Software Reviews and Criticism

  Good app

  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

  Found a bug

  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 the app and use it all the time. Please fix it quick!

  I like the app. And I would like to buy the upgrade, but...

  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.

  Good but not great

  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.

  A bit confusing but otherwise good

  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!
