### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-05-23*

Thanks for making this app.  So simple and useful.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using the app!

### 4/5 — Works well

*2020-02-16*

Not to in depth but makes it easy to add up scores which is all it really needs to do.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2019-09-06*

Simple, easy, does exactly what it needs to

### 2/5 — Item to improve.

*2019-07-22, version 1.0.8*

I would like the ability to modify players and not be stuck with random factions.

### 3/5 — Please let us pick factions

*2019-04-20, version 1.0.8*

Yea what’s up with the random chooser???

### 5/5 — Good, simple, solid, free

*2019-04-02, version 1.0.8*

It’s only downside is that combinations are not manually selectable, and it allows Industrial-Rusviet and Patriotic-Crimea.

But it’s free, so I can’t complain. If a disallowed combo comes up just start over!

### 3/5 — Need to be able to pick your faction, not random

*2018-08-21, version 1.0.8*

^

### 4/5 — Good with minor limitations

*2018-07-28*

This app works great if you use it to predetermine player’s boards, as it does all the randomisation of race and board matching for you.

If you just want to use it as a scorer, I.e. you handed out the mats randomly before hand, then you cannot pick the exact races and mats within the app.

However, you can get round this by just selecting the maximum players and score the races you used individually (just ignoring the mat combinations as written, as they don’t interfere with the score anyway).

Still much handier than doing all the scoring on a piece of paper!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t score correctly

*2018-03-03, version 1.0.8*

The score is off. I love the idea, but if it doesn’t score correctly, why bother? I will keep it to see if they improve upon it in the next update.

### 1/5 — Flawed app

*2018-02-11, version 1.0.6*

Popularity on board goes to 18. This App only goes to 16.

App currency is limited to $60. The game does not have a limit.

App resources are limited to 30. The game does not have a limit.

App author doesn't allow Industrial Rusviet. This is a recommendation and not a hard and fast rule.

Graphics are fairly poor quality.

Scythekick is a much better app with support for Automa and Wind Gambit.
