Exporting to Excel

uCoach makes emailing results to yourself very easy. In order to transfer those results to Excel, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Create a .txt file. In Windows, this can be done by right-clicking the background of a folder or the desktop and selecting New->TextFile from the dropdown context menu.

Step 2: Copy and paste the results from your email into the newly created text file.

Step 3: Rename the text file that now contains your results to something you like (e.g., 'MeetResults') and append '.csv' to the end. So the entire name of the file should be 'MeetResults.csv'. There should be no '.txt' remaining.

Step 4: Open the .csv file with Excel.

The "u" in uCoach

We value your input. Help us make uCoach better!

If you like uCoach, let us know how we can make it better by emailing us. We frequently respond to customers and often implement their suggestions.

Helpful Tips

Here are a few potentially helpful tips:

If you'd like to record data for a unique or uncommon event type that we don't have listed, you can either (1) specify the meet type as "other" in order to manually enter event types or (2) choose an event type that we do have listed and just remember to rename it when you send people the results.

In v2.0, you can definitely delete an individual athlete's performance after an event is complete. This was not true for v1.0. We added the feature after one of our customers brought it to our attention.

We are currently working on implementing relay functionality. For now, you can simply enter a team name for the athlete name and record each athlete's time as if it were a split for a single athlete. For example, to record 4x400m relay splits for teams A and B, just enter the athlete names as "Team A" and "Team B" and set the number of splits equal to 4.

We are also currently working on implementing repeat/workout functionality. For now, you can simply record workout repeats by creating a new event for each repeat. For example, to record several 800m repeats for your third workout, just create a meet called "Workout 3" with several 800m events.

The throwing and jumping track events only allow marks to be entered in decimal format. For example, enter 21.11 instead of 21'11".

If you already have v1.0 installed, upgrading to v2.0 will erase your data. Please make sure to store your important data outside of uCoach before upgrading. This issue is due to a one-time-only database restructuring, so future upgrades will not erase any data.

uCoach v2.0 Release Pending

The release of uCoach v2.0 is pending. Expect to see it in the App Store in about a week.

uCoach v2.0 includes an improved, highly-reliable timer as well as numerous additional features. It is a huge improvement over v1.0 and almost certainly the most sophisticated split/lap recorder in the App Store.
