iPhone score keeping app: Discasaurus launches today!

Me and some friends launched a FREE disc golf scoring app for iPhone today. It's called Discasaurus and it features lightning-fast scoring and a nationwide course directory. We also have a matching website at http://discasaurus.com where registered users can post scores directly from the mobile app, manage favorites, and view scores being posted nearby.

For the bloggers and site owners, we offer a recent scores widget (see the link on your Discasaurus user profile) that can help you share your disc golf activity on other sites (HTML code provided).

Still not convinced? Check out the app review over at Dogleg Disc Golf. We hope you like the app, and we are all ears for comments and suggestions for improvements.

When does it come out for Android?!

Hi Nick - The Android version has been in development for several months now and we hope to launch it this summer. Like the iPhone version, it will allow you to locate courses nearby and post your scored directly to your discasaurus.com user profile.

Awesome.

[Ben Calhoun]

Nice to see you've got it done! I have an Android so I'll be waiting on that version!

[Jeff Nichols]

VERY COOL! That sounds Awesome. Now, all I have to do is get an iPhone or Android!

I just downloaded the app, and it looks great!

 

I was just wondering how I can access my local courses.  It doesn't seem to have them in the course directory.  I tried updating the course directory, but it didn't seem to add any of the courses in the 63141 (St. Louis) area.

 

Thanks for any help!

Yep. Not working. It's supposed to go to a screen to select your state for courses. Wonder how long it will take to fix.

 

[Dave Mitchell]

Thanks for the feedback guys! New courses are added/updated by clicking the Settings icon within the app. If we're missing some courses in your area, please send me a note with whatever specifics you have. I'll try to get them added this week. We have a new course creation interface but it's not user friendly enough for public use yet.

 

@Atrain, once you have selected the active players for a game, you have to swipe the screen sideways to select a course location and layout. After you do that, hitting Start will bring up the scoring interface. Sorry for the confusion on that. We've got another version pending approval in the App Store that has little swipe indicators that make the initial user experience much more intuitive and effective.

 

Also, if you increment a score too much, you can tap and hold on that player tile to reset that player's score to zero for a given hole.

[Atrain]

Thanks dave. I got that now. :)

 

But, I only see courses in MI and CA.

[Atrain]

If you do a very quick double consecutive tap with two different fingers, it subtracts a stroke. very cool!

 

I am not seeing the same state selection area as what's on the Dog Leg Review page.

[Dave Mitchell]

The version reviewed on Dog Leg disc golf should hit the app store soon. It is just a more recent version than the one currently in the app store. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your patience!

[Atrain]

Okey doke. I assume that's when I'll get the ability to use on courses here in SC. No biggie. I really like the interface. Very quick = more throwing, less phoning.
