Only one complaint

This is such a great scoring app! We use it every time we play the game and it works perfectly! My only complaint is that if you have to switch to another app for more than a minute or so, or even if you just need to close your phone and take a break from the game for a bit, all the data from your game gets erased and it starts a new game. I have a young child I’m usually playing with, so sometimes we need to play our games in two sittings with a break in the middle and it’s very frustrating to come back to all the scores cleared. If you could make it so game data would stay put until the game was completed or manually cleared for a new game that would make the app literally perfect!!

Great app!

I really enjoy using this app and found it very efficient and user friendly! My only critique would be that I wish it showed the rank of the players throughout the game. But overall great app and will continue to use it!

Response from developer

*** Requested feature added *** Thank you so much for your wonderful review and thank you even more for you great suggestion. I am happy to inform you that as of version 6.0 we will highlight the (player with the) highest score. This version will be released before the end of September 2026. Thanks again and Yo ho ho!

Best Recording System

My game has never been easier ever since I got this app! What used to be following the grueling guidelines in the book and taking ages to figure out the score is now a simple ‘click’ ‘click’ BOOM - the results!

Response from developer

Thank you very much for letting us know you like the app. Really appreciated 🙏😀. Yo ho ho! 🏴‍☠️

Convenience

I love that a computer can do all the math for me. Fewer accusations of cheating for math mistakes.

Skull King

Love this game. It’s great with alot of people because you never know if you’ll take the trick or not. Great family fun

Worth the download and tip

This app is awesome and very helpful to play this game our family loves! I honestly couldn’t imagine keeping score by paper anymore, as this is so much more efficient and makes the game more fun as I can focus on the play rather than the scoring. They let you try it for a few times for free and then ask for a tip, but the tip is very minimal (a few dollars). I’m cheap and I tipped the high-end because it is worth it, and frankly the work they put into making this app deserves the reward. If you play Skull King, this is a must have!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review (and for the tip!). Very much appreciated. Please continue to enjoy. Yo ho ho!

Scoring

It was very hard to use and I couldn’t add the bonus points or figure out how to do that

The best scorecard app

The biggest difficulty of skull king (especially for new players) is the complicated scoring, and this app makes the entire learning and gameplay process seamless! Built-in UI checks ensure that you’re logging the correct number of tricks per round, and the scores are easy to read and reference at any time. My one suggestion is to make it possible in Rascal scoring for each player to declare Grapeshot or Cannonball, rather than it being a fixed choice for all players across the game. Thank you so much for developing this app!

*** Fixed. Requested feature has been added *** Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Also thank you for pointing out that the Cannonball scoring was incorrect. I am happy to inform you that I've fixed this in upcoming version 5.5 which will be released in April 2026. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions/remarks at support@checkdef.com

Cool App

Too many ads but great app

Great scorekeeper

This app always helps me beat my bros in skull king. LOL!!!!!!!. SO FIVE STARS

So much fun

My mother got this for us to play before my brother and I went abroad January of 2025. We have played this game nonstop ever since, it is so addicting. I totally recommend buying the card game we have like 5 different skull king decks. ALSO the expansion pack which makes the game even more fun and interesting.

Very glad you like it. Do enjoy the game and our scoring app. Yo ho ho!

Amazing app

This app made this game so much more fun for my family! Thanks so much.

Any chance you’ll update to include the expansion cards?

Très pratique, l'application, merci beaucoup et je suis heureux de contribuer avec le pourboire. Est-ce qu'une mise à jour est prévue pour l'extension ?

Response from developer

[traduit avec Google Translate] Merci beaucoup pour votre contribution et votre excellent commentaire. Au cours de la première quinzaine de janvier 2026, nous publierons une nouvelle version compatible avec jusqu'à 10 joueurs (incluant ainsi l'extension). À notre connaissance, l'extension n'introduit aucun nouveau système de score. N'hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos suggestions d'amélioration ou de ce qui vous semble manquant. Encore merci. Yo ho ho!

So Helpful

Soooooo helpful!! Makes scoring the game so much more simple! Paper scoring is way too complex and this makes it super easy. Love this app!

Perfect.

Really a great app that makes recoding bids and scoring each hand very easy.

Best Skull King app

The only thing that could make it better is being able play with up to 10 or possibly 12 players. We play with the whole family and we have to keep score the old fashion way with the paper score cards which is tedious. We have even played with 2 decks. The app really spoils you because it is so easy.

*** Fixed: requested feature is implemented *** Than you for your wonderful review. Good news: in early January we will release version 5.1 of the app which will support up to 10 players. (12 players will not fit on the screen unfortunately 😬). Enjoy playing! Yo ho ho!

Needs New Expansion Update

Fantastic app! Easily the best one in the App Store but it needs updated to support the new expansion release.

Love this App!

This app is easy to use and I really appreciate all the upgrades as the Skull King rules have evolved. Thank you!!

Best Skull King Scoring App

This add is easy to use and does a great job! I’ve been looking for one for awhile and it is perfect! I would request that for the bonus scoring a +5 or -5 option be allowed with the new expansion 7 or 8 cards which have those bonuses.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are happy to inform you that before mid-October we expect to release version 4.7 of the app which supports +5/-5 bonus scores. Hope you continue to enjoy. Yo ho ho!
