4/5Great app, but card display missing
This is a fantastic app for fencing referees. It is well thought out and does almost everything you want in the palm of your hand on a smart phone or iPod. However, IIRC, an earlier version would turn the screen yellow, red, or black for you to be able to show the cards to someone on the strip; I believe that feature is gone (the app still tracks cards, but doesn’t let you SHOW the card to the fencer). That’s the only reason I didn’t go with 5 stars. Any chance that could be added back into a future version?

4/5First App with Pool Scoresheets!! Awesome!!
Love this app! As a fencing parent, I'm frequently the scorekeeper. Finally here's an app that ALMOST does it all. Enter the names of the fencers in the pool. This app handles pools of 4 to 8 fencers. Score and time bouts with the counter/timer (similar to the stand alone "Score Counter" app) then "record" the scores to the pool scoresheet with the touch of a button. Made a mistake? You can edit the scores. It even gives you order of bouts and also calculates the indicators and places when the pool is finished. Fencers are going to really like this app. The ONLY thing missing (which will earn this app a fifth star) is the ability to save the scores for more than one pool and email them to your home computer. (It would also be nice to be able to keep your own DE scores and track where you are in the DE table--but that's for next version's wish list!)

5/5Best Pools App But Doesn’t Work on iPhone
Great app. Only one that easily tracks pools and displays them so you can readily use to check pool sheet. You do have to manually type in fender names but this doesn’t take long. Accurately shows bout order as well. Only complaint is that it only works on iPad and not on iPhone. So needs updating to fix. But if you have an iPad, highly recommend for all fencers who want to track pools and record results.

1/5App Crashes
Purchased this app for my iPhone 12. But when I try to add New Pool the app closes immediately. Tried restarting and reinstalling the app but no use. Please refund the app cost paid.

4/5Good app
Good app very nice format for the most part. Add a way to go back to the menu after hitting quick match and add a de tableau so you can see what seed you will fence if you are a given seed. Also, make it work for the occasional 9 person super pool. Other than that very good app those 3 additions and you have a 5 star app.
