About

Scoreboard

Features
Read full description

A dead-simple scoreboard for any two-team game — no clutter, no interruptions. Big, glanceable numbers you can read across the court. Tap a side to score, swipe down to fix a mistake, track sets at the top. That's it. BUILT FOR REAL GAMES • Huge score panels — readable from across the gym • Set / game tracking for match play • One tap to score, quick undo for mistakes • Keeps the screen awake through the whole match • Works for volleyball, pickleball, badminton, table tennis, basketball, tennis and more DARTS AND CARD GAMES TOO Not every game counts upward, so the scoreboard adapts. • Darts (x01) — counts down from 501 or 301, an exact out closes the leg, and a bust is voided for you • Card games — type a whole round's points at once on a big numeric keypad NO ADS DURING PLAY Nothing interrupts the match. The small banner sits out of the way and never covers the score. AD-FREE OPTIONS Unlimited games for both teams; the app shows ads (a small banner during play; full-screen ads only at launch or after a match ends). To remove ads, choose a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or one of three lifetime options. The lifetime options differ only in support amount; the benefit is the same. Earlier Pro purchases can still be restored. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
