### 5/5 — Terrific

*2021-08-04, version 2.5*

This is so good because the person who used to keep score can't cheat anymore. Ha Ha
Great, wonderful, excellent...

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2020-10-28, version 2.5*

Kudos for the developer in creating and maintaining this app.  Been using it for years and it has been an added pleasure in our hand and foot games with family and friends.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-06-25, version 2.5*

I love this app and I find it very customizable. I was able to set it up for our version of the game. The only thing missing was the team difference total after each hand so I just put Team 1 total in the meld box in one of the unused columns and the Team 2 total in the Hand box (which is subtracted) in that extra column and we get the hand difference and it is saved when we update to start a new hand.

### 5/5 — Really great app

*2020-03-26, version 2.5*

I have been using this app for a few years and really like it. The other day my wife wanted me to set it up for hand and foot 20 for 2  three person teams. I got everything to work except it will only go for for hands instead of 5. Which is not a real issue. Bottom line is it a really well written and flexible program.

### 5/5 — Hand and Foot Score Sheet

*2019-07-29, version 2.5*

Excellent score sheet for my old iPad.

### 5/5 — Worked great until the end

*2019-04-05, version 2.5*

We used it until the end of the game...  we forgot to put in who went out and we could not go back to change it to finish the game.  Frustrating after enduring a long game of hand and foot. I love the idea of this app.

### 5/5 — Ok, but.....

*2019-03-21, version 2.5*

Sometimes we run out of cards and no one can go out, but the score card won’t let you either go to the next round or start a new game unless someone goes out, which means someone gets more points for nothing.

### 5/5 — Score App. For Hand & Foot Card game.

*2019-03-12, version 2.5*

Love this app. Too much stress trying to add scores, this takes a load off scorekeeper and eliminates addition mistakes.

### 5/5 — Hand and Foot Scorecard

*2018-12-25, version 2.5*

My friends have been using this tool on their IPads for years when we play Hand and Foot. It is excellent! Now I have an IPad so it is the first app I installed 😁

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2016-09-13, version 2.5*

I have been using this app for a while now - I had written to the developer for some help in using, got an immediate answer and even an update with a few tweeks.  This is the best app ever for keeping score on hand and foot!  I love that you can go back and look at the score history for older games, keeps us on our toes trying to outdo our best scores to date.  I would highly recommend this to all, and have recommended it to my friends that play with me, even if we can only use one scorekeeper at a time!

### 5/5 — Hand &a Foot score App

*2016-08-29, version 2.5*

Used for the first time tonight and all 4 people loved the ease of keeping score with this app. Now everyone wants to keep score.  Agree it would be nice to be able to know the difference in the score between two teams.  Great app that I would score a ten out of a possible ten.

### 5/5 — Great Idea

*2016-07-29, version 2.5*

Used this last night for the first time.  Loved it! I like being able to customize the scoring.  Saved us a lot of time counting - everyone is asking where the can get it.

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2016-06-23, version 2.3*

Is there any way to replace Option 1, 2 etc with an actual name? Other than that it's a GREAT app....

### 5/5 — H&F scores

*2016-06-07, version 2.3*

We love using this app. My wife and I play several couples and we love having the app right there on the iPad. Would love to have a Fifth round when we play 5 rounds but this works great... A+ job!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-10-28, version 2.5*

Tried using this but ended up having to use a pencil and pad to keep score. Did not allow for entering negative scores for cards left in hand and foot at end of round. Why is optional entries only allowed to be multiples of 5?

### 2/5 — Options ?

*2018-11-01, version 2.5*

We meld 210.... Can we increase this?

More meld points inserts....60..90..120..150..180..210?

### 2/5 — Not good

*2014-12-31, version 2.0*

Way better before the upgrade! Over lapping with loss of points when the iPad goes quite. It was great before, should have left it alone.

### 3/5 — Cursor problem

*2022-03-10, version 2.10*

Ever since the last update, the cursor has been missing.  When you tap to put in a score it does not show up.  It’s very hard to tell if you are in the correct space.

**Developer response:** As soon as the missing cursor issue was reported, I was able to fix it immediately.  The cursor should not be an issue.  Please let me know if it still persists for you.  Thanks.

### 3/5 — Hand & Foot

*2015-01-13, version 2.1*

This score card is ok, but very different from the game we play. It'll work but we have to modify it.

### 3/5 — Need more customization!!!!

*2014-11-09, version 1.5*

Would love to be able to customize the rules more.  For instance we play where black three's count as a negative 300 points.  Please make the scoring section a little bit more user friendly to customize point values

### 3/5 — Black 3's

*2014-02-08, version 1.5*

There are no black three values. We play with Red & Black 3's penalties. Red -500 points and Black -300 points.

### 4/5 — Landscape mode

*2023-07-14, version 2.11*

I love the app.  I do wish I could use it in landscape mode.  I do everything on my iPad in landscape.  Thanks for your consideration.

### 4/5 — Great score keeper

*2017-07-10, version 2.5*

This score keeper has really come in handy for scoring our hand-and-foot games. It is especially useful because of the settings which allow you to set the score card up for your particular variation of the game. One such setting I would like to see is an option to display the difference in the scores. We always play men vs women and someone is always asking "how much are we ahead by"?
Also, a nice feature would be to select a game from the history (one that was not finished) and retrieve the game so we can finish it.

### 4/5 — Pretty good, versatile

*2017-07-08, version 2.5*

Works well and I love the customization to accommodate everyone's style of playing.  However, the interface seems overly cluttered and complicated.

*2025-03-19, version 2.11*

Hard to find a customizable hand and foot scorecard, this is awesome

I found the app so helpful. Very easy to use. The developer was extremely responsive to my question.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2022-10-20, version 2.11*

This is the best app. I hate it when I forget to bring my iPad and can’t keep score on this app.

### 5/5 — Very customizable and easy to use

*2022-08-27, version 2.11*

I’ve been played for a couple years using pen and paper but I thought I could try using a app it’s working really well and I can the values of cards number of teams and players as well as customizing to add values of cards that I want. It’s a really great app for the game.

### 5/5 — Hand and Foot

*2022-02-09, version 2.9*

We have enjoyed this scoring program. The only suggestion I have is to add a color change feature. Thank you.

### 5/5 — NICE

*2022-02-09, version 2.10*

I had made my own spread sheet and had lost it, due to computer changes. I found this and it is great.

Thanks

### 5/5 — Can’t see cursor

*2022-02-07, version 2.9*

With the latest update you cannot see the cursor when you’re entering scores into the blocks. Also with the latest update the font is not visible on the “update” and “new game” buttons. Other than that, great app!

### 5/5 — Awful

*2022-02-07, version 2.9*

Contrast is horrible

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2022-02-02*

I found the app so helpful. Very easy to use. The developer was extremely responsive to my question.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-11-27, version 2.7*

Easy to use and customize. Love it
