Description
WingMate is an unofficial companion app for the award winning board game Wingspan, designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and published by Stonemaier Games.
The app lets you:
* assign a name and action cube color for each player, and order the players based on seating position
* select an Automa player as one of the five players as well as difficulty
* pick or randomly draw the end-of-round goal tiles
* randomly draw the starting player and show the first player for each round
* display Automa moves based on the Automa cards included in the game. Automatically tracks face-down birds, eggs and end-of-round cubes
* score each player's total for the end-of-round goals, and then display the action cubes on the goal board
* total each player's points per category (birds, bonus cards, end-of-round goals, eggs, food on cards and tucked cards)
* automatically sum the values of each bird you score by tapping the point value of each bird
* show and share a summary of the game results
The free version of WingMate lets you explore how the app works. To fully score a game, you need to purchase the Scoring Unlock via an in-app purchase on the WingMate Store. For solo play, the free version lets you preview the Automa player. To play a full game, you need to additionally purchase the Automa Unlock.
WingMate requires macOS 10.15.4 or later.

Ratings and Reviews
Can’t Play Without It
I almost never review apps, but my partner and I play Oceania’s Automarazzi co-op mode all the time (over 70 games at this point), and we couldn’t imagine not playing with WingMate.
The ability to run Automa with just a few taps, without having to worry about keeping track of their supply, round cards, Automa deck, etc is such a time saver.
Outside of just Automa, WingMate is by far the best way to score your games. Beats the Stonemaier scoring app by a landslide, and all other unofficial apps. Just pressing the numbers to add together your bird point values is so nice.
The design and feel of the app is also perfectly aesthetically aligned with the game, and fits right on the table beside your player mat. You’d think it’s official. The app is also still updating (Asia expansion functionality on its way), so you can expect a purchase to last.
Only feature I’d love to see would be an option to save the records of your games within the app. You can very conveniently take a screenshot of the final scoreboard, but my screenshots folder is getting a bit big 😅
Plus it might be nice to have that tied in with some player stats function (i.e. highest score ever, most cards ever tucked, most food ever cached, etc.). That’s all just bonus features though—the app does what it’s supposed to, and does is perfectly.
All in all, if you’re not opposed to introducing a phone to the table during Wingspan time, get this app!! (And get Wingsong too while you’re at it)
Almost Perfect!
Wow, this was amazing! My only advice for the developers is to state exactly which scores you are asking us to input. For example, instead of just a picture to indicate what we are scoring, also include “Tucked Cards” in the header. I have played waaaay too many games and therefore know myself what it is you’re asking for but think this could be super helpful for others. Hope you take this into consideration. Thanks so much and what a fabulous job you’ve done with this app! (I read another reviewer mentioning it would be helpful to save scores for a running tally to calculate the biggest scorer overall; that would be awesome!)
A must-have!
This app is so worth it! I absolutely love it and I can’t imagine playing without it. I love playing solo, so this makes it so much easier. I hope they are working on the integration of the Asia expansion for both multiplayer and solo gameplay/scoring. Looking forward to it!
