Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is the BEST app and weve been using it for years. Many people download it after they see how it works. 100% recommend. Good for iPad or iPhone. We use it for a variety of games and we love how it saves the rules and players for future games or even to pause and resume a game later. Five Crowns, dominoes, SkyJo, Flip7, UNO, golf, etc. 2 player or multiplayer. High or low score winner. Fun you can save player profiles and add photos.
Love the app so much so Ive donated. No more need for any paper for any tracking for anything.
The template capability is very useful. We have setup templates for Qwirkle, Five Crowns, Qwidler, and Mexican Train dominoes.
We use this all the time. Once you get the game set up, its in there forever and you can use it over and over again.
This is our favorite card and dice scoring app for all sorts of games. It had unlimited possibilities for keeping track of all the various games, with many options for tracking scores. Highly Recommend.
This is a perfect app. Does what its supposed to. No fluff. No annoying ads. And the GUI is beautifully done.
This app is so easy to use even for a 70 year old person.
Had this for years and its simple. It does not have all that crazy other stuff that makes other apps overwhelming.
We loved the functionality of the app, it makes keeping score very easy. Our only feedback would be to have a game time to see how long games last.
The best way to keep track of multiple types of games. We have downloaded countless game tracking apps and this is by far the best one. Everything is free & no ads! Decided to leave a $ tip because we appreciate that so much. Thanks.
Our family plays a lot of games and this is A great free app to help us keep score without missing any conversation.
Does multiple games and with history to keep score for your competitive side. Well done.
Very easy scoring as well as adding and subtracting players. Wish there was a look back feature to verify last score was added. Thanks.
And the nice colors keeping it fresh.
We used to use a spreadsheet in excel to track our game scores. This app works great for recording scores in different games. For some games it works well to keep a running tally. Love that you can easily see top scores for different games as well as # of wins. The preloaded game directions and templates are handy as well. Also offering this app for free with no ads is pretty much one of a kind. They do occasionally ask for a tip but its not obtrusive and totally understandable. When Im not completely broke we will definitely contribute as it is well deserved. A way to export data would be a cool feature to add for the super dorks to graph and analyze way further than you really should. Thank you for your generosity.
This is essential for a great family game night! Download this app! Be a user for years. Its the best Ive ever used.
This app is phenomenal! We absolutely love it! One simple request would be to add the ability to group players into teams! Some games like hand and foot that would be an incredible feature.
We use this app a lot . It would be cool to be able to cast it to the tv.
We downloaded this recently and love the features of this app. Simple to use and great for a variety of games.
This works very well with games that have several rounds and over 4 players. We play Dominies a lot and many of the other game score keepers only allow 4 players. Others do not let you see each round and you can also correct round scores.
The BEST score keeper there is !! So thankful for this game.
Best way to keep scores. A lot of options.
We use this app all the time. Easy to use and works for any game you can think of.
Perfect for games like Qwirkle and sushi go when you have to add points. No ads or in app purchases! Its easy to use and theres just a tiny glitch that when you make the profiles and select a picture for it sometimes the picture is upside down but that only is a glitch if you care about the profile pics like us Anyway, this is great, you need to try it and give it 5 stars bc it deserves it! Awesome job, guys! Keep it up.
Nice to have the history of all the games weve played and who won.
Overall its easy to use and does a great job keeping score for any game.
And so nice to see such high-quality family-project tip-ware in the App Store. A couple of feature ideas for you: – Option to disable idle screen dimming during a game, so you dont have to wake up / unlock the device after each played – Some sort of prominent turn indicator so we dont lose track and let someone play twice.
Can be used for any game. Great interface.
We give it five stars but WHY WHY WHY cant you clear the score on the scorecard? Why create a new one each time? Senseless.
It has everything we needed and it looks beautiful.
This is exactly what our family needed! We love that you can add any game template and set different options. We put the app on our IPad and now everyone can see the score. We felt guilty using this free app that we sent the developer a few bucks.
The app is great, but it would be helpful to be able to keep track of what round people are on in addition to their score (think Phase 10). Additionally, the feedback email will only work for those that use the Apple Mail app, but not for those using Gmail or other email apps. Would love to provide an option to have rounds go either horizontally or vertically.
This is a decent app for keeping score in most games. The buttons for typing in the score should be bigger. It feels like the button is the actual text instead of the area around the text. It made typing score difficult. Sometimes it wouldnt even take our inputs.
So, this app really is wonderful. We chipped in and donated because it was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, we had to go from 5 stars to 3 because when we return to the app, it shows the last game as in progress instead of completed and showing the correct score. We really wanted a track record of who has won the most games categorized by the different games we play. Keeps the competiveness up! Hopefully this can be an easy fix by the developer. IPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 15.5. Even tried forcing the upload to iCloud.
It takes forever to put in the players names. Definitely not an improvement over the last version.
Great app for keeping score while playing boardgames.
Our aunt introduced us to Pointedly and its so easy to use! We love being able to set up our favorite family games and easily track points.
Super easy to use definitely our favorite scoring app.
Thank you for adding our suggestion! This is exactly what we were looking for in a game tracker app, and our only hope is that this great app continues to be supported forever! It is so easy to use, adding photos to a player is a breeze. We love the tracking of wins with the little trophies. Everything about the app is great! HOWEVER we have another request- PLEASE add under the sorting page (where one can sort alphabetically by player, how many games played) Sort by GAME – our family and we play many different kinds of games. It would be so great to be able to sort stats by the type of game played. And also be able to sort by WINS and WIN PERCENTAGE overall as well as wins and win percentage within a particular game- that would be fantastic! Thank you for the great app.
We love this app! It works for all our games and is lots of fun to text out the results to brag when you win.
Love this for any game we play as a family.
App is really easy to use and helpful.
We use this for every game. We really do.
There is nothing bad to say about this app. Even no missing features.
This app has a lot of control over how to count scores! You can keep track of different games with different people and have them all saved for later reference or to pause and play on a different occasion.
We were looking for an app that would keep score card games. It was surprising how few options there were in App Store. We found this one and love it! So much so that we "rewarded" the developer with a tip!! The search continues for a good trivia app.
Been using it for a few years. Simple and solid.
We love how the score can be displayed by round and includes a calculator. We would love if it would also keep track of whose turn it is to deal.
This is AD-Free, it works great, the interface is easy to navigate. We really like the simplicity and functionality.
A very intuitive and easy to use point keeping app. Love that its developed by a family, and not a corporation. Love it and Ill be donating.
