Games Keeper Reviews

Works well and does what it needs to. Non intrusive and no sounds and crazy on screen ads. Good stuff.

One feature I would like is the ability to simply show all scores on the screen at once. Even if they are smaller tiles in two rows. With 6 player the tiles do this sort of odd disappearing on one side and reappear on the other - it is not smooth like a photo carrousel. Makes changing scores in non-turn based games a bit cumbersome.
It also make it so I can’t display the score and let everyone see where they stand. Someone is always asking for me to swipe to see whoever is off screens score.

Second feature I would like is for each score tile to show the last change or two. So when I am looking at the state of the game I can see why score is 200, and in the corner in smaller font would be (+25) or whatever showing that I had just gotten to 200 by getting 25 points.

Thank you

My app keeps freezing when I try to remove a player to start a new game. If I close it and reopen it I still can’t remove anyone. I really love GamesKeeper and use it all the time. Please fix it quick!

I like GamesKeeper . 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 GamesKeeper 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 GamesKeeper 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 GamesKeeper, 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.

I like GamesKeeper, 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!

Putting points in is not intuitive, especially if you need to switch between positive and negative scores. I was constantly struggling to put in the right numbers and then after making mistakes, had a very difficult time undoing it. Maybe the paid version is better but I have been consistently infuriated by the way GamesKeeper works. The only thing it has going for it is that switching to the next player after inputting score is cool.

GamesKeeper 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!

In general I really like this scoring app, but unfortunately it can spontaneously crash/quit in the middle of a game, and the accurate scores are lost when you restart. Since this has happened now a number of times, I’ve switched to another scoring app that doesn’t crash. Nice interface and design though. Wish you could customize the colors...and that it was actually dependable!

Works as advertised! To show options, press the Apple Watch screen down with enough pressure for options to pop up

This was pretty sharp until the newest feature of selecting the option for lowest score wins. With that option selected it does list the players correctly with the lowest score at the top of the list. But the rank number now shows all players being #1 instead of lowest is #1; next lowest is #2 and so on. All players enjoy being #1.

Love using GamesKeeper to keep track of scores for the kids in my after school program. It would be nice for it to allow multiple games at once that you can swap between instead of starting a new game for each new team/game. Otherwise great.!

GamesKeeper does exactly what it needs to do and does it well!

GamesKeeper is easy to use. I love the simplicity of adding scoring. A game option I’d like to see is low score wins. This should reorder the player list from low to high score. Thanks for this simple, effective app.

My only issue with the game is the fact that im unable to to access history without premium membership. Other than that, it’s great. Would recommend.

Great app for tallying scores. My only complaint would be that the recently added “Go to next player automatically” option keeps re-enabling every new game.

I love GamesKeeper. It makes playing games that you have to score 100% more enjoyable.

I am also experiencing the issue with GamesKeeper freezing when I try to remove a player. When that’s fixed I’ll change to 5 star.

Excellent app. Great interface. Was a bit puzzled/surprised GamesKeeper doesn’t advance to next player after score is entered for the current turn.

Games are keeping us sane during quarantine. GamesKeeper is great for keeping score

Cool app for keeping track of board game scores and game duration. Worth the $$$.

Please add feature that lets you add more players while game has started.

Thanks

We use GamesKeeper to keep track of scores of our scrabble games. GamesKeeper is simple and intuitive. Highly recommend.
