A warm thank you to everyone who have reached out to help make the Pointsman even better! • In the last update we introduced a bug which prevents you from scanning multiple tickets in a row; this is now fixed.

User reviews

Great

Works great. Only wish I knew how to edit tickets/destinations

Really helps with quick scoring!

Great app!! My only comment is that on newer printings of Ticket to Ride, the game tokens have been made translucent. On occasion the app has trouble discerning that the blue tokens on top of a yellow, or green route are not in fact green tokens.

Unable to count double tracks

This was easy to use, however we had a 4 player game and the app was not able to handle when there are double tracks between cities.

Love the concept

Love the concept and it has worked flawlessly in the past, but just tonight noticed an incorrect scan of a route card. Tried it multiple times and still fails.

In this particular instance, I was trying to scan “San Francisco to Atlanta” (17 pts) but it always scanned as “Los Angeles to Oklahoma City” (9 pts). Tried multiple times, same result.

I’ve suggested this apps to friend and now I’m embarrassed to tell them that it doesn’t always work, sorry.

Brilliant app, worked perfectly

Thank you. Counting the little trains is so frustrating!
