Canasta Score Card2.5 - App Store

This Canasta score card is based on the popular Hand and Foot score card. The score card can keep score for up to eight players and allows for partners with 2, 3, or 4 players per team.

The score card will automatically determine minimum melds after each hand for each player.

A wild card canasta entry option can be enabled on the settings tab for those who play with rules allowing wild card canastas.

For those who do not want to subtract the points left in the hand, a hand points entry can be enabled on the settings tab. The entry will always be negative.

The values for each of the scores can be set for multiple versions of the game on the settings tab.

Variations of Canasta rules are presented on the Rules tab. Internet access is required for accessing the rules web page.

It is possible to print the scores directly to an Airprint supported printer on the History tab. The scores can still be saved to the Notes app using the Copy All button in the History tab window. Open the Notes app and select paste.

The score card allows data and settings files to be saved to a computer. The data file contains the history of the all the games which can be copied from the data file to a text file. CAUTION: DO NOT MODIFY EITHER THE SETTINGS OR DATA PLIST FILES MANUALLY. THE APPLICATION CAN CRASH IF THE FILES ARE MODIFIED.

If you have further options requests, recommendations, or you have found a bug, please feel free to send me an email. Thank you and enjoy the app.

Version History This version has been updated to take advantage the latest IOS features. Note the minimum iOS supported is now 15.6. 2.5 11/12/2024 The Canasta Score Card app has been updated to the latest iOS SDK using layout constraints. Note that localization is no longer enabled for languages other than English. Unfortunately, I keep this app in the store as a hobby and it is just not worth the effort to keep multiple languages. So, I decided to remove the French localization.

For this release, the following bugs were fixed:
- Fixed history display on startup
- Fixed incorrectly displayed points subtotals
- Fixed minimum meld values when partners are enabled

Also for this release, the following features have been added:
- Hand meld entries are enabled for all players including when partners are enabled
- Popup windows now have larger font sizes which is the same as the scores totals font size
- Open hands, i.e., nobody goes out, are now enabled by selecting the next hand without selecting Went Out
- URL editing in the Rules tab is no longer enabled to help keep the scope on the Canasta rules

I want to thank Bruce C. for his enhancement ideas and guidance. Everyone is welcome to send me ideas and feedback through emails for any enhancements or bugs. 2.3 07/04/2021 - Fixed score window scroll issue.
- Changed URL for rules from http to https due to app transport security block. 2.2 01/31/2017 Updated to work with IOS 9 and a bug fix causing the scores to not display properly. 2.1 11/13/2015 Dealer buttons have been added to the Score tab to allow keeping track of the dealers. The buttons do not affect the score.

A History tab has been added. The score window on the Score tab now only shows the current game score. The History tab shows all previous scores. From the History tab, the scores can be printed, deleted, or copied to the clipboard to paste to another app for sharing.

Due to the inability to test the score card using iOS prior to version 7.0, the score card now only supports IOS 7.0 and later. 2.0 06/16/2015 No new functionality. This version is just to support iOS version 7.0 and above. Earlier versions of iOS are no longer supported. New functionality will soon be in the next version. 1.2 01/09/2015 This version now supports localization for France with no new functionality. I want to thank Alexandra Turmon for translating all the text to French. Other languages will be added as time permits. 1.1 02/13/2014 1.0 04/02/2013
