Great app, I think there is a scoring bug.

I was double checking scores and I think the pumpernickel bread is scoring as 6 instead of 9.


Good App

Needs an update to accommodate Dice Tower promo cards. Otherwise quite helpful app.


Great accessory

trackrunner16

Great companion for the board game. Havent bought the fun pack yet but possibly could in the future. The biggest asset is the scoring tool since scoring has several aspects. Must have if you have the game!


OK, but needs a lot of work

The Scott

This app has a few of useful features, like the timer and automatic calculation of bonuses, but it loses out on almost everything else. I was hoping for something along the lines of the exemplary 7 Wonders companion app, and this falls far, far short of that. This is just not ready for prime time. Entry of player names is awkward and weird. If you tap the timer screen wrong (which happens often enough), it goes all crazy and can only be fixed with a forced restart. You can't enter numbers on the scoring screen; instead if you have, say, 12 apples, you have to tap the apples 12 times (with plenty of lag, so it takes a couple tries each time before you and the app are on the same page). The bonuses should be calculated after all scores are entered, not as you're entering scores. And even worse, the paid parts of this app are the absolute worst things about it. The sound board is just obnoxious. And the "statistics" are laughable. You don't actual get any stats other than who won. Not who got what bonuses, how they won, anything at all. Just tracked number of wins, which I could do with a post it note (again, look at the 7 Wonders FREE companion app for reference on how this function should work). Guys, it's a nice idea, but you need to scrap this thing and start over from the beginning. Give us something functional, especially if you're going to charge for it.


Needs work

Every action is sluggish to respond to taps. Tapping something that is part of the “fun pack” brings up a modal dialog. Not bad itself, but tapping quickly can bring stack this dialog multiple times so that you have to dismiss several in a row. Rules section opens a web browser. Would be nicer if it was in app AND has same issue with sluggishness where if you tap quicker than it responds the app will proceed to keep throwing you back to the browser at least twice. The new player action brings up a text input, would be nice if it also focused on the input to bring up the keyboard for you to save a superfluous tap. Adding players should probably be possible via the section named “player management”. Would be nice if it defaulted the players in new games to same as previous game.


Could be better

Why no final breakdown of score, it just gives total.???


Bad math as of 01/23/15

Mechmuertos

The app does the math completely incorrectly when calculating totals. Combined with not showing the tally break down AFTER players have put in their totals makes this app, which should be able to perform basic calculations, worthless and unusable.


Not supported by 4s

Employee001

Unable to use timer. Unable to select/name more than 3 players. Can still be used to calculate final score (?), but only for 3 players.


Great app!

Good app would give it a 5 star rating if it automatically added the bonuses.


Show King and Queen Bonuses!!! ?

Jolly Roger 1

Game history (with upgrade) needs to show who had what king's and queen's bonuses. At game end, when showing the winner and adding the scores, the app should show who had the king's and queen's bonuses for each item.
