more Thank you for adding my suggestion! This is exactly what I was looking for in a game tracker app, and my only hope is that this great app continues to be supported forever! It is so easy to use, adding photos to a player is a breeze. I love the tracking of wins with the little trophies. Everything about the app is great! HOWEVER I have another request- PLEASE add under the sorting page (where one can sort alphabetically by player, how many games played) Sort by GAME - my family and I play many different kinds of games. It would be so great to be able to sort stats by the type of game played. And also be able to sort by WINS and WIN PERCENTAGE overall as well as wins and win percentage within a particular game- that would be fantastic! Thank you for the great app!!

We used to use a spreadsheet in excel to track our game scores. This app works great for recording scores in different games. For some games it works well to keep a running tally. Love that you can easily see top scores for different games as well as # of wins. The preloaded game directions and templates are handy as well. Also offering this app for free with no ads is pretty much one of a kind. They do occasionally ask for a tip but it’s not obtrusive and totally understandable. When I’m not completely broke I will definitely contribute as it is well deserved. A way to export data would be a cool feature to add for the super dorks to graph and analyze way further than you really should. Thank you for your generosity!!!

I have tried 3-4 scoring apps over the years and none have been this easy to use, nor had this many fun features. I love being able to add players one time then have the app remember them for future games AND keep a record of their win/loss stats. I was also pleasantly surprised when adding a person mid game to have the app ask if I wanted to give them the average score. That was exactly what I was trying to do! Finally I love being able to share the scores with people in such a visual way. Download this app and try it. It is worth the time. If the programmer is looking for fun features to add, I would request a bar graph showing the current score. That would be so sweet for us visual people.

When we have family gatherings for the holidays, and any other event, it always ends in a late night game night. 95% of the time we are grabbing a notepad & pen to keep track of scores. The other times it using the Notes section on my phone which isn’t easier. This make it so much easier to keep track of the rounds, players and of course total score. This is worth having if you play games with your friends and family. If you don’t then you should start! I also like being able to add a picture next to the player’s name, not because it makes it easier to know who it is but to place hilarious pictures there. It’s also nice when a couple new people join for game night.

This fixes an issue some people had migrating their data from the previous version of the app into this new version. In case your data is migrated twice, just go into the game and person lists from the Home Screen and merge the duplicates. Cheers!

1.3.0 06/09/2016
A quick update to address a crash some people had when scoring in history mode, as well as addressing people getting stuck creating a new player from the players list.
1.2.0 Release Notes:
Just in time for the holidays, this version makes two key features much easier: entering scores and adding players to games.
## Entering scores
One of the most requested features was to add a simple calculator to make it simpler to add up your scores. This is particularly helpful for those games late at night when your brain doesn't want to do any more. Simply calculate the score as needed, or just enter it directly.
## Adding players
The previous version made it much easier to add players that you had already set up, but it was a little harder to get them in the first time. Now, you can just type the player's name. If they've already played a game, you'll see them show up and you can tap to add them to the new game. Otherwise, just hit "Done" to create a new player. Quick and simple!
This version also added an Undo and Redo button right in the game screen to make it clearer and easier, addresses a number of bugs and makes minor performance improvements throughout the app.
Thanks for all your comments and feedback, as well as your generous tips. Reviews make it much easier for other people to find Pointedly, so if you have a minute to leave a review, that would be a huge help.

1.2.0 12/17/2015
This is a quick fix to address crashing when reordering players. Sorry!
1.1.1 Release Notes:
- With some great help, this version addresses the problem of data not coming over from the previous version. Sorry for the trouble!
- Adds 3D Touch support for iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus with launch shortcuts and game previews.
- Simplifies navigation of your player list, which is especially nice when you have lots of players.
- Addresses some sizing issues to better support the iPhone 4S and other small screens.
- Other bug fixes and stability.
Note: If you had data in version 1.0, it will show up in this version. Since I added a player bank in version 1.1 that wasn't there before, you might end up with multiple versions of players from earlier games. If you delete a player that is part of any games, you will have the option to replace that player with someone else. This should help you consolidate your player list down to just the actual people that you want in your history.
Thanks for all your help and support! I really appreciate the feedback and kind tips that have been given to support ongoing development of Pointedly.

Along with iOS 9 support, this version adds some major updates. The app has undergone a beautiful design overhaul to make it easier to use. You now have the ability to restart a game with the same people and settings without overwriting the previous game and a bank of players so that you don't have to add the same person over and over again. We also added a gorgeous results screen so you can share all your victories.
