Focus on the next rally. Tidy Score makes badminton and table tennis scoring simple, with Apple Watch controls and shared match management across two iPhones. Whether you are practicing, playing with friends, or running a club match, large scores, intuitive controls, and sport-specific cues help everyone follow the game. SCORE FROM APPLE WATCH Start a match on iPhone, then view scores, add points, and make corrections from your paired Apple Watch. Between rallies, a quick tap on your wrist keeps the match moving. BADMINTON SERVICE CUES Keep track of the score with service-position indicators and service-court swap cues. A clear court background helps you follow the match at a glance. A COMPLETE TABLE TENNIS FLOW Set up singles or doubles, follow service rotation, track games, and receive end-change prompts. Score corrections and match results keep the experience organized from the first serve to the final point. CONTROL THE MATCH FROM EITHER IPHONE Connect another nearby iPhone so both people can add points, correct scores, change settings, and start or end matches. Updates sync between the phones, and each person can also score from their own paired Apple Watch. LARGE, CLEAR SCOREBOARDS Use Tidy Score on iPhone or iPad. Choose portrait or landscape layouts, court backgrounds, or a monochrome display to suit your device and courtside setup. SIMPLE CONTROLS, EASY CORRECTIONS Tap to add a point. Depending on the scoring mode, subtract points, correct scores, or undo the previous point when needed. MATCH RESULTS ON BOTH PHONES Save player names, final scores, and individual table tennis game scores. When two iPhones are connected, completed match records sync to the other phone so both people can review the results. KEEP YOUR SCORE WHEN THE CONNECTION DROPS Tidy Score keeps the last synced score, pauses controls, and attempts to reconnect. If reconnection is unavailable, you can choose to continue on your own phone. If both phones were changed while disconnected, choose which match version to keep when reconnecting. CELEBRATE THE FINAL POINT Optional confetti and black-and-white victory effects add a little more excitement to every win. Apple Watch features require a paired iPhone and an active connection. Set up your initial match on iPhone. Standalone offline scoring on Apple Watch is not supported.
