3.2
2020-08-18
Full support for iOS Dark Mode.
I've never been one to use dark mode, so I never tested it myself. However, the other day a user emailed me and alerted me to the problem, black text on a black background was kinds hard to see. I agree. Thanks for the heads up Kyle.
I believe I caught all text/background changes needed to support dark mode, but if I didn't please email me and I'll fix it ASAP.

2020, wow! I hope everyone is doing well. Football season is creeping up on us, and I hope everyone will be able to enjoy the upcoming youth football season with family and friends. For some of us, fall football season is the best time of the year. No matter what this year has thrown at each of us, I hope everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the upcoming season safely and with those we love.
Version 3.1 is mainly a maintenance update. I've updated the app to the latest Apple Xcode version, making it ready for the latest version of iOS and the latest round of iPhone and iPad models. There were a few minor bugs squashed, and a couple minor UI tweaks. Presently I have nothing planned for immediate additions to the app, but if you have something in mind that you'd like to see added, please email me. I'm always looking for new ideas that will fit well within the app.
If you have any issues with the app, please email me, I'll take care of it immediately. If you feel the need to leave a negative review, I ask that you email me the issue first before leaving a review to give me the opportunity to fix it.
3.0.3
2019-07-25

3.0
2018-08-27
v3.0 of the app adds… SCORING
As of v3.0, Platinum Play Counter has added the much requested scoring module. You can now add a scoring event after the snap, capturing the scoring team, type of score, and points scored. Combining this new scoring data with the data already captured on each snap allows for more in-depth analysis of the game and your teams performance. You will now be able to review which players were on the field each time either team scores. The app also displays the current score while in-game, allowing you to make sure that volunteer scoreboard operator (that spends more time on Facebook than watching the game) is doing his/her job properly. You will need an in-app purchase to enable this new feature, but on that note I have added a new in-app purchase model that I hope you all will like.
If you have previously purchased the Touchdown Package or Export Package, those purchases carry over seamlessly to this and all future versions of the app. You will NOT need to re-buy those options. Detailed information about the new in-app purchase options is available on the website accessible via the “Developer Website” link here in the App Store.
2.8
2018-08-02
It's that time of year again, are you ready for some football? Good luck to all the youth football teams out there. May everyone have a safe and enjoyable season.
- Updated to the latest development environment which fully supports iOS 11.x, iPhone X layouts, and the latest development options. Platinum Play Counter still supports iOS 8.x and higher, iPhone 5 and higher, and most recent version of the iPad.
- Added a scroll view to the settings page to support older phones with a smaller vertical screen. If you can't see all the settings options within the app, just scroll down a bit.
- Added a cancel button in the top-left corner of the Edit Teams view while in-game.
Upcoming updates:
I've started working on the the option to track scoring while in-game. It will attach scores to the previous snap, so coaching staff will be able to see who was on field each time either team scored. This feature is optional and will require a one time in-app purchase to enable. I'm also toying with the idea of multi-user play count and scoring options, allowing one user to count plays and another to track scoring, with both sets of data combining "in the cloud" to produce a detailed post-game report for the coaches. This would also enable a "live feed" of the score, enabling friends and relative to see live scores of your child's game online. The scoring option should be available prior to regular season games, the multi-user option is just an idea for now.
2.7.1
2017-11-18
- A fix I promised would be in 2.7, but I forgot until this afternoon. Now, if you check "Sort: On Field" while in-game the player list will auto re-sort as you set players on/off the field.
- Deleting a player from the app now also deletes them from any teams they were assigned to.
2.7
2017-11-17
- Added ability to export a list of players and/or a list of teams from the Settings view. * You will need the Export Stats in-app purchase option to enable this feature.
- Fixed "End of Quarter" label on the game stats export.
- Disabled auto screen lock while app is open.
- iPhone X support.
2.6
2017-10-07
New in v2.6
- Added "Sort: On Field" checkbox to the in-game view. Checking this box will sort the players with "On Field" players at the top of the list. This makes it easy to see who you have selected as "on field" without the need to scroll up and down as much.
- A few minor bug fixes.
Known issues: If you have "Sort: On Field" checked, then toggle the Bench/Field switch on players, the sort order does not change. You will have to toggle the sort checkbox to re-sort the player list. I'll fix this in the next release.
2.5
2017-09-28

2.4
2017-08-26
It's football season! Good luck to all the youth football teams out there, and I hope everyone has a fun and safe 2017 season.
This update contains a much asked for feature, the ability to edit teams while in-game. If you setup Kickoff, Kickoff Return, Offense 1, Defense Red, etc. teams and use them to make switching players on/off the field easier while in-game, you can now edit these teams right there in the middle of the game. I hope this makes things a little easier for everyone.
v2.4
- Added ability to edit teams while in-game
- Added vibration to Snap button on iPhone
- Minor bug fixes
Keep those suggestions and comments coming, I love hearing from users. Send me a message via my support page if you have any ideas, questions, comments, or complaints. And please... please... submit an app review here in the App Store.

2.2.1
2016-09-05
A minor update containing the following:
- Increased the maximum number for the Minimum Plays setting from 16 to 32. I got an email from a user that's league requires 24 plays per player per game. I did not know there were leagues with minimums that high.

TEAMS!!! We added support for TEAMS!
This update adds the ability to assign players to custom offense, defense, or special teams, making it easier for you to switch players on/off the field while in game. Apply the “Kickoff Return” team and all players assigned to that team are marked as on filed. Use the Team tab to create and edit teams prior to a game, and then apply teams while in game using the game menu in the upper-left corner.

Finally, Platinum Play Counter now supports iPhone as well as iPad devices. This update also includes a redesign of the in-game screen, moving the lesser used items to a slide-out menu on the left. v2.0 updates include:
- Now a universal app, supporting both iPhone and iPad devices.

- Removed the "please review this app" nag screens. They were annoying. In return do us a favor, review this app. ;-)

Please, seriously, please review this app. We've seen hundreds of app downloads, and only one review to date. We feel so lonely. Good reviews keep us motivated and helps spread the word about the app. Bad reviews gives us things to fix and new features to implement. Either way we love hearing from our users either via app reviews or our support website.
