User reviews

Great app

I have been using this app beginning last November.

Recommend it as a great training tool for beginner refs.

Really Impressed

I really liked it a lot. Makes it easy to keep track. There are a couple of more things that I would like since now you have the data stored and that is the ability to go back and replay the points and see how the match unfolded. Also, the ability to optionally select colors that would go around the player box so you don’t have to read the description of what they are wearing.
I know this might be a bit much but knowing what ball you were playing with and whether it was indoor or outdoor.
Having this kind of information would be nice for the players to go back and see how they played against a person or with a person in what conditions.

You can tell that someone spent some time on this program. Good job!

This is awesome

We just started playing pickleball a few months ago. This app seems really easy to use and I am excited to try it out next time we play.
