## Description

Count The Pigs is a scoreboard app for Pass The Pigs. Use it to record scores as you play with friends. Scores are auto-calculated as you tap on the pig positions, and the app supports two players by default with an option to add unlimited players via in-app purchase. You can configure the rules to match how you like to play, and every throw and earned point is saved for posterity, with a photo included for each pig position.

Every position you throw is stored, and you can enable or disable players to keep a clear results history. This is a companion tool for the physical game rather than an electronic version of Pass The Pigs.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise Count The Pigs for speed, ease of use, and reliable group scoring, plus helpful visuals and optional multi-player support via in-app purchases. Common drawbacks include Family Sharing/IAP sharing limits, no quick global reset, automatic score erasure at 100, limited mid-game score visibility, and no option to customize game rules.

### Pros

- Faster and more efficient scoring compared with using paper and pen.
- Easy to use, intuitive, and self-explanatory.
- Helps keep score accurately and reduces reliance on paper score sheets.
- Supports more players in group games via in-app purchases.
- Includes helpful visuals (pictures and examples) to explain the rules.

### Cons

- In-app purchases and Family Sharing restrictions limit sharing premium features with family groups.
- No quick global reset; you must reset each player's score individually (no 'reset all').
- Scores are automatically erased when the first player hits 100, preventing others from catching up.
- Score visibility is limited mid-game; it’s hard to see everyone’s points after someone reaches 100.
- Rules aren’t customizable (e.g., winning score, post-win extra rolls) and can’t be adjusted in the app.
