Fencing Day is a camera app for fencing parents. It knows which bout is next, records at 60 frames per second, and files each video in your Google Drive with the opponent and the score in its name.
Coming soon to the App Store. Leave your email and we will tell you the day it is out.
Sample bout. The names are made up.
How it works
Take a picture of your fencer's pool sheet, with every name and number in view, or type the names. The app works out the bout order and which side of the strip your fencer is on. For direct elimination, add a picture of the bracket around your fencer, and a new one after each win.
The app knows who is fencing and films with the settings fencing needs: 60 frames per second, and a fast shutter when the venue is bright enough, so the blade stays sharp. After the bout you tap the score.
If you connect Google Drive, each video goes to your own Drive, in a folder for each fencer and event, with the opponent and the score in the file name.
Type an opponent's name. Every past bout against them comes up, newest first, with the score and the video to watch before the bout.
Everything in one place
No more scrolling through a camera roll of clips with numbers for names. Each file name has the opponent and the score. Uploads go over Wi-Fi unless you allow cellular, and the videos stay in your Drive even if you disconnect the app.
Example folder. The names are made up.
Privacy and safety
Your fencers' names, pools, scores and videos stay on your phone. We cannot see them.
Connecting Drive is optional. The app asks Google for access to only the files it creates. It cannot see or change any other file in your Drive, and you can remove access at any time.
When you snap a pool or a bracket, the app reads the names on your phone. It does not keep the picture, and it never uploads it.
The app has no accounts and collects no information from children. Opponents' names stay on your phone and in your Drive. They are never sent to us.
Fencing Day is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone. Android comes later. Leave your email and we will tell you when it is ready for your phone.
