Put down the paper pad. Fivebar is one beautiful scorekeeper for everything you play at the table. It is not a game. There is no computer opponent and nothing to beat — it is the score sheet, done properly, for the games you already play with real people. EVERYONE SEES THE SCORE Start a SharePlay session and the scoreboard appears on every phone at the table, live, as you score it. No more leaning over, no more asking what the score is. One person keeps score, exactly as they always have — everyone else just watches it happen. EIGHTEEN SHEETS, ONE APP • Scoreboard — any game at all, your rules, your target • Dominoes — thirteen hands, running totals done for you • Cribbage — a real pegboard to 121, with skunk lines and a peg that moves • Dice Sheet — five dice, thirteen boxes, with a live upper-section bonus • Darts — 501 down to a double, busts enforced, checkouts suggested, legs counted • Cricket — 20 down to 15 and the bull, marks and points kept properly • Bowling — ten frames, with strikes and spares counted properly • Farkle — bank or bust, race to 10,000 • Phase Race — ten phases, fewest points wins • Card Rounds — rummy, canasta, whist and more, with a bid column • Hearts — avoid the points, lowest wins at 100 • Spades — bid every hand, race to 500 • Belote, Coinche and Tarot — full French scoring, deal by deal • Pétanque — one to six a mène, the game in 13 • Table Tennis and Pickleball — eleven, win by two, sets counted for you ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app shows the running score and takes points with the Digital Crown. Handy when the phone is lying in the middle of the table and you are not. SETTLES THE FIRST ARGUMENT TOO Everyone puts a finger on the screen and Fivebar picks who starts. When the game ends, one tap plays it again with the same table and the same house rules — and the result shows how it actually went: who led, how often the lead changed hands, how long you sat there. BUILT FOR A REAL TABLE Big numbers you can read across a table. Buttons you can hit while holding cards. Undo on every screen. Turn the phone on its side and it becomes a table board — giant totals, readable from every seat. SEASONS AND RIVALRIES Add the people you play with once and they are one tap away next week. Every finished game feeds a league table with form, streaks and head-to-head records, by month or across the year — so someone at your table is about to find out they are losing 12–3. HONEST ABOUT THE RULES Belote, coinche and tarot vary by region. Settings states exactly which published variant we score by, and any hand can be corrected by hand. NO NONSENSE No account. No ads, ever. Works completely offline. iCloud sync between your iPhone and iPad. One purchase, not a subscription. FREE TO TRY The Scoreboard and Dominoes sheets are free for up to four players. Nothing ever interrupts a game already in progress.
