Want to learn how to play pickleball? Scoring and positioning can be challenging to learn and keep track of. The Pickleball Wizard app will guide you through the game, while also saving your match scores and player stats.   Who’s up next? Which service court? How do we score? The Pickleball Wizard app provides an interactive, step-by-step guide. It’ll guide you through games of singles (full court) or doubles. Your match scores and player stats will be saved and you can manually add scores as well. Saved scores and stats can be exported. A companion Watch App is included with the phone app. The watch app is a standalone app that operates separate from the Phone version. With the watch app you can keep score and track where players should be as you play. Simply enter player names and tap which side faulted. For both Doubles & Singles, it will keep track of which player is serving along with the score to call (and for Doubles, the server number as well). Doubles is color-coded to easily see which court each player should be in. Please note that if you wish to save scores to your stats, you can manually enter the final score on the phone app (in the Scoreboard section). Please reach out with any questions, comments or requests.
