## What is HornScore?

Field judge like a pro.

HornScore turns your iPhone into a scoring tool. Whether you're glassing a bull at 400 yards or
green-scoring a buck on the tailgate, HornScore gives you the numbers — and shows you exactly where
they came from.

Version 2.0 is a complete, ground-up rebuild. Native. Fast. Designed for iOS 26.


THE FIELD JUDGING SUITE

HORNMATCH — Compare to real animals.
The fastest way to judge an animal is to put it next to one you already know. HornMatch searches
real scored animals — your own, the curated HornScore Library, and the community — and lets you
filter down by score, total points, mass, age, and rack configuration until you find the match.
Save your estimate as a range, or carry the comparable's measurements into the calculator and refine
from there.

HORNCALC — Break down every number.
A full scoring calculator with live net-score computation, typical and non-typical racks, bilateral
measurements, and deductions you can actually see. Species guides and anatomical references are one
tap away, without leaving your score. Pull a reference animal up side by side and copy its values in.

HORNTRACE — Measure straight from a photo.
Set your scale against an anatomical reference of known length, trace the measurement on your photo,
and get an estimate. A guided walkthrough gets you through your first one fast.


SCORE ANYTHING, ANYWHERE

- Boone & Crockett and SCI scoring systems
- Harvest scoring with full measurement breakdowns
- Field estimates when you don't have hands on the animal
- Drafts that resume exactly where you left off
- Edit any score, any time, without starting over
- Rescore any animal you see


WORKS WITHOUT SERVICE

Because the backcountry doesn't have LTE. Species guides, measurement diagrams, your own scores, and
the curated HornScore Library all live on your phone. Downloads sync themselves — and you control
exactly what's on your device, species by species, from a single screen.


THE COMMUNITY

- A feed of real animals with real scores
- Direct messages with the hunters you follow
- Guess the Score — post your animal, hide the number, let people take their shot
- Follow, comment, and discover verified hunters
- Branded, full-resolution score cards built for sharing


HORNSCORE PRO

Unlock the complete Field Judging suite — HornMatch, HornCalc, and HornTrace — plus advanced
rescoring, advanced filtering, and detailed measurement breakdowns on every public score. Monthly
and annual plans, with a free trial for new members.

Download HornScore and score your next one right.

### 5/5 — Awesome!  Awesome files judging app

*2026-06-09*

I really love this app. I’ve tried several of the AI apps out there and they are terrible.  This app uses solid field judging principles and tools to make you a better hunter.  Honestly the AI apps are so bad they make you a worse field judger because you don’t know what is right and wrong. If you are serious about hunting big game, you need this app.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-10-01*

After messing around on the app for a few hours the way i feild gudge animals has completely change it has helping me hone in on a few skills and made deciding whether animals are shooters or not way easier!

### 1/5 — App does not work.

*2025-09-19*

Downloaded the app in hopes of using it. Subscribed to it and I cannot even do anything on the app. Only asks me to login then I select what I want to do. It then asks me to login, I login and it is just this repetitive cycle of logging in, selecting what I want to do then login again. Nothing works.

**Developer response:** I am are sorry you’re experiencing this issue and for the inconvenience it’s caused. Please email us at support@hornscore.com and I’ll share my direct phone number so we can help you resolve it. This is a bug that a couple of users have experienced, and we believe it’s fixed in the upcoming update. In the meantime, we should still be able to help you resolve it right now if you reach out.

### 5/5 — Field Judging Analysis

*2025-08-10*

HornScore is an awesome tool for judging the size of all kinds of animals you find! I personally have a minimum score for most animals I chase, and HornScore allows me to film an animal, then analyze exactly what I’m looking at!

### 5/5 — Awesome for hunters!

### 5/5 — Incredible resource for any and every hunter

*2025-07-22*

Not only is this app/tool a one stop shop for learning and perfecting field judging, but it also is a community of likeminded hunters posting and sharing similar content.  Very excited about this app.

### 5/5 — You need this app

*2025-07-22*

Have you ever suffered from ground shrinkage? This app will fix that. 

 What an awesome app! So much easier than pulling out the notebook and pen to figure scores or trying to add it up in your head.

Whether you are a beginner or have been guiding for years, take the time to learn how to use the app to learn how to use the app to its fullest potential.

Get proficient at accurately field judging animals from actual data sets. Yes it will take effort on your part, but the hard work is already been put into the app. Don’t let ground shrinkage be part of your life.

### 5/5 — 👌🏼

*2025-07-16*

I have been looking for something like this.  This app makes field judging and scoring much easier!  I also love the public scores and being able to look through all the different animals!

### 5/5 — Super useful tool.

*2025-07-15*

I’ve enjoyed using the app so far.  Has everything from education, to scoring tools, to social features. Next to OnX ,I think this will be another must have hunting app that is standard on serious hunters phones.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4.8 — 2026-08-29

Fixes and improvements

• Fixed a layout problem that could cut off text on your profile. If your
  banner photo was wide, the profile could render wider than the screen and
  crop the edge of your bio.

• Fixed Horn Help subtotals showing 0 instead of adding up your points.

