### 5/5 — Accurately counts!

*2026-08-19, version 3.4*

Saves a lot of time counting up scores at the end. It does count multiple/stacked cards (eg the common toad and hares). Has been accurate for us across three games!

### 5/5 — Wird immer perfekter!

*2026-07-27*

Vielen, vielen Dank für diese großartige App! Mittlerweile würde ich dafür auch bezahlen bzw. fände es gut, wenn der Hersteller Euch dafür bezahlen würde, dass er die App in der Spiele-Anleitung anpreisen darf! Toll gemacht!

### 5/5 — makes scoring a breeze

*2026-07-16, version 3.2*

id argue this app is essential for this game!

### 5/5 — Can’t scan trees with more than 4 cards attached

*2026-06-13, version 2.2*

I love FS but really dread the post-game scoring, which sometimes seems to take as long as the game itself. So I was sooo excited to find this app! Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be able to account for trees with more than 4 cards attached to them, which invalidates the entire scoring macro. Even if we have to add them manually, the ability to add larger trees is critical! I hope future versions will include it. Or if there is already a way to do it, it was not intuitive and I couldn’t find app instructions to refer back to after the first-use wizard. Please keep improving this app that has fantastic potential!

### 4/5 — Tolle App, bitte Erfassung der Mitspieler per QR-Code reparieren

*2026-06-07*

Tolle App, leider funktioniert die Erfassung des Kartensatzes der Mitspieler per QR-Code nicht mehr.

### 5/5 — Must have!

*2026-04-30, version 2.2*

### 5/5 — A must have

*2026-02-16, version 2.2*

### 5/5 — Super hilfreich!

*2026-02-06*

Aber wann kommt die Smart Counter App für Dartmoor?!?
Das wäre ein Traum!
