PlayPal is a beautiful tactical drawing and planning app for floorball (uniball) on your iPhone and iPad.
We needed a tool for the iPad and iPhone that would let us easily plan the tactics prior to a match. There were (search for floorball) some apps out there already that did somewhat the same thing, however, we wanted it to be simpler and faster, without all the fancy bells and whistles we'd never use anyway.
The resulting app is PlayPal. It looks great and feels almost native to the platform.
At this stage we sell the app for $.99 (6 NOK), the price however, will double when the app reaches the next stage (don't hold your breath).
The future update will include support for full match, team and player statistics - with a very tap friendly realtime registration of goals and events.
Create a new player by dragging and dropping the Player Well onto the rink. The color of the well corresponds to the color of created player.
Green, red, black and white are available to draw with. Whatever you draw is automatically saved when you quit the app.
New players are created alphabetically. The green team is labeled A-E and the red team F-J. Both teams have a sixth player, marked with a star.
To delete only a few players, tap and hold a player to activate delete mode, then simply tap the black button to remove the players. When you're done, tap a green checkmark.
The last player available on both teams is the star player or goalie. As we all know, a goalie can steal a game, or an entire series.
Individual players are deleted by dragging and dropping them onto either of the Player Wells. It is impossible to create new players while you drag.
To prevent undesired changes to the board, tap the lock buttons at the bottom of the board: the left locks the paint, the right locks the players.
To delete all paint use the slider below the ink wells. If you want to reset all the players, use the slider next to the player wells.
When the players are locked, the Player Well will be disabled. Simply tap the lock button to enable player editing and creation.
The ball cannot be deleted. If you try, it will simply reappear on the center court. The ball is not affected by the locks.
