I also think the app would be better if you add When you first get the app I wish you got more Scoreboards. I would rate this app 2/5 ### 3/5 — .5 zoom *2026-03-01, version 5.3.1* I like the app and its features, it would be a 5 star rating if all .5 zoom feature was capable. ### 4/5 — Great app but could be better *2026-02-01, version 5.3.1* This is a great app for filming sports but I wish you didn’t have to pay to get different scoreboards.I like how their are different options but wish they were free. ### 4/5 — Maybe the best livestream app, some tweaks to make it better imo *2025-12-13, version 5.3.1* I livestream ice hockey games, a lot of the negative reviews I am reading here have not been an issue for me. So light work getting acquainted with the app and it is very easy to use. The Bluetooth remote app that was made for this app also helps a ton! Here are some ideas to improve the app in my opinion. Please add ability to manually adjust white balance and camera focus. More options to customize scoreboard, interchange some of the options (clock/penalty clock/penalty clock description) between sports into a simple linear option or stacked corner option. Just think how the pros game look...that's what I want to replicate. Maybe a ribbon that goes across the bottom of the screen (full screen left to right). Scoreboard team logo options. Maybe I want the logo to appear as a backdrop with a lower opacity, but current display works well too. Sizing of logo can be difficult to manipulate at times. Usually I can save a team logo from a simple google search. Sometimes I need to adjust in photoshop or express. What would also be great is to be able to save some presets to my account. I don't want to recreate what I had if I want to experiment with scoreboard options. Highlights playback during livestream. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Crashing since iOS 26 and 26.1 beta. Unusable. *2025-09-27, version 5.3.1* Please fix the issue. We live by ScoreCam! It is an indispensable tool! ### 2/5 — Not Working with current iOS update *2025-09-27, version 5.3.1* App either won’t open or will crash with the newest iOS 26 update ### 1/5 — I can’t reset the score *2025-08-24, version 5.3.0* I was testing how to give score and change names and there is reset button in score settings but it doesn’t save the reset. No matter how many times reset the score and save when I go back to screen score is same never got reset. I wanted to use today but I guess I can’t use this. ### 4/5 — I have to buy everything *2025-08-21, version 5.3.0* Listen cool app but why do I have to purchase everything I got purchase disabled I like it but I wish everything is free ### 1/5 — Audio and video problems *2025-08-18, version 5.3.0* I was looking for a simple app to record videos with a scoreboard (no streaming). I tested it beforehand at the highest quality setting (4K 60fps) and it seemed to work fine. However, during the actual sporting event, most of the videos I recorded had serious audio problems, and some also had video quality issues. The scoreboard function itself worked as expected. Since I didn’t change any settings and the app now works fine when I test it again, I suspect it’s a bug. It doesn’t seem to be an iPhone issue, as recordings with the native camera app don’t have these problems. ### 5/5 — Absolute best for Club Volleyball *2025-08-06, version 5.3.0* I have been using this app every season for the past 2 years. It’s the best out there for score keeping and customization. I hope to see more options available in the future, but you won’t find any other like it right now. Check out my daughter’s YouTube for examples, I’ve recorded every game using ScoreCam. rae_vb on YouTube ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Highlights take long time to save *2026-09-05, version 5.7.0* With the latest update, it seems that saving highlights takes a very long time to save compared to the previous version. It takes so long to save that I’ve missed the opportunity to save subsequent highlights. ### 1/5 — Can’t even switch Score board font *2026-07-28, version 5.5* Sucks can’t even switch Score board font and was so glitchy ### 1/5 — Ayuda *2026-07-26, version 5.5* Todo bien hasta q realizo la actualizacion, no puedo transmitir envivos. ### 1/5 — Total disappointment *2026-07-12, version 5.5* I purchased the annual Subscription. Once I purchased and I tried to set this up, I got messages showing how this is not compatible with Facebook. The only reason I got this was to stream video in our parent group on Facebook. There are all kinds of warnings to not use this product with Facebook. However, I didn’t see those anywhere until after I paid. I haven’t been able to find any kind of customer support to address this. I wouldn’t recommend for anyone thinking about using this with Facebook. I can’t speak on any other platforms. Update: I don’t remember how long ago I left this review but I received an email today July 12, 2026 in response to my 1 star review. The email response was not to provide any new assistance just to direct me to the messages about why Facebook was not suitable. The same messages you can’t see until after you pay. It’s been so long since I left the review that I had forgotten all about this horrible product. Well I’m here to update my review but still cannot give ZERO stars so I’ll stick to one and remind anyone reading this that the customer service for this app might be the absolute worst in any industry that I’ve ever experienced. Can’t believe I got that email. SMH ### 1/5 — Total disappointment *2026-02-25, version 5.3.1* I purchased the annual Subscription.

