I am actively working on modifications for the new iPhone and its larger screen.

HoopShots and SoccerShots users who upgrade the Whiteboard.  After purchasing the Whiteboard, you will need to close the app and start it again.  (Small bug, sorry).

HoopShots is much like HockeyShots.... just think basketball.
Welcome to Hockey Shots!

When you first start, you will be presented with an empty game screen.








The tab bar at the bottom of the screen has four buttons,  "Games", "Teams", "Lineup", and "Whiteboard".  If you want to record a player with each shot or goal, you will need to create a team before creating your first game.

Press the "Teams" icon on the tab bar to create your team.














Press the "+" icon on the top-right of the screen to enter a team name and add the team.














You now have a team, but the team does not have any players.

Press anywhere on the team line except for the blue arrow to add players to the team.



Press the "+" icon in the Players screen to add a player.

Enter a number and a name then press the "Players" button on the upper-left of the screen to create the player.  If you create a player by mistake, you can press the player name in the player list and change the number and/or name or press the "Delete" button to remove the player.  On iPad, players are deleted by pressing the "Edit" button on the Player list screen and then selecting the delete icon.


On iPhone/iPod touch, to go back to the main Teams page, press the "Teams" button on the upper-left of the Players screen.
You can change the team name by pressing the blue arrow icon on the right side of the team name.  You can also designate the selected team to be the default team.  The default team will be chosen automatically as the team when a new game is created.  There can only be one default team.



To delete a team, press the Edit button, then press the red circle icon which then will display a Delete button on the line.


Now that you have a team in place, press the Games icon on the tab bar to go back to the Games screen.

Press the "+" icon on the upper-right of the screen to create a new game.  Fill out the  details of the game, or press the "Quick Game" button which will put simple default values.  The game date will always default to the current day.

If you have chosen a default team, it will be displayed.  To change the default or select a team, press the "Select Team" button.  Press the "Done" button when finished editing the team information or press Cancel to go back without saving your changes.















To start entering shots and goals, press the game description in the game list.















The top bar shows the current period along with the total shots and goals for the period.  You can move to other periods by swiping the screen with two fingers.

A screen shot of each period that contains a shot is created and updated each time a new shot is entered or a shot is changed.  To email the screen shots and shot details, go back to the game details screen and press "Email Details".

To add a shot, press the screen with one finger where the shot is to be placed.




The player selection screen will appear with a list of players on the team.  Select the player and press either the "Shot", "Goal", or "Hit" button for the desired action.  A penalty can be added with a double-tap on the rink screen.

If your fingers are small and nimble enough, you can press and drag a shot to another location on the screen.  A red circle will be drawn around the shot if you successfully selected the shot.

You can change the player or action of the shot if you press and hold the shot marker for 1 second.  If after 1 second, the shot selection screen does not display that means the press did not register on top of the shot, so you can try again until you get it.
