## What is Pickleball Score Keeper?

Pickleball Score Keeper is the first Pickleball app designed for Apple Watch. It turns your Apple Watch into a simple and easy-to-use score tracking device. All matches are stored on your iPhone and key statistics give you insights on how to improve your game.
- Keep track of all your matches (with or without an Apple Watch)
- Singles and doubles match modes
- Identify teammates and opponents
- Track your unforced errors
- Service statistics
- Player database to keep notes on opponent strengths and weaknesses
- Follow live matches point by point
- Integrates with Health app (steps taken, running distance, maximum heart rate, calories burned) to help you gain insight into your Pickleball workouts as well as to monitor how hard your opponents make you work

---
How to use the Watch app:
It is so simple. Just start the app from your Apple Watch.
- Select game setup (i.e.: Doubles, Game to 11, Win by 2)
- Swipe towards you when you win a rally.
- Swipe away from you when you lose a rally.
- Swipe right to record an unforced error.
- Swipe left to undo.
- Press down on the watch face to end session or restart a game.

TIP! Swipe from the middle of the watch, not the edge.

Scores are spoken aloud and gentle vibrations allow you to continue play without looking at your watch.
Player positions and current server are shown on the watch face in case you lose track.

IMPORTANT:
The watch is by default set to wake on wrist raise. If Pickleball Score Keeper does not open on Wrist Raise gesture during a match, please do the following from the watch home screen:
1. Tap Settings > tap General > tap Wake Screen 
2. Make sure that "Wake Screen on Wrist Raise" is turned on. 
3. Scroll down to "Resume to: Previous Activity" and checkmark.

Please don’t be shy to use the Feedback button on the Pickleball Score Keeper iPhone app to contact us with ideas and suggestion.  We welcome your feedback.

*2025-11-10, version 4.0*

Would love to see a field for location added to the app. I play different places throughout my week and that would be very helpful. 

Also is there a way to save the data? I had to change cell phones last year and lost all my data. I was very sad. Loved seeing my game history.

The app is just what I was looking for. Great to keep score, know who should serve next and from where! Amazing app!

### 3/5 — Seemed like a good idea

*2025-04-15*

I got the app a few weeks ago and noticed a problem upon using it. I’ve sent two emails enquiring about the problem and no one has gotten back to me yet. I had such high hopes - now I’m just disappointed.  🤨

### 5/5 — Love it, but

*2025-03-06, version 4.0*

I love this app and have used it for a few years. However, some players have started to use rally scoring. Any chance the app could include rally scoring? If not possibly creating a new app that does.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-02-19, version 4.0*

App us easy to learn and easy to use

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-01-12, version 4.0*

This app is so easy to use and very user friendly. I love how it keeps track of where all players show be for those of us who need the help.

*2024-11-21, version 3.4*

No more guessing! Whose serve? What’s the score?, etc. easy peasy!
