## What is Score Buddy for Phase 10?

Score Buddy is your Phase 10 game night HQ. Rounds in seconds, live rankings always up to date, and the rivalry? Proven by the numbers.

ROUNDS IN SECONDS

• Live rankings re-sort the moment a round is saved
• Swipe right on any player to log a Skip card — swipe, tap, done
• Edit the last round if someone made a mistake

KNOW YOUR GROUP
• Win rates, streaks, and average finishing position for every player
• Most Stuck Phase — find out which phase is wrecking your group
• Skip card summaries after every game — who gave them, who received them

SCORE BUDDY PRO — DATA, NOT HEARSAY
One-time purchase. No subscription. Unlock everything, keep it forever.
• Unlimited saved games and full game history
• Advanced Statistics — win trends, hot and cold streaks, monthly performance, and a computed title for every player (The Aggressor, The Comeback Kid, The Wall, Home Court Hero, and more)
• Location Insights — find out where each player dominates and where they always get skipped
• Skip Analytics — the rivalry is real. Personalities (Menace, Assassin, Martyr, Pacifist), rivalry rankings, and mutual hostility scores computed from your whole history
• Player Customisation — custom emoji, photo, and accent colour for every player
• Live Activities — live score on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen (iPhone)

PRIVACY FIRST
Your game data never leaves your device. Score Buddy uses anonymous analytics (no ad tracking, no IDFA) to improve the app. Your player names and scores are never shared.

ACCESSIBILITY
Score Buddy is designed to work well with VoiceOver and iOS accessibility features. Every player row in an active game announces rank, name, current phase, and score as a single element — no need to navigate each piece separately. All toolbar buttons, status bar pills, and action buttons are individually labelled. Swipe actions (skip, remove) have dedicated VoiceOver alternatives so nothing requires a gesture. Expand/collapse sections announce their title and open/closed state. Pro upgrade buttons, locked rows, and paywall actions read as complete, descriptive elements. All animations are suppressed when Reduce Motion is enabled in iOS Settings. All text, badges, and icons scale with your iOS text size settings.

Phase 10 is a trademark of Mattel, Inc. Score Buddy is an unofficial companion app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mattel.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-11

Score Buddy v1.0.4 — a polished game recap and easier sharing.

WHAT'S NEW
• Redesigned game recap: the winner now headlines a single gold scoreboard, the date and Game Story are easier to read, and co-winners are both celebrated.
• Sharing got better: a quick share icon in the top bar, a preview so you can see your results card before you post, and a one-line "story" highlight (comebacks, wire-to-wire wins, and more) right on the image.
• Round History upgrades: players stay in the same column order as everywhere else, the player who went out is highlighted, and each round shows running totals plus the round's biggest mover up the standings.
• Two-player games now log a Skip in one move — swipe the player who got skipped and it's instantly recorded against the other player.
• You can now correct the end time of a finished game from its ⋯ menu, so the duration always looks right.

FIXES & POLISH
• Score entry now reminds you that only the player who went out scores 0, so "rounds won" stays accurate.
• The Insights tab now opens instantly when nothing has changed, instead of recomputing every visit.
• The Phases insights now match the rest of the app's card styling.
• Removed the redundant skip count from each Round History heading — the skips are already listed below.
• Game Story only celebrates a comeback when a player actually finished all 10 phases — not when a game ended early — and names both players on a tie.
• Tap a comeback in the Insights Game Story to jump straight to that game.
• Fixed swipe-to-skip occasionally opening a player's history instead of recording the skip.
• Various stability and reporting improvements.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-05-20

Score Buddy v1.0.3 — share your results, smarter insights, and Pro upgrades.

SHARE YOUR RESULTS
• Tap "Share Results" on any completed game to get a beautiful 9:16 image — perfect for Instagram Stories, Messages, or saving to your Camera Roll.

SCORE BUDDY PRO
• A non-intrusive upgrade prompt appears after your 5th game — dismiss it anytime.

INSIGHTS OVERHAUL (Pro)
• Redesigned Insights page now loads instantly with a compact highlights summary at the top, then a browse list to dive into Players, Locations, Phases, or Skip analytics.
• Phase difficulty cards now clearly show which phase trips people up most at your table.
• Stat cards and section headers across all insights views have been refreshed.

LIVE ACTIVITY DISCOVERY
• A subtle pill appears before your first round reminding you that Live Activity is available — tap it to enable score tracking on your Dynamic Island or Lock Screen.

FIXES & POLISH
• Various animation, layout, and stability improvements.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-05

WHAT'S NEW
• Don't have Phase 10 yet? The app now shows a handy link to find the game on Amazon (currently available for Australian users — more regions coming).
• Active games feel livelier — scores roll up with a quick "+points" chip, rank changes show an "↑2 / ↓1" badge, a crown lands on the new leader, the dealer pill sparkles when it rotates, and the round summary celebrates a new leader before pointing out the next dealer.
• New Appearance setting — keep matching iOS, or force Light or Dark mode just for Score Buddy.

FIXES & POLISH
• Fixed a rare bug where editing a round could mark a player as having finished phase 10 even though they hadn't, and the game wouldn't end properly.

UNDER THE HOOD
• Analytics improvements so we can better understand how the app is used and keep improving it.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-03-23

Fixes and polish:
- Active game player rows are now larger and easier to read during play — bigger avatars, bolder phase descriptions, a dedicated gold Dealer pill, per-player skip count, and taller rows with quick actions peeking below when 6 players are in the game
- Skip and location pills in the active game header now sit on separate lines so they never crowd each other; the dealer pill is larger with a full-size name label
- "New leader" toast sheet appears after a round save when the leaderboard changes — shows the new leader's avatar, name, phase, and score
- "Add Player" on the empty Players screen now works correctly and offers two options: Create New Player or Add from Contacts
- Fixed a bug with how skips are recorded in the first round and how the winner is calculated on the game detail page

### 1.0 — 2026-03-13

No release notes.
