iPad App Aims To Replace Paper Betting Sheets This Super Bowl

This NFL Playoff season, football enthusiasts can replace the Paper and Pen “Squares” betting sheets of old with the high-tech option of the Football Squares Plus App for the iPad. Squares sheets are a traditional Playoff and Super Bowl activity at viewing parties and in the office, and this app offers an interactive, paper-free solution.

Copies of completed sheets may be distributed via a built-in email generator. Participants can also include a picture in each of their on-screen squares with an optional in-app purchase.

Sheets may be configured in a number of ways, including the traditional 10 X 10 grid with scores for each quarter, half, or just the final score. Advanced options include 5 X 5 grids, entire playoff match-ups instead of the standard two-team sheet, and customized scoring labels for uses.

The purchasing of squares can be enhanced with a field for the sheet maker to describe the cost of entry, as well as the prize structure. Sheet makers can password-protect the sheet to prevent unwanted changes from participants.

Users can save and retain all their sheets, and email the data file to other Football Squares Plus owners.

Sprint Timer icon

sprintTimer – Introducing Photo Finish with Race Timing for iPhone

Kaiser & Kaiser today is pleased to introduce sprintTimer 1.0 for iPhone 4 and 3Gs, their timer and photo finish app that employs the same techniques as the professional equipment used at the Olympics. The user starts the timer and points the camera towards the finish line. sprintTimer will then build an image of narrow slices of the finish line, each representing 0.03 seconds in time. Users can then scroll along the photo to read the exact elapsed time for each competitor as they cross the finish line with a resolution of 0.01 s. The app also includes an automatic, motion controlled lap timer. Because it relies for its operation on a built-in video camera and a fast processor, the app is presently compatible only with iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPod touch 4.

Operation of sprintTimer in the Photo Finish mode involves a simple setup procedure. The app functions in portrait orientation, and the user must first choose the direction of the race, moving across the screen from left to right or vice versa. Next, the user has three choices of how to start the camera: Motion, Manual, and Time. Motion starts the camera automatically upon detection of motion in a selected field of view. Manual permits the user to push a button to start the camera seconds before the race is won. And Time automatically starts the camera a predetermined number of seconds after the timer is started. The recording may be set to run for two, four, or six seconds. Longer record times would require more memory and processing power than the iPhone 4 currently offers.

Sprint Timer Screenshot

An alignment guide allows placement of the camera centered over the finish line. Once still image recording starts, the camera takes a succession of pictures. Each picture is a small vertical slice of the entire frame, so that each picture is 100% tall but only 10 – 20% wide. The final horizontally scrollable image is a composite of many slices that together form a single, wide image. The width of each slice is user adjustable to obtain optimal results under varying conditions. The Mark button will insert a thin vertical line anywhere along the finished photo, so as the user scrolls horizontally, they may mark and display on a digital readout the exact finish time for each runner.

Since sprintTimer relies on a manual start, it cannot be used to set any official records. However, it offers far greater accuracy and versatility than the best digital stopwatch. All recordings may be saved or deleted. sprintTimer can be used for athletics, horse racing, greyhound racing, cycling, speed skating, car racing, rowing, etc.

sprintTimer has several advantages over a manual stopwatch:
* One person can time several runners, cars, etc.
* Higher accuracy than a stopwatch
* Easier to determine the order of finishers
* Gives the time difference between competitors with high accuracy
* The image and the results can be saved
* Can operate “hands free” when started

“sprintTimer will surprise coaches, athletes, and sports enthusiasts with its remarkable versatility,” stated company Owner, Sten Kaiser. “Easy to setup and operate, its comparable to carrying a large, expensive photo finish camera in your pocket.”

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (video camera equipped)
* Compatible with iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPod touch 4
* iOS 4.0 or later
* 0.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
sprintTimer 1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Sports category.

* Meters or Yards – Distances can be shown in either meters or yards. Even after a shot distance was saved, users still have the option of moving between the two measurements and getting the accurate distance

* Save Distances – Shot distances can be saved for later viewing. With an upgrade, users can view all of the saved distances with that golfer’s name with the ability to sort the list alphabetically by name or by descending distances

* Averages – Included with the Save Shot upgrade, users can view the average shot distance for every golfer. Averages can be sorted alphabetically by golfer name or descending by furthest distance

* Entire Foursome – With an upgrade, users can calculate independent shot distances for up to four golfers. By swiping the golfer nameleft or right, users can move between the different golfers. This is a terrific way to add competition to every golf round
