Could be better
I like many aspects of this app including the ability to randomly assign wonders to players and even filter which wonders are available for a given game.
I also like the overall mechanism for entering/calculating scores with one glaring exception (and this is my main gripe with the app): if you make a mistake in a scoring category (e.g. Military) you cannot go back and correct it without completely erasing all the scoring you've already entered. This is very nearly a deal breaker. You should be able to edit/correct any scores up until the point you actually save them.
Also, other scoring apps let you post your scores to Facebook or other social media, a feature this app sorely lacks.

Good, not yet Great
I love this app, but it could be made even better.
Things I like:
-makes scoring easy and simple
-clean way to keep track of stats and records
-beautiful artwork that coincides with the feel of the game
-intuitive to use
Things I would like fixed/added:
-fix average, high, and low scores for players and games
-add way to keep track of individual's records with each Wonder Board including high and low scores
-in Game Statistics section, show who won each game with which Wonder Board
-sync with app on other devices
This app is good and makes the experience of playing 7 Wonders better. With these simple fixes, it could be even more awesome!!!
Thank you!

Ok, but needs improving
Wanted app to store scores, and thought official app would do the job. However biggest failing for our purposes is that you cannot separate groups of people in the stats section.
We have regular games with different groups and we'd like to see the stats for a specific group rather than overall only. This shows up as we have one player played 1 game and won and sit with 100% at the top of the leader board.

Niggling bugs make it useless
A nice easy to use UI HOWEVER scores are not always accurate and won’t let you select 5 of any one scientific symbol for a single player - difficult to achieve but in no way impossible.
Great app for great game
This is the best boardgame companion app I've ever seen, it's well worth the cost and other designers should look to this as the model.
It does everything you could want: random setup w/ whichever expansions, scoring assistant, record keeping plus a bonus wonder plus stats stats stats. Player stats, wonder stats, game stats, card type stats. Perfect!
My number one hope is that the ipad and iphone apps could be made to sync stats. Strongly recommended.

Needs 8th player option
Seriously great app, but with the Cities expansion, it should be able to allow for an 8th player without using the Team option. My group plays with 8 people a good portion of the time.
Also wish it synced over various iOS devices. I switched to a mini iPad, and all my previous pay data was on the older iPad.

Fantastic companion to the game
Great work on the app. My favourite features of the app are the scientific calculator and the game score input (along with the historical statistics).
I would love to see an expanded card tree to include all the cards from the expansions as well as the base game. Also an ability to import and export data would be outstanding.

Must-have companion. Just needs sync
This is a fantastic and beautiful companion app for 7 Wonders. I use it all the time for scoring and it works equally well on iPad and iPhone. I love the statistics that it keeps.
The one thing that it is missing is a way to sync those stats across devices and to back them up. When I had to restore my iPhone recently and got a new iPad, I lost all of the scores that I'd accumulated over more than a year.
That aside, this is a model for board game companions.

Excellent hybrid experience!
One of the big reasons I love playing iOS boardgames is how I can track my plays and performance over time. The 7 Wonders Companion adds that experience to the game, all through a very simple and easy-to-use user interface.
One of my favorite things about the app is the way it handles end-of-game scoring. The player totals aren't displayed until the end of the scoring process, giving players the excitement of a final "reveal" if you aren't taking the time to add your score in your head. My family loves this.

Good but could still be improved
I like using this app to play and calculate the scores. I also really like that it keeps track of stats. It isn't as intuitive as I would have thought, especially for the science section and integrating the leaders into calculations. Otherwise I enjoy it.
One huge request would be to add functionality to sync between my iPhone and my iPad versions of the app.
