Getting frustrated with all the other score keeping apps out there? Tired of your phone circulating around the table just so every player can see their score? You don't know exactly what Uncle Jake has been through, but you certainly don't want any of it getting all over your phone! Well, say hello to Talking Score Keeper - or maybe it should say hello to you! It's the only app that announces who's turn it is, their score, how much they need to get to be in first place and much more. It's all customizable in an easy, intuitive interface. And with the Tally feature, Talking Score Keeper can even be used with games that allow multiple scores in a single turn. These points can either be added to the current player's total or surrendered, depending on the rules of the game. And speaking of points, you can always pull up a history of who scored what on each of the previous turns. So go ahead and download this great utility and be confident you will never have to read anyone's score to them ever again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Games Keeper at none against Talking Score Keeper's shown. Games Keeper also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 35 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
