The app needs to be updated for new iPhones that have a small cut out at the top of the screen. Meaning when the bottom player plays a deep return You can’t select the “in”option. Other wise great.
Simply brilliant!
Forget the rest, I’ve tried them. If you want an app that’s versatile enough to cope with many different scoring formats incl. the LTA’s Fast 4 format with its no ad format, then this is the app for you. It doesn’t use a subscription model like many of the new apps coming out, so while the initial outlay seems pricey, it’s better value than the others. Yes it takes a little practice to use but you can do that watching matches on YouTube. If you make a mistake there is an option to undo, and also options for missed points and games. You can even switch server ends which is something juniors get frequently wrong after a tiebreak. The interface in this app looks a little dated and the menu system is bespoke, but there simply is no better app in my opinion. We’ve learnt loads about my player from their matches , not to mention their opponents! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Quality App - Serve the purpose of the post match review
- easy to record the match point by point, pretty accurate.
- easy to read the match analysis which can be viewed from different aspect such as Stat, Scatter Diagrams etc. The filter feature is very helpful in narrowing down to what interest you the most.
- timely response from the app support.
- wish to see some functions have more options in define the execution other than "Drive". And allow user to add short note there when needed.

Thank you for the positive words on the app. Specific shot or point observations can be recorded using the Comments feature.
Elegant and Thorough
I bought and tried most of the tennis stars apps before settling on ProTracker Tennis. Be sure to check out the documentation on the developer's website to really understand how thorough and powerful the App is, and how you can easily customize the level of detail you wish to capture.
Loving the app
Very impressed with this iPad/iPhone app and its "sister" PC app (which I think you'll need if you want a serious reporting/distribution capability).
Yes, the two apps are pricey, but they have been obviously carefully thought through and everyone is amazed at how much quality data (and analysis) I can accumulate in a given match. And since most of the matches I'm covering are doubles, this pretty much eliminates the competition.
Again, this program overcomes most of the complexity of catching all the important elements of a doubles match and attributing appropriate characteristics to teams and individuals as appropriate - again, very well thought out.
Although fairly intuitive, this app will require a little bit of a learning curve, and some practice to keep up with the play and gather accurate data, but it gives you as much help as it can. After a little time practicing on, say, some televised matches, and then a few practice "live" matches to get the flow, you'll be busy but you can collect the data fairly comfortably.
Finally, Eric (the developer) is very responsive and very helpful in answering questions. He will clearly not leave you high and dry if you're having a problem or needing a question answered.
Kudo's!

Best return on investment in tennis development !!!
This is the most expensive App I have ever bought, but it is also the most valuable...by far.
If you have a child that is serious about tennis, you are probably spending thousands of dollars on equipment, private lessons, academies, court time, travel, etc. I recommend you seriously consider purchasing this App as it is the best return on a $49 investment in tennis development I have ever made....hands down!!!
ProTracker is the best app I have found for tracking tennis matches for my son who is moving up the USTA Standings in the Eastern Section. It enables HIM to objectively and accurately view his strengths and areas for improvement immediately following matches without me needing to say a word...Priceless !!!
Additionally, it allows us to share detailed information with his coaches to facilitate more effective practices. The reporting capabilities are astounding and have been extremely valuable in his development, coaching, and match planning.
The interface is simple and elegant, allowing you to watch the match while tracking important statistics with ease in real time. I watch most of his matches and this gives me a way to stay constructively engaged in his development in a very healthy way.
I recommend you try using the app while watching a tennis match on TV/Internet at home, just to get a feel for how it works. You will become proficient very quickly (5-15 minutes).
After a very quick setup (names, descriptive info on tournament, first server and side) you have four inputs per point:
1) where the serve lands
2) where the return lands
For the shot that ends the point
3) origin point / stroke type
4) landing spot
The designer/developer had built a very effective interface that makes this process quick. There are many features built in to ease the tracking and even allow you to quickly add points and/or games if you happen to get distracted or take a break.
Just by tracking those four events, you end up with a very rich data set. The App has amazing reporting capabilities enabling you to visually review shot tendencies; serving and returning placement; and winner/error ratios and locations for specific strokes.
Recent version updates have included excellent advances in this already robust reporting capability that allow you to really hone in on key factors like performance on break points when up or down and many more.

