For the longest time I've been using ScorePal. This app is amazing.
The best functionality is that it has "score sheet templates". These templates that are created by community and can then be used by everyone freely. All you had to do was select the game and fill the score sheet, the app calculates score and winners automatically. Here's a pic from their website
The app also has other goodies such as:
-
(Paid) BGG synchronization
-
Tons of stats and graphs with metrics such as win-rate
-
Nice interface
Unfortunately this app is no longer mantained by the original creator, last update is from 2018. BGG synchronization seems broken, I never find community score sheet templates anymore. I can still create my own scoring templates, it works fine, but the community aspect is gone.
I was wondering what everyone else is using. I've tried a bunch of apps, but I never found an app that is so good at creating custom scoring templates as ScorePal. I'd like to support an active developer but haven't found a good alternative.
I’m a big fan of Board Game Stats and it is regularly updated, last time being a month ago.

I second Board Game Stats. It’s got a bunch of great customizing options too. You can do things like set the scoring method to things like players vs. game, or if you are playing a game in small teams, you can add multiple players onto a team to collectively track their score.
I’m also a sucker for data and stats, so it’s always fun to be able to look at previous plays, game statistics, player win rates, and other things. It is always a little bit of a bummer that it’s my score keeping record and my win rate is only about 30%.
this one looks great!
I'm pretty sure I have installed this app in the past but I think it didn't have any scoring templates :(
Seems like it's a planned feature now, tho!
Bg Stats Released score sheets today.
Says there is "over 660 taylor-made [sic] game specific templates already available"
Haven't tried these yet, but rest of the app is good
Gonna give it a go, thanks for sharing!
Had no idea this app existed. Thanks for sharing!
Same, I love Board Game Stats. I never thought I’d care about a board game app, but BG Stats is the best.
OP’s looks cool, it’s unfortunate that it’s not maintained.
+1 for BGStats app
