Score Keeper turns pen-and-paper score keeping into something you actually enjoy doing. Add your players, tap in the points, and get back to the game. No more arguing about who's actually winning, no more mental maths, no more scraps of paper going missing under the couch cushions. EASY SCORING, ANY GAME Score Keeper doesn't care what you're playing. Cards, dice, trivia night, house rules your family invented decades ago — if it has a running total, Score Keeper can track it. Add or subtract points in a tap, rename players mid-match, adjust the rules whenever you need to, and let the app handle the tally while you handle the rubbish talk. NEVER LOSE THE THREAD OF A MATCH Every point added, subtracted, or reset gets logged as you go, so you can always look back and see exactly how a game unfolded. Wondering who pulled off the comeback, or when someone tried to sneak in a suspicious +50? It's all right there. GO DEEPER WITH FULL MATCH HISTORY Want more than just tonight's final score? Unlock your complete match history and scroll back through every round you've ever played — handy for settling long-running debates about who's really the household champion. BUILT FOR GAME NIGHT Score Keeper is designed to disappear into the background of a good game night: quick to set up, simple enough for everyone at the table, and dependable enough that nobody has to ask "wait, what was the score again?" Add it to your next game night and get back to playing. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
