Pickleball Score for Watch

Score every rally from your wrist

Pickleball scoring trips up almost everyone new to it: the serving side scores, the server number matters, and side-out scoring means the number you call has three parts.

What it does

• Large tap targets you can hit mid-rally
• Singles and doubles, with correct serve rotation and server number
• Side-out or rally scoring, to 11, 15 or 21, win by two
• Best of 1, 3 or 5 games

Do I need my iPhone?

Not while you are using it. This is a standalone watchOS app: it runs on the Apple Watch on its own, with the phone switched off or left behind. You do need an iPhone once, to purchase and install it — that is an App Store rule rather than anything about this app.

Questions

Does it handle the server number in doubles?

Yes. It tracks which server is up and rotates correctly, which is the part most people lose track of.

Side-out or rally scoring?

Both. Pick whichever your club plays before the match starts.

Do I need my iPhone on court?

No, it runs on the watch alone. You need an iPhone once, to install it.

Can I undo a point?

Yes, including across game boundaries.

I build apps like this for clients too — see what that involves.
