Keep score the way pickleball is actually played — official side-out scoring, called out loud, with no ads and no account. Now it also pairs with your Apple watch or a Bluetooth remote, so you never have to touch your phone mid-rally. Pickleball Remote Scoreboard tracks doubles and singles matches the way referees do: serving score, receiving score, and server number for doubles (starting 0-0-2), or a simple two-number call for singles. After every rally, the app speaks the score out loud in your choice of 9 languages, so you can keep your eyes on the court instead of the screen. WHY PICKLEBALL PLAYERS USE IT • Three official scoring versions: traditional side-out, rally scoring (every rally counts), and tournament side-out to 15 • Choose your game length — play to 11, 15, or 21 points • Win-by-2 (hard cap) toggle, so you control whether a 1-point win ends the game • Single game, best of 3, or best of 5 matches, with a between-games screen and a set-by-set recap when it's over • Voice score-calling after every rally, using your device's own text-to-speech — no internet required • One-tap undo if you miscount a rally • Keeps your screen awake for the whole match • A confetti-and-3D winner screen when the match ends • Fully offline after install — no connection needed mid-match SCORE FROM YOUR APPLE WATCH With the app open on your phone, your Apple Watch becomes the remote: two big team buttons showing each side's score, an undo, and a tap to pick who serves first. Every tap buzzes to confirm the point landed, so you can keep your eyes on the court. Between games the watch offers Next game too — no walk back to the phone. SCORE WITHOUT TOUCHING YOUR PHONE Pair the app with an inexpensive Bluetooth remote — the kind sold as a "bike handlebar" music control — or a clicker-style presenter remote, and score a rally without looking at or touching your phone. Open Settings → Remote buttons, press Learn, then press the button you want: one tap binds it to Point Blue, Point Green, or Undo. Swipe gestures and keyboard-style clickers work too. (One hardware limitation applies to every app on every phone, not just this one: volume buttons can never be read by any app, so pick a play, next, or previous button on your remote instead.) HEAR THE CALL IN 9 LANGUAGES Pick your language from the sound button or from Settings: English (US), English (UK), German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, or Vietnamese. The whole app follows — menus, settings and score calls. Score calls use your device's own built-in voices — nothing is downloaded or sent anywhere. Voice availability depends on which voices your device has installed; if a language sounds unavailable, add its voice under Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices. ALSO KEEPS SCORE FOR 16 MORE SPORTS Pickleball comes first, but the same fast, hands-free scoreboard also runs table tennis, badminton, tennis, padel, platform tennis, beach tennis, squash, racquetball, crossminton, volleyball, sepak takraw, roundnet/spikeball, cornhole, foosball, shuffleboard, and bocce/pétanque — each with its own real scoring versions (like table tennis's serve rotation or volleyball's 15-point fifth set), not a generic tally. Pick a sport under Settings and it's remembered as your default the next time you open the app. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING There's nothing to sign up for. Your sport choice, game settings, remote-button mapping, and language preference stay on your device. Pickleball Remote Scoreboard has no ads, no analytics, and no third-party tracking of any kind — see our privacy policy for the details. WHO IT'S FOR Rec players keeping score on a public court, league players who want an accurate side-out call, anyone who wants to referee hands-free from the sideline, and anyone who's ever lost count mid-rally.
