It should however accommodate the versatility of round order like going from round 10 backwards to round 1 or even/odd rounds only. Also with the new expansion pack, I would like to see the new cards added as options in the scoring. ### 5/5 — Saves me from doing math & writing *2025-11-09, version 1.3* Great app, grateful to keep score of the game while we play. I just got the extended version and was curious if they’re going to add the new features to the app? ### 4/5 — Great! But………. *2025-08-09, version 1.3* Overall the app great. I like that it includes the bonus point unlike other apps. BUT…..please add a back button to see previous rounds. I have entered scores incorrectly and then I am unable to fix it. ### 4/5 — Love the app *2025-07-28, version 1.3* My biggest struggle is remembering how many points you get for capturing mermaids, pirates etc… love the app takes all the math out of it . The app needs an update to include loot in the bonus calculator ### 4/5 — Very good, one small improvement needed *2023-12-30, version 1.3* It could auto-fill the “won bets” for players with zero wins once you type the # of wins for the winner players. ### 4/5 — Need to be able to correct *2023-03-13, version 1.2* The only complaint is that you can’t go back to correct a score. Otherwise, great app. ### 3/5 — Missing a few essential features *2023-01-25, version 1.2* No way to score bidding with the special pirate or to record bonus points form the loot, so I have to switch to paper. Add those features and it would be perfect! ### 1/5 — Not accurate to game directions *2023-01-01, version 1.2* At first this app seemed great, way better than keeping score on paper and having to do the math yourself. We quickly realized though that there is one major flaw - the bonus points are incorrect in the app and do not reflect the correct amounts that are in the game directions. We will no longer use the app as it doesn’t keep score correctly. ### 4/5 — Love it - would love to see updates *2022-12-31, version 1.2* Really want to see the updates the other reviews have mentioned. Awesome app. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2022-12-26, version 1.2* Unable to see the running score. Consequently, if having to play a shortened game, there’s no way of seeing who won, based on the hands played. Additionally, inability to edit / correct prior hand bid, won or incorrect bonus points, makes the app less usable. Deleting and trying a different app. ## Frequently asked questions about Skull Keeper ### What does Skull Keeper do?
