That is why the word “coach” is part of the name. It even has tips based on your individual performance and can positively impact your game. Support; if you need it is quick, helpful and they strive to make this your best improvement tool! ### 5/5 — Fantastic tool *2025-12-07* I use the app as a way to help develop swing speed as a coach and player. Knowing this is tracking my wrist movements, I’ll practice serves and really dial in the motions to help make them more powerful. That has led to me having a more powerful stroke in all areas of the game. ### 5/5 — Flashing the colors on the court *2025-09-21, version 1.39* I saw my partner using it and I was sold! It’s even better when you and your partner are using to compare and enhance your strategy! ### 5/5 — Raised my DUPR score! *2025-08-23, version 1.36* People are always asking me on the court what I am doing with my watch in the middle of the game and when I show them they are floored! it makes me look so cool and smart. LOVE THIS THING ### 5/5 — SO much fun!! *2025-08-05, version 1.34* I love using this app and reviewing my number of swings, time, speed and level of swing. I really like seeing the red line, poor swings, get smaller. 🤗 A feature that surprised me as I was playing I saw MORE FOLLOW THROUGH on my watch face. Hope no ref knows I can get coaching on the court. 😂 ### 5/5 — Best there is - for Pickleball *2025-07-17* If you have an Apple Watch and play pickleball, this app is a no-brainer. It’s literally tracking + coaching which can help you improve your game using real data. Must try. Yes, it’s still developing and improving, but there’s nothing else like it. 5 star experience. ### 5/5 — Don’t normally leave reviews but this one was worth it *2025-07-16* I’m pretty new to pickleball and came across this app while looking for something to help me learn and improve. I honestly didn’t expect much, but I’ve been blown away. The way it tracks and breaks down your game is incredibly helpful. It’s rare to find an app that truly delivers on what it promises — this one really does. ### 5/5 — Impressive pickleball app *2025-05-13, version 1.13* Thoroughly impressed with the level of detail. Provides the type of stroke and quality of the hit. It even gives you stats on your fastest ball. ### 5/5 — Fantastic customer support and updates *2025-05-02* Originally, this app did not seem to track my swings accurately but with the updates it is working well. The developer still refunded me money and has provided the greatest communication and support I have ever encountered with an app. **Developer response:** hi Louk14, Thank you for letting us know. The app needs to be on your dominant hand (the one you hold your paddle with) to record swings reliably. Wearing it on the other wrist will not work We’ll update the instructions to make that clearer. If you still see issues after switching wrists, please reach out—we’re here to help! If you are not satisfied, please email me at gmyameen@gmail.com and I will refund you! ### 5/5 — So helpful for starting off *2025-05-02, version 1.13* I was able to track how I’m doing over the weeks and it encourages me to keep consistent! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-04-29, version 1.13* It’s straightforward and easy to use. Definitely a huge help! ### 5/5 — Perfect for New Pickleball Players! *2025-04-29* I’m new to pickleball and PickleWatch made learning so much easier! It tracks every swing, shows if my shots are good or need work, and breaks down my sessions in a way that’s easy to understand. The color feedback and speed tracking keep me motivated to improve. I love how I can just wear my Apple Watch and start playing with no extra gear needed. Highly recommend for anyone starting their pickleball journey! ### 5/5 — Pickleball lovers *2025-04-29, version 1.13* Awesome app Highly recommended! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-11-20, version 1.48* I played three games and it says I had one swing how was that even possible anyway anyways I might sign up but not very reliable. ### 1/5 — Shady practices *2025-08-12, version 1.34* Paid $10 for this app when it launched, only to see the price get cut in half and previously available features get locked behind a monthly subscription fee. What a great way to take care of your early adopters. ### 1/5 — Erst kostenlose Lifetime, dann Zahlung nötig. *2025-07-25* Es ist wie heutzutage leider sehr oft im App Store Universum. Erst wird einem eine Lifetime Lizenz kostenlos angeboten und dann, nach ein paar Updates der App, soll man doch plötzlich monatlich zahlen. Keine Rede mehr von Lifetime Lizenz. Bietet doch stattdessen einfach eine kostenlose 7-Tage Version an so wie andere. App also gelöscht. **Developer response:** Hi Adrian, I think there may be a misunderstanding. PickleWatch is completely free to use - there's no monthly subscription required. The only optional premium feature is viewing your historical session data. All current tracking and core features remain free. If you see a paywall, you can simply hit the X on the top right to continue using the free features. I'd be happy to help clarify if you'd like to give it another try. Hallo Adrian, ich denke, es gibt hier ein Missverständnis. PickleWatch ist komplett kostenlos nutzbar - es ist kein monatliches Abonnement erforderlich. Das einzige optionale Premium-Feature ist das Anzeigen Ihrer historischen Session-Daten. Alle aktuellen Tracking- und Kernfunktionen bleiben kostenlos. Falls Sie eine Paywall sehen, können Sie einfach das X oben rechts drücken, um die kostenlosen Features weiter zu nutzen. Ich helfe gerne dabei, das zu klären, falls Sie es nochmal versuchen möchten. ### 1/5 — Not recording properly *2025-04-23* Not sure if it is because I am left handed but I put my watch on my left hand because the app says to put it on dominant hand and every time I use it, it only records a few of my swings in like a 2 hour period so not sure what is going on **Developer response:** hi Louk14, Thank you for letting us know. The app needs to be on your dominant hand (the one you hold your paddle with) to record swings reliably. Wearing it on the other wrist will not work We’ll update the instructions to make that clearer. If you still see issues after switching wrists, please reach out—we’re here to help! If you are not satisfied, please email me at gmyameen@gmail.com and