### 4/5 — Good app with 1 problem

*2026-01-03*

The team files don’t reset after each quarter for some reason, that column is blank

### 4/5 — V v good for a free app

*2025-06-17*

This app is a little tricky to master but once you’ve figured it out it’s a very thorough stat keeping app with all sorts of more complicated stuff such as assist to t/o ratio, eff +/- etc.

It’s v difficult to enter the info at game speed but it is possible to review the play by play entries and correct mistakes after the game if you have a video to compare with.

I have found I need both team’s rosters entered to accurately keep the stats so it takes some work to setup. 

For an under-8 team I think this app might be too complex but for more serious teams and older age groups it’s good.

The app doesn’t email me an excel version of the stats despite saying it does, though you can get it to send a .csv file which can be exported as an excel file if you don’t mind fiddling with it.

### 2/5 — Visitor roster a pain

*2023-01-29*

Looks good but can’t use as a parent as I can’t figure out how to start game without adding opposition roster. I only want our teams stats but no option to allocate to team instead of a player on roster.

### 2/5 — No longer supported?

*2022-12-11*

I want to like this app.  And it’s free… So cannot be too critical.  But there’s no more support and the basketball app lacks an easy help button or other to explain a few things. If you want to get detailed with the stats and do the work to accurately track substitutions and PT, it’s difficult to have confidence in the analytics.  For example, why do team stats show the same rotations multiple times with different analytics? Can I have confidence in P/M?  

I’m continuing to use it because we started the season with it (Varsity).  I doubt we’ll do so next season because it seems we might wake up one day and find out it longer sync’s with the servers.  No support today, maybe no functioning tomorrow?

### 4/5 — First timer

*2022-11-30*

This is the first time I’ve used software like this and I like and will like it more when I get more practice.

### 3/5 — Nice

*2022-04-22, version 3.05*

It would be cool if there was a randomize.

### 4/5 — Simple and effective

*2021-01-26*

Like the other iScore apps, I wish it would keep league leaders and standings but for in game stats and collecting team info it’s near great and easy to use with an attractive display that’s not hard on the eyes.

### 4/5 — Can you update

*2020-06-06*

Can you pleeeeeeease make an update witch adds a buzzer

### 4/5 — Great on iPad, not on phone

*2018-06-24*

This app needs to be used on iPad.  The phone is far too difficult.  Seems like they stopped updating it though. Baseball more advanced.

### 4/5 — Good.  Not perfect

*2018-02-20*

I have used this app for years and like it a lot.  Pretty easy to use and modify to your liking.   Problems - no shot chart for opponent when playing away and no shot chart for opponent sent with the stats when you send by email.  Also don’t like the clock starting automatically after free throws.

### 3/5 — Adjust display

*2017-12-31*

Please adjust the display to fit with iPhone 7plus.

### 3/5 — Not updated for 6/6S/7 Plus

*2017-01-07*

Have been a long time user since 2010 and my 3GS, but now on my 6S Plus, iScore still maintains the small score keeping dimensions from the smaller 4" iPhones.  A few bugs in various team player add functions where entered data disappears going back and forth between controllers.

### 5/5 — Great program

*2015-02-14, version 2.9993*

Have been using this app for the past 3 years and love it!  Is it possible to make a change to turnovers though.  Would be nice if we had a choice of what turnover was made--like the fouls option

### 4/5 — Great for data lovers.

*2015-02-03, version 2.9993*

The stats and format they do it in is worth the cost by itself. Great for taking stats after the game while watching the video but seems like you'd need a lot of practice before you would be able to do it live. I'm not sure exactly what constitutes a team turnover. Sometimes I feel like it misses some of the shot locations but that could just be overlap. If there was a way to see just made or just missed that would be nice. Keep the updates coming!

### 1/5 — Loved the app bought the website, disappointing

*2019-12-03, version 3.05*

We used the app last year for basketball stats and loved it. We started using it again and the team wanted access to the stats via a website. I purchased the website and nobody is able to see anything. Finally figured out the font changed to white with a white background. The site won’t save any attempt to modify this. $19.99 for a blank screen is a waste. And their support hasn’t acknowledged the emails sent asking for assistance.

