In offline mode, your iPhone acts as the scoreboard itself. Assign points with a button press or intuitive swipe controls (swipe up/down for points, sideways for undo). The complete match history is saved automatically. Game Modes – Your Rules Choose from several preconfigured game modes: • With advantage + tiebreak (classic padel) • No advantage / Golden Point • Short sets • Best of 1, 3, or 5 sets • Create custom game modes and sync with the server, or use them offline Statistics & Match History Keep track of all matches played.
