Equal Lineup Baseball for Android
There are several programming issues. For example, very first game it will have someone playing the same position 2 innings in a row while 1/2 the team hasnt played that position. Additionally, there are other program errors such as leaving a position open/empty while having an extra player on the bench. Definitely needs to have the program corrected. It is somewhat helpful though.
Great app, easily let's you get equal playing time for your players. Even if you have a few positions that you don't want certain kids playing for safety reasons, or skill level you can assign specific positions. Options for 9 or 10 players and rovers. I had an issue and contacted developer via email, quick response and a resolution within a short time. I'm a fan and recommend it to every coach out there struggling to put a rotating lineup together.
WELL worth the $2. Makes my life as a Little League Manager much easier. With this app I don't have to worry about remembering who played where and how much time each kid is getting in a position. The report tool is awesome! I'm still a new user so I will keep updating my review to reflect my opinion the more I use it. It would be a nice addition is the report tool exported as a pdf.
It does what I need it to do. However, there are a couple of things that would make it even better. First, it would be nice to set the batting order and view the inning based on the batting order. Second, it would be great if you could view the data without having to send yourself an email. Viewing it within the app would make it very nice.
App only emails roster and lineup as html. Does not send pdf.
This is exactly what I needed for tball. I only wish I could add batting order.
Perfect for rotating young players by inning, easy to add or remove positions, and place players on absent to remove them from rotation. Great app to ensure all kids get equal play at the positions they want to play
This is not just for T ball, but for all levels of baseball that concentrate on instruction rather than pure competitiveness. The reason I purchased this was because of the interaction between the reviewers and the developer, so I would like to make a couple suggestions. Uniform numbers for players. A 'notes' field per player (Nickname, Left-hand/right-hand throwing/batting etc... and a free-form text field). Pitch and inning counts (Little League International requires us to track this) Great app, thanks.
Purchased but needs one mod. to make this a killer app against others. While there is an "equal time" feature from inning to inning, it is not truly equal: most players get almost equal outfield positions yet not all will get equal infield pos's. It needs an "AUTO ROTATION" feature that simply advances the player one position forward each inning. This will ensure all players advance perfectly equal through multiple games keeping players (& parents) happy. Otherwise, other apps work as well, for free.
This is my second season using the app. I should have left a review last year, but I'm lazy. Recently I had a question about the app and the developer was so responsive I realized I owed him a review! If you have 12 or more players on your roster and only 9/10 positions on the field, figuring out an equitable way to sit kids out is very hard to do. This app makes all those decisions for you, allowing you to quickly create a line up that gets everyone participating in an equal fashion. When I first started using the app I was worried that the "equal-time" randomization of assigning field positions would lead to lineups that I just couldn't rationalize as a coach. I want everyone to get equal playing time, but we all know it isn't smart to put a kid at first base if he has a habit of running away from balls thrown at him. This app lets you quickly work around those kinds of situations by allowing you to easily assign a few key positions each inning, and then with just a click, everything else fills in, fairly. Create/send/print the completed lineup, tape it to the dugout wall and watch your 1st - 5th graders fly out to the right position every inning. 5 Stars!!
Disregard my last rating. This was a minor glitch that was fixed. Great customer service! Thanks for all your help. This app is perfect for my t ball team.
Just what I was looking for. Agree with other reviews needed a graphical representation of the fielders.
Very helpful. Needs a sync option for multiple devices though. Would also be nice if you could edit the batting order within a game after positions have been added.
This app is awesome saves so much time and makes the player position rotation so much simpler! Thanks for a great app!
This is perfect for my daughters t-ball team. I love the email statistics feature.
Easy to manage my team's lineup! Looking forward to more features.

Please add an option to create several different rosters, at least 3 or 4. My daughter plays in 2 softball teams and son in 3 baseball teams(travel plus Highschool), and my roster is a mess, hard to find the names I need. Thanks.
