Assumptions, they are most likely assuming you’ll turn it into a subscription app and they don’t want to seem like they’re promoting something they don’t control.

That would be my thought too but I tried to make it clear that it is now and will remain free. As a retired guy, getting some extra money would be great, but I am not sure there is enough polish in this app that I would ever even consider it as a possibility.
-
I would keep an eye on the usage and if there’s enough people hitting the app, instead of subscription, look at affiliate marketing or ads (within reason, no one wants to have to watch ads every 30 secs). There are tons of companies that will pay you a very small fee just for clicks, it adds up and could be a nice way to add a little $ for fun things.

Okay, based on some comments in another thread I got busy again
I have added a whole new Category of reports Eras and Immortals with the following reports
Best squad by decade is kind of flakey as many decades represented in the game don't have enough players to fill out squad.
Then every player in the game who is in the Hall Of Fame as a player has a indicator on their details screen beneath their picture. When you mouse over that Hall of fame indicator it pops up the induction information
-
New changes for the few that might be using this
- Added Supercharge info to the detail screens of Supercharged players
-
Changed the report selection screen as it was getting to cluttered. The new design also gives more detail on each report
-
Added a new Team Power Rankings report.

Man, the moderators of the MLB The Show reddit are just brutal. They just keep deleting my posts where I try and share this completely free app with other players.
It would be nice if they gave a reason for it because from what I could see I am not violating any rules.
If they continue to delete your post, maybe you should try to create a discord server, to share the news and updates there.

I have done more updates. As a reminder, anyone can try it here.
https://the-show-scout-918757871828.us-west1.run.app/
The app is now 8,845 lines of code and has 50 built in reports grouped into 8 categories.
I removed the supercharge code. It just was not working well and the Dynamic nature of supercharges was causing problems.
I had the AI rework the logic in its Squad building hopefully improving the theme teams for every team
I added 6 new reports for Captains. I really like my captains report for teams

@Dolenz_PSN is there a version to download to my phone so I don't have to keep coming here or no? It doesn't matter either way

Not currently. It's just easier to deploy it on Google's platform.
Is it even useable on a phone? It was designed on a 1080p monitor. maybe the AI mode it scalable but I don't know.
I love the app and it has been fun to build. I use it a lot when browsing the forums but nobody else has used it much.

New update - based on numbers nobody else is using this but I still feel the need to announce new features anyway
The ability to compare two players side by side (EDIT: I fixed the comparison showing the BLK attribute for all players)
-
New report I just finished implementing. I was getting tired of trying to figure out how much Ozzie would cost me so I created a report to get the estimated cost for the cards in a series that are purchasable on the market.
The report lists the cards and you check the ones you have or don't need (In my case since I am going for Ozzie and not Hank so I selected the 5 most expensive as I should not need those). The report will update the Buy Now and Sell Now values on the fly. So here is where I stand with Ozzie (well, after I finish the actual programs)
The Default value if you were starting from scratch and wanting all of them is 944K Buy Now and 690K Sell Now. That is kind of a ridiculous total. Hopefully I can cut my cost more with packs earned in the programs themselves.
-
Google has changed the way they do things apparently which changed the links to the two apps. So the most updated versions (with the Card Comparisons and the new Card Series cost estimator) are at the links below.
The Show Scout - The Main Program
The Show Scout: The Vault - The app to look at and compare cards from The Show 21 - The Show 24

Is this going to be on the apple App Store soon?

No. It is just me playing around with AI programming tools. It started out simple and I just kept making it more and more complex. It was never intended to be put on a storefront
You should be able to use it in a web browser right now. I am not sure how well it would work on a phone screen as it was designed on a PC and 1089p monitors

I’ll download this as soon as I get home today! This sounds amazing. I also concur, SDS please offer this man a position on the team.

Nothing to download since it is web application. The only thing done locally is saving the current JSON file so you don't need to sit through the fetch every time you use it
