Sport Score Tracker

Keeping score shouldn't be a second job. Tap who won the point. That's the whole job. Sport Score Tracker does the counting for you: games, sets, deuce, golden point, tiebreaks, serve, periods, innings, holes and legs, all the way to match point. Padel first, and built for 18 sports. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free to download and fully offline. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most scoreboards make you do the math. This one doesn't. A rules engine knows how every sport is scored, so your only decision mid-match is the fun one: who won that point? Golden point, deuce, tiebreaks, side-outs, closeouts and darts busts are all handled for you. Tapped the wrong side? Undo it instantly. 18 SPORTS, ONE APP • Racquet and paddle: Padel, Tennis, Pickleball, Badminton, Table Tennis (ping pong), Squash, Racquetball • Team and net: Soccer, Football, Rugby, Basketball, Hockey, Volleyball • Bat and ball: Baseball, and Cricket with per-ball scoring, overs and two innings • Golf: stroke play and match play, for 2 to 4 players • Darts: 501 and 301 countdown, doubles, checkouts and legs • Universal Scoreboard: count any game or contest, up to 10 sides YOUR MATCH, YOUR RULES Play it the way your group plays. Pick golden point or advantage scoring for padel and tennis, set how many games and sets decide the match, turn tiebreaks on or off, and let the app follow serve and rotation for you. Squash, badminton, table tennis and racquetball each keep their own scoring, and volleyball runs on rally points. Change nothing and the sensible defaults just work. ON YOUR WRIST Score the whole match from Apple Watch, with the same rules for all 18 sports. Complications drop you straight back into a live match, and your watch and phone stay in sync. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity keeps the score on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can check it without unlocking. Widgets put your streak and record one glance away. STATS THAT GO DEEPER See every match play by play: win record, current and best streaks, recent form, and per-sport breakdowns in the Insights tab. Scoring is saved as events, so these stats reach back through every match you have ever logged. WORKOUTS AND HEALTH (opt in) Wear your Apple Watch and the app records a workout for the match, then reads your heart rate and calories into a summary. Switch it on once in Settings. LET FRIENDS WATCH LIVE Share a live match so friends follow the score in real time, over SharePlay on a FaceTime call or to anyone nearby, with no internet needed. Referee mode lets one person score while the match saves to each player's own record. A SCOREBOARD FOR THE ROOM Connect to a TV or projector over AirPlay for a big, clean scoreboard. Made for club nights, tournaments and finals. MADE FOR EVERY GAME A padel or tennis club player tracking a ladder. A pickleball or badminton group at open play. A referee or umpire running a match. A coach checking form, a parent on the sideline, or a pub team counting darts legs, then let everyone follow along on the big screen. HANDS FREE Start a match with Siri and App Shortcuts. WHAT YOU GET • Free to download, with no ads • Fully offline, so nothing leaves your device • No account and no sign up • One tap scoring across all 18 sports • Apple Watch, Lock Screen widgets and Siri Settle a padel match, umpire a tennis tiebreak, keep the darts legs going, or run a full cricket innings. Sport Score Tracker keeps the score so you can keep playing. Download free and start your 3 day trial. PRO SUBSCRIPTION Start with a 3 day free trial, then unlock the full app with Pro: unlimited scoring for 18 sports, your full history, deep stats, Insights, live sharing and workouts.
