This fixes an issue some people had migrating their data from the previous version of the app into this new version. In case your data is migrated twice, just go into the game and person lists from the Home Screen and merge the duplicates. Cheers!

1.2.1
2015-12-22
A quick update to address a crash some people had when scoring in history mode, as well as addressing people getting stuck creating a new player from the players list.
1.2.0 Release Notes:
Just in time for the holidays, this version makes two key features much easier: entering scores and adding players to games.
## Entering scores
One of the most requested features was to add a simple calculator to make it simpler to add up your scores. This is particularly helpful for those games late at night when your brain doesn't want to do any more. Simply calculate the score as needed, or just enter it directly.
## Adding players
The previous version made it much easier to add players that you had already set up, but it was a little harder to get them in the first time. Now, you can just type the player's name. If they've already played a game, you'll see them show up and you can tap to add them to the new game. Otherwise, just hit "Done" to create a new player. Quick and simple!
This version also added an Undo and Redo button right in the game screen to make it clearer and easier, addresses a number of bugs and makes minor performance improvements throughout the app.
Thanks for all your comments and feedback, as well as your generous tips. Reviews make it much easier for other people to find Pointedly, so if you have a minute to leave a review, that would be a huge help.

1.1.2
2015-10-27
This is a quick fix to address crashing when reordering players. Sorry!
1.1.1 Release Notes:
- With some great help, this version addresses the problem of data not coming over from the previous version. Sorry for the trouble!
- Adds 3D Touch support for iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus with launch shortcuts and game previews.
- Simplifies navigation of your player list, which is especially nice when you have lots of players.
- Addresses some sizing issues to better support the iPhone 4S and other small screens.
- Other bug fixes and stability.
Note: If you had data in version 1.0, it will show up in this version. Since I added a player bank in version 1.1 that wasn't there before, you might end up with multiple versions of players from earlier games. If you delete a player that is part of any games, you will have the option to replace that player with someone else. This should help you consolidate your player list down to just the actual people that you want in your history.
Thanks for all your help and support! I really appreciate the feedback and kind tips that have been given to support ongoing development of Pointedly.

Along with iOS 9 support, this version adds some major updates. The app has undergone a beautiful design overhaul to make it easier to use. You now have the ability to restart a game with the same people and settings without overwriting the previous game and a bank of players so that you don't have to add the same person over and over again. We also added a gorgeous results screen so you can share all your victories.
Thanks for all your support and ideas. We are thrilled to be able to keep the app ad-free. We hope this makes your family games even easier!
