Score Keeper is a digital score pad for Rummy, Spades, Skyjo, Farkle, Flip 7, UNO, Hearts, Euchre, dominoes, darts and dice games. It replaces the paper score sheet: every round is saved, the running total is calculated for you, and a wrong entry can be fixed later without starting over. Start from one of 48 built-in games or build your own score sheet. Enter scores by tapping or by voice; the game saves itself. CARD GAME SCORE SHEETS Rummy score keeper • Rummy score sheet with round totals, bonuses and penalties. • Works as a gin rummy score tracker, a 500 Rummy scoreboard or a Shanghai Rummy score sheet: add players, enter each hand, read the running total. • Rummikub score sheet: the tiles left on each rack count against their owner. UNO, Phase 10, Flip 7, Skyjo • UNO score sheet: enter each player's hand points; the running total and the 500-point target are tracked for you. • Phase 10 score sheet that tracks each player's phase and the cards left in hand. • Flip 7 score card with ×2 and bonus cards and +15 for seven numbers. • Skyjo score tracker that doubles the closer's score when it is not the lowest. Qwixx, Five Crowns, Skull King • Qwixx score sheet with the four colour rows, locks and penalties. • Five Crowns score keeper with each hand's wild card, from threes to kings. • Skull King score calculator for bids, tricks and bonuses.

GAME NIGHT TOOLS • Automatic totals and an editable round history. • Voice score entry when device speech services are available. • Dice roller, tally counter and a head-to-head mode for two players. • Light and dark themes, readable across the table. Premium unlocks the full history (the last 5 games are free), player and team statistics, voice entry and extra table themes. The score sheets are free and work offline without an account. FAQ Is there a Rummy score sheet? Yes. The Rummy sheet records every round with bonuses and penalties and keeps each player's running total. It works the same for gin rummy, 500 Rummy and Shanghai Rummy. Is there a Spades or Hearts score sheet? Yes. Spades scores bids, nil and bags for two partnerships; Hearts counts the hearts and the queen of spades and catches shooting the moon. Can earlier scores be corrected? Yes. Edit a previous round and the overall total is recalculated. Does it work without internet? Score sheets, saved games, dice and tally tools work offline without an account. Voice entry depends on device services. UNO, Phase 10, Flip 7, Qwixx, Skyjo, Five Crowns, Skull King, Wizard and Rummikub are trademarks of their respective owners. This app is an independent score keeper and is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
