Chess Score Pad

Chess Score Pad is for chess players who want the ease and accuracy of an electronic scoresheet. There is no need to write down coordinates, just move the piece by dragging or tapping. Since you see a graphic of the board for each position, you know your scoresheet is accurate.
Category Price Seller Device
Games $4.99 Roger Carey iPhone, iPad, iPod

Portrait and LEFT and RIGHT hand landscape layouts.
There are several features to make it easy to enter game information like the event, names, round and date.
The moves are automatically saved.
After the game you can print the notation or email the game notation with a PGN file attachment.

More screenshots and documentation of all of the features can be found at ChessScorePad.com

Note:
There is a factually incorrect review , "No option to flip the board?!" Of course, this is not true. The very top option of the toolbar action button is "Rotate Board". You can also use a rotate gesture that is commonly used to rotate photos. Also, if you enter your name in the app setup, it will automatically put the correct color at the bottom. This is all documented on the "Support URL".

Great app for easy recording of chess games
Jlaztech

This app has a lot of great features for what it allows you to do as far as recording chess games. What I would like to see added is a built in player list for those club players you play the most.


Enhance export of games

Would like to be able to save pgn and export multiple game at a time.

Great app, pgn file has no flaws in comparison to chessscribe. The only snag is having to figure out how to work some functions in the app which you can figure out in a few minutes. But otherwise no problem, moves are saved automatically, you can even edit a game after it has been saved which is a plus. One thing I would have love to see is having move notations with the time, hopefully in an update that will happen.


Great for Tournament Chess!
ChessReviewer

This app was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted an app on my iPhone that would allow me to keep record of my games with faster time limits, like G/30…and this is it! You can tell that the developer is a tournament chess player, because all the features on this app are essential for recording a chess game. The design is very clean and simple. All your moves are automatically saved, so there's no risk of losing your game. And probably my favorite feature is the ability to email yourself the game in PGN format. I'm definitely pleased - great app!


Excellent App!
Jedi.Knight

It's about time someone made a functional chess score pad. There are a few others in the App Store, but they are of a very crude design and functionality. This App however is Excellent! The developer did a wonderful job. The App has even allowed me to enter in old games and put the date in even as far back as 1992. The other Apps would not allow a back date to be put in. Keep up the good work! I'm sure there maybe future updates to this App, but right now, I can't even think if any suggestions for future additions. The App is just fine the way it is.


Does what it says very well
blinddrive

It's the only program that does this function well. Ways to improve (and make it a no-brainer buy-it-now app for the $7.00 (or more!)) 1. I love the simple way you can record moves! Any way to keep this, but also have a "review" or "journal" mode where you can input variations and annotations? You could even ease navigation through the variation tree by integrating more of those awesome finger gestures you have already used. This mode would be incredibly helpful, especially with access to the talk-to-text feature to comment. Have the comment show prominently in a separate frame next to each position? I would gladly pay $25 for that capability. 2. Looking forward to standard algebraic notation! 3. Add more tags to your app store search. I couldn't find this app without really digging. Pgn should be a tag, for instance. Overall, great app. If you make even a different program to do these things, I will buy that too.


Love it
AWOLUK

I was using chess scoresheet for the longest time, but, being an iPad user, I was annoyed at having to play in 2x, ewwww. This app is not only designed for iPad, it's perfect for tournament play. Hats off to the designer and coder.


Great tool
Jason ch.

Great App - really pleased
boboneill

i'm currently using this app in a USCF corr. tournament. I have also used it in over-the-board tournaments (note: you may need tourny director approval, but i haven't had issues). this app does what it says it will do. i'm very happy with it. reserving 1 final star for enhanced time controls that respond to corr. matches.
