How does photo scoring work?
After a hand, place the leftover tiles on the table, tap the winning team on the scoreboard, then tap Scan. Anótalo finds each tile in the photo, counts the pips on both halves and adds them up, all on your phone. You see every tile it read and the total before anything is scored.
How do I get a good scan?
- Tiles face up and spread apart, not touching each other.
- All tiles inside the frame, taken from above.
- A table that contrasts with the tiles: dark felt, wood or a black surface work best.
- Even light. Avoid strong glare on the tiles.
A tile says “⚠ Check”. What do I do?
Anótalo marks any tile it isn’t sure about instead of guessing. Tap the tile to fix its numbers, or remove it. You can also add a tile it missed. The total updates before you confirm.
What doesn’t work well yet?
Tiles that touch can be read as one shape and skipped, so keep them apart. Tiles on a white table, and dark tiles with light pips, aren’t supported yet. You can always type the points on the keypad instead: tap the winning team and enter them.
Can I use a photo I already took?
Yes. On the scan screen, tap the photo button and pick one from your library. Only that photo is shared with the app.
Games and scoring
How do I score a hand?
Tap the card of the team that won the hand. The keypad opens for that team: type the points, or tap Scan to count the leftover tiles from a photo. You see the total, with any prize and bonus, before it counts.
Which domino sets are supported?
Double-six sets, played by two teams of partners.
What are the game modes?
To 200: first team to 200 wins, no prizes.
To 500: first team to 500 wins, no prizes.
To 500 with prizes: first team to 500 wins, and the winners of hands 1 to 4 get a prize of +100, +75, +50 and +25.
How do capicú, chuchazo and blocked games work?
Capicú (winning with a tile that fits either end) and chuchazo (winning with the double blank) each add +100. A hand that is both still gets +100. A blocked game (tranque) is scored without either bonus. Bonuses can be turned off when you start a new game.
What is a chiva?
A game that ends 200–0 or 500–0. Anótalo shows a banner and plays a goat bleat. Turn the sound off in Settings › Chiva sound; the iPhone’s silent switch also mutes it, and on Android it follows the media volume.
I scored a hand by mistake.
Tap Undo at the top of the scoreboard, or long-press either team and choose Undo last hand, to remove the last hand.
Can I change a team’s name?
Yes. Long-press the team on the scoreboard and choose Rename team.
Can I play more than one game at a time?
No, one game is in progress at a time. Starting a new game or a rematch asks whether to keep playing the current one or delete it.
How do I delete games?
Long-press a game in the list and choose Delete game. On iPhone you can also swipe it. Clear finished deletes every finished game at once.
App and settings
How do I change the language or appearance?
Open Settings in the app. Language switches between Español and English, whatever language your phone uses. Appearance offers System, Light or Dark.
Do my games sync to my other devices?
Not yet. Games are stored only on the phone where you play them.
What do I need to run Anótalo?
An iPhone with iOS 17 or later, or an Android phone with Android 8.0 or later. Get it on the App Store or on Google Play.
How much does Anótalo cost?
US$1.99, paid once (the App Store and Google Play show the price in your currency). There are no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases.
Does Anótalo collect my data?
