Cool iPhone App for Gymnastics Meets

Posted on 14. May, 2009 by Kathe Jones in Gymnastics Business

If you have an iPhone, you know how addictive and fun the app store can be. But there hasn’t been anything in the gymnastics world that we can use to justify playing with working on our iPhones.

Someone has finally come out with a gymnastics app that actually tracks and totals scores for both teams and individual gymnasts – Gymnastics Meet Tracker.

So, instead of spending half the meet recording and calculating scores in the back of your program, you can quickly input the scores into the app and it will do all the work for you. You can even track scores for the whole season and create bar charts to track your child’s progress.

I think the best thing about this app is that it doesn’t require Internet access to work, meaning you don’t have to depend on an external website. However, if you have data access, you can actually email your score tallies – a nice feature for absent family and friends.

It’s fairly easy to use and much simpler than inputting stats into Excel or complicated spreadsheet programs. It also works on the iPod Touch if you’re not ready to make the leap to the iPhone.

Blackberry and Android phone owners: sorry, it doesn’t look like a gymnastics app has been created yet for your phones. However, you could try MeetScore, a free Excel-based score sheet that may run on your phone if you have basic office apps installed.