### 1/5 — Extremely disappointed in change.

*2018-05-20*

Paid for the app back in the day so grandparents could webcast games.  Now they give the app away free and people watching have to pay.  I've had the app for years and they've spent very little time or money making any real improvements.  Now we have to pay again to get what we paid for originally.  I'm glad this is the last summer of bball for us.  I would never use this again.

### 1/5 — Very buggy and confusing

*2018-03-27*

Coming from GC That has been discontinued I wanted to find an app for replacement. This is not the app. It’s very buggy and hard to navigate. Trying to use your phone for scoring is impossible. Sure this could work if I never used GC but it’s missing so much and very hard to use. Needs updating

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review and sorry you had some trouble! Please email us at support@iscoresports.com with the things we're missing. We'd love to learn more. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Not worth the money or time

*2015-12-13*

This app claims to be intuitive, but it is far from it. I spent 20 minutes trying to figure how to add stats/results for a single player. Very confusing. 

I read the online guide and the faqs. Surprisingly there was no help for such a basic use case. 

It might be powerful, but it is useless if you can't figure it out.  

I tried a different app for $2 and it was up and running in minutes.

### 1/5 — Steal and deflection do not work

*2015-11-22, version 3.0*

When I click on a player and then click on steal or deflection it asks me to select a player from the other team. Huh? Was this app tested?

### 1/5 — App not working

*2015-10-11, version 3.0*

It's not working end of story

### 1/5 — Worthless purchase

*2014-07-28, version 2.998*

If you are into wasting money and want to lose and easy $10, buy this app. More worth the money are Stat Crew (PC) or CyberSports (PC & iPad). Save your money and headaches for better occasions.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2014-06-06, version 2.998*

I feel like I wasted my money on something I can't even use waste can I have my money back

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2014-05-02, version 2.998*

I thought I would be able to add live game stats for the price of $9 but you can't do anything with this app..then they try to get u to buy 19 per month for just 1 team..not good user interface and I felt like I was deceived by the pictures in the preview.. Very upset.

### 1/5 — Too hard

*2013-07-14, version 2.994*

This is just too complicated and not intuitive.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-02-01*

The best in the App Store. Been using for about 7 years, youth through varsity high school. Glad to see the update!

### 5/5 — Great for tabletop game scoring

*2024-12-23*

I use this and the baseball apps for my tabletop game scoring. They are user friendly and very easy to navigate. It saves me so much time to score a game with iScore basketball, which gives me more time for playing.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-05-14*

Easy to use and set up. Gives nice reports and shot charts

### 5/5 — IScore

*2020-01-23*

Really good app. Only use the score buttons though. It takes FOREVER to get the free throws and fouls. Good app though. 👍🏻🏀🏀🏀🏀

Also recommend IScore Baseball.

### 5/5 — It’s amazing

*2019-02-27*

ISCORE is amazing. It’s perfect for my sons games. Even my kids love it! So, again, It’s amazing! And FREE!!!

### 5/5 — Happy with iScore products

*2019-01-19*

Love the basketball and baseball apps both very much!

### 5/5 — Really? Free?

*2018-03-03*

At a tournament this weekend we needed something to serve as a backup to untrained teenage scorekeepers. This app was set up in less than 5 minutes and does amazing things. It is intuitive to use. Corrections were a challenge to figure out mid-quarter, but this app does all we need and more than we can use. We tried to buy it, and it seems the app itself is actually free! If we want the website next season, it’s there for purchase, but the app itself was perfct for the tournament. Thanks, iScore!

### 5/5 — Love the app but server is down

*2018-02-07*

Please fix

### 5/5 — Works well for youth games

*2016-03-04*

I have found iScore to be very useful. I've scored over 60 games at the youth level using this app. It has taken time to master the features, but I can now run a shot chart for the coach (all 1200 misses) so the coach can highlight areas for improvement as well as strengths in a visual way. 

Also - the coach doesn't have to interpret my handwriting in a paper book. 

One suggestion - add a court layout for High School in addition to the existing college/pro. The layups on the shot chart look like they are behind the basket.
