### 1/5 — Worst purchase ever.

*2017-05-10, version 5.7*

I was looking for the game of Shanghai, any version would do.  I would not have paid for a score pad which is all this app is.  What a waste of time and money.  I would like my money back but can't figure out how to get it.  The app should say its a scorekeeper only, not a game.

### 1/5 — Doesn't keep a running total.

*2014-01-19, version 5.5.1*

Doesn't keep a running total.  So it is worthless

### 1/5 — Does not work... At all.

*2012-01-03, version 3.0*

I'm not sure how this little feces nugget slipped by the application tester at Apple.

For the two minutes before it locked up and became inoperable, it was still worthless to me. It only scores in 5 point increments.  I guess that's Hoyle but it isn't us.

Once you start entering scores there is no reset button and no cancel option. You have to enter every score. 

My app locked up before I could even force scores into every box so now it's a nonfunctional waste of a dollar.
