### 5/5 — Works a treat!

*2025-08-23, version 1.5*

Love this app, it's nice and simple.

### 5/5 — Great 500 scoring tool!

*2023-06-03, version 1.5*

Very happy with this app! 
As an added enhancement it would be nice if the history should who won in the listing or had a running score card for same players.  Thanks.

### 1/5 — Omg useless

*2023-04-15, version 1.5*

😩

### 4/5 — Only one issue otherwise pretty good

*2023-02-25, version 1.5*

The scoring app works well with one issue, it allows a team score to pass 500 without winning a hand. The way we play, the team score does not go beyond 490 unless the team wins the bidding and then succeeds with the hand.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2021-12-29, version 1.5*

Works really well, highly recommended

### 5/5 — Great little app!

*2021-10-17, version 1.5*

We downloaded because no one had pencil/paper. We will continue to use this great little app. It adds enjoyment to the game because You don’t have to focus on the scoring.

### 2/5 — Need options for add rules

*2020-12-04*

We have a different set of rules in quebec province. Could you add them ?

### 2/5 — Hate the scoring

*2019-10-06, version 1.2*

This would be good if it didn’t award 10 points to per trick to the non-contractors even if they lose. Scoring 250 for misere winners and awarding the losers 100 at the same time is crazy!

### 1/5 — It’s a bit buggy

*2019-10-03, version 1.2*

Not quite right, seems to award points to the wrong player in 5 hand

### 1/5 — Can’t deal

*2019-08-25, version 1.2*

Bad
