## What is Badminton?

Keep score of your badminton games with one tap per point, on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Rally point to 21, with every player in the right position.

One tap per point
Tap the side that won the rally and the app does the rest: the score, the server and who stands where. Tapped the wrong side? Take the point back, or bring it back again.

Official rules or your own
Best of 3 games to 21, capped at 30. Or play a single game, or set your own rules.

Rally or traditional scoring
Choose rally point scoring, or traditional scoring where only the server scores.

Singles, doubles or both
The court shows who stands where, for singles, doubles and even one against two.

Hear the score
The score and match points are announced out loud, so everyone on court stays up to date.

On your wrist
Keep score on Apple Watch without looking for your phone. Set up a match on your iPhone and send it to your watch, and see your game in a widget on your watch face.

Tournaments
Run a tournament with its own roster and rankings, and share it so friends can add their matches.

Rankings and history
See who's on top and look back at every match you played.

Follow live
Follow the score of a match someone else is keeping, and swipe between all games going on.

On all your devices
Your players and matches follow you to your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch through iCloud, and your watch stays in step with your iPhone directly.

Apple Health, if you like
Save matches as workouts and see your statistics afterwards. It's entirely optional.

Your data stays yours
No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics, and your data never goes to a server of mine.

Health data and your privacy
If you turn it on, games are saved as workouts in Health. For this, the app asks for access to write workouts. It also asks to read workouts, to find matches recorded on your other devices, and a few statistics, like distance and average heart rate, to show them in the summary at the end of a game. These statistics aren't stored or synced outside Health.

### 4/5 — Require apple watch.

*2025-04-08*

Without apple watch not able to keep score directly on iphone.

### 3/5 — Almost perfect, but no way to silence it.

*2024-03-23, version 1.4*

I’ve tried so many badminton scoring apps for the Apple Watch and this is almost perfect in terms of the UI. However, it announces the scores through the watch speaker which is incredibly annoying and the’s no way to turn if off. 

I’ve turned off all notification sounds and set my watch volume to zero, but it still blares out the scores. Sadly this makes it unusable for me.

### 4/5 — Great app!!

*2024-01-17, version 1.4*

This is app is very handy and well made.
It’d be great if there was the option to track the whole workout (before and after the games) so you don’t have to switch between this and the workout app on the watch.

### 5/5 — Best badminton scoring app!

*2023-03-14, version 1.2*

This app is pretty great! It does your scoring, tells you what side to serve and even records you fitness data.
