  • Picking even sides is a hassle no longer

    Picking even sides is a hassle no longer

    It’s no secret that I love my football, but every week we have the same dilemma on a Monday night. Working out who is coming is a doddle thanks to RocketSports, but picking the teams is always a headache. If you have even sides, it’s usually a bit easier, but when it’s odd numbers the problems are increased. Who to side with whom?

    Luckily technology can help us with that problem and we’re super excited to be working with Keiran from IntoHand in Bath to develop a prototype Team Picking app for iOS and Android. Current offerings are hideously ugly and unbelievably bad to use – as if the people making them have never hear of UX or UI design.

    Below are sample screenshots of what we hope to launch in the January.

    The Load screen:

    01 Intro and load

    Your team screen, say who’s there and rate each player on your team:

    02 selection screen

    Pick those sides – a nice BIG button!

    03 selection screen complete

    Adding a player is a simple tap or two:

    04 adding a new player

    Edit your squad easily:

    Voila! Your teams, picked based on your ratings. Get your ratings right and you’ll never have an uneven game again. It’ll work for any sport or occasion.

  • Original Designers Workbook App

    There’s an App for everything, apparently.

    Well no there’s not, there’s not an Original Designers Workbook App — yet! So we thought we should rectify that and get designing and planning. And we did.

    With clear ideas of functionality that will be invaluable to the creative industry our planned digital Workbook will let users create notes that they can search, track, share, edit and assign. We are now seeking a digital partner to help us get the Original Designers Workbook App to market on both iOS and Android who will share in the success of this unique and proven product.

    There is more information on our dedicated ODW App page, with a couple of sneak preview visuals. If you are an iOS or Android developer and interested in a partnership agreement, please get in  touch.
