User reviews

App closes when trying save

Nice app except for saving pin settings. When it ask to change password app closes and does not save new password. App also closes when trying to input the default password.

Response from developer

Thank you for liking the app but please contact me about bugs directly rather than leaving a mediocre review. I have been recently made aware of this bug from another user and am currently working on a fix. If you can email me what type of iPhone you are using and version of iOS that would be helpful and appreciated.

No more annoying cut sheets

Who does math by hand anymore? This app saves you from having to ever fill out a bitting chart again. Quick and easy!

Awesome app

This app pays for itself over and over and over. Iโ€™ve rekeyed 4 casinos and a airport using this handy app cuts my bitting generation times in half. The control finder is an added bonus in tight situations as well. Thanks Phil!

Great tool

I have about all of Phil's apps they are great time savers, I also enjoy the option to email my results.

Great app

Great app, it is very well thought out. It's interface/layout/GUI whatever you call it in an app is intuitive and attractive. Works very well, I do not do the math for A2 systems often enough to be fast at it and this app is great in the field.

Still the best!!
