Hand and Foot Score Keeper

Hand and Foot score keeper for the card table: enter each team's books, card points and bonuses at the end of a round, and the app adds up the round and the running total under your family's house rules. No more pencil, no more arguments about the math, in the Hand and Foot canasta your family actually plays.

Every round, added up right
The Hand and Foot score sheet shows the running total after every round, who is ahead and by how much, the minimum meld for the coming round and what it takes to go out. Tap any past round to fix a mistake; the totals update on the spot.

Tap in books, not math
Big plus and minus buttons for clean books, dirty books, wild books and every bonus or penalty, each labelled with what it is worth. Type the card points laid down and the points left in hand and foot, or count the cards with the built-in card counter. A live breakdown shows exactly how the round score was reached.

Your family's rules
Every family plays Hand and Foot canasta a little differently, so the house rules are yours to set and every value can be changed: book bonuses, red threes and black threes, the going-out bonus, card values, the number of rounds or a target score, and a minimum meld that rises by round or by score. Rename any bonus or penalty, add your own, or make one a yes-or-no item. Switch a running game to different rules and every round is scored again.

Six presets to start from
Classic, Simple, Club, Hand Knee and Foot, Play to 20,000 and a low-scoring singles set: the house rules the research turned up most often, ready to use. Keep score by team or by player, for two to eight sides. Copy a preset and edit the copy; the presets themselves never change.

Somebody wins, nobody argues
When the last round is in, the winner is announced with the whole score sheet underneath, round by round. Play one more round if that is how your table does it, or start a rematch with the same players in one tap.

Made for the table
Large numbers, a Largest text setting on top of your phone's own, a high-contrast mode and the option to keep the screen on during a game. Works in the dark. Works offline, with no account and nothing to sign up for.

Games are saved on your phone, so the score keeper picks any of them up where you left off, even a week later.
