My app is named “Fantasy Draft” and it is an app that is made to make your fantasy football league play slightly more manageable. The app was built using http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ and borrows a few components from Google Fusion tables. Google Fusion tables was used to make a spreadsheet of information for the app to pull from. The information on the spreadsheet was supplemented by http://www.NFL.com and uses a list picker to first pull the initial names for the player whose stats you want to view. When you select the name you will be taken back to the initial screen where you can then click results. You will then receive a list of that players, most current stats. Seeing as we couldn’t implement an RSS Feed to the app to automatically pull information from NFL.com, we implemented an option to allow users to input the information themselves after checking the information through a reputable source. The inspiration for the app came from when I would view my family members who usually participate in the Football Fantasy League and how they would have to use multiple apps to pull their information as well as select the players they wanted in their specified league and check their fantasy scores. While we were developing the app, we ran into the initial problem of finding an alternative to using an RSS feed for the info, so we had to then rely on Google Fusion tables. The problem that came with this is that we had to manually input the information and then go through a fairly confusing setup of Authorization codes through Google to allow the app to pull information from the server it was saved to. There is also the issue that came with wanting to use a list picker element to allow you to add said player to your separate Fusion table. We are still running through and trying to fix this stray component of the app. The app is more or less targeted at anyone who enjoys the Fantasy League of Football, though it is mostly targeted at those aged from 21-45 years of age.
