Scorena

Features
Read full description

Scorena turns your iPhone or iPad into a clean, professional LED scoreboard for three sports — football, basketball, and volleyball. Bright, glowing numerals and physical-feeling controls make it easy to run a match from the sideline, the bench, or the scorer's table. Pick a sport and you're ready in seconds. Every board is tuned to how that sport is actually kept, so there's nothing to configure and nothing in your way. FOOTBALL • Count-up match clock with halves • Editable home and away team names • Fast +1 / −1 scoring BASKETBALL • Count-down game clock with selectable 10 or 12-minute quarters • 24-second shot clock with its own start and reset • +1 / +2 / +3 scoring keys • Start on the left of the timer, reset on the right — just like real hardware VOLLEYBALL • Best-of-5 sets, win by 2 • Live point target (25, or 15 in the deciding set) • Sets-won indicators for each team • Automatic match-winner celebration DESIGNED FOR THE GAME • Bold LED display that reads clearly from a distance • Tactile, glowing controls that feel like a physical console • Works in portrait and landscape, from iPhone up to iPad • Navigation stays at the top; the board sits front and center • The screen stays awake for the whole match • Editable team names on every board No accounts. No sign-up. No clutter. Just open it and keep score.
