Inspiration
-
Where did I get the idea for the app? I've played with a team in the Astro Soccer League for over 10 years now. On occasion I've had to lookup the Astro.ie web-site on my iPhone/iPod touch to check on my team. It can be a little awkward browsing the site to find what you want on the small screen of the iPhone/iPod touch. So I decided to see if I could develop an app that would download a teams league table, fixtures and results onto the iPhone/iPod touch to browse the data.
