Score Anything Reviews

It works well for keeping score! 3 stars because I wish I was able to delete saved set-ups that I no longer need. I also wish I could set up more than 6 players on one page. I play with larger groups and switching between 2 pages can be too much sometimes.

ScoreAnything works well and looks nice. The only thing I wish I could do is add a score of zero. It would be easier to keep track of turns if I could add zero to a score (and can count how many zeroes before a penalty, like in Farkle). Other than that it’s great, and I like you can keep different scorecards in it with preset point increase increments

Just downloaded ScoreAnything and am looking forward to using it. A few suggestions and a bug.

Can’t delete a game, you can rename it, but not remove it.

No way to declare a winner.

Doesn’t track games won for players. I have to have a pencil and paper to keep track of who won games.

Can’t set a “play to” score to be reached to determine a winner.

If you undo a score then switch games, when you return back to the previous game, that undone score will always be displayed again. Using the reset score does the exact same thing.

Thanks for all your hard work!

The only reason this isn’t a 5 star review is because you can only have a maximum of 6 players, if it gets updated to have more than 6, my review would be updated to a 5 star review.

Edit: I have a few games that can have 8 people playing it and would love even just having 8 players be possible. Thanks developer for replying so fast!!

We use ScoreAnything for all the games we need to keep score! The only thing I would suggest is a way to keep track of which round of gameplay you are on (a counter).

Please add a tip jar to send you some money.

I love ScoreAnything! Great UI design. Simple and elegant. One humble request. I’d like to be able to run ScoreAnything and fill the screen on an iPad. I’m using ScoreAnything to keep score for billiards games and it would be nice for everyone around the table to see the current scores. Well done.

I cannot say enough good things about ScoreAnything. It is so flexible and easy to use, it has become a staple in my friends' hangouts scoring anything from card games to pong. Would love some added flexibility to go above 6 players. I try to put everyone in ScoreAnything :)

Easy to use, simple app for keeping score for tabletop games (or anything else you might need to count). Nice options for changing colors and player count. Easy to use interface. I’d say it’s a must have when you’re gaming and need a simple way to keep score.

Does exactly what it sets out to do nearly perfectly. I love that you can keep track of old games. The only two things I would love is if it would 1) add an option for a round counter and 2) save the date and time of old games automatically. Definitely get ScoreAnything tho!!

I really like ScoreAnything! It’s smooth and easy to use– plus the labeling options make everything really easy to track. I like using ScoreAnything in games like Dominion where not points aren’t officially added up until the end, but I can keep it all tracked on ScoreAnything to my advantage. The only things I would like to have options to change is:
1. Allow more players– I tried to use this last night in a game of 8 people and I was sad that it only went up to 6.
2. Let the user switch the orientation of the text– ScoreAnything is set up to have the scores face who at the table they belong to, but in my experience, one person keeps score and everyone else just asks the score keeper to tell them or pass the phone when they wanna know.

All in all, a wonderful, free app! 10/10 would recommend!!

Any other time I opened up a new calumet app I’ve just downloaded, I am immediately greeted but a friendly reminder that in order to use this free app you’ve downloaded, you have to pay for a subscription to even use basic functions. ScoreAnything is really simple in it’s design and is really intuitive to use. I love the idea of a spinner to add multiple points, and even the option for negative points. It also great that you can name each “player” and even assign them a color. My only gripe is that when adding points to a “player” at the top of the screen, the numbers are upside down, but that’s simple and actually makes sense if you’re facing someone else, just an option to change this would make this even better

Exemplary app!

I’ve needed ScoreAnything! We love playing card games and such. I love that you can keep track of multiple games. For how small ScoreAnything is, I installed it immediately! My only ask is some sort of short term history. I’d like to undo whatever points my (small) kids just gave or have evidence to resolve disputes.

ScoreAnything makes me mad. Because why didn’t I discover this earlier??? It’s so helpful in counting anything. I’m a developer myself and I was just about to make a score keeper but decided to search first. ScoreAnything’s design is so simple and elegant yet completely functional and beautiful, it makes what I was going to make look stupid. Great job, dev!

This was exactly what I was looking for to replace finding a pad of paper and pencil every time we play a game. I love the design for adding points via a swipe-circle gesture rather than typing in a value.
One thing I would like added is a simple way to keep track of rounds. Like maybe after scores have been locked, you could tap a button to start a new round.

This is a great app for keeping score! For both card games and board games as well as many others! It’s great to be able to keep score on the go and not have to worry about hunting down pen and paper or having paper blow away if playing outside. One new feature suggestion is to add a center button that you can swipe towards a players score to add a preset amount to their tally. It would be nice for games that have a defined “bonus” points like Gin or Rummy.

My mother is 83 and I play a lot of card games with her. ScoreAnything is the perfect thing to use to keep score. I can place my phone between us and she can easily see the score and that alone is huge. But what makes ScoreAnything so amazing is being able to assign each player their own color, the simple mechanic for adding to each person’s score, and the ability to undo if a mistake is made. ScoreAnything is everything I’ve needed in score keeping.

ScoreAnything is amazing. I use it to score pretty much all games my family plays. Reading a lot of other reviews, I don’t really care for any of their suggestions except for making it 8 player, but even then I don’t really ever play games with more than 6. I like the simplicity, and don’t want it to become too complicated with multiple games and such. If a multiple game feature is added, I would rather it be in the settings menu and not the main screen. Great app!

My family and I have been using ScoreAnything for a week and it’s perfect. Easy to add and subtract score, save games, choose colors, and so on.

My one thing I’d want in ScoreAnything is the option to have all scores face the same way. When we play, the middle of the game is taken, so we prop up the phone to show the scores. It works, but this means the scores on the top are upside down and hard to read at a glance. An option to change it so they’re all orientated the same way would be helpful.

Not only is this exactly what I was looking for, but it exceeds my expectations. I was looking for a way to gamify my life. I tried other apps like Habitica, but you have to go by it’s way of doing things. ScoreAnything gives me the flexibility to make my own rules based on how I live my life. I give it 4 stars because of the haptic feedback and the ability to create different score cards to track different things at the same time. It also has decent color choices and a good UI. But I think the only missing thing is it doesn’t make feedback sounds. One thing that Habitica has over this.

This works flawlessly to track scores and thing like health and recourses. I’m wondering though if it would be possible to have an option to orient all the scores the same way. It would be even more amazing for tracking character stats for one player
