About

Deuce Tap

Features
Read full description

Deuce Tap is a tennis scoreboard for singles and doubles, kept from your wrist. Two taps score a whole match: your side of the screen for your point, the other side for theirs. Scoring is free and unlimited, always — no match limit, nothing to unlock. The app knows the rules, so nobody on court has to. Afterwards, it works out a report from the points you tapped. SCORING - Tap a side to award the point. Deuce, advantage, tiebreaks, the change of ends and who serves next all follow on their own. - Doubles: four names, the serving order inside each pair chosen at setup, and the name of the partner serving next shown under the ball. - Got one wrong? Undo; Redo puts it back. - Formats: best of three, best of five, one set, Fast4, or a pro set to eight games. No-ad scoring is optional, and always on in Fast4. A deciding set can be a championship tiebreak to ten — or the whole match can. THE MATCH REPORT - Open any match in your History on iPhone and Deuce Tap works out its report. Free for everyone: the result and the sets, total points won on each side, the longest run of points, break points won and saved, a chart of the points-ahead line, and a result card you can share as a picture. - Deuce Tap Pro opens the rest: points won on serve and on return, service games held and broken, deuce games won (or deciding points under no-ad), the longest game and tiebreak, a set-by-set breakdown with holds, breaks and set times, the full momentum chart, and the whole match written out game by game. - All of it is worked out on your iPhone from the points as they were tapped, so Pro opens the full report on every match already in your History — including ones played long before you bought it. - One purchase, not a subscription, and it works with Family Sharing. PLAYERS - Type a name once and Deuce Tap remembers the person. Next match, tap their name at setup and it is the same person, so their matches stay together. Open anyone in People to see how you stand against them — and, in doubles, with them. THE RULEBOOK - The rules of tennis, in the app and offline: scoring a game, sets and formats, serving, the tiebreak, changing ends, doubles, what is in and what is out, playing without an umpire, and a glossary. ON THE APPLE WATCH - The whole match on one screen: two tap zones, the games and Undo — nothing to scroll between points. - Auto-lock stops a sleeve from scoring; a long press still counts a point through the lock, and so does Double Tap on watches that support it (watchOS 11 or later) — the point goes to whoever is serving. - The match runs as a tennis workout, so a wrist raise lands on the score instead of the watch face, and with your permission it is saved to Health with heart rate and active energy. - The watch keeps the score on its own, even with your iPhone switched off, out of range or left at home; the voice, match setup, History and the report belong to the phone. ON THE IPHONE - The iPhone is what says the score out loud, after every point or only at game, set and match, in English or Ukrainian, at a pace meant for a court rather than an audiobook. If you are scoring on the watch, the iPhone has to be with you and in reach of it. - The live score sits on the Lock Screen while you play, and in the Dynamic Island on iPhones that have one. - Finished matches land in History with the score, the winner, the date and how long you played. Score on either device; the two reconcile into one match once they can reach each other. PRIVACY There is no account, no sign-in, and no server of our own. Player names, matches and settings stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch and are not uploaded anywhere. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, nothing sold. The only network the app uses is Apple's own, to sell and restore the purchase. Allow the workout and Health receives it, where your own settings take over. Scoring, History, the report and the rulebook need no network at all. The whole app is in English and Ukrainian.
