Anyways, just for fun, I'd like to guess what the percentages for smart phone use is here at NFBC...maybe greg would be willing to do a poll on what different people at NFBC use. I'm guessing guys like Dave Potts uses a Droid, guys like MTM uses an iPhone and guys like Kenyon a dumb phone, with overall ratios being something like 40% 30% and 30% respectively. Any other guesses?
I think someone already beat me to a poll on this!! ;)

And more importantly, I'm glad folks are enjoying the app. The thread went off in a different direction than anticipated, but it's all been in good fun. Once KJ sees this app hopefully he agrees that it's a nice addition for NFBC owners. That's the goal of this: To make this game more enjoyable and your "jobs" much easier. I think being able to make a lineup change on your phone at any point in the day is a big, big, big help for our customers. And with each new innovation, STATS continues to improve the game experience for our customers. Next up: improvements to the live experience.

Why are iPhone apps usually done first? For all of the obvious reasons, but also because the approval process usually takes so long. I can say that in our case it was probably only 3-4 working days, which surprised us. We expected up to two weeks to get this approved. I would expect the Android app to be done and approved soon as well. And then I really expect to see this thread changed in a different direction. :mrgreen:

The program must not be working right..... I loaded it yesterday and from what I can tell something is wrong. It shows Wainwright losing to the Mets. I know that can't be right....

Other than that, cool beans. Very happy to have it loaded to my I-Phone and I-Pad. What's an android??? :ugeek:

That's the kind of cult group-think brainwashing that keeps me from ever buying an apple product.

I think you're late for your shift ...

Both apps, for Android and iPhone should have been made available at the same time, if it was only going to be a short period of time between availability .. my 2 cents.

Nice App Greg, I'm not sure what category I fall into with my iphone.
Joe, demographically, you're a rich, liberal, fashion-forward white girl from the northeast who hangs out at starbucks. :shock:
I think I met that girl tonight... no wait, it was Dunkin Donuts, and she had a droid... :D

I probably should have created a new thread for this, but it was easier to add to this one!! :lol:

Just a reminder to all new NFBC members that we do have an iPhone and an Android app to follow Live Scoring and to make Lineup Changes. It's a nice app, so just go to the Apple App page and Search for NFBC. It's FREE to all NFBC members and it's easy to download.

You'll like it. And the Android app is available as well.

Hope this helps and feel free to post any feedback for upgrades or anything else. We're always looking to improve this.

Hi greg. I use all the time as I like the speed. here are 3 ideas for minor improvements:

1. Show bench players stats under live scoring
2. When you set lineups show the weeks starts
3. For historical stats default (or make extremely easy to select) to show yesterday's stats (now it only show the entire weeks).

Thanks!
Chris

Greg,

I like how we can organize the order of our teams using the "manage teams" link on the web site. Can we get this feature added for the app?
