### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2026-06-21*

No direction on how to even use it

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for trying Count The Pigs! I’m sorry you’ve found it unclear how to use the app. Count The Pigs is a digital scoreboard for the physical game Pass The Pigs. To use the app, you simply add your players and then tap on the positions of the pigs to record your score as you play the physical game. I hope that helps. Kind regards, John

### 5/5 — Easy to use, great support

*2026-01-05, version 5.2*

Great app for keeping track of the score, easy to use!  Not to mention the great support from the developer.  5/5, this app is a double leaning jowler!

### 5/5 — Amazing app. Super useful for a fun night of pass the pigs.

*2026-01-02, version 5.1*

This app speeds up score taking by 10x I would highly recommend if you are a pass the pigs enjoyer. The developer is also super great and I am super excited for hog calling support! Thank you John! 5/5 App.

### 5/5 — Well designed for your pigs

*2025-04-09*

This app works so much better than having to have a paper and a pen, the in app purchase of $2 is fair if your going to use this app in a group larger than 2. The only thing I wish this app did (not the developers fault) is have a way to bypass paying through apple for the in app purchase. I have family sharing enabled and it’s been restricting me so much to be able to buy the premium features. I have some other apps where you can create a quick account online and pay using your card.

### 5/5 — Snout wrong with this app

*2025-01-10*

Fantastic simple app. Makes Pass the Pigs much less taxing for tired old brains and adds a tech angle for young brains. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Play to more than 100

*2024-06-04*

Would love an option to change what score we play to and an option for everyone to get one last roll after the first person passes the winning score

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-05-26*

Great App. 

The only thing I would change is to make it so that all of the scoring/tallying buttons  for a player fit on a single screen without having to scroll.

### 3/5 — Ok but could be so much better

*2024-05-18*

Here are my suggestions. 
Be able to look at history. 
Automatically move onto next player at end of turn. 
There’s potential for lots of interesting statistics.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2024-03-26*

Best app ever

### 5/5 — PtP

*2023-07-30*

Best pig based app on the market!

### 5.3 — 2026-01-13

Thanks for using Count The Pigs! This update improves support for Hog Calling. I've also stopped the game from automatically ending when a player reaches the target score; the remaining players now have the option of playing on to battle it out or you can simply tap the End Game button at any point to end the game. When there's only one player left in the game, he is given a final turn and then the game will end.
