## What is Cardigan?

A score pad for your favourite card games: Hearts, 500 and Scopa.

One person keeps score for the table. Enter each hand as it ends and Cardigan does the adding up.

It checks every hand before saving it, so a mistake is caught while everyone still remembers who took what. In Hearts, the hearts must come to 13 and one player takes the queen of spades. In 500, you enter one team's tricks and it works out the other's. In Scopa, you tap who took the cards, coins, settebello and primiera, and add each side's scope.

Every hand is kept. Look back during the game or after it, and undo the last hand if you got it wrong. Cardigan tracks who deals, and in Hearts which way to pass.

Set your table's rules once:
• Hearts: the target score, and whether the jack of diamonds takes 10 off
• 500: when the other team scores its tricks, and whether taking all ten scores at least 250
• Scopa: a target of 11, 16, 21 or 31, and whether re bello and napola count

Each game's full rules are in the app.

Hearts for 3 to 8 players, 500 for 4 or 6, Scopa for 2, 3, 4 or 6.

No ads, no subscription, no account. It works offline, and your games stay on your phone.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-13

You can now score Scopa. Tap who took the cards, coins, settebello and primiera, add each side's scope, and Cardigan does the sums. For 2, 3, 4 or 6 players, playing to 11, 16, 21 or 31, with re bello, napola and anticlockwise dealing for tables that use them.

Also new:
• A short walkthrough the first time you play Scopa
• Drawn diagrams on the Hearts, 500 and Scopa rules pages
• A hand-drawn look: hatched buttons, colours tinted to your scheme
• 500 now plays six-handed
• The app icon follows your colour scheme
• 500 games on the Games list show the two team names
• Show or hide 500's bid and trick lines in a game

### 1.1 — 2026-09-29

You can now score 500 as well as Hearts: bids, contracts and a full game to 500.

Also new:
• Settings: rules, privacy, feedback and appearance in one place
• Five colour schemes, in Settings > Preferences
• Send feedback by email, or rate Cardigan, from the app
• A short walkthrough before your first Hearts game

Fixed: VoiceOver labels on Settings, Privacy and Feedback, and the scoreboard no longer clips at the largest text sizes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-18

• Share a finished game's scores with your group, straight from the results screen.
• A new app icon.
• Entering a score now tells you what's still missing before you can save.
• Undo asks before it removes a round.
• Round numbers stay in view in big games, and everything reads properly at larger text sizes.
• If something fails to save or load, the app now tells you.

Please note: this update starts fresh. Games and settings from version 1.0 aren't carried over. If you'd turned off "Share anonymous usage data", switch it off again in Rules → Configure.
