Keep score. Find your form. Play together. Golden Point keeps padel scoring simple on Apple Watch and brings your match history to life on iPhone. KEEP SCORE FROM YOUR WRIST Tap to record a point, use the Digital Crown to correct mistakes, and choose the rules for your game. Golden Point supports golden point, star point and advantage scoring, short and pro sets, and tiebreak formats. The Watch works while your phone is away. YOUR MATCH JOURNAL Review scores, game-by-game progression and recorded pressure points on iPhone. Search your history and add optional notes, venue and player tags after play. Matches saved before format completion count towards your results too. SEE YOUR FORM OVER TIME GP Form is a personal 0–100 index of recent match results, game share and point share. Explore its history and the evidence behind it. It describes your side's recorded performance, not an official skill ranking. A TEAM GAME. YOUR OWN WAY. Follow the partnerships that matter to you. Tag a partner to see your form together, shared milestones and deciding points. Compare two partners and explore your history against regular opponents. If you rotate partners every week, there is no need to tag everyone. Every player tag is optional; untagged matches still count towards overall progress. AUTOMATIC PRIVATE ICLOUD SYNC Your iPhone journal synchronizes through your Apple Account so supported history and annotations can return when you change phones. No separate Golden Point login. Local scoring and history remain available while offline; synchronization resumes when services are available. APPLE HEALTH, WHEN YOU WANT IT Record Watch workouts and explore linked workout and heart-rate information with your permission. Supported native zone summaries appear when they exist. Missing measurements remain unavailable. Health features are optional and do not affect match scoring. Health measurements are read on the device and are not uploaded in Golden Point’s match archive. MADE FOR APPLE WATCH AND IPHONE • Watch-face complication for quick access • Recorded point history with undo and redo • Clear results and progression charts • Optional partner and opponent tagging • Private match journal with user-initiated sharing/export No ads. No third-party tracking. Keep your eyes on the game.
