Squash 11 vs SquashXtra

You are on the bench with a match to referee, or you are playing and someone has to keep the score. Squash 11 does the counting, so you can keep your eyes on the ball. Tap the side that won the rally. The score goes up, the serving side moves across, and the rally drops into the history underneath with the time it took. Called a let or a stroke? Those buttons sit right under each player, big enough to hit without looking down, one tap and it is recorded. The call goes into the history as well, so nobody has to remember what happened three rallies ago. Between games the app keeps the clock. The warm-up, the minute after it, the rest between games, all timed and all adjustable. When the match is over it stays in your list, with every game score and every rally still in it. No account, nothing to sign up for, and nothing leaves your phone. Out of the box it scores a standard match: best of five, to eleven, rally point, two clear points in a tiebreak. Plays your club or your tournament something else? One purchase unlocks the four match settings, so you can set it up the way you actually play. Works on iPad too, which helps when you want the score readable from the other side of the court.
