Bridge Scorer

About this app

BridgeScorer is an app for scoring whilst playing the Duplicate Bridge card game.
It can score either at-the-table, or after the event.

BridgeScorer normally scores at-the-table. Each table enters scores as the boards are played.
Only one instance of the app is required, but you'll need (at least) a phone for every table.
If preferred, each pair can have their own phone (which they take with them as they move round the tables), and submit scores when they're sitting north-south.

The phones communicate over WiFi.
Only the phone running the app needs to be an Android device (phone or tablet), the others can be any feature phone or tablet with a Web-browser, even an iPhone.

BridgeScorer can also score a complete duplicate bridge session (from the travellers).

Rubber and Chicago bridge can also be scored.

BridgeScorer produces results as web-pages which can be easily uploaded or distributed by e-mail.

No computer (Windows, Mac or any other) is required.

Wakelock.
When running BridgeScorer "at-the-table" with connected client devices, BridgeScorerService needs to keep running even if the phone is asleep to respond to requests from those clients.

Ratings and reviews

I had trouble entering data. Too small for my fingers. Samsung G7. I reinstalled and see that I can resize the data entry screen. Thanks for the response. I will take try it out during bridge this and next week and will change my review accordingly.

Great app for scoring Bridge in small clubs. Our club uses 7 inch tablets and all buttons easily tapped with fingers or stylus. Most important the developer has written a very thorough manuel and has been very responsive via email to our questions.
