## What is OwnScore?

No scoreboard or can't see it, use OwnScore to distribute live score updates to other devices running OwnScore.  Now everyone has their OwnScore board.

OwnScore in caster mode broadcasts a game score to one or more OwnScores in viewer mode.  OwnScore operates on the local WiFi network - it doesn't rely on a server on the internet to route score data.  Depending on whether an automated test determines if the local WiFi network is full or partially compatible with OwnScore, OwnScore picks from several communication methods it supports to allow devices running OwnScore to communicate with each other.  If the local WiFi network is found to be totally incompatible with OwnScore, it can use Bluetooth to still operate normally.  All broadcasts of OwnScore are locked with a key distributed via a Key QR Code - only viewers with the key can view the broadcast.  Locks can be copied by other casters, allowing viewers to be able to connect to games broadcast by multiple casters.  OwnScore can also scan and save multiple Key QR Codes so it can access multiple groups of broadcasts.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-19

Now on Apple Watch. Install the OwnScore watch app and keep score from your wrist — swipe up to add a point, down to take one away, left to undo. A Viewer's watch shows the score as it changes. The app stays on your wrist, dimmed, instead of dropping back to the clock face.

Put the phone away. Tap and hold both scores to lock the screen, then pocket the phone and keep score from your wrist.

Bigger scores. The digits now fill their half of the screen instead of leaving an empty band underneath, in both portrait and landscape.

The app name and the "Live" reading now share a line of their own along the bottom, clear of the score rather than sitting over it.

Fixed: team names and location sometimes never reached an Android Viewer, leaving it showing placeholders for the whole game.

Fixed: an error could appear where the banner belongs after moving between the game list and the score screen.

### 2.0.5 — 2026-10-18

Bug fixes.

### 2.0.4 — 2026-10-12

Bigger scores. The digits now fill their half of the screen instead of leaving an empty band underneath, in both portrait and landscape.

Fixed: an error could appear where the banner belongs after moving between the game list and the score screen.

### 2.0.2 — 2026-09-28

Tapping a Caster that is still testing its network now runs that test and links you, instead of stopping on a blank screen. Those Casters show "Waiting for network test" in the list rather than a score that does not exist yet.

Landscape: the QR button lines up with the team and location bar, and the drop-down title bar now covers that bar completely.

Sending a Key or Lock QR Code as an image now includes the network it was published on and the Lock fingerprint, so it still makes sense away from the screen it came from.

The Lock QR controls are larger and better separated, and Help has a new Lock QR section explaining how to put several Casters behind one Lock so a Viewer needs only one Key.

In Europe and the UK you will be asked for ad consent, and you can change your answer at any time from Ad Privacy Options on the home screen.
