Doesn’t score right

Doesn’t subtract for zero bids

Response from developer

Yes it does? Zero bids are an integral part of the game and it would be quite obvious if it wasn’t working. I find most of the confusion people have with scoring come from misunderstanding the rule book. I’ve even received rule clarifications from Grandpa Beck himself. If you have doubts about scoring, you can contact him using the number in the rule book. He’s super nice!

Extremely useful app, with minor issues

We use the scoring app every time we play skull king and overall it works very well, unfortunately there are a couple of minor issues with scoring. On special games like skip to the brawl, the game miss-scores failed zero bid hands as -10 when it should be scoring them based on the number of cards dealt. The ability to manually adjust scores if needed would be one way around this, and would resolve some other minor issues.

It would be also great if the app could remember player names and historical scores for previous games.

Easy scorekeeping

I really love this app. I love the fact that this app keeps score for you instead of doing the scorecard that comes with the game. Love this app.

Works week and intuitive

Works well and has all bonuses. It seems, though, that tricks won are only being scored as 10 points and not as 20 points.

Response from developer

Hello! Thanks for the review. Please note that tricks won are scored as 10 per card dealt when the bid is zero. That is intentional and in the rule book. If the bid is greater than zero, the tricks won are scored as 20 per card dealt, per the rule book.

Frustrating

This app worked perfectly for about 2 games while we were on vacation with friends. The next time we played, one person’s score was completely and obviously wrong on round 9. Last night on round 9 one friend’s score completely disappeared! The only thing it listed was her name! I really like the idea of the app and the way it’s set up makes scoring easy, but only when it works.

Great app

The best score app for skull king game. It just need to save names and add custom cards numbers and round numbers to be perfect.

If you want to stick to the game manual rules, this will save your time and mind doing the calculations.

Buggy scoring?

Just ran a game and in the final round a player bid correctly and got 30 bonus points, but the final scores gave them -30 for the round. Then the final scores screen showed gold silver and bronze colors for random players. Pretty bad first experience

Good at keeping score… but crashes a lot

It’s great at keeping score but it has no way to save games so if you go away from the app for more than a few seconds there a good chance it’s gonna close out your game right in the middle… which is beyond frustrating.

Life Changing

I don’t want to get emotional about it, but this game has changed my life in so many ways. It’s given my life more meaning, more joy, and more peace from my problems. The app really puts the “king” in Skull King, and makes the game so much more enjoyable. I am a physician and if there’s one thing that could cure depression completely, it would be this app.
