Farkle Scorekeeper – Board Game Review
Farkle Scorekeeper is a Board/Family/Entertainment game from NieStudio Creative LLC, first launched in 6th December 2018.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 2,138+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Farkle Scorekeeper Stand Out
Fark yes! No more paper, no more scorecards; we’ll do the math for you. Plus, our fun graphics and sound effects will help you keep up with the game.
Nothing beats the sound and feel of dice rolling along a hard surface, but keeping score was always a bit dicey. Keep the game analog while enjoying the benefits of digital scorekeeping.
Farkle Scorekeeper features includes:
• tracking players’ turns
• showing who’s in the lead
• building a directory of players
• logging player’s highest roll
Customize your farkle experience with bonus features like:
• "3 consecutive farkles" mode – you control the amount of points to deduct from players who roll three farkles in a row. Watch as the heat turns up each time the farkle hits.
• "6 dice farkle" mode – players can receive up to 500 pity points for every six dice farkle they roll.
• "Winning score" control – only have time for a short game? You can set the winning score to 5,000 and play half the points while keeping the full winning experience.
You can customize Farkle Scorekeeper for other games, too! Just switch out of farkle mode and you’re good to go. Put in the points and our app will tally your game up for you.
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Definitely a lot of time was spent to making this nearly perfect app. Thanks.
Scorekeeper has all the options you need for all the variations you play. Our one wish is for the option of a different Farkle noise. One like the waa waa noise from the price is right.
Appreciate the free version because it gave an opportunity to use it with the game and after some time decided it was worth to purchase and support the developers. Its made the game play easy with scoring and show a players progress to winning. Providing other game variations was cool to learn and lead us to purchase the Spicy Farkle Game we have one suggestion: if possible as players decide to continue rolling and add up the points, if there can be a way to show real-time visual of the points adding up like a calculator before banking and also be able to clear in case of accidental adding.
This app is awesome! Love paying Farkle with the family, but the scoring can slow down the game considerably. When the wife and we play alone with cocktails this is a lifesaver! Devs: We would love to see the ability to customize the sound effects. The kids think it would be funny if it made a f*rt sound when you farkle, lol.
This application make this game so much more fun.
We hated keeping score on pad works perfect.
We used to have 10 for temper, tantrums when we lost, but now we want other people to win.
Love this app is there a way to team score.
Must have for Farkle games makes it way easier.
Glad we found this scoring solution easier than paper, handy, complete, and nice simple graphic thats not cluttered. Well done.
Love we can keep a history too.
Easy to use and keep track of the games played.
Love this but cant turn off the hints. We selected the toggle to turn off hints but at every new game it shows us how to add a player and then how to reorder them.
The app is great! Very user friendly! Our wife and we love being able to track our history! However, we have noticed that some of the stats are incorrect. Example, there is a stat for how many rolls you have made with a six of a kind. In there is says that we have rolls two of those. But when you go back into our history, not once was a six of a kind reported. Therefore the game game that number from _____? If the stats were fixed and accurate, it would be a 5*.
Low key bro we js dont like the adds.
The app has been a fun way to play scores and keep track of our progress. We are unclear though on how the highest roll stat is getting calculated in the hall of fame and shame. For at least two of our top three highest rollers we are not finding any game where the total for highest roll is collected. Is it adding multiple different high rolls over a particular number? What is it calculating it with? For example it says a player has a highest roll of 5300. We interpret that as one player kept getting lucky during their round of dice rolling and finishing with 5300 to bank to their score. However, in looking through the saved game logs we do not find that player as having rolled that 5300. The closest was a game where that player rolled a 2000, 2450, and a 1050 all in one game. Which combined would be 5500, but that is over three separate scoring rounds not all in one. Also we are unclear what the section that counts ones fives, triples etc. We only play the physical Farkle game and when using the score tracker, there is no way to say how you got the score. Just to report the results. Any help explaining this would be appreciated. Is it possible that for the highest score player there was a game that was deleted and the score still is tracked? Thanks.
Great app shared with all our game friends.
We installed this before we sat down to play. We rolled to see who goes first and it wasn't the first person we'd entered, so when we tapped their name to enter their score, a color chooser popped up?! But we already selected a color. Why is it asking us again? We tried to drag the names in the order we were starting, but we couldn't drag to rearrange the names. We couldn't figure out how to enter their score, so we gave up and we got the pen and paper out. This app should be easier to use and not be so finicky. Tutorial? An app with such limited functionality should not need a tutorial. This app is simply poorly designed. All it has to do after entering players is let you enter numbers and add it to their scores. That's the baseline functionality. Anything else is nice, but it should not get in the way of that basic feature. Want to enter scores in a different order? Tap the player and enter the score. Don't get in the way. Want to let users move the players? Every other iOS app, that's a tap-hold and drag. Want to let them tweak a player color mid-game? Swipe to the left and tap settings on that player. This app is simply poorly designed. We recommend "keep score" instead. It's GUI has a better UX. And it doesn't get in the way of the user.
