### 5/5 — Please update!!!!!

*2018-01-30, version 1.4.1*

Got to update to OS11

### 5/5 — Actualicen la App

*2018-01-07, version 1.4.1*

Es la mejor herramienta para los juegos de mesa en mi casa, pero necesito actualización de inmediato

### 5/5 — Update to iOS 11

*2017-10-08, version 1.4.1*

Tried to leave a review from my iPhone on the dev website but needed a plug-in to run the captcha. Been using the Game Tools app for years and just realized it wasn’t updated and will no longer work with iOS 11. Hope you will consider an update or a new app release with updated graphics and functionality. Thanks

### 4/5 — Absolutely perfect! Please update!

*2017-08-07, version 1.4.1*

This app does what it advertises, and very well. I love how you can add multiple dice, set a timer or keep track of scores all in one place!! Two things that would make this a 5 star app for me and my game-crazy family. #1. Being able to switch the order of the players and deselect if not playing or dropped out, I would love to just imput names once then organize it according to who goes first next and so on so I'm not scrolling through ten names after every persons turn. Also for the scoring, add a five point button, 5 points is awarded in many games and I was surprised it wasn't there from the start. Add these two things and you have a 10 star app (well technically 5 but I'd go to 10 if I could on this one), really.

Update: I used this recently and it's gonna go out of commission with the new iOS-please update it and I will continue to use it!!

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2015-04-17, version 1.4.1*

Simple perfect nice app five stars all day

### 1/5 — Almost...

*2015-03-05, version 1.4.1*

Can't set or reset game and round timers. Paid for app thinking maybe this was a paid feature, but no. Also, ads no longer on my iPad, but still showing on my iPhone. You want me to pay for the app again?!  Tried to contact developers for support--can't do it from an iOS device due to CAPTCHA code plugin.  Ugh...Crazy. If the above were fixed, I would suggest the following:  1) the ability to set your own number increments would be nice for scoring, and 2) add more sounds to timer (including a record your own feature).

### 2/5 — Awful Score Keeper

*2014-09-16, version 1.4.1*

As one reviewer noted, the score keeper is AWFUL. You can't see where you're typing a persons name AND you have to hit delete several times to delete the initial text of "Player #" if you don't want all or part of it as the player name. Also, adding to the score is cumbersome. You have to tap multiples of ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. No multiples of fives. I'd rather have a numerical keypad. I do not expect the paid version to be any better so I won't be buying the ad free version. I may not even use this. :-P

### 4/5 — Good

*2014-06-19, version 1.4.1*

Useful app

### 5/5 — Must have for family Game Night

*2013-08-11, version 1.4.1*

Has everything you need for keeping score and the small game pieces that tend to disappear. Love it!

### 5/5 — Great apps

*2013-07-31, version 1.4.1*

We always have a willing score keeper on Friday night game nights with this app.
