Scoreboard app losing your score or showing ads mid-game?
Three complaints come up again and again in scoreboard app reviews: a full-screen ad pops up while you're scoring, there's no way to take back a mistaken point, and the score is gone after you leave the app. Knowing why makes it easy to pick a better one.
Common problems and their causes
| Problem | Usual cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Ads mid-game | An ad is shown every few taps | No full-screen ads on the scoreboard screen |
| Score disappears | The score lives only in memory | The score is still there after reopening the app |
| Can't fix a mistaken tap | Only a +1 button, no −1 or undo | Swipe for −1 and an undo button |
| Timer stops when the screen sleeps | Time only counts while the screen is on | A real-time timer and keep-screen-on |
Fewer mistakes during a match
- Turn on the score lock before the phone goes in your pocket
- Added a point by mistake? Swipe down on that side
- If several taps went wrong, undo one action at a time
- If you know the right score, long-press the number and type it
How Tallibo handles it
Tallibo never shows a full-screen ad on the scoreboard. Ads appear as a small banner and between games, such as when you open a finished result.
Every point is saved to the device, and the timer runs on real time, so it stays right with the screen off. The screen stays on during a match.
FAQ
- Why do scoreboard apps show so many ads?
- Free apps are paid for by ads, and some show a full-screen ad every few taps, which interrupts the game.
- My score resets when I leave the app.
- That app doesn't save the score. Use one that saves after every point.
- How do I remove a point I added by mistake?
- In Tallibo, swipe down on that team's side or tap undo.
