What each release of Boxscore9 includes, and what's coming next.
Version 1.0

- Score with or without balls and strikes.
- Substitutions, pitching changes, and extra innings.
- A box score summary with runs, hits, and errors by inning.
- Export a finished scorecard to PDF — cover page, scoring reference, box score, and the full frame-by-frame grid.
- Fully offline. No accounts, no sign-in.
- Free to download, with an optional one-time Pro unlock to remove ads.
- Built for iPhone and iPad.
Version 1.1
Released September 2026.
New
- A live ball-and-strike count in the score box, with pitch count tracked separately.
- Freehand drawings now show inside the scorecard grid cell, not just in the entry view.
- First-run hints on the Score Cards and Teams tabs to help you get started.
Fixed
- You can now delete a team — swipe left on it in the Teams tab.
- The extra-innings automatic runner is scored correctly as an extra-innings runner.
- Freehand ink is saved as you draw, so strokes are no longer lost if the app closes mid-game.
- The ad-consent prompt now runs reliably when the app launches.
Improved
- The extra-innings control stays pinned to the grid header where you can always reach it.
- A tidier grid header — runs, hits, and errors on one line, leaving more room for the scorecard.
Version 1.2
Released September 2026.
New
- Roster management — tap a player to edit them. Set a roster status (Available, Injured List, Day-to-Day, and the other standard designations) for anyone who's on the roster but can't play a given game, and change a player's position. Only Available players are offered by default when you build a lineup or make a substitution; the rest are one tap away.
- A substitute can enter at a different fielding position than the player they replace — it no longer has to match. The position shows in the substitution history and can be changed later.
- Double switches and defensive shuffles — after bringing in a substitute at a new position, move the displaced fielder in Realign Defense. A fielder who has been moved off their spot but not yet reassigned shows a dash instead of a stale position.
- Lost-DH support — send a designated hitter onto the field from Realign Defense, then record the pitcher (or a bench batter) entering the batting order in the vacated slot. Field Positions and the box score note "DH forfeited", and the batting pitcher shows as "P".
Fixed
- Exporting a PDF no longer crashes when a batting slot took two substitutions in the same inning (a pinch-hitter followed by a same-inning defensive replacement).
- Substitutions recorded in the same inning now resolve in a consistent order every time — on the field diagram, the box score, and the exported PDF.
- Free-tier banner ads now display. The ad container had a sizing-and-setup bug that left the banner space blank on every screen.
Version 1.3
In planning.
The next release is still being scoped. If there's a feature you'd like to see, or a bug to report, reach out at boxscore9@parallelhours.io — it helps shape what goes in.
