Sandypad is a speedrun timer. The app was made for iOS, taking advantage of the platform technologies. Add one or more games, and for each of them, add as many categories as you’d like. Adjust the timer by defining the precision (seconds, tenths, hundreths or thousandths). It is also possible to set a countdown to adjust the start of the run. Set which information are displayed during a run like the sum of best or the best possible time. For each category, show the segments and their time, and modify them with an intuitive user interface. Sync your times on all your devices using iCloud. Take advantage of widgets which allow you to quickly access the last runned games and open them right from the home screen. The app saves all you runs times, allowing you to come back to and analyse any previous run. On iPad, take advantage of keyboard shortcuts to manage your run without even touching the screen.

ScorePad is a clean, fast score tracker for any card game, board game, or tabletop game — competitive, cooperative, or team-vs-team. No accounts, no ads, no subscriptions — just open it and start scoring. GAME TYPES Individual: Classic player-vs-player scoring with a clear winner. Cooperative: For games where everyone plays together against the game, like The Crew. Record a shared Won or Lost, name the scenario or mission you played, and tap Play Again to retry after a loss. Co-op results are kept out of the competitive stats. Team: Split players into teams and score team-vs-team in either scoring mode. ScorePad remembers your team rosters and tracks each team's wins, losses, and head-to-head matchups. ScorePad remembers each game's usual type, so it's ready the next time you play. SCORING MODES Round-based scoring: Set a number of rounds and get a grid with one column per player (or team) and one row per round. Enter each score per round; totals update instantly. Perfect for card games, board games, or any game with distinct turns. Quick scoring: Leave rounds blank for a simple + and - view. Tap or hold the buttons to add or subtract from each running total. Hold the button to auto-increase quickly. Best for fast games where you just want a running total. Starting score: Set a custom starting value for games that count down, like 301 darts or Cribbage. PAUSE & MULTIPLE GAMES Step away without ending a game — it waits under In Progress at the top of History, ready to resume. Keep several games going at once and give each a label to tell them apart. PLAYERS, TEAMS & HISTORY Player names are saved automatically. When starting a new game, type a name and tap a suggestion to reuse an existing player — their stats and history carry over. The Players tab shows every player's game count and history, plus a Teams view of the groups you've played in. Browse History by date or by game, search by player, and — for cooperative games — filter by Won or Lost. The Stats tab shows top players, most-played games, score trends over time, and team records with head-to-head matchups. ICLOUD SYNC ScorePad automatically syncs your game history, players, and scores across every iPhone and iPad signed into the same Apple ID. Pick up a game on your iPhone and finish it on your iPad. Nothing to set up — it works as long as you are signed into iCloud. RANDOM PICKER Everyone puts a finger on the screen at the same time. ScorePad randomly highlights one to pick who goes first. Fair, instant, no arguments. EXPORT & IMPORT Back up your full game history to a file at any time. Share it, store it in Files, or import it onto another device. Duplicates are merged automatically. PRIVACY ScorePad collects no data. Your scores, player names, and game history are stored on your device and synced to your own iCloud account — they never leave your control and are never accessible to us. SUPPORT THE APP ScorePad is free with no ads or paywalls. If you enjoy it, the Tip Jar in Settings lets you leave an optional tip to support development.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: GameNightScorePad at weekly against Sandypad's every 5 months. GameNightScorePad also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sandypad's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
