FencingRef App Reviews

This is my favorite paid app. Being a fencer and a director, I find it really helpful. I would, however, like to see an update on it that adds Direct Elimination options :)

Great for a newbie parent like me. No need to calculate anything. 4 out of 5 because no capability of tracking DE rounds but hey, I think this is worth the money I paid for.

This app is very difficult to use and crashes at almost every use. Loading and saving pools is a hassle. The timer is complex. It takes more than 5 min to make a simple pool and even longer to record scores when the record button doesnt work. You cant make a pool with less than 4 people. This app needs a lot of work because it just isnt user friendly.

Bought this app to track my clubs results at comps. DE scoring is sorely missed

Whether refereeing at the club or for an event, this app has been an invaluable resource. Put down the clipboard and pick up this app.

Thank you for the update, the app works great now. How happy I am. Ill be even happier when this app interfaces with Fencing Time.

Just a couple more tweaks to make it perfect. I havent reviewed this in a while, but my favorite fix is that even with the small timer start/stop button itll stop the timer where ever you touch the screen. No more accidental resets!

I am a parent of a youth fencer and I use this app exclusively to keep track of my sons pools. It is a great way to track bout scores, final indicator, when his next bout is coming up and who he is fencing against, and finally pool results. I love this app!!!!

First of all, I like the app. I use it to referee on a regular basis for both class and tournaments. Here is the problem: The little reset button is right below the start button. If I hit that, I get a prompt: "do you wish to reset?" and I can choose "yes" or "no." If I choose "yes", everything resets and the world is good. If I choose "no" the timer doesnt change BUT the SCORE RESETS!!! (Not good when you are conducting a team match!) Can someone PLEASE make an update so that doesnt happen anymore? Thank you!

This is a fantastic app for fencing referees. It is well thought out and does almost everything you want in the palm of your hand on a smart phone or iPod. However, IIRC, an earlier version would turn the screen yellow, red, or black for you to be able to show the cards to someone on the strip; I believe that feature is gone (the app still tracks cards, but doesn’t let you SHOW the card to the fencer). That’s the only reason I didn’t go with 5 stars. Any chance that could be added back into a future version?
