### 3/5 — Used to be awesome

*2019-11-02*

One of the updates wrecked it, and now it doesn’t score the non-bidding team’s tricks.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2018-06-03, version 2.2.1*

Non intuitive , doesn’t follow protocol. Horrible layout and lacks logic. Worst app ever .

### 2/5 — Needs update to encompass all rules

*2014-09-19, version 2.0*

Mate, you need to update to allow six bids and for misere

### 2/5 — Only 7 Tricks or above

*2014-06-21, version 2.0*

Works well. Though you cant bet 6 tricks. Only option is for 7 or above.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2013-04-14, version 1.1*

Many others have said this but:
-no misere bids

No problem with allowing lower bids but without misere game is different

### 1/5 — Has potential

*2013-03-31, version 1.1*

This could be a great app, needs the following changes:
- bidding starts at 6
-allow misere
-option for 3 player 500
-include a bidding chart for reference

### 2/5 — Need to be able to score 5 players

*2011-12-31*

I need to be able to score 5 players where the partner could be different every time.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2011-01-16, version 1.1*

Not well done. Allows scoring errors!

### 3/5 — Great idea & helpful, but . . .

*2010-04-19*

This app is a great idea and very helpful when playing 500, but it can use some touch ups.

The major improvement I would like to see is the addition of 6 bids.  The version of the game I play allows for 6 bids, but the scorer in its current version is unusable for us.  Adding the option in the scorer for 6 bids would not hinder those who don't play with 6 bids but it would make it versatile for those of us who do.

Also, the look could be upgraded a bit to be made more rich and inviting (maybe give it a card table motif?), and some extras should be added, like rules of play, trump suit ranking, and other tips.

The suggestions offered in the other reviews here are also good, keeping track of the dealer is a good one, add the "score chart" to see bid values and the error checking are very good ideas.  The extra 50 points for taking all 10 tricks is not a good idea, however, since the app already awards -- correctly -- 250 points if all 10 tricks are taken on a bid that is valued at less than 250.  There is no additional reward for taking 10 tricks allowed in the rules.

### 1/5 — 380 scorer (since you can't make the lower bids)

*2010-03-10, version 0*

Great idea, Great price! BAD app!! No Missere (or open) - although this might be how some players would prefer it :). And bidding should start at 6 - although at 120 points max for 6 no trumps, a bid of 6 might hardly be worth it.Can't wait for the updated 1.2 that fixes these bugs (although I suppose it might not be free next time)
