Best Practices
« on: March 31, 2019, 06:54:19 pm »
I'm getting ready to purchase the app for the upcoming baseball season.  Are there any best practices I should know in advance?  Thank you.

The hardest part I always had each season was getting the players to pick their songs so get that bug in their ear as soon as you can. 

Couple other things to consider:
Source of music... on Apple, you can use Apple music, purchases from iTunes, or imported song files. On Android, their are no subscription options so you can either purchase songs somewhere, or my free helper app "Simple Song Collector" from here https://upallnitesoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=246
Do you want announcements and if so what type?  The easiest announcements in the app are text-to-speech, but they sound kinda robotic.  You can also find a coach or parent with a good voice and record them in the app.  Third option is to pay a pro like Donny Baarns to record them for you and import to the app https://upallnitesoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=244.msg788#msg788.

Lastly... I would avoid using the app on your primary phone so you can pass off a device to another person in case you can't make the game.  The app does work on Android devices back to 4.1 and Apple ones back to iOS 9.3.5 so you can use an older phone or tablet that you have laying around or can buy refurbished.

Thank you for the advice.  I will be using an iPad for the games.   Looking forward to the season starting.
