### 4/5 — Muck better than the update

*2026-02-15, version 8.2.1*

Functions a lot better now.

### 1/5 — Problems after updates

*2026-01-18*

I could find a way to contact Kevin directly so I hope he sees this. The app does still work and is still functional and can be used to keep score. However, if you close the app it will completely reset and you’ll lose everything. Game history is now a thing of the past. When you select a team to put their score in, it gives that score to the other team. (Just have to know to reverse it and it does still work.) I’m not sure why there are so many bugs with something that was just updated but I do appreciate the app and that it’s free. I have no issue changing my rating when these issues are fixed.

### 1/5 — Please go back!

*2021-12-19, version 7.0.1*

I used this app years ago, and it was great. The changes are terrible. I paid $.99, and it doesn’t even work right.

### 1/5 — Great idea. Bad execution.

*2021-07-25, version 6.1*

Was excited to see an app that allows you to score rook correctly with the betting system. Was very excited to see it even accommodates the “Baby bird” and “Red 1” versions of the game, but when I tried to use this feature I found it was broken. No matter what you assign the value to this option, it will be scored as 20. It literally has an input field for you to set the value of this card, then it ignores whatever you put in and uses a value of 20. 

Tried to get help via the developers wiki page but there is literally no way to contact the developer there, and the wiki is full of broken links. 

If the developers are reading these, I also find it very strange that you can set a call partner, but then when scoring it gives you the option to not score with your partner. Odd that you have to manually tell it each time to count your points together.

### 3/5 — You're getting there.

*2012-10-03, version 4.0*

I am an avid rook player and got this app when it first came out in the hopes that I could use it. It wasn't till this latest up date that I would consider it. I like how the new version is laid out. Getting to call partners is huge. I would give this app 5 stars if you would add the option for 2,3, and 5 players. If you don't know how that's played 2 players is just man on man. The play is different but the scoring is the same. In 3 man, there is no partner. It's every man for him self each person collects their own points, however it's the combined score of the opposing players that determines if the declared makes his/her bid. In 5 man, the person who takes bid calls one partner, and it becomes 2 against 3. I know a number of people who play this game and would love this app if you added those features. I'll keep watching for the new updates. When you get there I'll start pushing them to get it.

### 4/5 — Rook app

*2012-06-09, version 3.4*

Would be good to have for iPad resolution as well

Scoring options, this app scores differently than described in all the card sets

### 5/5 — Great Update

*2012-04-18, version 3.3*

Great addition to an already solid app.  Thanks for adding the ability to play with called partners and 6 players.  The interface is very intuitive and easy to learn.  The only thing that would be nice to see yet is the ability to track what card was chosen as partner when playing called partners.

### 1/5 — Total points possible in game

*2012-02-27, version 3.2*

I have played rook since I was a kid and we always played with 2 rooks: the rook and black 1. The rook was worth 30 points and the black 1 was worth 20 points for a total of 150 points in a game. I do not see a way to set the scorecard for 150 points without making the black 1 worth 30 points. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? How many points do you play for in a hand?

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-02-17, version 3.2*

Beautiful.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-02-04, version 3.2*

My family plays Rook every time we get together, and this app is exactly what we need and it works just as expected. Thanks!
