I doubt anyone will be comfortable with you entering moves into a regular smartphone, even in a club game.
There were a number of special notation devices about 10 years ago, which were approved for use. However, they were expensive.
MonRoi?

Actually the envisioned usage is a tablet that is put open on the table for my opponent to see.
It would be fine to disconnect from the outside world.
Actually I noticed some chess clock apps, if people feel comfortable with that then why not notation.
I would like to create a database with my games without having to manually enter each game
And with my handwriting OCR is not too reliable 😄
The post and the provided link by @justbefair gave me some new suggestions for search terms.
This lead to the following two solutions:
An android app called clono:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fide.clono.chess.system&hl=en-UShttps://clono.no/This one is free and FIDE approved.
And a NEXUS based solution ChessNoter.
https://chessnoter.com/store/ChessNoteR-N6-Software-p723984886This requires a NEXUS and a $270 license.
Plus you need to send your device to them (in the US) for installation.
Not really something for an average club player in Europe.
(oh and of course there are the boards that do recording but that is less portable)
Hi,
I'm looking for an android app to notate my games instead of using a notation sheet.
The app is to be used in club games and should allow storing multiple games and exporting them (and maybe post-mortem analysis).
I searched the app store but didn't really find a suitable app. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Frans
