Pinochle scoring
without the pencil.

A scorekeeper for the card table. It doesn’t play the game — it replaces the score pad.

Entering a hand in PinScore: who won the bid, the bid, and each team’s meld and counters

How it works

01

Sit down

Type four names, or tap the ones PinScore already remembers from last week. Team names are optional. Then Start Game — there is nothing to configure first.
02

Record a hand

Who won the bid, the bid, each team’s meld, the counters. The second team’s counters fill themselves in, and PinScore shows what each team just scored before you commit — so a wrong number gets caught at the table, not three hands later.
03

Fix it when someone says “that was 30, not 20”

Every hand is listed and every hand stays editable. Change one figure and the totals for the whole game are worked out again. Undo the last hand, or delete any of them.
04

Play again

Finished games are kept hand by hand, with the date and the winner. One tap on Play Again starts the next one with the same four players and the same rules.

Made to be read at arm’s length

Both totals are printed large and in high contrast at the top of every screen, and PinScore follows the text size set in iOS right through the largest accessibility sizes. Buttons are sized for a hand at a card table, every control is labelled in words, and it works with VoiceOver. It is built for four people around a kitchen table, some of whom are not reaching for their reading glasses.

Your rules, not someone else’s

Three presets cover the conventions people actually play: double deck to 500, single deck to 150, and the single deck ×10 count to 1500. Underneath, the winning score, what a set costs, whether a team needs a counter to keep its meld, and who takes it when both sides pass the target on the same hand are all yours to set. The defaults work straight out of the box, so nobody has to configure anything before the first hand.

What it isn’t

Not a Pinochle game and not a teacher. There are no cards in it, nothing to deal, nobody to play against, and no gambling of any kind. There is also no account, no sign-in, no internet, no ads and no tracking — your games are stored on your iPhone and nowhere else.

Free to try, one price to keep

Three complete games are included. After that, a single $4.99 purchase keeps score forever — no subscription, nothing recurring. A game already on the table can always be finished, and games you have saved stay readable whether or not you buy.
