Watch App for Lacrosse Officials, Phone App for Table Personnel. Keep score, penalties, and other live game statistics. An optional timer is also available when needed (big font size!). No need to use a separate game card. An iPhone app that syncs with the watch, so the table and referee are always in sync with score, penalties and game timer. A labor of love for our dedicated group.

Court Tracker is basketball stat tracking built for the sideline — for youth coaches, team managers and anyone keeping the book courtside. All tracking works offline, and your rosters, stats and player photos stay on your device. FREE TO RUN YOUR BENCH Court Time and Court Time & Score are free, forever: minutes, rotations, substitutions, the live score and +/-. Your first complete Full Game Stats game is free too — every stat, the box score, the shot chart and the summary at the end, kept in your history. Unlock once to track as many games as you like. TRACK EVERY PLAY Tap a player, then the stat. Record points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers and fouls, with twos, threes and free throws tracked separately for accurate shooting percentages. Make a basket and Court Tracker asks who assisted; miss and it asks who took the rebound. Run the game clock and log the opposition's scoring as you go. SHOT CHARTS One tap on the court marks where each of your field goals was taken. Makes and misses build a chart you can read during the game, in the summary and across a season, with accuracy by zone. Rather skip the extra tap? Switch it off in Settings. VOICE STATS Hold the microphone, call the play, then release. Voice Stats listens in your device's English — American, Australian, British and more — and recognizes speech on the device itself, so the audio is never saved or sent anywhere. It needs an iPhone or iPad that supports on-device speech recognition. Add your own spoken names for any player it mishears. COURT TIME AND SUBSTITUTIONS Track minutes, rotations and substitutions with Court Time, and see every player's minutes as the game runs. Swap players on a purpose-built substitution screen, with the clock pausing for subs if you like. Add the score with Court Time & Score for a live timeline of when each player was on court and when they scored, against a running team +/- line. LINEUPS AND PLAYING TIME See which five actually works. Every lineup is rated per ten minutes, so a short run compares fairly with a long one, and you can see how the team goes with each player on the floor and off it. Set the minimum minutes you promise each player and see who is falling short, who is carrying too much, and whose minutes have quietly dropped away. COMPARE OPPONENTS AND VENUES Compare your record and scoring against each opponent, at home and away, and in tournaments against regular-season games, with rolling averages over your last three, five or ten games. CUSTOM STAT TRACKING Track just the box-score stats you choose, plus two of your own, with shot locations if you want them. ROSTERS, SEASONS AND HISTORY Create multiple teams with no limit on roster size, add player photos, and import a roster from a CSV file. Retire a player without losing their history. Group games into seasons with Top 5 leaderboards, career and per-game averages, and full shooting splits. Every game keeps its box score, period-by-period scores and MVP, with CSV export and a Coach Report PDF to share. QUICK GAME SETUP Choose quarters or halves and the period length, name your opponent, pick your starting five, and record the venue, league or tournament. Save a setup you use every week as a template. IPHONE AND IPAD Portrait on iPhone. On iPad, a landscape layout with large, near-square buttons for the bench or the scorer's table. Light and dark mode. ONE PRICE, NO SUBSCRIPTION A one-time Premium purchase unlocks unlimited Full Game Stats, Custom Stat Tracking, exports and the Statistics Hub — playing time across the season, lineups, comparisons and player leaders. No subscription, no ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CourtTracker at Free against LaxRef's $1.99. CourtTracker also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). LaxRef's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
