Pickleball Point Keeper makes scoring simple and accurate for every match. In addition, the app will show proper server and server position automatically. After each rally, just tap the side of the court for the team that won the rally/point. The app automatically updates the score, tracks the correct server (S1/S2) along with the correct server side, and handles side-outs by switching service to the opposing team—so you don’t have to worry about keeping track. The score bar always shows the serving team’s score first, followed by the opponent’s score, along with the current server. Made a mistake or a call changed? Tap the yellow score bar to undo the previous point or side-out, then tap the correct winning team side. When the game ends, reset instantly by tapping the Doubles (D) or Singles (S) indicator. You’ll be prompted to choose Doubles or Singles and select the starting server to begin a new game. An active monthly or yearly subscription is required to access the scoring features of the app. The standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): [Apple Terms of Use (EULA)](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Pickleball Point Keeper offers optional Premium subscriptions to unlock all features: •⁠ ⁠Monthly Premium – $2.99/month •⁠ ⁠Yearly Premium – $29.99/year Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
