The app has been a fun way to play scores and keep track of our progress. I am unclear though on how the highest roll stat is getting calculated in the hall of fame and shame. For at least two of our top three “highest rollers” I am not finding any game where the total for “highest” roll is collected. Is it adding multiple different high rolls over a particular number? What is it calculating it with? For example it says a player has a highest roll of 5300. We interpret that as one player kept getting lucky during their round of dice rolling and finishing with 5300 to bank to their score. However, in looking through the saved game logs we do not find that player as having rolled that 5300. The closest was a game where that player rolled a 2000, 2450, and a 1050 all in one game. Which combined would be 5500, but that is over three separate scoring rounds not all in one. Also I am unclear what the section that counts ones fives, triples etc. We only play the physical Farkle game and when using the score tracker, there is no way to say how you got the score. Just to report the results. Any help explaining this would be appreciated. Is it possible that for the highest score player there was a game that was deleted and the score still is tracked? Thanks!
I’m not a “write a review” kinda guy, but we’ve been using this app for almost a year and it’s been brilliant. Sure, we can keep score with pen and paper, but it makes it such an easy way to play Farkle together at home or out with friends. And the stats! A killer addition to the app imo. It’s hilarious to see who has the most Farkles and the text at the bottom of the screen about not being liable for starting family feuds is a good one. Haha. My girlfriend and I love it and, thanks to the app, I know my win streak is real and not imagined, much to her chagrin. Anyway, 5 stars and $3 well spent. Well done, y’all.
I installed this before we sat down to play. We rolled to see who goes first and it wasn't the first person I'd entered, so when I tapped their name to enter their score, a color chooser popped up?! But I already selected a color. Why is it asking me again? I tried to drag the names in the order we were starting, but I couldn't drag to rearrange the names. I couldn't figure out how to enter their score, so I gave up and we got the pen and paper out. This app should be easier to use and not be so finicky. Tutorial? An app with such limited functionality should not need a tutorial. This app is simply poorly designed. All it has to do after entering players is let you enter numbers and add it to their scores. That's the baseline functionality. Anything else is nice, but it should not get in the way of that basic feature. Want to enter scores in a different order? Tap the player and enter the score. Don't get in the way. Want to let users move the players? Every other iOS app, that's a tap-hold and drag. Want to let them tweak a player color mid-game? Swipe to the left and tap settings on that player. This app is simply poorly designed. I recommend "keep score" instead. It's GUI has a better UX. And it doesn't get in the way of the user.
App worked for me after purchase, but since the last update or 3-4 days ago it has not been working. I have contacted app support and received an email to contact the app developer and the link given to do so has no valuable information or contact resources. Willing to change review if problem resolved, but if it can’t be resolved will also request refund. After fix: Thank you Daniel for reaching out and fixing the issue fast. I love the app and use it often and glad to have it back!!!
It’s amazing! I even convinced my in-laws to use it! I don’t see anyway to contact the developer about a bug / feature request so I’ll do it here? When I have many players such that I can’t see them all at once, after I enter a score, it doesn’t automatically scroll such that the next player is visible, but I think it should. That’s what the only fix needed, so still 5 stars. Kudos on a great interface!
The app is great! Very user friendly! My wife and I love being able to track our history! However, I have noticed that some of the stats are incorrect. Example, there is a stat for how many rolls you have made with a “six of a kind”. In there is says that I have rolls two of those. But when you go back into our history, not once was a “six of a kind” reported. Therefore the game game that number from _____? If the stats were fixed and accurate, it would be a 5*!
My wife and I have been playing Farkle for a few years now. We love the game and hate the math, which is why we love this app! Super clear and simple to use and even has options to set our favorite scoring variations. After two years of using restaurant napkins and borrowed pens, we now just keep a little set of travel dice with us when we go out and with just our phone can get our farkle on wherever and whenever we want. Four thumbs up!!
