Amazing free app!

Some will say i got paid to said that but believe me or not i did not. The app is really really grind. Fluidity of the app is also why i gave it a 5 stars. You can fully customize the match rules. It doesn't hurt to try it for yourself.
A word for the developer, please make a tennis app or section:) your talent are great and would definitely like to see a tennis app!

Well done!

Uncomplicated and just works. Took me a game or two to get muscle memory of keeping score.

My play partners like the cast of the score to my iPad. They don’t like when I haven’t changed the score fast enough. Let me celebrate!

Thanks for the app!!

Feature request: I would like to be able to set a match up on my phone and then control the score on my watch. Setting the match up on my watch works, I just think it is much easier with a bigger screen.

Needs improvement

I like some of the features however, it’s not intuitive. I’m having a hard time getting used to the swipes. It would be helpful if you flip the player view. E.g. if I can only be on the blue team I would like be able to view the blue team on either the top or the bottom of the screen so that it emulates where my starting position is from a Birds Eye view.

Perfect…except?

Simply an incredible app that I not only use daily, but endorse often publicly. The only things that I would strive to change/add…1) a small in-game timer would be nice (many round robin games are timed and it would be great to see remaining time), 2) disable the Watch crown rotation for scoring (swipe is easier and the crown often gets inadvertently rotated during play), 3) adding microphone control to be able to quickly change player names. I set mine up as my wife and I playing my brother/sister in law. In open play we change partners and opponents every game. It works if I am playing a male and female as I just use my preset brother/sister in laws names, but when 2 opponents of the same gender play me, it gets difficult. It would be nice to long press an existing name and be able to replace it with “hat” or “bald” or “tall”…, 4) would be great to have a “default” setup option. My everyday routine is to start a game and tap each of the 4 players from my list (one at a time). I ALWAYS adjust from this starting spot.

The app itself is amazing and has been on my wrist for 450 hours of play in the last year…players with me love it. I frequently screencast the score to my iPad mounted on a ½ court fence.