I will refund you! ### 2/5 — Still has some bigs to work out *2026-01-21, version 1.56* Its an interesting app, fun to use but not confident about its accuracy. But the reason to a s 2 star rating is because I can’t get the app to close on my watch. I’ve tried everything. ### 2/5 — Was great. Broken now *2025-08-04, version 1.34* I have been using this since release with Eleven Pickleball VR with great success. The latest update makes the app unusable. Yesterday I hit 100 shots and 5 out of 50 backhands registered. I also felt as though I had to swing out of my shoes to get forehands to register so I have given up on it. A shame because it was really great before the last update. ### 3/5 — Great concept. Under delivers. *2026-03-18, version 1.62* I love the concept. However I’m not finding the data helpful. There’s no AI that provides improvement feedback. The data is also unreliable. What’s on the bench to improve? Added post play today. You need to bring more value. Like. Based on what was measured here’s the areas for improvements. Here’s suggested drills to improve. Then based on the suggestions the app monitors those areas ### 3/5 — Play tips on watch *2025-09-25* I love that the app gives you tips on the fly. Problem is, the pop up on your watch and disappear so fast I can’t read what they said. Yellow background on the tips with white text doesn’t help with thee struggle to read it. Maybe save the tips so you can read them on your phone later. Either way impossible for some of us to read when the disappear so fast during play. **Developer response:** Hi RLB201! thanks for the feedback, we will add this to our future roadmap! Also, overall session tips are saved to the phone app under the session at the bottom. Thanks for using PickleWatch, and please if you want to give more feedback email us georgeyameen1@outlook.com ! :) ### 5/5 — Pickleball Helper *2026-06-10* Combination of Tracking Fitness Activity while playing ,and Counting Points. ### 5/5 — Stellar. Seriously. *2026-05-15, version 1.65* Please get yourself an Apple Watch and get this app immediately. Learning this game and this app has already been an encouraging addition to my potential growth! Worth every cent. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great information to help boost my game to the next level! *2026-03-14* I can’t wait to use this app more consistently. So far have been surprised as to how many forehands I hit vs backhands since I favor my backhand. I’m working on the quality of my forehands and this app will allow me to track my progress! ### 5/5 — A must try. *2026-03-13* I have collected data for the six months i’ve been playing. At first it was novel only, but after a month or two i was able to see a very clear trend and fixed several issues i had. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Very Cool *2026-02-25* After trying it out on the subscription weekly, I bought the Lifetime option. Pickelwatch does what it says it does. It is extremely easy to use as well. I had reviewed all the shots and they do appear to be accurate. Only thing it missed was an ATP. It would have been nice to get a shout out for the one I hit. But, I have no idea how it could be done. Love the app! ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-02-24* Picklewatch app has completely elevated my game! It accurately tracks my swing count and the different swing types using my Apple Watch, which help mes focus in specific shots and improve my game. You can see the different type of shots from your iPhone app as well. Being able to analyze each shot was very helpful. Definitely worth the subscription. ### 5/5 — Helping me so much! *2026-02-22* Been using this app for a few weeks now and it super helpful! I even ran the app with my coach and he can see the improvement. The app makes me accountable on being consistent and follow through with my swings. Also it’s fun competing with my friends to see who had the better score at the end of my games. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-01-31* This app is a game changer. I started using Picklewatch two weeks ago and I’m completely hooked. I’ve already recorded a dozen games and the insights are incredible. The app tracks my swings, analyzes swing quality and speed. It also breaks down my swing count by type. It even confirmed something I hadn’t fully realized before – as a lefty, I rely heavily on backhand volleys and dinks. With that insight, I’ve started focusing much more on backhand drills. Picklewatch also provides smart session insights, like “Best swings in the first 15, then quality drops,” which clearly shows when fatigue kicks in. Based on the app’s suggestions, I’ve also become more intentional about slowing down my swings. I used to rely on the Workout app on my watch, but that only tracks calories, duration and heart rate. Picklewatch delivers far more meaningful, actionable data. Did I mention I’m hooked? ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-01-21, version 1.56* This is such a great addition to my Apple Watch and apps. It tracks my every swing and counts my calories. I don’t need $100/hr lessons anymore! ### 5/5 — Truly Insightful Data and Trends *2026-01-07* This app has helped me ID how to improve my game and the developer is deeply committed and accessible - he’s listening to the community and ambitious for constant improvement. I used the free version for a month and found the data baseline helpful. Because of PickleWatch, was able to see I was hitting way too high of a % BH. With this info, was able to focus on moving to hit more FH and saw an immediate improvement on points/performance. That simple insight meant I had better options and shot selection. I then upgraded to the Pro version and wish I’d done so earlier. Instantly, I saw my shot quality was dropping after 15-18 shots. I hadn’t realized I was getting fatigued. This helped me tune my mindset to focus on each shot instead of the game tone and score. This also prompted me to add strength and cardio to my routine. It’s easy to think about pickleball as a casual or rec sport and I’ve got to give PW some credit for showing me the connection between stamina and my game skill which is motivating me to get into better shape! Love the 7 day, 30 day, and all time trends as well. Builds confidence and motivates! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