Support is non existant. Does any of these apps actually work? ### 1/5 — Live streaming is poor, after 2 years still poor *2025-12-20, version 5.3.1* Support and ability to live stream onto social media platforms is the poorest of all the other apps. They need to step up their game. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2025-12-14, version 5.3.1* I don’t want to pay to have to customize. 🤦 ### 1/5 — pay *2025-09-26, version 5.3.1* i had to pay for everything ### 1/5 — No longer livestreams *2025-08-29, version 5.3.0* I used to use this app on a special YouTube account to livestream kids game to grandparents in another state. But now YouTube requires that you have 50 subscribers to livestream. ScoreCam help just tells you to restore purchase 🙄 Still works to get a recording of the games. But not the same experience. Also, how do you get in touch with ScoreCam. The only way before was to “report a bug”. Now, ironically, click on that, the app shuts down 🤦‍♂️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-23, version 5.6.1* Combine with the remote and you have an incredible app for streaming and recording games. You can keep track of the score, sets, clip highlights of varying lengths, etc. ### 5/5 — Great for Hockey *2026-08-03, version 5.6.1* I’ve used this app for many years and streamed and recorded over 250 kids hockey games. It’s always been reliable and makes for a great experience for the parents at home. I can’t recommend it enough. ### 5/5 — Fabulous for recording youth hockey *2026-08-03, version 5.6.1* I have used Scorecam for many years to stream and record over 250 of my kids' youth hockey games. It is reliable and easy to use. I don't use everything in the app, but I do record the score and shots on goal. With the remote iOS app that comes for free it makes it so easy to be a one-person show with videoing, commenting, and keeping the basic stats. I'd definitely recommend anyone filming hockey to try the app and see if it's for you. I think you'll find that it is a game changer. ### 5/5 — Hockey Streaming *2026-06-22, version 5.3.1* I’ve been using scorecam along with the companion remote app for several years and love it. I’ve recommended it to several other travel teams over the years. I’m currently streaming for Northview High School Varsity hockey in Sylvania, Ohio. Feel free to visit Northview Hockey on YouTube. My only complaint would be the lack of an external zoom remote connectivity. I would love to be about to zoom in and out more fluidity during a game. It would also be great to have more branding spots. The current limit of 2 is not enough. I’m hoping you are still actively supporting this great app and would consider my enhancement request. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Youth Sports Streaming and Recording App *2026-03-22, version 5.3.1* Great app with many advantages over others like the ability to record matches with a scoreboard locally while using a second device to score without relying on internet access. Brilliant! HEVC also works for streaming very well - excellent picture quality stream to YouTube at sustained 1.3MB/s. I just wish the Volleyball Scoreboard was a little more full featured (serving indicator, timeout indicator, end set button that increments sets won and resets set score, etc. Ability to set number of sets per match and indicator a winner on screen with match score summary would also be nice. ### 5/5 — Great Camera for sports *2026-02-10, version 5.3.1* The camera is intuitive but the built in scoreboard and ability to store clips while you are recording the game is top notch! ### 5/5 — One of the best livestream apps available! Some adjustments can make it perfect! *2025-12-08, version 5.3.1* I have been livestreaming ice hockey with ScoreCam for two years now and 3 teams. The ability to select from multiple scoreboards, showcase team logos, penalty clock, shots count, and image overlays all with a remote via bluetooth sets this streaming app apart from the rest! What can make it better? - better ability to adjust camera focus and white balance. The auto and locking ability makes little to no difference at all. White ice in some hockey rinks can come up super bright, and there is no way to adjust white balance or exposure for viewers. There is no ability to adjust the focus beyond the auto focus. Not to get too specific but some rinks have black netting along the perimeter of the ice and with a white ice backdrop it can really mess with camera focus that can't be corrected with auto focus. Other apps allow a highlight clip with the ability to play it back during the livestream which could be cool for viewer experience. Ultimately it's all scoreboard that sets a livestream apart from just using Facebook or YouTube. Added ability to customize the scoreboard options, shape, colors etc. make this app so great! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-12-01, version 5.3.1* I have been recording soccer, football, and hockey games and this app has helped me with live streaming score. The $10 PRO version for life is worth it! Thank you for this app. ### 5/5 — Helps record school games *2025-10-02, version 5.3.1* I've been using ScoreCam to record my kid's school water polo games and it makes the videos look much better than raw recordings; also, saving the highlights by two fingers tap is so much easier than editing the video later after the game. The app does not support water polo rules out of the box, but is configurable enough so I could use one of the scoreboard designs to accomodate quarters, game clock, and 30 sec shot clock. Would be nice to have 20 sec ejection timer too but, I guess, maybe they will add something later. Tracking the time and score during the game requires some attention but is very similar to running the real clock so if you have any experience doing that, you won't have any issues with the app interface. Would be great to have some minor features added, such as a possibility to automatically stop the game clock and reset shot clock on goal! ### 5/5 — Score Cam *2025-08-30, version 5.3.0* I like the app! This app and the associated remote app has issues, some good…and a few bad- sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it kills my stream and I have to restart both apps in the middle of the stream. Luckily YouTube has buffering grace and I can pull it back up quick after a restart. However it requires complete reset/re-sync of clocks and other info (we use it for hockey). Overall - Smitty has done a good job and once a year he will continue to get my pro subscription on scorecam (as there aren’t to many products[if any] that do everything this does at this price). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
