I have the app on my iPhone and iPad and I will not pay to remove ads for every device. Apple says you have to have this button, and you do not. ### 2/5 — Good app, could be better *2018-05-30, version 1.4* It a good app to keep a baseball score. Two problems with this. If the runner is out. You can’t mark the runner out if he out on a force play at the base. And EVERY TIME I TAP THE BOX, AN AD COMES UP, THAT I LOSE TRACK OF PITCHES AND OUTS. I DREAD IF A PLAYER GETS A HIT, I HAVE TO REOPEN THE PREVIOUS BOX, TO SEE AN AD. MAKE THIS APP BETTER!!! ### 1/5 — Pop up ruin it! *2018-04-28, version 1.4* After every batter it goes to 5-10 second pop up ads. Can’t use in a real game! ### 1/5 — Holy Ad Farm *2018-04-27, version 1.4* Yeah, don’t even bother with this one. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-04-24, version 1.4* Don’t waste your time. So many adds you can’t keep score. Slow response trick you into jumping out of app. Then a slow load to get back to your game. Like others have said. I would never give money to the developers of this app just because of their sledgehammer approach to add insertion. ### 1/5 — Trash apps ruined it *2018-04-21, version 1.4* So many trash apps popping up while using it. ### 1/5 — Ads still appearing *2018-04-09, version 1.4* Paid to have ads removed but they continue to appear. ### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADVERTISEMENTS *2018-03-31, version 1.4* The app itself is fine, I just wish I could use it without an ad popping up everytime I touch the screen ### 1/5 — Slow and Ad Ridden *2018-03-29, version 1.4* The app is ridiculously slow and there’s an ad every time you click on a batter. The ads become intolerable when the app functions so slowly that you end up clicking on things you didn’t want to. ### 1/5 — Nah *2018-03-11, version 1.4* Extremely too many ad’s. I’m trying to keep book and watch the game by every 20 seconds an add comes up; typing or not. Not useful. Unable to locate the version without the ads (purchase). ### 1/5 — Bad *2018-03-04, version 1.4* Bad excuse to throw ads at u every at bat you try to keep. In the middle of the process no less. Gimme a break ### 2/5 — Way too Many Ads!! *2017-07-15, version 1.4* Very difficult to use because there is an ad EVERY time you click on a batter. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2017-06-25, version 1.4* There is no way to tell whether would be worth paying the $4.99 to remove the ads or not because the ads are in the way. You get an ad every other click. ### 1/5 — Ad farm *2017-06-25, version 1.4* Every tap you get another ad. Really poor for keeping score. Performance problem on iPhone 7 when zooming out causes you to go all the way out of the game too. Overall promising app but disappointed. ### 1/5 — Scorkeeping on Cheap Cocainw *2017-06-24, version 1.2* Trash!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stole money *2021-04-06, version 1.4* Paid to remove ads; Does NOT remove ads,! ### 1/5 — Ad Central *2021-03-25, version 1.4* Can’t even add one hit to the page without a pop-up ad. Deleted immediately...ridiculous ### 1/5 — Requires a tutorial *2020-08-20, version 1.4* Requires a tutorial ### 1/5 — ADS RUIN THIS APP *2019-06-25, version 1.4* This would be a terrific basic scoring app but the in app ads are intolerable. I want to love this app, but I will be deleting it instead. Tried to score a game and gave up after two batters. PLEASE OFFER A PAID APP WITH NO ADS! ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-05-05, version 1.4* Awful. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2019-05-02, version 1.4* This is an absolutely HORRIBLE app. There is no way to mark outs and you have to put up with an ad before EVERY BATTER! If I could give no stars I would ### 1/5 — Too slow *2019-03-30, version 1.4* Terrible amount of ads. Impossible to keep up with the game ### 1/5 — Way to many adds *2019-03-28, version 1.4* There are way too many ads it makes this app unusable ### 1/5 — Pop ups *2019-01-25, version 1.4* To many pop ups when using app . Not worth it made me lose my place . ### 1/5 — PenScore *2018-06-10, version 1.4* Bad app, adds pop up every time you try to enter an at bat. Paid to remove adds but they still appear. Looking to get my money back. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank You *2022-06-10, version 1.4* This is wonderful (and saves me on paper!) ### 5/5 — Great baseball scoring made easy *2017-07-04, version 1.4* I tried a few different apps for scoring baseball but liked this one the best because it so closely approximates what we all loved about keeping score on paper. We can do it our way! You can add players on the fly, put in their uniform numbers if you want to, or leave them out if don't want them. It doesn't require you to use their notation system. Use any notation you prefer. Like to use BB for a walk? Sure. Prefer W? Go ahead. Use F for Foul strike, C for called strike. Want to draw a line to show where the line drive went? Drag your finger to trace the line. Change your mind? Tap the diamond twice to undo. Load it on your iPad, too, at no additional charge, and use it for games you watch from your couch. ### 5/5 — Great *2014-07-31, version 1.0.1* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Works great for me *2014-05-29, version 1.0.1* Using an iPad mini first gen, works great. Using it to keep track of stratomatic games. ### 4/5 — Cool but one problem *2018-02-04, version 1.4* There are way to many adds when you tap on a batter there is a add every time you click on it. ### 4/5 — Not That Bad *2016-07-09, version 1.0.2* I had no problems. ### 4/5 — Love the idea, works well *2014-08-11, version 1.0.1* This is a great app, you really can score a game just like on paper. The only problem I have is I can't show which out a batter was in the inning (you do this by writing 1, 2, or 3 and circling it). Other than that it's really nice. ### 3/5 — Ok *2021-05-12, version 1.4* Easy to use but a lot of adds. I just turned off the data and that seams to work. Doesn’t waste a lot of battery if you put your phone on low power mode. ### 3/5 — It’s good, but.... *2018-07-08, version 1.4* 1. Way too many ads. Every time I click on a batter, an ad appears. Cut it down. By the way, I read another review that said he paid $4.99 to remove ads, but they still appeared. So I’m not going to pay $4.99. 2. Slow loading. Some of the reviews are at least a year old, yet the problems have not been fixed. I guess if you’re still getting your money, why care? 🤷🏾‍♂️ ### 3/5 — Good but slow *2017-05-08, version 1.2* Great similarity to scorebook but slow to respond which makes scoring difficult when tracking lots of action on bases. After recording at bat, need to zoom out" then go back to track / update the other runner, then "zoom out" go back to track /update other runner. If bases are loaded its hairpulling waiting to zoom in and out for each runner. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
