About

Trickpad

Features
Read full description

Trickpad keeps score for the card games real people actually play — Hearts, Spades, Euchre, and anything else you deal — from a fast one-screen scorer that works completely offline. Most card game score keeper apps just add and subtract numbers. Trickpad actually knows the rules. Enter hearts taken and the queen of spades, and it computes penalty points and shoot-the-moon swings automatically. Enter a Spades bid and tricks won, and it handles overtricks, bags, and the 100-point bag penalty for you. Record a Euchre hand and it scores the march, the alone march, and getting euchred correctly — no mental math at the table, ever. For everything else — Rummy, Gin, cribbage night, whatever your table plays — free-form Tally mode gives instant plus/minus scoring per player with a running leaderboard. Included (no purchase needed): • Tally mode for any card game, unlimited players • Hearts with automatic penalty and shoot-the-moon scoring • Real-time leader highlighting • Fully offline — no account, no ads, no data collection Trickpad Pro (one-time unlock): • Spades bidding, tricks, and bag-penalty scoring • Euchre team scoring with march and alone bonuses • Hand-by-hand history — replay how the game unfolded • Export to CSV — share results with your table
