Read full description

Pegwise is a clean cribbage scoreboard for 2, 3, or 4 players, free. Most cribbage scoreboard apps stop at two players, or make you pay to unlock more. Pegwise supports up to four players from the start, at no charge. Bring it to the table, pass it around, and leave the paper and pencil behind. WHAT PEGWISE DOES - Tracks scores for 2, 3, or 4 players on one device - A classic S-curve board with smooth, legible progress to 121 - Tap + to score, hold to score fast - Custom player names and colors, saved between sessions - Works completely offline, no account or internet needed WHAT PEGWISE DOESN'T DO - It doesn't deal cards - It doesn't count your hands - It doesn't play for you You still play with a real deck. Pegwise replaces the pegboard, not the game. FREE AND FAIR The free version shows a single banner ad at the bottom of the screen. No full-screen ads, ever. Prefer it ad-free? A one-time $1.99 in-app purchase removes the banner for good. Your game data never leaves your device. Made by Wandering Jetstream LLC.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ascension at none against Pegwise's shown. Ascension also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
