TURN EVERY MATCH INTO PROGRESS Ad-In helps you improve your tennis by turning match mistakes into focused practice. Instead of guessing what to work on, record errors live from your Apple Watch — no phone needed courtside — analyze performance trends, and get drill suggestions targeting your biggest weaknesses. Whether you play singles, doubles, league matches, or tournaments, Ad-In helps you practice with purpose. STANDALONE APPLE WATCH TRACKING Log winners, unforced errors, and tactical mistakes with a tap — no phone required nearby. Every entry triggers haptic feedback so you always know it registered, without breaking focus on the point. ERROR TRACKING THAT GOES DEEPER THAN THE SCORE Most match trackers stop at "unforced error." Ad-In lets you tag exactly why: a backhand error as net, long, or wide; a serve error as a double fault; a tactical error as shot selection, positioning, rushed, or no commit. That's the detail that turns "I made too many errors" into "I need to work on my backhand down the line." DETAILED PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS After every match, review statistics to uncover patterns in your game: - Your most common errors, broken down by cause - Winners vs. errors ratio - Performance trends over time - Strengths and weaknesses by shot type - Progress across multiple matches PRACTICE DRILLS BASED ON YOUR DATA Ad-In suggests practice drills based on the errors you actually made, helping you focus training where it counts. TRACK YOUR DOUBLES PARTNER TOO Recording doubles? Tag your partner's errors right alongside your own, then share the completed match with them over the air if they have Ad-In, so you're both looking at the same data. APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION Every tracked session is automatically logged as a workout in Apple Health, capturing activity, calories, heart rate, and exercise minutes alongside your tennis stats. BUILT FOR APPLE WATCH Designed for fast, courtside interaction, so you can log what happened without losing focus on the game. FEATURES - Standalone Apple Watch tracking, no phone required - Haptic feedback on every logged event - Detailed error tagging by shot and cause - Practice drill suggestions based on your match data - Match history and performance trends - Winners vs. errors analytics - Doubles partner error tracking - Over-the-air match sharing with other Ad-In users - Apple Health workout integration - Heart rate to error analysis - Simple, distraction-free interface Stop guessing what to practice. Start improving with every match.