We purchased the app and used it once before it crashed. As of writing this review, it still is not back. Nice waste of money.
Picked up this game at a yard sale. Downloaded the app after trying to keep score with pen and paper one night. The scoring app takes the math out of the equation which is great for a party game. Recommend for all the Farkleheads out there.
Perfect companion app for our favorite dice game. A must have for all farkle players.
Im not a write a review kinda guy, but weve been using this app for almost a year and its been brilliant. Sure, we can keep score with pen and paper, but it makes it such an easy way to play Farkle together at home or out with friends. And the stats! A killer addition to the app imo. Its hilarious to see who has the most Farkles and the text at the bottom of the screen about not being liable for starting family feuds is a good one. Haha. Our girlfriend and we love it and, thanks to the app, we know our win streak is real and not imagined, much to her chagrin. Anyway, 5 stars and $3 well spent. Well done, yall.
Great and fast way of scoring Farkle. Although, one suggestion. Could the next update include like a Bank and next player version. Once you hit bank score and go on to the next player, the score goes back to zero and then you have to quickly count those points back for the next person to continue on with the roll and score. Thanks.
This app was great until it started crashing but every time we opened it. We tried it on 2 different phones and it keeps crashing. Im hoping its just a bug on the app that can be fixed.
Worked great for about a week and now just crashes without starting the app. We tried everything and finally gave up.
Not sure how a modern society has continued to function without this app! Makes it so much more fun for everybody.
Great app! The creator is very responsive in taking ideas and making changes to make this app even better.
That's pretty much it every time we open the app we hit play and it closes the app out.
App worked for us after purchase, but since the last update or 3-4 days ago it has not been working. We have contacted app support and received an email to contact the app developer and the link given to do so has no valuable information or contact resources. Willing to change review if problem resolved, but if it cant be resolved will also request refund. After fix: Thank you Daniel for reaching out and fixing the issue fast. We love the app and use it often and glad to have it back.
We loved this app when we first got it but after about a week it stopped working. Now when we open it up and hit play it crashes and closes the app. Doesnt matter what we do, nothing seems to fix the problem. Very disappointed that we paid money for it.
It does not work after updates, crashes upon opening. Multiple friends have this app, same thing.
Fun and easy to use score card! Love the two different layout options. Would be cool to have an option for limiting a win to an exact winning score without going over. Love that the rules are in the settings if you dont have the board or whatever. Over all very good app.
We play Farkle all the time and alway use this scoring app. It makes the game more fun with quick scoring, color coded players that show progress. Highly recommend! We had an issue and received help right away to fix it on our end.
Its amazing! We even convinced our in-laws to use it! We dont see anyway to contact the developer about a bug / feature request so Ill do it here? When we have many players such that we cant see them all at once, after we enter a score, it doesnt automatically scroll such that the next player is visible, but we think it should. Thats what the only fix needed, so still 5 stars. Kudos on a great interface.
We use it all the time , much easier than pencil and paper.
Way easier to keep track of scores and history. 5 stars if the players were random starters. Now the same player always goes first.
Great app! Recommended highly. Devs: just noticed that some of the button labels turn into ellipses ("undo", "00"). You might check on font sizes and/or scaling of button labels. Have an iphone xr.
This app is awesome especially when playing with a bunch of friends and having a few cocktails.
Using this app has made the game easier and faster to play. Im very happy with it.
We love this app! Better than using paper, easy to use, add names, undo, etc. Has it all but the dice.
Love this and use it all the time.
We love to play Farkle, but keeping score is a drag for the scorekeeper. This app makes it easy to keep score, has a history of our games and adds fun sounds to the scoring. Its also got some added twists to the rules (if you want them). We couldnt be happier with this wonderful app.
We lost our Farkle score pad and found this. It does all the math and makes score keeping a breeze. We do have a question. One time when using this app, we hit something and it subtracted all our scores from 10,000 as we went. We really liked that but cant figure out how we did that. What did we hit to make it do that? Thanks.
We are not able to find the dark mode as they call it Farkle in the Dark. If its not the same with anyone else Im very annoyed. Other than that great. Thanks for reading.
Simple, clean and it works well. Perfect. Waiting to see Phase 10 and Skip Bo.
In the middle of a game and we decided to check our weather app. We switched back to the scorekeeper and our game reset. That makes it useless to us.
This is the best Farkle app we have run across. It is so thoughtfully designed. We really couldnt ask for it to be better in any way.
Our family of 6 loves Farkle and this app makes it so easy to keep score, revisit the rules, and lookup points for unusual rolls. Great app.
Love it! Makes scoring super easy.
Great app and easy to use for scorekeeping. There is a free trial mode and then you need to buy which is reasonable. What isnt good is you cant share that purchase with the kids in the family sharing because it is an in app purchase meaning you have to buy again for each person. We wish there was a better way and because of this we give a low rating.
