Games Keeper

When I decided to get an app for scoring my games I looked at the apps available, chose what looked like the best two, and bought them both so I could experience them and have the best. I chose this one for its intuitive interface, ease of use, flexibility, and because it does nearly everything a person could want in a score keeping app. The second best thing you can have in ANY app is responsive support. When I had a question I used the “Contact Support” option and the author responded quickly with an answer and a possible added option in a future update. The software and the support both get 5 stars from me.

I like the app. I think the only major issue I have with it is the fact I can’t put in the game title and save that to history. I design board games and playtest several times in a day and this app is helpful, but if the data can’t be tagged by the game played it is kinda a letdown. This is a very rare use case, and the app is very good. I would suggest storing names and letting you select previously used ones from a list. And also adding the same function to the game title, so you can select game names and not have to type them each time.

My friends and I enjoy this app, especially with the graph that charts players’ scores over time. Adding scores in increments of 1, 5, and 10 took a little getting used to, but is fun after awhile. My main complaint is that, if I too quickly hit the arrow to move to the next player, the score I have entered for the previous player gets added to the next player. It would be more intuitive for the arrow button to register the score before shifting to the next player.

This app is fantastic but there is one thing that really bothers me. I wish I could disable the timer feature all together. It makes adding up big scores a pain as it puts a ton of points on the graph. I can pause the timer but it starts again when you go to view results. If you guys could add a feature to disable the timer all together that would be fantastic!

I like this app, but..... it has issues For some reason, with two players, there are 4 scorecards. Visually distracting and confusing. Each player score appears on 2 cards. Better to have one card per person The active players card is displayed in the center of the screen with an arrow in each top corner. Better to highlight the active card with a border or more visible icon. Maybe use larger font on active card. I wish I could change the color of the cards to match the color of the pawns being used by that player, and use a more neutral background color. I wish the player name was in a larger font too. With a few interface enhancements this would be the perfect app I would pay for it. The buttons are a great interface, the automatic turn change is nice, simple to use!
