A simple application to keep track of the score of Schieber-, Coiffeur- and Differenzlerjass or in order to find Jass-Events nearby. You get together with some friends and you spontaneously decide to play a Jass game. Sure you would like to write down the score. However, it is usually the case that nobody brought anything to write. No slate and no chalk. Out of such a situation we created the iPhone Application "Jasstafel" by FidelisFactory. It combines the simplicity of the regular slate with the possibilities of a calculator and allows every party to keep track of their score. Since it is an iPhone Application, you will always have it with you in your pocket. "We have spent quite some time designing the different slates for the various Jass-playstyles. We have focused on providing a tool that blends in with the card game and does not interrupt the flow of playing." - Luis, Co-Founder FidelisFactory.ch Just select the respective slate that matches the Jass-variation and just start playing! "Great useful programm that creates fun and friends. The best feature is the customer support. In a nutshell: Recommended." - AppStore Review
