Our Expert Score
If you play Sheepshead, this app is an absolute game-changer. Scoring a game of Sheepshead can be notoriously complex, especially when you have rotating players or complicated 'doubler' rules. Sheepshead Scorer takes all that mental math off your plate, allowing you to focus entirely on the cards. The interface is clean, colorful, and clearly designed by someone who actually plays the game. It handles everything from 3 to 7 players with ease and manages the 'Sit Out' rotation flawlessly.
What I love most are the thoughtful features like the 'Left Game' button and the ability to reverse past hands if a mistake was made. It even keeps track of who is dealing, which sounds simple but is a frequent point of confusion in long sessions. The 'Standings' screen is a great touch, providing a detailed history of wins, losses, and scores that you can email to the group after the game. It’s easily the most comprehensive and user-friendly scorer available for this classic card game.

Tips & Walkthrough
Start by entering the names of all players. If you have more than 5, use the 'Sit Out' feature to let the app handle the rotation. During the game, simply select the 'Picker' and 'Partner' for each hand and the app will calculate the points based on the outcome you select.
Gameplays
Use the 'Standings' tab to see a breakdown of who has the most wins, who picks the most often, and overall score rankings. You can also use the 'History' tab to review or edit any previous hand if a scoring error occurred.

Solid scoring app
Fri Apr 19 2019 G. LutzThanks for making this! Its been useful. I like the ability to have a rotating seat to sit out for when you’ve got 6-7 people. A couple new feature ideas: 1. Have a screen that shows all the trump cards as a reference for newer players. 2. Indicator for the called suit. Sometimes our games move slowly with interruptions and someone always forgets this. 3. Allow inserting a player in a particular position after the game has started. We had someone show up late and had to enter him in the last seat but it was not the position that he was sitting in. So I had to manually change the dealer token around. This works fine but is easy to mess up after a few 🍺 and a little 🌳.
Great scoring app
Fri Aug 16 2019 Techie1002This is a pretty neat little app that is so handy to use. I’ve figured out a workaround for how to score when players come into the game late and then sit somewhere other than after the last player, but it would be great if you could add the ability to add a player and choose the position. (Right now I just either start a new game and use the player history feature or ask the new player to sit next to the person that was my last entry.)
Love the new update
Tue Jan 16 2018 Nate MikulskyI was worried for a while that the developer wasn’t updating the app anymore but not only has it been updated for the new iOS, they’ve even added some more features. Great job!
Works nice!
Fri May 04 2012 ImZippityDooDaHas all the features one would need and works perfectly. Now we don't need to exchange money after each hand during our games.
Great!
Sun May 20 2012 WendioneMakes it easy to see the game history. Stats are interesting to review, wins, losses, picks, partner. Auto dealer sits out feature and dealer movement take question away of who dealt last. Lester's, doubles, playing alone all handled easily.
Need iOS 11 Support
Sat Oct 28 2017 DaversonHelp! My favorite sheepshead scoring app is no longer functional. Let’s get this thing update so I can continue to love this app and use it for decades of more sheepshead. Otherwise amazing.
