Latest reviews of G.A.P.S. Sports Coaching app for iPhone and iPad
Good app but I use many games of my own creation and would like to be able to import graphics as well as just add notes.
The G.A.P.S Sports Coaching app is a great overall concept and has plenty of potential. I already use it to plan Australian Football training sessions and then implement them directly from my phone while out at the field. Unfortunately there are a few key things missing in this early version. For example I cannot find the "Web Portal" that is referred to in the description in the iTunes app store?? Also I cannot work out how to delete unwanted sessions or sections, only drills or notes. And there is no way to edit notes once they have been saved. It would also be great if you could use the date you plan to run the session, rather than the default, which is todays date. Finally it wold be great if sessions or notes could be copied to another session.