• Fixed the quick guess keypad not accepting input, and the calculator not
  opening again afterward.

• Feed posts now show when they were published instead of when they were
  created, so the dates match the order they appear in.

• The photo picker now tells you when HornScore can only see some of your
  photos, and lets you add more without leaving the app.

• Redesigned the measurement help sheet with a larger photo and clearer
  instructions.

• Moved the score badge on comparison photos so it no longer covers the
  antlers.

• You can now use the photo and score grid while the measurement keypad is
  open.

• Layout fixes in Messages on smaller phones.

### 2.4.4 — 2026-08-27

Ask the community for help judging (HornHelp)
HornHelp is now fully available. Mark one of your posts "Looking for Help" and hunters can weigh in on the field judging. And now you can go back and edit your request after you've submitted it — fix a measurement or add detail without starting over. When you see a post from someone who wants help, just tap the "Need help judging" prompt to lend a hand.
A cleaner, more useful feed
- Posts now show how long ago they were shared with a clear age badge on the photo.
- Follow a hunter right from their post with a single tap, and use the menu on any post to share or report it.
- The feed is now ordered by when a post actually went live — newest first, every time.
Publishing with confidence
- Before you share, a clear confirmation shows you exactly what's going out and who can see it — no more surprises after you tap publish.
- Adding a hunt without scores now becomes a photo post instead of a confusing scoreless score.
Field judging improvements
- HornTrace and HornMatch now have clear icons so you can tell them apart at a glance.
- The scoring sheet stays put while you're typing measurements — no more jumping around.
Plus smaller fixes — smoother comment threads, video scrubbing that works again, a profile albums grid that stops clearing itself, and a more reliable sign-out.

### 2.4.1 — 2026-08-20

Protects your work and makes posting more reliable:

• Fixed a crash that closed the app at launch when you had no signal.
• Your media now uploads before anything else, so nothing is lost if an upload fails.
• New video trimmer catches videos that are too large or too long before you post.
• Posting is clearer: Save instead of Share, you choose who sees each post, and skipping the score sheet offers a photo post with an estimate instead.
• You're only asked for a cover photo on your first item.
• Fixed gray boxes on shared scores and smoother HornMatch sliders.

### 2.2.1 — 2026-08-08

Net score on every animal — Typical and Non-Typical net side-by-side, computed live from your measurements, with the full record-book breakdown a tap away (Pro).

Sharper, smarter cover photos — your first piece of media is your cover, now stored at full quality so posts stay crisp in the grid, feed, and when shared. Crop a cover for any photo, and for videos pick the exact frame you want. Change a cover and your grid and shared image update right away.

HornMatch refresh — after you field-judge, a new "What's Next" payoff screen with a customizable score range, and your own scores now show up alongside the reference animals.

Drafts, reimagined — a dedicated Drafts section on your profile plus the home strip. Resume any in-progress score, and everything autosaves as you go so nothing is lost.

Pro score filters — filter the feed by score criteria, gated by species.

Refreshed profile — Posts | Drafts | Albums, plus Harvest / Field-Judge badges on posts.

Faster & more reliable
- Rock-solid video posts — large clips compress automatically, and if one's too big you get a clear heads-up instead of a post that quietly loses your video.
- Major photo picker overhaul — instant thumbnails, big memory and crash fixes when adding lots of media (including a collection-enter crash), no more "No Media" stuck screen, smoother scrolling.
- Cleaner editing — reorder media and set covers with clear labels; your chosen cover shows in the media tray and hero.
- Comparison, unified — the scrubber, pager, and confirm now live in one clean bottom rail.
- Smoother navigation — moving between posts and into profiles is snappier, and deep links open reliably from a cold start.
- Fixed photo-attachment crashes in Messages.
- Offline species-library downloads are more reliable.
- Reliable species search; sharing a scoresheet image no longer hangs; shared covers now match your post and the web.
- More accurate scoring (Greatest Spread), a first-keystroke fix on prefilled cells, steadier comparison sheets, better draft media saving, record-book detail on posts, accessibility improvements, and dozens of stability and polish fixes.
- Thanks to our testers — a huge number of these came straight from your feedback.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-07-25

What's New in 2.1.0

Field judging just leveled up — plus polish and fixes across the app.

• Compare while you score. Pull real animals up right alongside your field-judge calculator. Tap a measurement to bring it in, long-press to fine-tune, or grab them all at once — then Transfer the values straight into your score.

• Manage your membership anywhere. Upgrade and manage your subscription right from the website, with a smoother, native checkout.

• Better sign-in & account controls. Link Google or Apple to an existing account, a cleaner flow for social logins, and a clearer, more secure account-deletion process.

• Sharing that looks right. Shared links now preview properly in Messages, with the option to attach your score-card image.

• Smoother creating & editing. Improved photo cropping for covers, banners, and profile pictures; profile photo changes now show instantly; and posting only asks for media when it's actually needed.

• Lots of fixes. More reliable comparison filters, faster video handling, and dozens of smaller stability and polish improvements.

Thanks for using HornScore — keep the feedback coming!
