There’s nothing special. It’s simple and it works. You can add and remove points and reset. The numbers are big. The server indicator is an extra step, and I just don’t use it. It let me play two games before it required me to pay $9.99. I wish it was upfront about it. ### 3/5 — Simple and useful app… *2025-10-20, version 2.2* But can’t use it on the Apple watch when using iOS activity tracker. And can’t score traditional tennis points. Reasonable £9.99 if those features could work. ### 2/5 — Not for Apple Watch *2025-09-03* Works good, but on Apple Watch it doesn’t stay open after I take my eyes off interface. So in order to enter the next count I have to unlock watch and open app. Useless for me to keep count of how many shots I take. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The Apple Watch auto-locks by default when you lower your wrist. To keep the app open, go to the Watch app on iPhone → General > Wake Screen (or on watchOS 10: Settings > Display & Brightness > Return to Clock) and set it to “After 1 hour.” This way the app will stay open so you can keep counting without unlocking each time. ### 3/5 — Great until … *2025-07-11, version 2.2* Don’t know why it’s not free, you get a free trail for a short time and then it’s paid for ### 5/5 — Review *2024-12-18* This is a definite five star app probably the scoreboard app out there **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words. We strive to continuously improve the app. ### 4/5 — Good but… *2024-11-11* Times out too quick ### 5/5 — Scoring Mate - I would definitely recommend! *2024-11-03, version 1.0.2* I love scoring mate! It was so helpful for the netball match because we were no longer guessing what the score was! It is easy to click, very bold, and is easy to see. You can decide which team is which colour and watch the scores grow. I would definitely recommend. It makes scoring a lot easier! ### 4/5 — Great App and Simple *2024-10-19* Great Scoreboard App for Wrestling Officiating I use this app regularly to keep score while officiating wrestling matches, and it has been a game-changer. It’s incredibly easy to use and super responsive to touch, which is essential during fast-paced matches. The only suggestion I have is to add options for customizable background colors beyond the default blue and red. For wrestling, having the choice to include Red, Green, and Blue would be very helpful. And if that happens this would be a 5 STAR REVIEW. Overall, this app works perfectly for both College and High School events, and I rely on it every time I officiate. Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Used it for a game of cards *2024-03-31, version 1.0.2* Was ammmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzziiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg ### 5/5 — Worked great *2024-03-24* I kept score at a basketball game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Made it worse *2025-12-07* It was great before last update. Now it’s unusable on Apple Watch due to poor UI design. Should go back to the simple score method it originally was. ### 1/5 — Switched to paid model *2025-03-31* Worked well on my watch but suddenly requires a pro purchase ($9.99USD) to keep using after “2 free trials.” ### 1/5 — Fantastic app! *2025-02-06* Update: The app is buggy now after updates. On my Apple Watch, the score will change on its own…That’s a problem!. Also, the app said that I had reached my free trial period and wants me to buy it again. I already bought it about 7 months ago. I hope they fix it soon . This is a real asset when playing. I use it mostly on my Apple Watch. It’s super easy to keep score. One function I wish it had is when the app is launched on the phone and the score is changed on the watch, the phone would also update with the new score. This would be great when playing teams as one side could see the score on the watch and the other could see it on the phone. Maybe it’s just a setting I need to change? Regardless…. I love this app! **Developer response:** Please update the app to the latest version from the app store. The issues you have mentioned have been fixed.

I have also paid the $10 fee, hoping it would address these problems, but unfortunately, they persist. As a wrestling official, I rely heavily on this app for accurate scorekeeping. However, I have encountered the following critical issues: 1.Score Reset Malfunction: After resetting, the old score reappears, even though the display initially shows 0-0. 2.Unresponsive Touchscreen Controls: Updating the score often requires multiple taps. Despite hearing the confirmation sound, the score doesn’t always update on the first touch. I want to emphasize that the previous version of the app was exceptional and highly responsive. The current version, however, has significantly hindered my ability to perform my duties effectively. Pros: •The ability to name scoreboards and select preferred color schemes is appreciated. Cons: 1.Score Reset Malfunction: As described above. 2.Unresponsive Touchscreen Controls: As described above. 3.Lack of Wrestling Logo: It would be beneficial to include a wrestling logo option. Given these persistent issues, I kindly request that you address them promptly. If a resolution cannot be provided in a timely manner, I would appreciate a refund of my payment. Thank you for your attention to this matter. **Developer response:** Please update the app to the latest version from the app store. The issues you have mentioned have been fixed. If you face any further problems, please email us at support @techpositive.co and we will help you immediately. If your issues are fixed, kindly update this review rating. ### 1/5 — Laggy *2025-01-20* I used to use this app all the time when it was free. Since the update, I tried using it only on my watch and I got the spinning circle for 5-10 seconds before I could input scores. Incredibly annoying while playing sports. I would pay for it but found the update unusable. **Developer response:** Please update the app to the latest version from the app store. The issues you have mentioned have been fixed. If you face any further problems, please email us at support @techpositive.co and we will help you immediately. If your issues are fixed, kindly update this review rating. ### 1/5 — Completely broken since update *2025-01-15* Used to work so well, now whenever I raise my arm up to press a score a loading symbol comes up and I cannot do anything whatsoever. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-11-22* This app appears free and is super simple. After using it twice it locked and wanted $10 to unlock. Pass and look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Can’t save scores *2024-11-09* Would be nice to have the ability to save scores ### 1/5 — asking money for tapping on a screen??? *2024-06-14, version 1.0.2* i was thoroughly enjoying this app until i was asked to pay to further my winning streak. u can reset about 5 times before you are asked to pay £10 for a simple number tracking app. kids are crying now. ### 2/5 — Apple Watch Issue *2026-03-18* I’m having an issue where it keeps popping up that my free trials have been used up. I have purchased the pro version but for some reason my watch is not updated. Very annoying when I have paid for the pro version and yet still unable to keep score. It gets the job done on my phone, but when I’m on the court playing, would be nice to update it on my watch rather than running to my phone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-02-17* Vey useful for baseball and volleyball ### 5/5 — Vicky vs Joey *2026-02-08, version 2.3.1* We had so much fun with counting up to 1350 ### 5/5 — Perfect simple scoring app *2025-12-15* I use this for volleyball with friends and it works great. I can update the score from my watch after each point. We put the phone on a stand so everyone can see the scores as they update. Recently the font went from white to black which is a lot harder to see. I hope there will be an update to set the color of the font back to white. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool *2025-11-29* I’m loving it. Now I’m the family scorekeeper 👍 ### 5/5 — 굳뜨 *2025-11-06* Goood! ### 5/5 — It works, no complaints *2025-07-19* The app does the job touch for point and a decrease button at the bottom. It works ### 5/5 — Perfect simple scoring app *2025-03-31, version 2.0.4* I use this for volleyball with friends and it works great. I can update the score from my watch after each point. We put the phone on a stand so everyone can see the scores as they update. The one thing that would make the app better is if the scores were a larger font. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-03-16, version 2.0.4* I like the app my sister and I were playing connect for and it’s amazing how I can keep up the number also, I do have one little favor that I would like for y’all to add on this app is connect for to it ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-01-14, version 2.0* A brilliant Apple Watch app to use when playing 7 a side football to keep track of the scores!
