Always know the best checkout finish for each double. This app is an indispensable tool if you want to increase your performance and your average permanently! Strengthen yourself mentally, even if there is no dartboard around! Are you standing on a 65 again and have to calculate how best to put a 40 or 32? You are already at a disadvantage because you lose concentration while arithmetic and have to start again. The Darts Checkout Trainer helps you to gradually learn all common checkouts from 41 to 170 by heart. And if you prefer a different finish route than suggested by the app for a checkout, you can edit the stored checkout table at any time and save your preferred routes. In a real match, you can also use the app as a checkout table! The app always shows you your current favorite checkout. You can also use the app as a clear checkout table!  Make sure to try out the widgets "Checkout of the day" and "Checkout table"! Do you have to write on a scoreboard at a league game again? Or are you playing on a board with a friend and there is no app available? With this app you can practice "calculating by hand"! In addition to the mental training, there will be more and more practical games on the board over time. 501, Around the clock and Bob's 27 are the hottest new games. Get accurate on every single segment of the board and push your double hit rates! And very important: The app is optimized for both iPhones and iPads. If you hang your iPad right next to the dartboard, you will see all the displays clearly from the drop point. Don't waste any time and start your training today!
