Can I contribute games I'd like to add? Or maybe run a local version customized for the games my group plays?
As far as contributing, maybe I'll put this up on GitHub...
Mosaic will be useful. Can't believe the retail version didn't come with anything to track score.
As you add additional games, I would include a search bar on the main page.
- Even with 2 players seeing everyone's score requires horizontal scrolling, which is annoying.
- In addition, the scrollbars seems to only appear when a cell is selected. And even then it only actually works with 2 finger scrolling. And even then, it is inconsistent.
- Having to double tap in to enter a score is annoying.
- Not sure what the "play" column is for. If it's intended to be the word played by that player, then it's too small for many words, and it doesn't even make sense for many turns (e.g. player is connecting existing words, or passing). Furthermore, IME most people don't bother keeping track of previous turns words.
My $.02 on improving, since I hate non-constructive criticism:
Make each player some sort of bottom tab, with their score visible. Clicking the player can show all the details.
Drop the "play" column.
Auto-prompt for next players score, don't make me find the right cell and double click into it. Provide special operations for editing previous scores or marking turns as passed, challenged, etc.

Please add 7 Wonder: Duel also.

Not trying to be overly negative, but here are some things I'm seeing: - Even with 2 players seeing everyone's score requires horizontal scrolling, which is annoying. - In addition, the scrollbars seems to only appear when a cell is selected.

I'm not a regular Scrabble player so feedback from actual players is helpful. I've seen the play column and thought it was a neat-to-have feature, but on mobile it's a different story.
For gaming, existing scoring apps had more complexity (and friction) than I was after. I wanted something quick & dirty.
I ended up on Google Sheets with some simple formulas. Other groups also started using it. It seemed to be something I could generalize with a bit more work, and here we are.
Welcome any and all feedback.
Pressing the 'settings' tab enables modes for games like 'Whist' that involve betting, as well as configuring the number of players.
