Agility record keeping app on iPhone
Dog Agility iLog | More than just a record book!
I am curious if anyone here is using this app or not. Anyone? I'm considering writing such an app for the andriod system, but haven't made up my mind yet.

You should go ahead and see how it looks! Since I constantly lose track of the legs/scores/levels............ I need the App PLUS a human to keep track for me!

I was more interested if anyone had any personal experience with the app I mentioned. From a user interface perspective (I'm a UI software engineer) there are some oddities. I wondered if people liked or disliked them... I might go ahead with the app. Andriod uses Java, and while I write in C#, I took Java classes in college. They are very similar languages.

[EDIT]- here's an app that allows you to print photos directly to a wireless HP printer. Sweet! There is potential here! http://www.androlib.com/android.appl...int-jmCzx.aspx

Don't know how technical you are, BlackPuppy, but did you notice the simplicity in the architecture of that app I linked to. It's nothing more than a "dog record" that is associated to an "event record." Talk about basic...
I don't see any reason that you couldn't have defined event record types such that you could add an agility event, SchH event, rally event, whatever you want. In the end- it's nothing more than data. There isn't a crazy UI or anything here... Hmmm you guys are inspiring me a bit. Too bad I have so little time to play around with this. [EDIT]- and even cooler- I don't see any reason that you couldn't allow the user to create their own event type to be reused...

The only issue I have, and the reason I started this thread in the first place- I can't imagine anyone would actually want to do data entry on their phone... Would you guys really want to stand there at the results table entering rows of data? That's specifically the area I see this sort of thing falling flat.

Good point on the data entry. I took my Ipod Touch to use as a computer in Europe. It was annoying to type on it. I'm not used to texting or anything like that. Though, I was getting pretty fast on it towards the end. Just not as fast as having a nice keyboard.
