## What is Keeping Score?

Stop hunting for pens and paper! Keeping Score is your free, simple solution for tracking game scores. Whether you're playing board games, card games, or any competitive activity, our minimalistic app helps you focus on the game, not the scorekeeping.

KEY FEATURES:

• SCORE TRACKING - Easy-to-use grid interface for tracking multiple players across multiple rounds
• QUICK ENTRY - Tap score cells and use increment buttons (+1, +5, +10, +50, +100) for fast scoring
• MULTIPLE GAMES - Track several games simultaneously
• ADDRESS BOOK - Save frequent players with custom colors for quick game setup
• FIRST PLAYER SELECTOR - Randomly choose who goes first (no more disputes!)
• GAMES COLLECTION - Rate and review games in your collection with star ratings and notes
• AUTOMATIC TOTALS - Scores automatically sum at the end of each column
• REORDERABLE LISTS - Drag to reorder games and prioritise your favourites

PRIVACY & PERFORMANCE:

• No ads, ever
• No tracking or analytics
• No network requests (works 100% offline)
• No account required
• Battery efficient
• All data stored locally on your device
• Optional iCloud backup (you control this in Settings)

PERFECT FOR:

• Board game nights with friends and family
• Card games (Poker, Rummy, Phase 10, Uno, etc.)
• Dice games (Yahtzee, Farkle, Qwixx, etc.)
• Any competitive game requiring score tracking
• Game groups and clubs
• Family game collections

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Create a new game and set the number of rounds
2. Add players from your address book or create new ones
3. Tap score cells to enter points as you play
4. Watch totals calculate automatically
5. Add/remove rounds as needed during play
6. Save the game and start tracking your next one!

DESIGNED FOR SIMPLICITY:

Our clean, minimalistic interface means less time fiddling with your phone and more time enjoying your games. Every feature is thoughtfully designed to be intuitive and quick to use.

YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE:

Unlike other apps, Keeping Score doesn't send your data anywhere. Everything stays on your device. Delete individual games when done, or uninstall the app to remove all data. Simple as that.

BUILT WITH CARE:

We built Keeping Score because we love games and hated constantly searching for scorekeeping materials. We wanted something fast, simple, and privacy-respecting. We think you'll love it too.
