Pingel

Read full description

A soccer scoreboard and game timer for youth and amateur teams. Pingel is the app for the person on the sideline who runs the game: set up your roster once, start the clock, and tap goals, assists and cards as they happen. It works for 11v11 soccer and for futsal, from youth soccer to a rec league side. The clock, timeline and season stats stay with you on the phone. Lock the screen and the game keeps running on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, where you can stop and start the clock without opening anything. Ask Siri for the score with muddy hands. Share a link and parents, subs and friends watch the live score and timeline in a browser — no app, no account. Or invite them into Pingel by QR code: followers get a notification for every goal, and a second coach stays in sync and can take over. WHAT YOU GET • Team setup — paste your club's team page and Pingel fills in the name, colors and roster, or set them by hand • Soccer or futsal — per team, with its own half length and cards • Game timer — two halves, pause and resume, count up or down, halftime worked out for you • Live scoreboard — goals with scorer and assist, cards, opponent goals • Lineups and substitutions — who starts, who is on the bench, every sub logged, playing time counted • Timeline — kickoff, halftime and the final whistle, every event minute-stamped • Lock Screen — a Live Activity with the score, the clock and a pause button • Siri — ask the score, stop or start the clock without looking • Season stats — record, form, shutouts, top scorers, assists, cards, minutes and starts • Earlier in the season — add goals and assists from before you started, so a season joined halfway still ranks correctly • Live sharing — a public viewer link that updates as you tap • Notifications — kickoff, every goal with scorer and assist, and the final score • Invites by QR — followers to watch, coaches to score alongside you • Multiple teams — switch freely; each keeps its own history • iPad — a sidebar for your teams and a game console to prop up by the field • Your way — keep the screen awake, light or dark, English or Dutch Everything lives on your phone by default. The server only holds what you deliberately share.
