### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-09-15, version 5.7*

Love tbe ability to customize. You can add as much or as little detail as you want. If there’s one negative, I just wish the app would move a little faster. Seems more laggy than before, even after clearing the play history.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-07-19, version 5.7*

Cool app, using it to learn scoring and have fun watching games with my son. It’s exactly what we needed, thank you for building this! One question — when tapping balls/strikes for a batter, it seems to record them against the same team’s pitcher. I tap ball or strike for a team’s batter, and the same team’s pitcher’s pitch count increases. Is that right?

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2025-07-13, version 5.6*

I love this scorekeeper for following along with my favorite team

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-06-29, version 5.6*

This is a “must have” for baseball OG’s!  Put away the paper and the pens! Saves games. Is very adaptable and flexible on how anyone wants to keep score 

Really can’t ask for more

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2025-06-25*

This app has grown to be one of the most amazing and user friendly scoring experiences I ever used

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great review! So happy to hear you're enjoying using the app!
Don't hesitate to let us know how we can make it better!
Cheers!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2025-05-22, version 5.2*

I use this app regularly for games, and it's outstanding! I only have one suggestion: automate total at-bats and hits for individual batters.
Aside from that, well done!

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2025-05-20, version 5.2*

Most apps you need a paid subscription to do and you can’t just score mlb games.

This is a digital scorecard and I love it. Helps me practice scorekeeping at home and I also will be using it in mens league 

Great app!

### 5/5 — Clean and easy interface

*2025-05-15, version 5.1*

Found as a quick scorecard. Lots of great features. My one request is to apply the score box customization as a global update instead of per game.

### 5/5 — Super easy to use

*2025-04-17, version 4.7*

It is basically like using a paper scorebook just without the paper and pencil. Didn’t have to learn anything new at all or change how I keep track of the game. The app was basically just plug and play for me.

### 5/5 — Clean

*2025-04-17, version 4.7*

awesome scoring app

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2025-04-13, version 4.7*

This is far and away the best baseball scoring app on the App Store. It’s the closest thing to a paper scorecard as you can get on a digital device without resorting to marking up PDFs. It’s easily earned all 5 stars from me, and has become my go-to scoring method. 

Awesome features include:
- An option to import MLB game lineups once they’ve been released. 
- A robust mark up system that lets you do almost anything, and an option to just draw it yourself in the rare cases you can’t do what you need. 
- You can add innings or add a second column to an inning on-the-fly without impacting data. I can’t overstate how much I love this. 
- Both light and dark modes are well done and you can set custom colors too. 
- Super quick to create a game, import a lineup, and get scoring. 
- Ability to back up data and export score cards. 

My feedback would be, and this is getting extremely nit-picky mind you: 
- A separate field to specify the venue. 
- The option to hide the ball/strike boxes for when you don’t feel like tracking them. 
- The ability to have separate scoring colors for home and visitor without having to switch each time. 
- An option to make the filled in diamonds from a run a bit darker or lighter (for light and dark mode respectively) so they visually pop a bit more. 

Seriously though, this app is outstanding and even if none of the above is ever implemented I’ll keep using it.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2025-04-12, version 4.7*

I’m happy with this App. Importing the lineup is dope. However, I don’t quite understand the base feature and the half-lines 🤔

### 5/5 — Very Good App but a lot of room to improve

*2025-03-31, version 4.6*

I have used the app for 6 games.  I have been mostly satisfied with it.  I use on an IPad, and usually score games when I get home from work.  The Pros:  I enjoy the fact that I can pick up the game where it is at and then go back to fill in the rest.  Feels like a real paper scorecard.  I think the customization is excellent and I especially like that pitch’s can be recorded either with an X or by number, swing, called, Time Violation.  This is one of the best features.   In my original review I was critical of the response time for help.  That has seriously improved.  Also many of my cons have been addresses so I feel I can improve my rating.  I still wish that there was a clear option in side the Play Section. Also that the app would import information better like pitchers and catchers.  Overall I would highly recommend the app. Especially given the willingness to improve the app.

### 1/5 — Need a guide.! !!!!

*2025-05-12, version 5.1*

Need a guide! YouTube video or something.

### 3/5 — Love scoring but having issues with data saving

*2026-04-10, version 5.7*

I love this app. Even paid to not have ads. I go to a lot of MLB and MiLB games and love scoring them. I have noticed the data or coloring is messed up once you complete the game. I don’t know if it’s an iPad dark mode glitch issue but if that was fixed I would give this 5 stars

### 3/5 — Love the ability to customize

*2024-08-26*

I love keeping a paper scorebook and have been reluctant to try keepimg score on iPad because I don’t always use a standard way. This app comes as close as any I’ve seen to letting me do that, including tracking how runners get around the bases. With color options, it’s even more customizable now. Best scorebook app available.

**Developer response:** Hey there!
Thank you for reviewing StrikeEmOut!
I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying using the app! It was a goal of this app to make it as close as possible to a paper scorebook!

### 3/5 — Very Good App but a lot of room to improve

*2024-08-22*

I have used the app for 6 games.  I have been mostly satisfied with it.  I use on an IPad, and usually score games when I get home from work.  The Pros:  I enjoy the fact that I can pick up the game where it is at and then go back to fill in the rest.  Feels like a real paper scorecard.  I think the customization is excellent and I especially like that pitch’s can be recorded either with an X or by number, swing, called, Time Violation.  This is one of the best features.   The Cons:  I sent a request for help but got no response. I place the roster for the following day’s game and the lineup will either erase or the same lineup will be appear for all the teams I have listed.  This has been the most problematic feature because for every game I am forced to renter all the players information as opposed to pulling it up from a previous game.  This makes the lineup feature useless.  (I acknowledge that the following is knit picking but I wanted to point it out for future upgrades) Positions are not a separate entry so that a player who changes position there is no real clear way of noting that change.  Plus, you have to enter the Catcher in twice, as opposed to entering itself automatically.  Because you have to list the player in the lineup and in the Catcher stat section.  One the most annoying features is your inability to place zeros in the tally box’s.  This has led me to enter incorrect numbers.  Overall though an app I would recommend.

