Develop your Darts Scoring mental arithmetic, improve your accuracy, increase your speed using the Chalking App. Based on scoring characteristics of the game of darts, the app simulates successive rounds of darts. Each round you will see three numbers; alongside each number will be either Single, Double, or Treble, representing the scores of three darts. The round score is the total of the three darts, remembering to multiply by two for Doubles and three for Trebles. You subtract the round-score from the game-score, and the cycle repeats. You may play the game against the clock, or practice with no time pressure.

Tungsten Darts keeps score for you: the board, the averages and the statistics fill in while you play. Alone, together on one phone, or online. AUTO-SCORING WITH VISION Prop your phone up in front of the board: its camera reads your darts and fills in the score. Free, no limit. A four-page tutorial walks you through it, and a misread dart is fixed with one tap. The Vision Kit, three cameras around the board, sees every dart, even one hidden behind another. It is an accessory sold separately; the rest of the app and Vision work without it.

UP TO EIGHT PLAYERS Eight players on one phone, or opponents at a distance. Online, everyone sees the others' darts the moment they are thrown, and everyone follows the same score. Quick game against the first player available, public games open to all, or a private room with a four-letter code. Voice chat for up to four during the game, a spectator mode to follow a match live, and the game resumes if someone drops out.
