Do you too enjoy playing badminton with friends? Now you can keep track of your score with a handy app on your watch! 1. Add players to a new game for your side and their side. 2. Did they win the toss? Tap on the top half of your watch screen. 3. Did you win the rally? Tap on the bottom half of your watch screen. The screen shows the correct positions on the field for all players: single, double, or even single vs. double. Scores, services and match points are announced by voice, so all your team mates keep informed too. HEALTH DATA AND YOUR PRIVACY Badminton games are recorded as workouts in “Health”. The app requests write access for workouts in “Health” to be able to store the game results. It requests read access to workouts it has recorded in “Health” to be able to display the rankings and latest game results. A few other health statistics, like distance run and average heart rate are read to show to you in the summary at the end of the game. This app works best if you give it read and write access in “Health” for workouts. You can choose to use it without read and/or write access. In that case the rankings and game results won't show, but you can still keep track of your scores during a game of badminton with the Apple Watch app.
