Score Counter is the most flexible score-tracking app for card games, board games, and any other game where points matter. Whether you're playing with two people or a full table, Score Counter keeps everyone's tallies accurate and beautifully organised. PLAYERS Add as many players as you need, reorder them by dragging, or deactivate a player mid-game — their scores are preserved but they disappear from the main board until you reactivate them. Tap a column header to assign the dealer crown. SCORE ENTRY Choose between two entry modes: Any Value lets you type any number (positive, negative, or zero), while Predefined Values gives you a set of quick-tap buttons for lightning-fast entry. Enable Positive-only mode to prevent accidental negative scores. BOARD LAYOUTS Free Order lets any player score at any time, ideal for casual play. Sequential (One by One) enforces strict turn order, keeping every round perfectly consistent — great for trick-taking games or any game with clear turns. SCORE DISPLAY Pick the style that suits your game: Summaries shows running totals; Partial scores shows each individual round; Combined shows both at once; Alternating switches between them automatically. Per-score font styling (Normal, Bold, Italic, Bold-Italic) lets you highlight important entries. CALCULATOR The built-in calculator handles complex additions with memory functions — M+, M−, MR, and MC — so you never need to leave the app to crunch numbers. SAVED GAMES & AUTOSAVE Every game is saved automatically. The Saved Games list lets you restore any past session with a single tap, so a dead battery or a phone call never costs you your scores. REACHING A TARGET SCORE Set a target score and Score Counter celebrates when a player reaches it with a winner animation. If multiple players hit the target, they're ranked by who reached it first. GAME SETTINGS Choose Highest wins or Lowest wins to match your game's rules. Configure dark mode, light mode, or follow the system setting. Shake the phone to reset scores, undo the last entry, or start a brand-new game. IN-APP PURCHASES The free version supports up to 5 players, 10 scores per player, and 2 saved games. Remove Limits unlocks unlimited players, scores, and saved games. Extended Main Board unlocks Sequential mode with a free 10-minute trial.
