Pros and cons of Oh Hell ScorePad 2 app for iPhone and iPad

Oh Hell ScorePad 2 app good for

The app does a nice job of performing the score keeping, to include the scoring variants that my group uses. I wish it had a coupe of features that the scoring program that I wrote for my laptop had, though. First, the app should be able to very easily compute the maximum number of cards to be dealt in the round based on the number of players. Second, it would be really nice if the app indicated whose deal it was for each hand -- seems silly, perhaps, but my group is always forgetting who dealt the last hand. With these two additions, Id very happily be leaving my laptop at home.
Even though this is the only Oh Hell scorecard Ive found, its still the best! I love being able to play without searching for a pen & paper. After a long night of cards adding up the scores can gat taxing...nevermind remembering which hand youre on. This app does it all for you. It even has stats so you really know how awesome youve been playing.
Love the app. It makes scoring a breeze. The new update makes scoring much more flexible, and it allows for the variation my friends and I play (books bid minus books taken). Wish there were an overview screen, but that doesnt keep me from using it.
Great way to keep track of the scoring. Easy to use and track scores.
This app is very, very nice. Use it for every game. Need to fix issue with iOS 8.1. Can not exit out of setup page. Thanks.
I grew up playing "Mormon Bridge", a card game passed down through generations on my moms side, and keeping score was always a pain. I randomly thought to search for an app that might help and I was so surprised to find this! Even though its a relatively unknown app, the developer has taken the time to keep it updated and running smoothly through the iOS updates. A must have for this game!

Some bad moments

Iphone 3GS using iOS 5.0.1 encountered a significant scoring bug upon download. Underbid scoring is not properly recognizing the variable "taken" as a penalty. Formula: Penalty Taken+0 Bid 4 Taken 6 = Penalty 0 INCORRECT!!! Scoring rules page properly lists the penalty that should be given, actual scores do not reflect this. Im shocked that this has not been fixed by this version and hoping that it stems from the recent software update. Please fix this so that the app can be used.
Loved the original oh hell scorepad. This is a poor update/upgrade. Bugs with the name entry, bugs with the scoring. The only thing that I was looking for was the ability to have more players. The other features seem to have introduced a host of issues/bugs.
