ScoreBoard+ 1.0.0.0
When such games are played, it's usually someone's job to track the points awarded to each participant or team and for that person it would be a lot easier to enlist the assistance of a specialized tool like ScoreBoard+ for Windows Phone.
Nice and clean look, with a simple layout
This application was made with practicality as the main focus, but the appearance was not left out completely, so the backgrounds have a pleasant feel, thanks to the gradient images displayed inside the two sections.
The scores of each team are clearly visible, as the clear fonts used inside the GUI are well chosen to ensure excellent legibility. All the operational commands are neatly placed inside the main screen and they are easy to access, thanks to the very convenient arrangement.
Add the teams or players and track scores on the go
Even if ScoreBoard+ appears to have been made to favor score keeping for teams, it can be equally useful for games where two players are involved. Unfortunately, the number of participants cannot be increased, so the app has a rather limited range of uses from this perspective.
Adding or subtracting points to either of the two parties involved in a game is a simple task, as you can use the dedicated buttons to increase or decrease the score.
A very neat feature here is the use of various intervals that make it possible for you to append or deduct several points with a single tap.
Set maximum points and toss the coin to see who starts
This utility offers you a simple method of establishing the winner automatically, by specifying a limit that when is reached the game ends and the winning and losing sides are established.
A drawback brought by this feature is that you will not be able to add scores unless that limit is specified and the app crashes if you try to leave the field blank.
To establish the team or player who will begin the game you can use the "Coin Flip" facility that is accessible by tapping the white button next to the "Reset" function.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The looks of this app are quite nice, with tidy graphics and a fairly well designed layout, so it earns some good points from the visual perspective. |
Function6
The feature set is a bit above the basic level, with a nice extra in the form of the coin flipping function, but the lack of options for several players and the fact that users must specify a score limit are some major letdowns. |
Security9
ScoreBoard+ is quite discreet while running, as it doesn't need to peek into secure areas of the system, but it accesses the music library for some reason. |
Battery7
The power consumption for this utility is a bit above average, as the battery usage reaches high levels at times. |
Price7
For games that involve only two participants, this app can be quite useful, but its limitations make it lose a lot of value compared to many similar tools. |
Compatibility8
Only users with more recent handsets, powered by Windows Phone 8 or above can have this application installed and running onto their mobile devices. |
