Great job! ### 5/5 — Awesome niche app. *2020-02-10* Well thought out app that fills a niche. Better than paper and even small children can be the “swineherd.” Gladly purchased in app to add more players. ### 5/5 — Pig rolling perfection *2018-07-08* Much faster than paper! ### 5/5 — Nice app but needs some basic functions *2017-07-11* I like this app. It is pretty intuitive to use and it's perfect to scoring the pig game. I'm usually the family scorekeeper for that game and it moves so fast that scoring can be quite tedious. This app makes all that very easy. The only con to this app is you can't (or I haven't found it yet) reset all the players to zero. You have to actually go in to each players score card individually and hit the "Makin' Bacon" button to take their points away and make it zero. Other than that this app is perfect. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your kind words, I'm really pleased you're enjoying using Count The Pigs! You can reset all players to zero by tapping the trash can in the bottom left-hand corner of the Players screen. You will then be given the option of resetting all the scores, or deleting the player names to quickly start a new game with a different set of players. I hope that helps! Kind regards, John ### 5/5 — Love the app BUT let us toggle the sound *2017-06-04* We absolutely love this app but PLEASE let us toggle the sound to off within the app. We stream music wirelessly and it stops the music when the Oink sounds! **Developer response:** Hello, I'm really pleased that you love Count The Pigs! Thank you for the suggestion - there will be an update available shortly which will allow you to toggle the sound on and off by tapping on the pig in the bottom right-hand corner of the Players screen. Thanks again and I hope you'll soon be enjoying listening to your music uninterrupted while using Count The Pigs! Kind regards, John ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — pay to play *2023-05-20, version 3.0.1* u have to pay to add more than 2 people ### 1/5 — Doesn’t follow the rules *2022-07-04* It automatically erases the scores when the first person reaches 100. It doesn’t allow everyone a chance to beat it. :( **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for using Count The Pigs. The official rules of the game state “The first player to score 100 points wins the game” (source: https://winning-moves.com/images/PTP_Rule.pdf). It’s the way I’ve personally always played the game, although I appreciate you might want to continue playing to see who reaches 100 points 2nd, 3rd etc. I will look at possibly adding alternative ways to end the game in a future update if I can find a way to do it without sacrificing simplicity. Thanks again for your feedback! Kind regards, John ### 1/5 — terrible *2019-10-25* this game is awful **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for trying Count The Pigs. Is it the game you don’t like, or the app? I can’t do much about the game, but if you have any specific issues using the app then please let me know and I’ll be happy to help. Kind regards, John ### 2/5 — Running tally? *2019-08-28* It’s dumb that you can’t see the score/who has how many points as soon as one person hits 100 points. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for using Count The Pigs! If you update to the latest version, you will find that it now shows you every player's score when a game ends. Kind regards, John ### 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. ### 3/5 — Two changes makes this 5-stars *2016-10-31* Good app. Nice pics and easy to use. Need a button to clear banked points in case pigs touch each other. Also, there needs to be "banked points," "round points," and "total points" indicated. ### 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 ### 4/5 — Great *2020-05-30* The app is super helpful for keeping score, but it would be even better if we could change the game rules. We play so you can keep rolling after you hit 100 (so you can still pig out and not win) and everyone gets one last roll after someone wins to try and catch the person that goes out first. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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, version 4.5.1* Fantastic simple app. Makes Pass the Pigs much less taxing for tired old brains and adds a tech angle for young brains. Thank you! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2024-03-26, version 3.0.1* Best app ever ### 5/5 — PtP *2023-07-30* Best pig based app on the market! ### 5/5 — Subtract *2022-09-03* Need to be able to subtract with a mistake **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for using Count The Pigs! You can shake your phone to undo the last score added. I hope that helps! ### 5/5 — The perfect app *2021-01-30* It’s the perfect app for the game. It’s simple, it’s easy to use. It has examples in pictures, its completely self explanatory. They added a mute button correctly so if you’re playing music it doesn’t interfere with Bluetooth. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Makes PIGS more fun *2020-05-24* Makes pigs even more fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