Fun and easy to use score card! Love the two different layout options. Would be cool to have an option for limiting a win to an exact winning score without going over. Love that the rules are in the settings if you don’t have the board or whatever. Over all very good app.
Great and fast way of scoring Farkle. Although, one suggestion. Could the next update include like a Bank and next player version. Once you hit bank score and go on to the next player, the score goes back to zero and then you have to quickly count those points back for the next person to continue on with the roll and score. Thanks.
We lost our Farkle score pad and found this. It does all the math and makes score keeping a breeze. I do have a question. One time when using this app, I hit something and it subtracted all our scores from 10,000 as we went. I really liked that but can’t figure out how I did that. What did I hit to make it do that? Thanks!
We love to play Farkle, but keeping score is a drag for the scorekeeper. This app makes it easy to keep score, has a history of our games and adds fun sounds to the scoring. It’s also got some added twists to the rules (if you want them). We couldn’t be happier with this wonderful app!!!
This is the coolest app! Farkle is a family favorite, so having instant access to this scorekeeper has been great, whether we’re sitting at home or traveling. Adding and rearranging the order of players is a real plus. I love that it allows us to play with our own “house” rules! Great customer support when I had a question!
We play Farkle all the time and alway use this scoring app. It makes the game more fun with quick scoring, color coded players that show progress. Highly recommend! I had an issue and received help right away to fix it on my end.
What I love most: °My screen doesn’t dim and lock while playing. °I can rearrange players easily to the order I need them in °The app keeps past player names in a “bank” just in case you play with them again. °I don’t have to do ANY math after a turn
Picked up this game at a yard sale. Downloaded the app after trying to keep score with pen and paper one night. The scoring app takes the math out of the equation which is great for a party game. Recommend for all the Farkleheads out there.
So excited to find this Farkle scorekeeper as our family plays avidly every single day! Happy to share with all our friends (since we have taught and inspired them to love the game as well!) Thank you and hope it is kept up and alive for many years to come!
Great app and easy to use for scorekeeping. There is a free trial mode and then you need to buy which is reasonable. What isn’t good is you can’t share that purchase with the kids in the family sharing because it is an in app purchase meaning you have to buy again for each person. I wish there was a better way and because of this I give a low rating.
I loved this app when I first got it but after about a week it stopped working. Now when I open it up and hit play it crashes and closes the app. Doesn’t matter what I do, nothing seems to fix the problem. Very disappointed that I paid money for it
This app was great until it started crashing but every time we opened it. We tried it on 2 different phones and it keeps crashing. I’m hoping it’s just a bug on the app that can be fixed.
I am not able to find the dark mode as they call it Farkle in the Dark. If it’s not the same with anyone else I’m very annoyed. Other than that great. Thanks for reading.
great app! recommended highly. devs: just noticed that some of the button labels turn into ellipses ("undo", "00"). you might check on font sizes and/or scaling of button labels. have an iphone xr.
The premium version is lacking grid mode which is the best way to keep score. Really bummed I paid for it now, would love to see that feature come back.
Fark yes! No more paper, no more scorecards; we’ll do the math for you. Plus, our fun graphics and sound effects will help you keep up with the game. Nothing beats the sound and feel of dice rolling along a hard surface, but keeping score was always a bit dicey. Keep the game analog while enjoying the benefits of digital scorekeeping. Farkle Scorekeeper features includes: • tracking players’ turns • showing who’s in the lead • building a directory of players • logging player’s highest roll Customize your farkle experience with bonus features like: • "3 consecutive farkles" mode - you control the amount of points to deduct from players who roll three farkles in a row. Watch as the heat turns up each time the farkle hits. • "6 dice farkle" mode - players can receive up to 500 pity points for every six dice farkle they roll. • "Winning score" control - only have time for a short game? You can set the winning score to 5,000 and play half the points while keeping the full winning experience. You can customize Farkle Scorekeeper for other games, too! Just switch out of farkle mode and you’re good to go. Put in the points and our app will tally your game up for you.