Language bug
Stuck in French and can not be changed
Response from developer
Thank you for the positive rating for the app. The language fault you refer to was fixed immediately - ProTracker Tennis runs fine in English, as well as other languages.
Great but latest update is Spanish
Great program and been using it for years. However, latest update means it is in Spanish and can't change it to English...
This app is exactly what I've been looking for.
I wanted to find a good tennis stats app and this was by far the most impressive. It is very easy to use, and best of all the kids seem to really buy in to it. It makes it very easy to coach them when they have seen their own stats TV-style. I especially like the serving scatter diagrams as this is such an important area to the game. Overall, a great app, it is more expensive than others but is definitely worth the money.

Ad scoring
I love this app it has been very useful so far. My students find their tendencies to hit to certain parts of the court with the scatter diagrams and stuff. However I can't figure out how to get the no ad scoring to kick in. It doesn't seem to work
Response from developer
Thank you for the positive words and rating on the app. No-Ad (and One-Ad) scoring can be specified when the match is set-up.
Easy to use
This is a great app. I find it tough to track the rally length and the location of the serve return. Since the serve return tracker can be turned off, problem solved. In the update the option for the coman tie-breaker needs to be added. Other than this a great app, the stats break downs are very helpful to look at with my players.

Response from developer
Thank you for the positive words and rating on the app. To apply the rules of the coman tie-breaker you could use the in-play feature to Switch > Ends and Switch > Server.
I'd expect a little more
Although the concept is great.. i'd expect the ability to show where both players are on court at the final shot. (maybe it does and I haven't figured it out.. but I haven't yet.. and if it does it's not easy to see…additionally I'd like it to show a play back of the points. And what gives with the fact you can only share the scores if someone else has the same software?? That's very miserly.

Response from developer
Thank you for the positive words on the app. We've carefully designed ProTracker Tennis to be as efficient as possible for tracking so much information - it would not be possible to keep up with play if everything was captured. There is a feature to replay points. ProTracker Tennis provides a lot more information than stats, including scatter diagrams and momentum chart, so the app is needed to fully analyze a match - it is possible to produce reports in pdf format using the PC version or with a MAC, see: http://www.protrackertennis.com/protrackertennis/producing_match_reports.pdf
Smart app
Anyone who is serious about their game looks for this type of info... This is the best app I had found that works and gives me my data.
Great app!
I had an older version for a pda and bought this program as an app for the ipad and we love it! Really easy to learn how to use it and the info/insight that you can get instantly is extremely helpful. We use this for our division I college team all the time and all our players have really benefitted from it and have enjoyed the feedback on their matches.

Great App
Great product! Easy to use and my students are able to visually see their errors and key shots!
Tennis tracking flexibility
Prior to using tracking software, I used to track manually and then have to re-type into a spreadsheet. This kind of limited the point of tracking as my duaghter wanted to see her performance stright away so she could adapt for her next match. Whilst this is the first tennis tracking app I have bought, I have found this app to be really user friendly and flexible as her game develops

Awesome charting tool
I have been looking at this app for quite some time, and I'm glad I finally bought it. It is a little more expensive than others but I find it to be well worth it. Even though it is very detailed, it is quite simple to use. I especially like being able to see the diagram of shots on the court. This feature puts this app heads and shoulders above other statistical charting apps.

Most complete program available
I originally purchased this software over 8 years ago for a Windows mobile device (this company has been around for a while). It Is the best software by far for serious stats on tennis matches to help you spot areas to improve. I just repurchased it for the iPhone/iPad platform. They care about their product, respond to emails quickly and will be in business two years from now. I have no connection with the company, but appreciate the service and product improvements through the years.

Best One Out There
Only mobile app I found that allows you to record location of shots. Works well and gets the job done. Expensive compared to other apps, but it only amounts to the cost of a single tennis lesson, which seems fair given the value of the data this app can gather.
A few minor quips. Could improve on workflow when matches get screwed up (e.g. Serving from wrong side of court after sets, scoring mistakes). Feel like I am fighting with the app once things go awry with the match and usually give up once this happens.
Can't seem to edit match data once it is started (e.g. Player names, tournament info, court surface).
Comments display strangely in momentum chart. Hard to read them once a few are entered.
Graphics in app could be improved.

Thank you for the positive words and rating on the app. The Missed Shot, Point and Game feature helps you catch up when things go wrong, and the feature so Switch Server, Serve Side and Ends can be used when the default prompts are out-of-step with play. Player names can be changed after the match has been started, just tap on the names on the score screen.
Good and worth price but needs update
It's excellent and works perfectly, but its been over 6 months since last update. Please optimize it for iPad also! and, just general updates such as removing the purchase button on the paid version and etc.
Response from developer
Thank you for the positive words and rating on the app. New versions of the app are provided but we wait until new features are ready, so updates are not as common as other apps. The app now fully exploits the larger screen size available on the iPad.
