Just what I wanted
TyJMiller

This app does exactly what it claims and does it very well. It was exactly what I was hoping to find.

Does Not Count Rolls
Birdydon

Scoresheet does not count rolls. "Zero" entries into a section causes great confusion. Very difficult to determine when game is over. Keep your paper pads until the developer fixes the problems.

Awesome
StephenGrady

Perfect app! Had no score cards and this made a great night!! Wish it had instructions but caught on quickly.

This is great
Skyholm

This app worked great. Great that we could put 0 into the numerical rolls, and it keeps a running total for the 35 pt bonus. Made it easy to just pass the phone instead writing sheets.

Works great!

I saw the rating and hesitated to download this app, but we needed a Yachtzee scorecard and so gave it a chance. No issues with it at all. The only thing I had trouble with was wanting to undo a score I mistakenly entered on the wrong card and I was able to fix it after glancing through the instructions after pressing on the Help button. It would be nice if you could track multiple rounds to keep a running tally of games won/lost but that's hardly a reason to not use this app.

Perfect

This is a great app, don't be fooled by all those negative ratings!! It's unfortunate that this app has gotten so many 1-star ratings. Clearly almost all of those people were looking for a yahtzee game but didn't read that it's a scoresheet. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A YAHTZEE GAME, I've also downloaded Yachats made by the same people, which is a perfect rendition of Yahtzee. It's exactly what this app would be if it were a game. In any case this app is perfect. I was looking for an easy way to keep score of Yahtzee games I was playing with friends and family and this is *exactly* what I was looking for. You can keep track of everyone's score simultaneously (up to 5 people), it keeps a running tally of how close each person is to the 35-point bonus, it's really quick and easy to put in the scores, plus it even looks nice. The scores for each person at the top of the screen turn orange when all their scores are filled in which is handy to be able to tell who's finished. If you put the score in a wrong place or put in a wrong score or something, you can just double-tap the category to clear it. And that's another thing - you can enter scores freely for anyone, there's nothing that makes it auto-move to a different person or assume anything you don't want it to, which is really nice. And anyway it's FREE. Download it! The sad thing is that the fact that it's free probably has a lot to do with all the negative ratings - people probably just downloaded it in a free-app-downloading frenzy (which is what I tend to do) without reading or caring since it was free, thinking it was a game. BOO
