This Universal app enables the scores of games to be recorded simply without needing to use pen and paper, while giving the impression that a piece of ruled paper is being used. It can be used for recording the results of many types of games, for example Scrabble, darts and golf, as well as many card games such as UNO, Hand and Foot, tournaments, the pointy end of sailing regattas etc. It can even be used to simply add up a list of numbers.
Score Recorder displays the running total of each players scores so they dont have to be added to the previous total after each round, thereby reducing the need for mental arithmetic.
Names of the players or teams or groups are easily entered and their colours changed. Multiple games can be scored at the same time. Each game can have an unlimited number of players. Completed games can be easily deleted using right to left swipe on the Games list screen.
• To start, tap the Games button at the bottom to create a Game and then add some players. Double-tap a players name to change its colour.
• To enter a score tap the players name or total score or immediately under the players last score; enter the score with the keypad that appears and then either tap the OK button on iPhone or return on iPad, or tap another player.
• Negative scores are easily entered with the minus sign at the top left of the iPhone keypad or in the usual position on the iPad keyboard.
• To delete a score or game: long-press on the score to reveal a red minus button alongside the score. Tap that to reveal the red Delete button.
• Games can be sorted by the players total scores - ascending or descending. When sorting is selected, the columns are sorted by totals left to right as scores are added, modified and deleted.
• Scores can be modified by simply tapping on them
