Read full description

Coronation is a beautiful, offline scorekeeper built for the Five Crowns® card game — the one where a new rank goes wild every round. Gather up to 6 players around one phone. Give each player a colored crown, type in round totals as you play, and tap the crown of whoever goes out first each round. Coronation handles the running math, tracks who's ahead, and crowns your winner at the end. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Built for one shared phone — no accounts, no sign-in, no setup beyond player names • A scrolling scorecard grid that keeps names and totals pinned in view, so you never lose your place across all 11 rounds • A live rank badge on every score so you always know where you stand • Tap a crown to mark who went out — locks their round at zero automatically • End a game early or play it out; either way Coronation crowns the low score as winner • A dedicated Game Stats screen: times each player went out, and their average score per round • Every finished game is saved to Past Games, dated and view-only, so your group's history sticks around • Share a good result with a single tap — a clean recap card, ready for your group chat • Optional iCloud sync keeps your game history on this device and backed up to your own iCloud account — nothing is ever sent to us COMPLETELY OFFLINE Coronation collects no data, shows no ads, and needs no internet connection. It doesn't even ask. It's a scorekeeper, not a rules engine — you and your friends handle the cards; Coronation just keeps the math honest. Coronation is an independent scorekeeping app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the makers of Five Crowns®.