**Developer response:** Ah yeah you’re right! We must have introduced a bug with the lineups recently. We will resolve this in a new release coming this week. I apologize for the inconvenience. 
I also appreciate the enhancement ideas that you have requested here, I will be adding these ideas to future releases!
Thanks so much for using StrikeEmOut!

### 3/5 — Decent

*2024-07-28, version 2.3*

It works, has a bit of a learning curve, also wish the export to image feature worked but I just get a completely white image when I try it.

### 4/5 — Great for the first few innings

*2026-05-07, version 5.7*

I love how this app works and the ability to import lineups from the day of for MLB games is a huge reason why I love this app.  Only problem is  it tends to crash about 4-5 innings into a game and doesn’t save any progress. If this was fixed this app would be almost perfect.

### 4/5 — Like

*2026-04-11, version 5.7*

I love that I can use the mlb line ups. I would give 5 stars if there was a setting to zoom in and bring the player over. Te hard after the second inning to know who it is.

### 4/5 — Great digital scorebook

*2026-03-06, version 5.7*

I love all the features and capabilities. My only suggestions would be to allow for setting defaults to more features such an assigning colors to certain teams and scorecard layout defaults. Also a cheat sheet on screenfor abbreviations would be amazing! Similar to the pitch count option box but for abbreviations!

### 4/5 — Minor League lineups?

*2025-07-05, version 5.6*

Would like to score the minor league games like the Asheville Tourists. Any chance those teams could be part of the autoload rosters of the future?

### 4/5 — Great App, but no pitch count feature?

*2025-03-25, version 4.5*

I am a scoring nerd, and this app is absolutely great when I can’t have my book with me. The only thing that I am missing with this app is having a running pitch count for each pitcher. Adding that feature would absolutely bump this up to 5 stars for me.

### 5/5 — UK MLB Fan and the app I was looking for

*2026-07-02, version 5.7*

I’m a UK SF Giants fan and I subscribe to the audio of MLB and I wanted to do my own box scoring. I was going to do fully manual and maybe will still do at some point but I want to get used to doing it so I can do it quickly when I don’t manually. I didn’t want to make mistakes and constantly make alterations. This app is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I know this sound totally OtT but it’s the perfect all I was looking for. I paid for ad removal, thank you so much

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-06-17, version 5.7*

I used this app to score the rained out Braves Giants game last night. So I only got to play with it for 1.5 innings but what fun! It was easy to learn and very intuitive once I figured out the tap and hold scheme. The only extra tweaks I would like would be able to put the pitcher number at the top of the inning and a line underneath a batter to indicate a pitching change but those can simply be drawn in. I’ll always live a physical scorecard but this will be my default method of scoring!

### 5/5 — Works great, just watch out for dark mode

*2026-06-03, version 5.7*

I’m really enjoying being able to keep score and then you can even jump back to past games and compare who was playing at what position, etc. I also appreciate being able to turn off the balls/strikes scoring because I used to hit that by accident and I’m not worried about tracking at that level. One issue that I do run into is when the phone switches to dark mode midway through the game but that’s an easy trip to settings > display & brightness > set appearance to light/automatic to off and maybe swipe up to close and then reopen the app.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-22, version 5.7*

This app is tremendous. I got the paid version, not because I minded the ads, but because I felt the developers more than deserved my money.

### 5/5 — Great app for traditional scoring

*2026-05-19, version 5.7*

I go to a lot of baseball games and love to score the game. Using this app makes it easy to score without trying to find score card or carry a scorebook with me when we go to games. The ability to download the big league starting lineup for the game that day is also fantastic. 

One thing that I would love is to have the app on my iPad and iPhone sync.

### 5/5 — Was good but…

*2026-05-15, version 5.7*

Loved this app but now the score sheet has changed to black and it won’t let me change the color back to white

### 5/5 — Hi

*2026-05-04, version 5.7*

I used this scorebook at a Mariners game the other day and it was really good and smooth operating. ✝️

### 5/5 — Well Done

*2026-04-26, version 5.7*

This is an EXCELLENT app. I’m a software designer/developer myself, and I’m impressed with how well designed and well implemented this is. I’ve been thinking about writing a baseball scoring app myself, but I no longer need to. I really like the simple user interface, and I especially appreciate the configurability, the lineup import feature, and the image export feature.  Overall, a great job. I’ll be scoring a lot of games with this.

### 5/5 — Hidden gem

*2026-01-24, version 5.7*

I can’t recommend this enough to baseball fans who like to keep track. It might take a minute to get your head around but once it clicked! It’s become a natural part of games for me. Love it and can’t wait for future updates.

### 5/5 — Great app. Easy to use.

*2025-11-04, version 5.7*

Makes watching and scoring baseball more fun. Good historical record of great games played in the past. Only two wishes are to have more lines for pitchers on heavy rotation days (game 7 WS - Toronto) and an easy way to update pitching stats per inning without switching teams. Almost feel opposing pitchers should appear on same page as opposing batters but do not do this as the app would make it appear that the opposing pitchers were part of the same team as the batters.
