### 5/5 — Must have for me

*2024-07-29, version 2.1.0*

Had this for years and it’s simple. It does not have all that crazy other stuff that makes other apps overwhelming.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2024-07-05, version 2.1.0*

I loved the functionality of the app, it makes keeping score very easy. My only feedback would be to have a game time to see how long games last.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2024-03-03, version 2.1.0*

Great tool!!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2024-01-30, version 2.1.0*

The best way to keep track of multiple types of games. I have downloaded countless game tracking apps and this is by far the best one. Everything is free & no ads! Decided to leave a $ tip because I appreciate that so much. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-12-26, version 2.1.0*

Our family plays a lot of games and this is
A great free app to help us keep score without missing any conversation

### 4/5 — Great App

Easy to use and great features

### 5/5 — Best App for Scorekeeper

Love this app

### 5/5 — Great little app

Does multiple games and with history to keep score for your competitive side. Well done!

### 5/5 — Good app….

*2023-07-04, version 2.1.0*

Very easy scoring as well as adding and subtracting players.   Wish there was a look back feature to verify last score was added.
Thanks

### 5/5 — Simple, yet extremely effective

*2023-06-17, version 2.1.0*

This is an amazing free app and extremely easy to use. It has all the basic needs for a scoring app, plus more! It has everything needed for almost any game with scoring. Definitely would recommend.

### 5/5 — Best universal score keeper app

*2023-06-06, version 2.1.0*

And the nice colors keeping it fresh

### 4/5 — Good app for farkel

*2023-05-30, version 2.1.0*

I like it ooglie boogie

### 5/5 — Great app for game nerds

*2023-04-25, version 2.1.0*

We used to use a spreadsheet in excel to track our game scores. This app works great for recording scores in different games. For some games it works well to keep a running tally. Love that you can easily see top scores for different games as well as # of wins. The preloaded game directions and templates are handy as well. Also offering this app for free with no ads is pretty much one of a kind. They do occasionally ask for a tip but it’s not obtrusive and totally understandable. When I’m not completely broke I will definitely contribute as it is well deserved. A way to export data would be a cool feature to add for the super dorks to graph and analyze way further than you really should. Thank you for your generosity!!!

### 1/5 — Slow

*2021-12-30, version 2.1.0*

It takes forever to put in the players’ names. Definitely not an improvement over the last version.

### 1/5 — Great scoring app. Easy to use.

*2021-08-29, version 2.0.1*

Great score keeping app. Easy to use. Keeps up with multiple games.

### 1/5 — Need to fix the “  of round” and “target score” setting

*2021-04-25, version 2.0.1*

When I type how many points to win or rounds to end that game, the cursor typer  is deleted so you should fix them to have a clear typing!

### 1/5 — Give my records back!!

*2015-10-04, version 1.1*

I lost my records after upgrading to new version!

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2016-04-10, version 1.2.1*

This is a good app that's very close to "very good". 

It uses a non-standard iOS number entry panel which obscures your input. Yep, you can't see what you're typing until you finish; then you have to go back and fix your errors. 

The other quirk is that the app only tracks 4 game rounds which isn't much use for the games I play. 

Needs some more finesse.

### 3/5 — Great App, but few suggestions

*2023-08-22, version 2.1.0*

The app is great, but it would be helpful to be able to keep track of what round people are on in addition to their score (think Phase 10). Additionally, the feedback email will only work for those that use the Apple Mail app, but not for those using Gmail or other email apps. Would love to provide an option to have rounds go either horizontally or vertically.

### 3/5 — I love this app

*2023-01-05, version 2.1.0*

I use this app a lot .  It would be cool to be able to cast it to the tv.

### 3/5 — A decent app with a few quirks

*2022-12-19, version 2.1.0*

This is a decent app for keeping score in most games. The buttons for typing in the score should be bigger. It feels like the button is the actual text instead of the area around the text. It made typing score difficult. Sometimes it wouldn’t even take my inputs.

### 3/5 — Update after a month

*2022-06-06, version 2.1.0*

So, this app really is wonderful.  I chipped in and donated because it was exactly what I was looking for.  Unfortunately, I had to go from 5 stars to 3 because when I return to the app, it shows the last game as “in progress” instead of completed and showing the correct score.  I really wanted a track record of who has won the most games categorized by the different games we play.  Keeps the competiveness up!  Hopefully this can be an easy fix by the developer.  iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 15.5.  Even tried forcing the upload to iCloud..

### 3/5 — Comptage par catégories ?

*2022-05-16, version 2.1.0*

Le comptage de points de certains jeux est souvent composé de plusieurs catégories (7wonders, Abyss…). Avez-vous prévu d’adapter votre application pour prendre en compte ce type de jeux ?

### 5/5 — Fantastic Score Keeper

*2026-08-25, version 2.1.0*

This is definitely a really good scoring app for all kinds of games. There are so many ways to track score.

### 5/5 — Rlly Amazing app with no adds

*2026-08-02, version 2.1.0*

It’s easy to keep score but they should add more features

### 5/5 — The only scoring app my family uses!!

*2026-07-04, version 2.1.0*

This is so genius. I love how it takes into consideration all of the different aspects that go into scoring for any game, and how you can set all of your own rules. It’s seriously so cool, and my family has used this app for years. Very clever.

### 5/5 — Great app, many thanks!

*2026-02-09, version 2.1.0*

Have been using this app for many years, and it just works very well. Easy to set up users, new games, different scoring systems, etc.

Still hoping for a mechanism to set up team games, where individuals are added to a team, and then the team is the "player" in a game. The game stats would be added to both the teams and individuals, which would be great for games like Tichu, Bridge, Canasta where the team wins or loses, but individual win/loss stats are also interesting.

### 5/5 — Favorite score keeper

*2026-01-24, version 2.1.0*

This is the BEST app and we’ve been using it for years. Many people download it after they see how it works. 100% recommend. Good for iPad or iPhone. 

We use it for a variety of games and I love how it saves the rules and players for future games or even to pause and resume a game later. 
Five Crowns, dominoes, SkyJo, Flip7, UNO, golf, etc.
2 player or multiplayer. 
High or low score winner. 
Fun you can save player profiles and add photos.

### 5/5 — Best, just the best

*2025-11-28, version 2.1.0*

Love the app so much so I’ve donated. No more need for any paper for any tracking for anything.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2025-10-18, version 2.1.0*

The template capability is very useful.  I have setup templates for Qwirkle, Five Crowns, Qwidler, and Mexican Train dominoes.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-10-09, version 2.1.0*

We use this all the time. Once you get the game set up, it’s in there forever and you can use it over and over again!

### 5/5 — Great Score Card App

*2025-10-02, version 2.1.0*

This is our favorite card and dice scoring app for all sorts of games.  It had unlimited possibilities for keeping track of all the various games, with many options for tracking scores…. Highly Recommend..

### 5/5 — Jeux

*2025-06-22, version 2.1.0*

Trop pratique !
