We use this for Chicago scoring and it works perfectly. Fairly intuitive once you get the hang of it. You can print and mail scoresheets and it has a scorekeeper for points over multiple rubbers. Well done!
Really good app

It keeps score better than I do. it’s very easy to use, almost intuitive if you’ve been keeping score with paper and pencil. I was sold after the first use and haven’t gone back. It even taught me that I’d been scoring penalties (doubles and redoubled) incorrectly. And it looks just like a paper score pad so you’ll be able to read it from the start. If you score bridge, you want this app.
bridge scorepad review

Not thrilled- was a bit misled- thought it would not be JUST a scorepad, but also have games- would like to be able to return it and get my $ back- really no room on the bridge table for my i-pad- I am too used to the pencil and paper- have been playing bridge for 40 years but I love my new i-pad for other things- maybe i might buy a more expensive bridge game- but for right now I am happy with the social aspect of getting together with my friends to play.
Works well
Bridge newbie
Easy to use. I was scoring hands immediately. Was able to add player names - nice touch. I like the explanations of scored bids. now I will have scorepads and sxoring rules with me all the time.
Needs one more thing.....

This app needs an option to total the score in the duplicate interface and keep track of scores for each player for those playing party bridge and using duplicate scoring. It'd be nice if it could also calculate winnings for party bridge players. What it does so far is good. I'll give it five stars when it adds these features.

Excellent...Works real well and i can now concentrate on Bridge and not the scoring. paper and pen might cost more
Excellent

Very good application -- does exactly what you'd expect, does it well, and looks good. One feature request: it would be very nice if there were a way to email a completed scoresheet.
Love this app!

Brilliant! Love it. I just wish it had a way to keep track of dealer. Can't throw away pen and paper yet :(
Great job!

Amazing how a single purpose app can be so cool. I haven't used it in a real bridge game yet, but I "played" several simulated games and the scoring seems accurate. Also a really nice way to keep running scores. When I was in college (in the 70's...way pre-Apple!) four of us lived off campus and rotated partners and kept a year long tally to determine the individual winner. This app would have made our competition much easier!
