Nice data entry, but awkward subs is a major flaw for our team

iscout is one of at least 5 apps with 4/5 star ratings which is no surprise since using an app is more fun and more complete than paper and pencil. The strengths of this app are easy scoring of major stats, OK editing and good reports/shot charts. Unfortunately, TRACKING SUBSTITUTIONS IS POORLY DESIGNED AND TOO SLOW. As the game is on, you must leave the main page, select who goes in and out and then go back to the main entry page. If the team plays at a fast pace and frequently subs more than one player, this turns out to be the the most annoying part of tracking all the stat. Even if you don’t care about playing time or advanced stats, you’d like to get the subs right to make all the other stats easier to track. I didn’t realize how important this step is until I started using this app. Prior to being deleted, the user forum had repeated requests/comments about subbing starting back in 2010. Unfortunately, the app updates mainly improve data sharing with partner websites. I hope I’m wrong, but it is hard to have any faith that the developers will improve the subbing problems. Time to look for an alternative.
