New GAA app on iTunes
03.07.2009
Are you gaga for GAA? If so, you'll be happy to hear about the latest iTunes app from Statzpack. It's a statistics service that allows GAA clubs to set up and record team stats for all panels, players and grades. Every game and campaign can be analysed and stored on a secure website. And it comes with an added technological feature that is a first for Gaelic sports - its very own Apple iPhone application - StatzGaelic.
The iPhone app comes free to Statzpack members, and users with an iPhone or iPod touch can download the app from iTunes. Game stats can be recorded by simple touches of the screen, with all the info automatically uploading to the website. You can also see half and full-time stats, and view past match reports .
"The beauty of the system is that it is very easy to use. We have trialled it with schools, county level teams and clubs. We took the measure to recruit the input and expertise from coaches and players, past and present at all levels - but especially at grassroots. We have listened carefully to those who have given a lot of their time to the game," said Mark Roberts, director at Statzpack.
The system is provided as a service rather than a separate software application. All clubs signing up can avail of a free 30-day trial at www.statzpack.com.
In the next few months, Statzpack intends to launch a soccer and rugby union version of the service.
