Built a simple Straight Pool scorekeeper — looking for feedback from 14.1 players

LG L455DL Android Version 10.

I'll reinstall it to see if I can reproduce the issue.

On first launch it worked as expected. I closed the app and relaunched and now the screen is all twitchy and the bottom on the screen is cut off. I did managed to get some screenshots which I'll be able to upload when I get home in a few hours.

I installed the iOS version. It’s insisting I open an account and I don’t see a way to try out the app unless I do. I frankly don’t want to provide my email to open an account. Is there a way to try it without an account?

Hey @slach , I know it’s been a while, but I wanted to let you know that I heard your feedback and just released a new version of the app that lets you use it without needing to log in or create an account.


You can now simply choose Guest Login, enter your name, and enjoy the full experience of the app right away.


I’d love for you to give it another try and share your thoughts — your feedback would mean a lot and really help me keep improving the app

I downloaded the app. It seems very intuitive. At first glance it seems very polished. I simulated a match under guest and deleted it so I can start fresh. The start up screen still cuts off but not a deal breaker.

I am glad you liked the app and are willing to use it for your matches. I am sorry if the screen got cut off. I will take a look and will try to see if I can resolve the issue. Will it be possible for you to share device details? As in ios / android and phone please?
I can try and replicate the issue and resolve it.

Hey everyone,

I’ve just pushed a major update for the Straight Pool Scorer app based on the feedback I’ve received from players actively using it at the table.

The biggest focus of this release is a completely rebuilt tablet-friendly UI. A lot of you mentioned wanting to mount an iPad or Android tablet near the table for easier scoring without squinting at a phone screen. The tablet and landscape layouts have been redesigned to take full advantage of the larger screen real estate, making it much easier to read scores, innings, and run history from a distance.

Here’s what else is new in this version:

• Live Run & Rack Tracking: You can now see your ongoing run while running racks, the last run made, per-rack and last-rack ball counts, and clear rack labels directly in the inning log.
• Match Deletion (with Auto-Recalculation): You can finally delete eligible matches. If it was a shared match, it requests opponent approval. Once deleted, the app automatically recalculates your all-time break ball stats, averages, and high runs.
• Smarter Gameplay Flow: Added a new "Game Won" action for when you are within reach of your target score, plus the exact logic to pass back an opening break foul.
• Under the Hood: Faster opponent QR scanning and a new feedback tool in the profile menu so you can report bugs or suggest ideas directly to me.

If you’re still using pencil and paper or an older legacy app, give this a try. It’s built specifically for 14.1, properly handles the 3-foul penalty logic, and even features a live OBS overlay for those of you streaming your matches.

Let me know what you think of the new tablet layout!
