## What is Sheepshead Scorer?

The Sheepshead Scorer app can now make scoring your Sheepshead card games a lot easier. Up to seven players can be entered and it can score individual hands of three to seven players. 

The rotate Sit Out feature can be used to automatically rotate sitting out players for each hand regardless of the number of players. And if a player leaves the game temporarily or permanently, you can just use the Left Game button to keep his score the same while you keep playing more hands. You can override any of these buttons at any point as players come or go. 

Doublers and double on the bump along with reversing past hands are features also included.  If you add doublers for hands ahead, there is a counter for keeping track of how many doublers are ahead.  The Deal feature keeps track of the dealer and rotates automatically for you. 

All you have to do is enter player names and then score each hand by choosing a Picker and Partner along with a hand outcome. 

Additional features show player standings(score, wins, losses, hands picked, partner) and history of the hands for the current game, and standings of all games.  Emailing of the standings or hands history is also available.

The iPhone and and iPad colorful and simple user interface sure makes it easy!!!

### 5/5 — Great scoring app

*2019-08-16*

This is a pretty neat little app that is so handy to use. I’ve figured out a workaround for how to score when players come into the game late and then sit somewhere other than after the last player, but it would be great if you could add the ability to add a player and choose the position. (Right now I just either start a new game and use the player history feature or ask the new player to sit next to the person that was my last entry.)

**Developer response:** Thanks for the recommendation, and finally got around to adding the feature to move the position of players in version 3.1.0.  So how you can move players to empty positions on the score board to insert a new player into the proper order on the screen.

### 4/5 — Solid scoring app

*2019-04-19*

Thanks for making this! Its been useful. I like the ability to have a rotating seat to sit out for when you’ve got 6-7 people. 
A couple new feature ideas:
1. Have a screen that shows all the trump cards as a reference for newer players. 
2. Indicator for the called suit. Sometimes our games move slowly with interruptions and someone always forgets this. 
3. Allow inserting a player in a particular position after the game has started. We had someone show up late and had to enter him in the last seat but it was not the position that he was sitting in. So I had to manually change the dealer token around. This works fine but is easy to mess up after a few 🍺 and a little 🌳.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the recommendations, and I finally got around to adding the feature to move the position of players in version 3.1.0. So how you can move players to empty positions on the score board to insert a new player into the proper order on the screen.  I will have to think about where to put a called suit indicator for next release.

### 4/5 — Handy & Flexible

*2018-06-20, version 2.1.0*

Ver2.10
This may be the only scoring app left in the app store, but it’s the only one you’ll need.  It works great!!  Virtually every conceivable scoring option is covered, and the stats provided are an added bonus.  It tracks who’s sitting out each hand on crowed tables... and you can manually sit players out for an extended time, and then bring them back in whenever you want.
The only feature I would suggest is for the app is to get out of the way of streaming audio from background apps (in my case, Apple Music).  For now, I simply put the scorer app in the background when not actually scoring a hand... but it still interrupts streaming audio while scoring a hand.

### 5/5 — Love the new update

*2018-01-16*

I was worried for a while that the developer wasn’t updating the app anymore but not only has it been updated for the new iOS, they’ve even added some more features. Great job!

### 5/5 — Need iOS 11 Support

*2017-10-29*

Help! My favorite sheepshead scoring app is no longer functional. Let’s get this thing update so I can continue to love this app and use it for decades of more sheepshead. Otherwise amazing.

**Developer response:** The iOS 11 compatible version is available now.  And there are some new features!  Let me know of any problems with the new version and please do a review of new version.

### 5/5 — Sheepshead Scorer - A++++

By far, the best and easiest way to score Sheepshead!!!

### 5/5 — Great App for keeping score

*2014-03-07*

Don't have to worry anymore for keeping score while playing sheepshead!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-05-20*

Makes it easy to see the game history. Stats are interesting to review, wins, losses, picks, partner. Auto dealer sits out feature and dealer movement take question away of who dealt last. Lester's, doubles, playing alone all handled easily.

### 5/5 — Works nice!

*2012-05-04*

Has all the features one would need and works perfectly.  Now we don't need to exchange money after each hand during our games.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2012-03-25*

This has been a great application! I use this all the time when I play with my friends because it has all the features I need and it's simplicity makes it easy to use.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.4.0 — 2025-01-27

Added verification step during selecting any of the "New Game" options.

### 3.3.0 — 2024-08-03

For those groups that always play double-on-the-bump, there is now an setting to toggle in the Options to always default the double-on-the-bump setting when a new game is started.

### 3.1.0 — 2023-01-07

Now when a new player comes to the table to play after you already started a game, you can move existing player positions to open a seat in the correct position for the new player.  This keeps the nice ordering of the players on the scoring app that matches how they are seated around the table, and then keeps scoring easier!

### 3.0.0 — 2022-12-28

Now when selecting the New Game option, the player names from the previous game will be defaulted as the player names in the new game (except when choosing the New Game option that deletes all history).  Several buttons at the bottom of the screen were moved up a little.

### 2.1.0 — 2018-02-12

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

The option to email files of standings or hands history was added in the options pages, and text showing a hands counter was added on the main scoring page.  Also, for those situations where a picker and partner get no tricked, an option has been added which allows the partner to also have to pay or not pay.

And remember from the recently released previous  iOS 11 compatible version, history from previous games can optionally be saved such that totals and standings by player name can be seen over many games.   For those groups that add doublers for future hands,  a counter has been added to keep track of how many hand scores ahead should be doublers.  Also, the doubler or score multiplier has been changed to keep doubling the multiplier by just pressing the button, or the scorekeeper can edit the multiplier number to any value.   New as well is that a leaster win can be split between two winners as long as the winning pool is equally divisible by 2.

Thank you for using the Sheepshead Scorer.
