Community Insight:
This app works so much better than having to have a paper and a pen, the in app purchase of $2 is fair if your going to use this app in a group larger than 2. The only thing we wish this app did (not the developers fault) is have a way to bypass paying through apple for the in app purchase. We have family sharing enabled and its been restricting us so much to be able to buy the premium features. We have some other apps where you can create a quick account online and pay using your card.
Great App. The only thing we would change is to make it so that all of the scoring/tallying buttons for a player fit on a single screen without having to scroll.
Best pig based app on the market.
Need to be able to subtract with a mistake.
Its the perfect app for the game. Its simple, its easy to use. It has examples in pictures, its completely self explanatory. They added a mute button correctly so if youre playing music it doesnt interfere with Bluetooth. Keep it up.
Thanks for making an accurate scoring game to keep us from writing on the current itty bitty score sheet! Great job.
Well thought out app that fills a niche. Better than paper and even small children can be the swineherd. Gladly purchased in app to add more players.
Would love an option to change what score we play to and an option for everyone to get one last roll after the first person passes the winning score.
The app is super helpful for keeping score, but it would be even better if we could change the game rules. We play so you can keep rolling after you hit 100 (so you can still pig out and not win) and everyone gets one last roll after someone wins to try and catch the person that goes out first.
It automatically erases the scores when the first person reaches 100. It doesnt allow everyone a chance to beat it. :(.
Its dumb that you cant see the score/who has how many points as soon as one person hits 100 points.
We like this app. It is pretty intuitive to use and it's perfect to scoring the pig game. We're usually the family scorekeeper for that game and it moves so fast that scoring can be quite tedious. This app makes all that very easy. The only con to this app is you can't (or we haven't found it yet) reset all the players to zero. You have to actually go in to each players score card individually and hit the "Makin' Bacon" button to take their points away and make it zero. Other than that this app is perfect.
We absolutely love this app but PLEASE let us toggle the sound to off within the app. We stream music wirelessly and it stops the music when the Oink sounds.
Good app. Nice pics and easy to use. Need a button to clear banked points in case pigs touch each other. Also, there needs to be "banked points," "round points," and "total points" indicated.
