Deuce Tap is a tennis scoreboard for singles and doubles, kept from your wrist. Two taps score a whole match: your side of the screen for your point, the other side for theirs. Your iPhone says the score out loud, in twenty-five languages with real umpire calls. Scoring is free and unlimited, always — no match limit, nothing to unlock.
SCORING
- Deuce, advantage, tiebreaks, the change of ends and who serves next all follow on their own.
- Doubles: four names, the serving order inside each pair chosen at setup, and the name of the partner serving next shown under the ball.
- Got one wrong? Undo; Redo puts it back.
- Formats: best of three, best of five, one set, Fast4, or a pro set to eight games. No-ad scoring is optional, and always on in Fast4. A deciding set can be a championship tiebreak to ten — or the whole match can.
PADEL
- Padel uses tennis scoring, so the same scoreboard works on a padel court: doubles with four names, sets to six games, tiebreak at six-all. Turn on no-ad scoring for the golden point — the deciding point at deuce, which the voice calls too.
THE MATCH REPORT
- Open any match in your History on iPhone and Deuce Tap works out its report. Free for everyone: the result and sets, points won on each side, the longest run, break points won and saved, a points-ahead chart and a result card to share.
- Deuce Tap Pro opens the rest: points on serve and on return, service games held and broken, deuce games, the longest game and tiebreak, a set-by-set breakdown, the momentum chart and the match written out game by game. In People: your serve, return and break points across every match with a person.
- All of it is worked out on your iPhone from the points you tapped, so Pro opens the full report on every match already in your History. One purchase, not a subscription, and it works with Family Sharing.
PLAYERS
- Type a name once and Deuce Tap remembers the person, so their matches stay together; People shows how you stand against them — and, in doubles, with them.
ON THE APPLE WATCH
- Auto-lock stops a sleeve from scoring; a long press still counts a point through the lock, and so does Double Tap on watches that support it (watchOS 11 or later) — the point goes to whoever is serving.
- The match runs as a tennis workout, so a wrist raise lands on the score instead of the watch face, and with your permission it is saved to Health with heart rate and active energy.
- The watch keeps the score on its own, even with your iPhone switched off, out of range or left at home; the voice, match setup, History and the report belong to the phone.
ON THE IPHONE
- The iPhone is what says the score out loud, after every point or only at game, set and match. If you are scoring on the watch, the iPhone has to be with you and in reach of it.
- The live score sits on the Lock Screen and, on iPhones that have one, in the Dynamic Island.
- Finished matches land in History with score, winner, date and duration. Score on either device; the two reconcile into one match once they can reach each other.
PRACTICE
- Solo Serve: record serve sessions on your iPhone or on the watch, which records on its own, even offline. Six modes, padel too.
- Daily Challenge: five questions a day on the rules of tennis, each explained with its ITF rule and a link into the Rulebook, which is offline and has a glossary.
- A journal with weekly goals, the Umpire game and CSV export. Pro opens the extra serve modes, topic practice and more goals.
PRIVACY
There is no account, no sign-in, and no server of our own. Settings stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch; matches and player names are also kept in your own iCloud, which we cannot read. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, nothing sold. The only network the app uses is Apple's own: the App Store and iCloud.
Scoring, History, the report and the rulebook need no network at all. The interface is in English, Ukrainian, French, German and Italian; the voice speaks twenty-five languages.
