Half the time, I can’t hear the score being called so I have to keep track of everyone’s scores and serves in my head. Well, that doesnt work well for me so I needed something super-easy and quick to use. I looked at manual wrist counters and dedicated electronic scorekeeping watches but figured that there just HAD to be an existing Apple Watch scorekeeping app. Turns out that there are several and I looked at quite a few. Most were so confusing that I gave up on them immediately. This app just took a couple of minutes of playing around with it to figure out how the watch face swipes affect the scoring but once I got the hang of it, it’s a breeze. Super quick and it doesn't slow down play. Good job and thanks for this handy device. It’s well worth the $4 investment! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-08-16, version 3.4* The app is just what I was looking for. Great to keep score, know who should serve next and from where! Amazing app! ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2024-06-22, version 3.4* I love this app. As a beginner at pickleball it’s hard enough to keep all the rules and strategy in my head so I could never keep track of the score as well. Using this on the Apple Watch is intuitive and easy and makes life so much simpler. Love it!!! ### 5/5 — This is amazing! *2024-06-07, version 3.4* So easy to keep score! ### 5/5 — Excelente Aplicación *2024-05-25, version 3.4* La aplicación es muy fácil de usar y me ha ayudado bastante a tener un mejor control del juego. La recomiendo a todos los que disfrutan de este juego. ### 5/5 — Great app, simple to use *2024-05-17, version 3.4* Great app, simple to use ### 5/5 — Can’t remember score Now I can! *2024-04-11, version 3.4* Great app. It wasn’t easy for me to learn, I’m old. I started using it to score games on YouTube and that made all the difference. The app will even let me fix mistakes I make in scoring. Make sure you can easily use it before you go on the court as opponents get upset if you are constantly fiddling with your watch. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-03-31, version 3.4* Great app to keep track of scores and unforced errors. Love it. Can we add rally point scoring? ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-02-03, version 3.4* There are so many of us seniors playing this game that have trouble remember who served what the score is and so on Not anymore. This is the answer to your scoring mismanagement ### 5/5 — Larry Wilson *2023-12-20, version 3.4* I lost the program on my watch. How do I reconnect my watch to my phone? ### 5/5 — Perfect Apple Watch pickleball score keeper!! *2023-10-30, version 3.4* Easy to use and perfect for beginners to learn scoring and experienced players to keep track during play ### 5/5 — Game changer *2023-09-28* This app is so convenient, so easy to use, and so helpful. I can’t even believe it! I was never the best at keeping track of the score, but with this app, I am amazed at the number of incorrect scores that are called! And now I can quietly and confidently correct the score when needed! Best money I’ve ever spent on an app, period! ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-09-23, version 3.4* This app is very well done. ### 5/5 — Picketball *2023-08-17, version 3.4* I really love it a great workout I been playing it all day me and mom love it thank you I learn from people it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-03-30, version 3.4* Once you start a game you can not cancel it. If it is recording on activity you can not get it to stop. My “game” went for hours which messed up my activity report. Only way to stop was deleting from my watch. Absolutely no directions in the app. In set up if you give permission for access to activity you can not change. No way to change settings. Swipe rarely works so totally useless. All the positive ratings are likely paid. I had it on my watch for 24 hours and have taken it off. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-22, version 1.6* Doesn’t interface with iwatch well. Never could get it to work. Wasted money. ### 1/5 — Great Great idea-buggy *2019-03-15, version 1.0* The idea of an pickleball Apple Watch score keeping app is brilliant. I have tried to use it repeatedly on an Apple Watch 3. Sadly, this app is not usable! It is hit or miss with the haptics. It just slows down a game and other players get upset. You can’t really score a game. This could be the pickleball de-facto score keeping device if only the interface would work consistently. Great idea! Really bad execution! People would pay for this app if it really worked. Now using Apple Watch 4. Still a great idea with unusable software. Real piece of junk. I could get hundreds of people to use it if it worked...It does not. Stay away!!! ### 3/5 — Seemed like a good idea *2025-04-15, version 4.0* 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. 🤨 ### 4/5 — Suggestions *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. ### 4/5 — Pickleball Score Keeper rocks! *2024-09-07, version 3.4* I’ve used this for a couple of months and it’s great! Not only does it keep track of the score but it also tracks if your on the odd or even side (left or right) as well as your opponents However, one star off due to two shortcomings. 1st is the ability to undo an accidental touch to end the game. A couple of times I have inadvertently scored the final point and the app ends the game. I need to be able to undo that. 2nd is the lack of being able to adjust the spoken score volume with the dial on the side of the watch. Other than that, this has settled many mistaken scores, or confirmed correct scores. Especially when a ball is hit over a fence, or someone stops to chat with other players arrive or are leaving. You often come to “who’s serve is it?” or “what’s the score?” or “am I a 1 or 2?” This app is helpful with all of those. Sept 2024 A long time ago these guys fix the capability of undoing the accidental end of game. Super helpful, still use it every time I play and there’s always some point in the games that this app comes in handy. ### 4/5 — Great app for the absence mind *2024-09-04, version 3.4* I downloaded this app after using Virtual Score Keeper. This is much more useful and could keep track of scores, server, server side, and announces the running score. Once sync with my iPhone, I can see win and loss score. One function I couldn’t get working was swapping left to right to track unforced errors. I will delete from my Apple Watch and reload hopefully getting a newer version of the app. It is a bit difficult to load because you have to download and install from the watch itself. App download on the iPhone will not transfer app to the watch. ### 4/5 — Works as expected *2023-10-30, version 3.4* Easy to use and knowing my statistics is helping’s me to improve my skills ### 4/5 — Great app! *2023-07-30, version 3.4* Love this score keeper. The only reason it did not get a 5 star rating is because I wear hearing aids. The sounds from my iPhone to my hearing aids, that serve as headphones for my music and in ear phone calls, do not work with my hearing aids, because the app keeps score on my Apple Watch. ### 4/5 — Enjoying the app but… *2023-07-19, version 3.4* Can’t figure out how to run it and my workout app at the same time? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-07-30, version 4.0* I don't like keeping track of the score so this app is perfect for me. It's so easy to swipe and I never lose track of where the game is at ### 5/5 — Use it all the time *2026-06-15, version 4.0* Great easy to use app to keep track of my matches on the fly. I use it on my iwatch. Everyone tends to rely on me to keep them up to date while we play. ### 5/5 — Pickleball Scoring *2026-05-21, version 4.0* Great app easy to use on your watch while playing and it helped me keep my score accuracy and player # helps the whole team in doubles verify the game score and player # when we are in doubt ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-26, version 4.0* Very easy app to use and is convenient to use with Apple Watch. Can see your past scores on your mobile app ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-05-19, version 4.0* The app is just what I was looking for. Great to keep score, know who should serve next and from where! Amazing app! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2024-11-21, version 3.4* No more guessing! Whose serve? What’s the score?, etc. easy peasy! ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2024-09-28, version 3.4* I love it. Easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
