Pros and cons of Bridge Scorepad app for iPhone and iPad

Bridge Scorepad app good for

Would be nice to be able to email results to bridge players after session from within program. Perhaps a running total in a spread sheet for individual players over period of months.
Thank you for this ... it takes the work out of keeping score. I messed with it for a few minutes and figured it out. Yahoo!!! Plus a fellow Greek developed it. Sweet.
Easy to use. I was scoring hands immediately. Was able to add player names - nice touch. I like the explanations of scored bids. now I will have scorepads and sxoring rules with me all the time.
Excellent...Works real well and i can now concentrate on Bridge and not the scoring. paper and pen might cost more
Very good application -- does exactly what youd expect, does it well, and looks good. One feature request: it would be very nice if there were a way to email a completed scoresheet.
Brilliant! Love it. I just wish it had a way to keep track of dealer. Cant throw away pen and paper yet :(

Some bad moments

Not thrilled- was a bit misled- thought it would not be JUST a scorepad, but also have games- would like to be able to return it and get my $ back- really no room on the bridge table for my i-pad- I am too used to the pencil and paper- have been playing bridge for 40 years but I love my new i-pad for other things- maybe i might buy a more expensive bridge game- but for right now I am happy with the social aspect of getting together with my friends to play.
This use to be a great app, but no longer works properly with upgrade to IOS 7.0.
Im new to Bridge, however, I was hosting others who were experienced Bridge players. They couldnt figure out how to operate the app, either.
