Your pickleball game deserves better than a paper scorecard. PickleBall Stats is the all-in-one match tracker built for how you actually play — whether you want to keep it simple or dive deep into every shot. TRACK YOUR WAY Choose from three tracking modes that fit your style: - Score Only — Tap "Us" or "Them" and get back to playing. The fastest way to keep score. - Lite Stats — Record how each point ends (Winner, Unforced Error, Ace, or Fault) and optionally attribute points to individual players in doubles. - Full Stats — Go all-in with shot type tracking (drives, dinks, drops, ernes, and more), forehand/backhand splits, and court zone breakdowns.  Your last-used tracking mode is remembered, so setup takes seconds. SCORE FROM YOUR WRIST Start a match on your iPhone and track points from your Apple Watch. Two-way sync keeps both devices updated in real time. The Watch reconnects automatically — even after app restarts — so you never lose your score mid-match. SEE YOUR GAME IMPROVE Your Dashboard turns raw data into insights: - Win rate trend charts that show your progress over time - Point outcome breakdowns: compare your winners, errors, aces, and faults against opponents - Shot analytics: see which shot types win you points, your forehand vs. backhand split, and where on the court you dominate - Win and loss streaks to track your momentum - Head-to-head records against every opponent - Filter stats by week, month, 3 months, year, or all time BUILT FOR DOUBLES AND SINGLES Full support for both match types with proper side-out and rally scoring. In side-out doubles, the app tracks server rotation and displays the traditional three-number score. Win-by-2 deuce play, games to 11/15/21, and best-of-1/3/5 series are all configurable. PLAYER PROFILES & COACHING Create profiles for yourself and your regular playing partners. Switch the Dashboard to view stats from any player's perspective — perfect for coaches tracking multiple players. Your selected player is automatically set as "You" for new matches. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Your data syncs seamlessly via iCloud. Track on your iPhone at the courts, review stats on your iPad at home. Install on a new device and your profile and match history appear automatically. MATCH HISTORY Browse, search, and filter your complete match library. Tap any match for game-by-game breakdowns with rally outcomes, shot details, and notes. Resume in-progress matches right where you left off. EXPORT YOUR DATA Share your progress with PDF reports featuring charts and stat summaries, or export raw match data as a CSV spreadsheet for your own analysis.
