### 1/5 — Grade School Dropout

*2026-07-25*

This app rates an F. I laid out 6 dominoes and it failed to add up all the pips. Tried 3 times and it failed each time. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Pile

*2026-03-10*

This app counts the same tiles different every time. 
It Doesn’t matter what light setting or what angle you use, it just can’t decide what the total is   
We Tried it several times and could not get it to total the same twice In a row.  
It’s a pile, don’t waste your money.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback,
Please share with us some screenshots of the dominoes you are scanning to domino@claritystudio.com.mx so our team can provide you some guidance on how to reach more accurate results.
Best regards

### 1/5 — Lots of mistakes

*2024-12-29*

Too many mistakes to be able to use reliably. I just wasted 7$

**Developer response:** Hello Netskie, 
Please follow the scanning tips under the main menu for accurate results.

Please start by placing tiles on a piece of black felt to make it work perfectly

Or send us a screenshot with your problems to domino@claritystudio.com.mx, we’ll be more than happy to guide you into a great experience using this tool.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate Scan.

*2022-06-22*

I was happy thinking that I found the perfect scanning tool. I used it the very first day but it didn’t work properly. Very slow and inaccurate counts. I scanned more than five times trying to get the correct answer points, and all the times was different results. I will like to get a full refund for this purchased.

**Developer response:** Dear user,
Please share two or three screenshots where you are getting inaccurate results, so we can guide you on how to improve your experience.

It is important for us that you get the expected results in the same way than more than a thousand happy domino scanner users are getting.

You can send the screenshots directly to:
domino@claritystudio.com.mx 

Please include the model of the iPhone you are using.

Best regards

### 1/5 — Don’t have any black felt

*2022-01-12*

Pretty much useless—want a refund

**Developer response:** You can use any plain color surface. the darkest it could be, the accurate the result. try this piece of advice and you would be delightful with the help this tool provides specially with big amount of tiles where manually counting would be exhausting.

Thank you for your comments.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t count all the domino dots

*2020-10-17*

Very disappointed, especially since it’s a paid app.

**Developer response:** Hello, can you share with us more specific information, so we can help you to get a better result? Please send us an email to domino@claritystudio.com.mx including the iPhone model and if possible some screenshots with the scanning results. Also please review the Tips section on your app, this is a very good guide for improving scanning results. 
Thank you

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-06-28*

Of the 20 or so times I tried the app it was only correct once. First it counted reflections on the table. Then we put our dominos on a non reflective surface and the app counted random points that weren’t there on our white dominos. Flash on didn’t help.

**Developer response:** Please switch the lighting source within the application to day or night based on the time of the day, this features makes adjustment on the camera lens to regulate the light intensity. 
If the issue persist, please send us a screenshot to review your case to domino@claritystudio.com.mx  please include the iPhone model you used. 
Thank you.

### 1/5 — Does not scan too well

*2020-05-07*

Takes too long to scan, I can count the score during the time it takes to arrange the dominoes and scan with the app. Also does not recognize all dominoes right in front of the phone, but will recognize a small spot on the table and count it as a domino.

**Developer response:** Hi, as this is a real scanning tool, it detects any spot infront of it. please put the dominoes in a dark and opaque surface and you will see a big improvement on speed and accuracy. I hope you enjoy this tool by following this peace of advice. Thank you for your comments

### 5/5 — Accurate scan

*2020-09-05*

Fast and extremely accurate! Easy to use. Placing tiles on a piece of black felt works perfectly!!

### 4/5 — Love It!

*2026-01-14*

I love how easy this app makes counting pips in dominoes. The only things I would like would be to have the option to add player photos to their profiles and to keep game histories. I play with the same group of people all the time and wish I could review past games.

**Developer response:** That sounds like a great idea, will consider it for our next version.
Thank you for your comments Eville,

Clarity Team

### 4/5 — Adjuster

*2025-10-11*

Wish there was a way to adjust the total through an add/subtract and reset to original scan button.  Occasionally it misses pips, or includes additional pips not there and need to fine tune with some adjustments.

**Developer response:** Hi Wido! Thank you so much for your feedback. Just a quick tip: while tracking your score, you can actually tap and edit the scanned values manually to make sure everything is perfect.

We’d love to hear more about the specific case you ran into to keep improving the scanner. Could you send us an email at domino@claritystudio.com.mx? We’re here to help!

Best regards,
The Clarity Studio Team.

### 4/5 — Saves time, can be finicky

*2021-02-24*

Works great most times. There is an art to getting it to capture all the dots.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments, that is the idea, to saves time and be useful for everyone

### 4/5 — Funciona muy bien PERO...

*2020-07-27*

He usado todas las aplicaciones de este tipo y esta es la única que siempre cuenta sin errores, si agregaran la función de llevar la cuenta de los jugadores sería perfecta!

**Developer response:** Gracias por tus comentarios, nos da gusto saber que es de utilidad nuestra aplicación.
Estamos considerando tu opinión para futuras versiones.
Gracias.

### 4/5 — Good Scanning tool but...

*2020-05-03*

Good tool for scanning the domino’s dot but still missing the actual game score. The final idea should be not to use paper for the game score

**Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion, we will consider your recommendation for future versions

### 3/5 — Can still improve, bought it though

*2022-02-03*

nice app when works with 28 double six dominoes!! a new game changer for dominoes play game!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments, glad to hear it is useful.
