Looking for an easy way to chart football plays during a live game (for ref/officials purposes). Basically, we record a game log including the following before each play:
Time remaining
Down
Distance
Yard Line
What I envision is an app or worksheet with one touch selection buttons or drop downs for each category. After the 4 selections are made they are listed as a line item towards the bottom. The line items need to be visible (at least the most recent one or two). Then after the game, there's a complete game log that can be saved/sent etc.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

2 suggestions. 1) Does the NFL have play by play game log data you can scrape and use like the NBA does?
2) I haven't used it, but I've seen a lot of buzz about a site/service called Replit that uses AI to help you easily create web apps.

You probably be better off creating a mobile first website than a phone app. Much less headache. I would explore what some of the GUI/CMS website creators provide and see if that fits your need.
The app is "simple", but there is no simple writing something from scratch. It is a basic CRUD app though. You'd probably want two database tables, Games and Downs where Games has many Downs. Or maybe Games has many Quarters and Quarters has many Downs if you wanted to be able to break a game down into Quarters. You probably don't want anyone to be able to add downs or create games, so you'd need Users with permissions too. Then a backend to manage Users and manage Games/Downs. Then you'd need a frontend that allows people to view/download those Games and associated Downs. Maybe you'd want a schedule as well to make it easier to present the Games and users to find them on the frontend. If you're looking to hire it out I might be able to help username at gmail.

Honestly, the person using it is only one who needs access. Not multiple users or log ins... Doesn't need to be high tech, just need record of each play. The purpose is so if there's a mixup with penalty enforcement etc, you go back to the previous play info to help sort it out.
Maybe excel or some other program would be better than the app route, but it would need to function on ipad.
I appreciate your input!

Sounds like this is for a rec league or something? If so, seems like simple speech to text in a plain text file would work just fine.

This would be pretty easy to do with Swift, if you’re looking at Mac, products. I haven’t built any apps for android.
