Read full description

Keep score for any game in one tap. Scoreboard turns your phone into a big, readable score sheet for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, tennis, ping pong, soccer, football, golf, bowling, darts, cornhole and card games — no setup, no account, no internet needed. TAP TO SCORE Each player or team gets a full-bleed colored block. Tap to add a point, hold for a quick-add of any amount. The numbers are large enough to read from the sideline, the bench, or across the table. BUILT FOR REAL RULES Every sport ships with the right scoring rules already loaded: win targets, points per tap, period counts and a game clock where the clock is the point. Pick a preset in setup or override it — the board plays by whatever you choose. UNDO ANYTHING Miscounted? Every point is reversible. Unlimited undo with a running count, so a bad call never ends the game. 2 TO MANY PLAYERS Two, three or four players each get their own colored half or quarter of the screen. Five or more switch to a clean ranked list. Great for card nights, board games, tournaments and league play. CALL THE GAME Blow the whistle to end a match early, or let the win target trigger the winner overlay automatically — confetti included. MATCH HISTORY & STATS Every finished game is saved. See total games, wins, your current streak and your top sport at a glance, then scroll back through past results. DESIGNED TO BE SEEN High-contrast type, bold color blocks and haptic feedback on every tap. Works in portrait or landscape, on iPhone and iPad. SPORTS AND GAMES INCLUDED Basketball, Soccer, Pickleball, Tennis, Volleyball, Ping Pong, Football, Cornhole, Golf, Bowling, Darts, and a generic Cards mode that counts anything. WORKS OFFLINE Everything runs on your device. No sign-up, no ads interrupting a match, no signal required in the gym.
