History of changes would also be useful ### 3/5 — Used To Be One Of The Best *2025-11-05, version 1.2* Not working anymore. 🥴 ### 5/5 — Simple, easy, works *2025-08-23, version 1.2* Does what I need for numerous tabletop games. Sometimes it’s used for scores, sometimes it’s used to track combat points, hit points, mana, gold, whatever. ### 5/5 — Simple & perfect *2025-07-27, version 1.2* I love the simple, colorful style ### 5/5 — The scorekeeper you need. *2025-04-23, version 1.2* Works great, easy to use, easy to read. I can’t think of any negatives. It works wonderfully! You should use it, too. ### 3/5 — Hi *2024-12-06, version 1.2* Hi, you shouldn’t make it go faster like if you hold the plus button you should make it go faster like once you make it to 10,000 the thousands place should go really fast then once you make it to 100,000 the 10,000 place should go really fast Then once you make it to 1 million 100 place should go really really fast didn’t want to make it to 10 million millions should go fast and on ### 5/5 — Great *2024-11-24, version 1.2* This app is awesome! Works so well for editing scores and keeping track of ### 5/5 — Short, Sweet, Hard to Beat *2024-06-18, version 1.2* They don’t make apps like this anymore. Flexible and good for just about any game you wanna play. Customization is a plus. No ads and it’s free??? Almost illegally good. ### 4/5 — Great app, no portrait mode *2024-03-22, version 1.2* I love the simplicity, the customizability, and the sleek look of this app. Perfect for card games or anything you need to keep tally of. (I use it to track how many fish I’ve caught in a row in Animal Crossing, for example.) The fact there’s a single-player scorekeeping option is great and sets this app apart from the rest. My only complaint is that there’s no option to run this app in portrait mode, so it’s a bit annoying to swap back and forth between apps if you’re using multiple at a time. Still, by far the best scorekeeping app I’ve found so far. Would recommend! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect. *2024-03-03, version 1.2* Looks great, fun, very useful app. Would give a five star review and would recommend it to everyone I know if you could input a specific number to add to the score each time. For example, if someone scores 27 points in one round I have to hit the plus sign 27 times. I’d rather have a way to type, 2 then 7 and be done. Long press on the plus (or minus) sign to open a number input box maybe? ### 5/5 — Love it! One thing would make it perfect *2023-11-18, version 1.2* Love it. Very well thought out IU/UX. Watch the author’s video for how to use it and design thinking. The one thing that would make it perfect would be if it could prevent the device from sleeping. I’d love to just keep it open and on the table and not fuss with constantly waking up my device and unlocking it. ### 5/5 — Forced landscape mode *2023-10-18, version 1.2* Other than the forced landscape mode, this app is pretty great. ### 3/5 — Attractive & (But?) Simple *2023-08-17, version 1.2* I love the design of this app, the colors, & the ease of use! It’s a very attractive scoreboard! However, you can only add points in increments of one. There’s a plus and minus button that will count the score up by one and that’s it. No way to add faster or differently than that. Unfortunately, since I was looking for a scorekeeper to keep track of a Jeopardy-derivative game, I need the ability to add points in increments like 100, 300, 500, etc., so it won’t work for me. ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2023-06-08, version 1.2* 1. Change font to Arial Black 2. Custom Colors 3. A button to sort scores 4. If you tap the score, but not in reset mode, you can type the score needed for the player 5. Lowercase letters for the names Overall, this app is really good. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2023-05-03, version 1.2* Simple, elegant, fun & FREE! ### 5/5 — Does what it says it does. *2023-04-30, version 1.2* No frills, great counter! Intuitive design, no ads. Great, great, great! ### 5/5 — So simple - exactly what I was looking for *2023-03-03, version 1.2* I was going to create a simple XL spreadsheet for keeping scores for several teams at a party. Instead found this app. No frills, no fuss, beautifully simple and intuitive and perfect for simple score keeping. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Great game but *2023-01-18, version 1.2* It’s a good scorekeeper but I would like you to add numbers in the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bought by mistake! *2023-07-21, version 1.2* Please refund my account. ### 1/5 — Can’t get rid of name *2023-06-03, version 1.2* There is literally no way to get rid of a team or a person that’s no longer there. Would not recommend at all. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Apple TV Airplay *2023-01-12, version 1.2* This app will not open using AirPlay with an Apple TV. When the app is downloaded, it doesn’t even appear in the app list in Settings??? The app does work when used without airplay just on the device itself. I need to project the app in my gym but can’t using Apple TV. ### 1/5 — Nope *2021-08-04, version 1.2* Freezes every second time you open it and have to wait a few minutes to get control of your phone back. Don’t bother… ### 1/5 — Do not download *2019-07-03, version 1.2* ...Locks up and you cannot exit the app. Need to turn phone off/on to get out of it. Shame as it’s a great design. ### 1/5 — Used to be great, unusable now *2018-01-14, version 1.2* I used to love this app but at this point it’s become unusable as the phone locks within a few seconds of inactivity. Previously the app would keep the phone unlocked—without this feature constantly unlocking your phone to update scores becomes untenable. ### 1/5 — Not good for big score games *2015-09-02, version 1.1* Impressive design but lacks a major UI features. For example you cannot insert a number to add up to the score. You have to manually click the button until the score goes to the desired number and therefore you also have to calculate the sum yourself. For example if the score is 34 and i want to add 54 to it, I have to calculate it myself and also manually raise the score to 88 by clicking or holding down for 54 clicks. If this issue is fixed the app will be perfect. Until then 1/5 rating is suitable. ### 1/5 — It was a good app *2013-12-08, version 1.0.0* This app was the best, so clear and easy to use, but since iOS7 it's just a black screen. PLEASE FIX IT!! ### 1/5 — Love it but broken atm *2013-11-23, version 1.0.0* Love this app but when I open it now it goes to a black screen and doesn't load anymore. Tried re-installing it but it doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Not working *2013-11-16, version 1.0.0* I just get a black screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Used it for over a decade *2026-08-01, version 1.2* Perfect, fun, easy. ### 5/5 — Can’t anchor the order *2026-06-21, version 1.2* Superb, beautiful, simple app, but let down by a single feature the fact you can’t lock or anchor the order of people, which makes turn based games all the more difficult. Still great tho. ### 5/5 — Simple. Effective. Clean. *2026-06-16, version 1.2* Love this app. Works for basically any game you want to keep score with. Love the ease of adding removing players and switching high to low and low too high. Honestly, this feels like an app everyone should have. ### 5/5 — Solid, Elegant, Simple, Excellent *2026-04-05, version 1.2* We’ve been using this for family card games. A real “keeper.” ### 5/5 — Just what you need *2026-03-26, version 1.2* Simple. Easy to use. No fuss. If you need a simple tally counter without making things over complicated, this is your app! ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2026-03-20, version 1.2* Does what it says on the tin, and looks beautiful while doing it! Been using it for years and glad it still works! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-08, version 1.2* Does everything a score app should do. It’s not paid with no ads. Simple and perfect ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-01-29, version 1.2* Great app. I have used it a lot over the last couple years. You should add a Monopoly banker mode (or create a new app). There are a couple banker apps, but they are not nice to look at. ### 5/5 — Does it’s job *2026-01-21, version 1.2* It does what it’s supposed to do and pretty clean. I would like for there to be a little tab for pre set names and colors and you can still make the temporary ones. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-10-29, version 1.2* Excellent but would love see more options.
