I use this app for its main use, to keep score in many games. I put students who are unable to participate in charge of using the app if possible. I also use the scoreboard as a tool to assess the understanding of the content. For example, Badminton, the score relates to where a player should be standing. If the score is 3 to 6, the team with 6 is serving, they should be standing on the right side. This app also has a timer, so it can count down for 5 minute games while they keep score. It is also less equipment then a real scoreboard in the gymnasium. This app also has a feature so students can create team names on the score board so they know who the points go too, not just home and guest. A student could put there name (John) or a team name (Badgers).

Additional Comments:
The app is free so it has ads that pop up after the score is cleared. They are not inappropriate and are easy to close. It shouldn't be a problem for the age of kids using the score keeping app.
