My copy doesn’t work
I must be missing something. I can’t get a board to show up to record the game. It lets me set up the scoresheet but I cannot figure out how to actually use the app. I’m sure I missed something obvious but I can’t seem to find it.
good app but needs fixing for accessibility, board not accessible to voiceover users
Hi,
I'm a blind chess player. I just purchaced chess score pad on the ios app-store. So far i'm liking it, however I did come across a major bug for blind voiceover, apple's screenreader, users such as myself. When it comes time to write the notation of the game; this is not possible, as voiceover doesn't read the board at all, making it impossible to enter notation or moves. Would it be possible to make this part of the app accessible, weather by making the board accessible with voiceover, or by allowing moves to be entered via notation, i.e, e4 e5 nf3 etc?
This seems like a really useful app for blind players but if the board accessibility could be improved I'd greatly appreciate it. Personally from experiense at least for blind players, having the ability to enter the moves via notation would be easier and faster.
If you want to take a look at how this works, go into lichess.org, enable the blind mode and try entering moves by not ation.
Looking forward to your reply.

Great App for Over the board chess!
I have been using this app for several years. It’s great for recording games and allowing review on your own or with friends. It also converts the game to.pgn format and is very easy to email games to yourself or your opponent for further analysis.
Just use paper.
Missing way too many features for the price.
Flaky screen controls
This app is not highly polished. It seems to support IPad, but the screen controls are very flaky. You must repeatedly attempt to open the menu or move your pieces. Cost me a tournament game.
Nice little app!
Simple design and it works for what I need it for. Not much else to say. I hope the developer(s) continue to maintain it and even add to it over time.
Clunky and not intuitive
But it seems to be the only score sheep out there. Useful but could be better.
Electronic Chess Score Pad
Fabulous product! We all know what a hassle it is to enter game notations with pen and paper. Not only is it easy to screw them up but it’s distracting. This app completely ends that problem. Very intuitive. Even better, you can create a PGN file and download it into Chess.com for analysis. Due to my technological ineptitude, I was having some problems with creating and entering the PGN file so I contacted the developer, Roger Carey, who went way out of his way to help me out. Great guy! For what it’s worth, this is the first review I’ve ever written for anything.

Can we get different board colors
Any chance to get different board colors or at least lighten the dark green squares a little? The black pieces kind of get lost against the dark green background is my only complaint and I really like using the app. This would make it better.
Great for postal tournaments!
Don't want to keep a dozen chess boards set up? Record your games here, and take with you. Legal for all sanctioning organizations, no analysis, chess no engine.
Best App for Scoring Games
Easy to use, great export functions.
App is great.
Great job.
Love this app!
Does everything in an efficient and intuitive fashion, I’m amazed I never found this before. You must get tons of suggestions, I was wondering if you might include the ability to add ??, !!, !? And ?! notations to moves. This would greatly help with later analysis. It is wonderful to see a developer that provides regular feedback to customers. Thank you again for the wonderful app!

Looks good so far
We got the app. It looks good so far. Two comments:
1. I couldn’t use ‘Save to Files’ in iPad if the result is draw (1/2).
2. Didn’t see the option to load a game.

Needs work
It shows my own pieces checking my own King.
It does not show when I check my opponent’s King.

Application Review
Great app. The convenience of recoding moves is fantastic. Two suggestions for the developer:
1. It would be great to be able to save games in .pgn format automatically.
1. See if you can get this app approved for USCF tournaments.
