Game Changer

Best app for improving at pickleball. I try to have a short memory when I’m playing pickleball—Unforced pickleball helps me after the game to identify what parts of my game I need to improve so that I can just worry about being present in the moment while I’m playing

A huge asset to my game

My skills have improved dramatically since using this app regularly. Great resource for analysis, stat tracking, and training.

Thank you UPB!!!

How to??

Where are the directions?
Nothing in settings
I would like to open on my Apple Watch

Watch app not working

Watch app is not running, force stop before loading. Any tip?

Force Closes

Would love to try and review. But the Apple Watch app force closes when I try to run it

AMAZING!!!

Just found this tool and I am blown away. Simple, intuitive and easy to use and will absolutely help me move from a 4.5 to a 5.0 player. It has helped me identify several specific shots (cut dink backhand) that I need to focus on during my training. I just LOVE THIS APP!!!

Trying it out

This is what I was looking for. took a just a bit to figure out, I got it going and have only used in basic mode as a game spectator. Love how you can quickly edit the players to get it everyone in the right spots. As another reviewer said, time between points is very limited so it has to be fast. It’s not easy to determine quickly between unforced errors and winners in this game. Kind of subjective. It doesn’t seem to give an individual player breakdown for each player. Just the impact score. I’m uncertain how that is calculated. Is winner +1 while error is -1? I’ll try the advanced mode and see how it goes. Also have to see how my friends take to it long term. I like the idea of discussing whether everyone agrees it was a winner or an error. But that may take the fun out.

Love the new features!!!

Video upload and player impact tracking are awesome !!!

Great App

Provides great insights on game performance and ultimately where to spend time drilling.

New update is great

I like the new update. I’m curious if there is a web app for this too? I’ve recorded some games on my phone and want to retroactively record the stats. It would be cool if I could watch on my phone while entering this into a website.

Cumbersome to use

Update: although I couldn’t add players at first (“Unable to save player. Please try again later”) a couple of days went by and I finally could add the players However it’s awkward to use. You can’t initiate games from the Apple Watch so have to go to your phone to initiate each game. The scoring on the watch does allow you to track a lot of information about each point and player but that’s a lot of work in between each point, wasting game time.

Hi mommycott, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate your feedback. We're overhauling the app to address many of those issues and to make it more seamless to use - like initiating a game from the watch! This is part of our focus for the next few months - we appreciate your support! The Unforced Pickleball Team

Need help

I really like this apps potential. Too many times after a game I see players looking at their partner like they were the only reason they lost the game. It would be nice to break down the game and strategically plan improvement.
1) I need help determining how to erase old match data.
2) also, it would be nice to be able to add a note by a specific point to facilitate remembering the play

Hi mmc2727, Really appreciate your feedback! We've been revamping some aspects of the app, including the screen to track a live match. 1. Noted on the ability to delete old matches - we will prioritize this for a subsequent release. 2. We've been hesitant to introduce another step (like add a note) in between points for fear of slowing the game down. However, we'll keep monitoring and if it's a popular request will find a creative way to include it! Thanks for your support! The Unforced Pickleball Team

Almost what it needs to be..

Apple Watch app improvements needed are 1: strong selection button colors for shot result recordings (can’t see the dark grey) 2: option to record ONLY your shots on the watch to gets statistics for self improvement…(non scorekeeper mode). 3: revised shot election from alphabetical to more realistic…example start with serve and descending order of shots typically used. 4: add frequent shot names buttons in addition to roller and dynamic screen change for next selection.

In summary if you can’t record your stats FAST in the 10 seconds you have between shots the watch app will not succeed.

Will test more and provide more feedback.
