BaraLabs Celebrates 1-year Anniversary with Free Offer!

As part of the 1-year anniversary of its iOS app VBall ScoreMaster, BaraLabs will offer the app FREE for a limited time.

Oswego, Illinois - BaraLabs is currently celebrating the 1-year anniversary of their first iOS app, VBall ScoreMaster. As part of this celebration, the app has been made Free for a limited time! In addition to this app, customers can also download the drawing app First Draw for free.

VBall ScoreMaster was just updated to take advantage of the most recent Apple iOS. As a universal app, it has been designed to run on iPhone (5 and up), iPad (including the Mini), and iPod (5 and up). This app is targeted to parents and friends of club, high school, and middle school volleyball players. You can quickly keep score of games and send pre-formatted text notifications to anyone easily from within the app. If they have Twitter or Facebook installed (and via in-app purchase), users can post messages, scores, and pictures directly to those sites without ever leaving the app.

“I developed the app because both my sons play volleyball at the club and school level,” said BaraLabs owner Frank Bara. “I noticed that usually the people keeping score at games were young players or volunteers who often wouldn’t pay close attention to what was going on in the game.” Bara also said, “I found myself constantly asking other parents if the score being shown was correct. I decided to make my own app with the features I used most.”

Posting scores and screenshots to Twitter and Facebook lets parents and friends keep everyone updated with the latest scores and player achievements. Bara continued, “My wife would want to know how our boys were doing and I would end up missing the action because I was busy typing a text message to her. I built into the app the ability to quickly send a text message after an ace or spike; I don’t even have to look at the screen, I just tap ‘Send’ and the message is done!” The app contains many features that parents, grand-parents, and friends of player can find helpful, and it’s now free in the Apple App Store. Users who upgrade from the current version will get many of the new features for free.
