Android Update!
I had been getting some complaints for a while now about new devices with the latest versions of Android not being able to edit or enter any data on their devices. I also had a short list of issues that were plaguing android users in general that I thought best to take care of. It took me a little while to get but it is here now.
Let me know if I missed anything!
Android changes include:
- Support for Android Back Button.
- App no longer crashes on older versions when changing screen orientation.
- Splash screen delay was reduced significantly
- Data entry should no longer be prohibited to newer android devices.
IDPA 2012 South Mountain Showdown
I just got home from the the IDPA Arizona Regional Sanctioned Match, The South Mountain Showdown. What a great match! It was only 8 stages (9 if you count the chrono/equipment check stage) but what it lacked in quantity it easily made up for in quality. The match had several challenging stages and I really enjoyed myself.
The Match Director Bill Barron and The assistant Match Director Eric VanHaaster did a stellar job and had scores posted in record time. For me that was really refreshing considering that I started IDPAScore out of pure frustration over the delay in scores being posted. I will surely be shooting the South Mountain Showdown again.
IDPAScore was able to put up several free downloads on the prize table and all-in-all got a great response from the shooters who hadn’t seen the app before and to my surprise some already had!
Back to the match.. I had a great squad and got to shoot with some people I had shot with before as well as met some new people. Shouts out to Adam, Hez, Jerry, Jacques and the rest of Squad 1. Here are a couple of videos of me shooting the match: (Thanks for filming Jacques)

2012 South Mountain Showdown – Stage 2
The SO’s in the second video, Toran and Sarah Maynard, are friends of mine and are rockin the stylish IDPAScore T-shirts. These guys run our local club match and Toran is the one who certified me as an SO (I’m certifiable!). Toran will MD the upcoming 2013 NM State Championship which will be held in Albuquerque, NM later in the year. I can’t say enough good stuff about these two. Thanks for your support guys!
Here are the results for the South Mountain Showdown. I placed 6th in SSP Expert.
Youtube Review
Here is another video off youtube. The director and star of the video actually emailed me and let me know he would be doing this video. He asked and I gave him the app for free. I only asked that he was fair and accurate in his review.
BigDawgBeav did indeed give me a fair review… (not all good) but in the end shelled out the cash and bought the app! Class act BigDawgBeav! Thanks for your support.
Make sure you check out his youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/BigDawgBeav
IDPA Score in the wild…
I was searching google today for “IDPA Score” and I ran into a review on YouTube. Check it out! We are happy to see IDPA Score being used in the wild and appreciate any and all feedback.
Also… the reviewer might like to know that I am currently working on a version that runs and scores a whole match and tracks all the shooters on the fly, it will come as a free upgrade to this app. The functionality will come in stages but ultimately I would like to make a site to host and share shooters scores.
The motivation behind writing this software was specifically in response to the time it takes to see results when participating in a club or sanctioned level match.
Live on Android!
Getting onto Google Play (android) was a snapp. Here is the link!
Tomorrow is the 2012 NM State IDPA Championship! Looking forward to shooting it! See you at the match!

Thanks to the Apple Review Team this app has been approved in record time. I’ve read plenty of horror stories about apps taking forever to get through the review process but that is certainly not what happened in our case.
You can see from the times below that it only took 2 business days to get approved!

Waiting For Review
We are still working hard to get the Google Play ( android ) version up and ready for purchase as soon as possible. Stay tuned.
iTunes approved the Expedite request!
It seems that Apple really does attempt to accomodate everyone. I’m sure this app is small beans for the Apple App review team and so I am truly thankful that they were able to approve this request and potentially even get the app live before the upcoming NM state competition which will be the introduction of IDPA Score to the general public.
Thank You Apple App Review Team!
Here is what they wrote me:
Thank your for contacting the App Review Team.
We understand that situations arise which require an exceptional response, however, we have received multiple expedite requests from you within a short period of time.
We have made an additional exception for your app and will proceed with an expedited review. We wanted to remind you, however, that expedited reviews are provided on a limited basis, otherwise the process itself becomes ineffective. Please keep in mind that we may not be able to accommodate additional requests in the future.
Best Regards,
App Review Team
