Magazine App out yet?

 

[notdarkyet]

Is draft mode similar to draft dominator?

Cannot wait for the Android version. You guys rock.

Any ETA on when this will hit the Apple app store?

ETA bump

It's time to start studying some football!

Are we looking at days? week? MONTHS?

 

[Jojo the circus boy]

does it support multiple leagues? (i.e. change roster for 3 different teams/league scoring)

 

[ponchsox]

Anyone know when this will be available?

 

[butcher boy]

Anyone know when this will be available?

I dont think anyone does. Apple has its own process for approving apps and once it's approved, it gets released. I'm pretty sure that's still how it works. Of course, if Apple rejects the app, then it could take a while longer. FBG could have set the option to have a set release date, but I'm thinking they would have advertised it if they had.

 

[Incogneto]

yeah. Methinks this is a sore spot with everyone at FBGs. I mean, I just received my FFI, and they had an ad for it in there. That makes me think they wanted it to be in the app store by now.

Every day it isn't in there is another dollar they are missing out on.

Hi sox,Hang on as the plan is to have some word today for you. It's a pretty big change from where we started off with this thing and I think it's one folks are going to really like. Hang tight.J

Throwing out another item for the wish list for future versions:

Add support for rookie drafts (including IDP) and associated rankings.
