### 5/5 — Simple & Easy

*2024-05-24*

Very easy to use.  Just like one of those cardboard/plastic flip-scoreboards, just on your iphone. Can set the match up for 3 to 99 games, recognizes Crawford Round.

### 5/5 — Intuitive app

*2024-01-26*

Don’t know what to say other than I downloaded it and setup a match in less than a minute. Works great. 

Thank you dev

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to!

*2021-05-27, version 2.0.0*

A great little app that isn’t too flashy — just right. Trying to integrate a timer would just be cumbersome, in my opinion. 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect

*2018-01-20, version 1.0*

I got this because I didn't want to spend $45 on one of those flip type score boards and I am glad I did.

This app does what it's supposed to do very well. 
Everyone at my local backgammon club likes it and asks how to get it. I use it on my iPod and I made a little stand out of foam board that fits in the compartment the cube and dice are stored.

I thought that a timer would be a good addition for it but after a little thought I decided it wouldn't be practical on a iPod or iPhone.

The only change I would make is having more color choices because the lettering for Crawford game notices can be hard to notice at times.

### 3/5 — BG scoreboard

*2016-06-30, version 1.0*

A long overdue app. Traditional BG scoreboards are expensive and cumbersome. This app could be improved by speeding up the response of the score buttons and to make it truly useful, it needs to be combined with a BG clock. Both functions in one screen would make it invaluable.
