Well, we suppose even the types of people who are really into the ancient art of risk-managed swordfighting need something to check their Twitter accounts and emails on between… between… between whatever you call fencing matches.
So why shouldn’t there be a fencing scoring app on Android? Here’s the description:
Designed by Olympian Dan Kellner, ScoreKeeper is the premiere mobile Fencing application. The free version includes 5-touch bouts, penalty card assignment, and priority assignment in overtime.
Coming soon, the full version with support for 15-touch bouts, fencer’s names, injury time, and much more to come in the future.
It’s well designed, we’ll give it that.
Very nice digital font there. Nice logo. We’re in no position to review Fencing ScoreKeeper from a technical perspective, this is simply a “news” post for the benefit of people who are into (a) Android and (b) fencing.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ April 10, 2010And there are a few of us – even here in the US – that are interested in apps like this. I’ve even toyed with writing one, but hadn’t started yet. I’ll check this out.
And for the record I have to ask, why is a fencing score keeper a “weird app”?

/ April 11, 2010It’s great that Dan got this designed and released for the Android. We already have iPhone apps for this task, so having it available for the Android platform is great.
