Can't add up!

Lovely looking app and brilliant functionality. However it does not add up scores correctly, so all statistics are incorrect. Also it will not let you add which boards you are using manually. Disappointing

Not quite complete

In theory this looks like an awesome companion app for 7 Wonders. But tried to use it for the last game I played and we had to pull the pad out and score by hand. Some of the victories points couldn't be added because the app wouldn't allow selecting them. Also wording of wonder points makes it sound like you should select the number of wonder stages completed, but you need to select the total VPs from the wonder.

Great app

This app is great for speeding up the scoring process and keeping track of game stats. One bug I've noticed though is that the tiebreaker is wrong when you look at saved games. The tiebreaker came out right at the end of the game when it displayed the final points. However, when I went to look at the game history the order was reversed and the person with less coins was shown as the winner. Also, it would be nice if you could see the individual records of each category in the stats. All in all a great companion to the game.

Great App

I love this app. Well worth the 2 bucks. The only thing is I have noticed a bug when scoring with the cities expansion. Even if a player scores 0 points in the cities category and it is recorded as such there on the next screen when it ranks the players it will often have a score for that category and you have to go back and fix. Once rescored it seems to work fine. I think it may be using the score in that category from the previous game for the boards in the same position. Often the score card is greyed out for this category before you enter a score but will still display 0. Looking forward to the fix. Again very well designed and very helpful and useful.

Great app but the score isn't calculated correctly!

I want to give this 5 stars but the total scores calculated for my game are not correct! Adding up the score for each category captured in the app does not equal the total score shown. This means the wrong person is shown as the winner. This is pretty crucial for a scorer app! Please release a bug fix so I can give 5 stars! :(

Great buy if you play 7 Wonders frequently

My friends and I love playing 7 Wonders and this app makes the experience a lot more interesting. The statistics are very cool to look at, the descriptions for some of the symbols is helpful, and the additional 3 Wonders are incredibly fun. While I wasn't initially thrilled with the additional cost after buying the three games, it proved its worth and now I love it!

Too many crashes

I love the idea of this app. I still use it sometimes to randomly select boards for players. It is still useful for the symbology guide and scientific calculator. I will not use it to keep score as it seems to crash about 20 to 25 percent of the time. It also crashes at the worst possible time: after entering everyone's points, right before it gives you the results. I have spent too much time using this app to score a game, only to have it crash and having to add up everything again. If it were fixed so that it didn't crash, this would be a wonderful app.

Number of games won still not correct

You've almost got all the major bugs squashed but 'Games Won' is still not accurate. Specifically, if two players finish with the same score, the tie is broken by the player with more coins. The 'Games Won' stat records a win for BOTH players and that should not be. Their stats also reflect that both players finished in Position #1. Not sure that is accurate either since one of them technically finished in 2nd place. This means that Position stats for the rest of the players in these games would be wrong as well.

The only other bug I've found is when your Wonder gives you a Science wild card, you have to manually add it to the Science scoring section. This may not technically be a bug, but it would be nice if it automatically did this for you so you don't have to remember to do it.

Other than that, this app is great and continues to improve with each update. Keep up the good work!

Great app, one thing missing

In general I think this is a great app. To my knowledge no other board game had this sort of companion app. And as far as I can tell pretty much all of the issues in previous versions have been fixed. That being said, there's one feature that's missing, and is keeping this review from being five stars:

Syncing. I have an iPad and an iPhone, and I would love to be able to sync stats between them. Admittedly this is a rather small feature that would only appeal to those with multiple iOS devices, but I could also see it being useful to people who always play with a specific group of friends. That way, I'd they play using multiple devices, they can sync their group's stats.

Otherwise, terrific app.

What Every Board Game Needs: EDIT

Wow. I've never been so amazed by a board game companion app! Beautifully designed, elegant and visually perfect. The bonus wonder is a wonderful touch! The only thing that would improve this app would be a symbology guide!

EDIT 8/1/12

There is a symbology guide! Amazing. There is one issue. The new Wonder Boards show up in another language when tapping on the stages of the wonders. All the previous wonder stages on the boards are in English, but not the new ones! Amazing again and thanks for the quick update!

EDIT 8/9/12

A week later and the bugs are fixed! I can't wait to see more from this company!!!
