BaraLabs updates popular iOS Volleyball scoring app

BaraLabs, a iOS development company, has just released an update to their popular iOS app, VBall ScoreMaster.

This app is targeted to parents, grandparents, and friends of club, college, high school, and middle school volleyball players. You can quickly keep score of games and send pre-formatted text notifications to anyone easily from within the app. But that's not all - the app is now free!

Version 3.0 adds new features including the ability to send Twitter and Facebook posts directly from the app. With this in-app purchase, users and send messages with 3 different formats: SMS text messages, Twitter, and Facebook, on all Apple i-devices, including the iPhone and iPad.

"Based on user feedback, I also redesigned parts of the app to make it even easier to use," said BaraLabs owner and app developer Frank Bara. "Users have been asking how they can notify their friends and family about the latest score and this update will cover all the bases."

The app was also updated to take advantage of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. "I developed the app because both my sons play volleyball at the club and school level," said Bara. "I noticed that usually the people keeping score at games were young players or volunteers who often wouldn't pay close attention to what was going on in the game." Bara also said, "I found myself constantly asking other parents if the score being shown was correct. I decided to make my own app with the features I used most."

Posting scores and screenshots to Twitter and Facebook lets parents and friends keep everyone updated with the latest scores and player achievements. Bara continued, "My wife would want to know how our boys were doing and I would end up missing the action because I was busy typing a text message to her. I built into the app the ability to quickly send a text message after an ace or spike; I don't even have to look at the screen, I just tap 'Send' and the message is done!" The app contains many features that parents, grand-parents, and friends of player can find helpful, and it's now free in the Apple App Store. Users who upgrade from the current version will get many of the new features for free.

Device requirements are iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, requires iOS 7.1 or later, 4.2 MB

VBall ScoreMaster 3.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the Apple App Store in the Sports category.

BaraLabs is an independent software development company out of Oswego, Illinois. The owner, Frank Bara, has been in the tech and software development industry since 1997.
