I started playing pool in 2019 and it was love at first shot. For years I kept score the way everybody does, if I remembered. Then someone would ask how I'd been playing lately and I'd say "pretty good, I think." Pretty good, I think. That's the part that bugged me. I could tell you the exact 8-ball I hung in the corner last Tuesday. I couldn't tell you whether I actually win more when I break. So I built this. WHAT IT SCORES 8-Ball · 9-Ball · 10-Ball · One Pocket · Straight Pool (14.1) · APA Masters Plus APA handicap targets for 8-ball and 9-ball, and USAPL points for 8-ball. Two taps if you only care who won. Ball by ball if you want the whole story. Your call, every match. WHAT IT TELLS YOU This is the part I actually wanted. Not a wall of charts you have to interpret yourself — cards that say something. "You're winning on the break and losing on the receive." Then the number behind it, so you can decide whether to believe it. PLAYING ALONE Straight pool has a solo mode. No opponent, no win, no loss — just you, a rack, and a high run to beat. Turns out that's how most of my practice actually happens. ALSO IN HERE Cloud sync across your devices. Head-to-head records with anyone you play often. Venue and table-size splits, because some rooms just suit you better. Four felt themes, dark by default. One-time unlock. No subscription, ever. 15 days free to see if it's for you.
