Tungsten Darts keeps score for you: the board, the averages and the statistics fill in while you play. Alone, together on one phone, or online. AUTO-SCORING WITH VISION Prop your phone up in front of the board: its camera reads your darts and fills in the score. Free, no limit. A four-page tutorial walks you through it, and a misread dart is fixed with one tap. The Vision Kit, three cameras around the board, sees every dart, even one hidden behind another. It is an accessory sold separately; the rest of the app and Vision work without it. TEN GAME MODES โข X01, from 101 to 701, optional double out, with checkout assistant โข Cricket, and its Super Cricket option on all 21 targets โข Shanghai, one number per round, and the combo that wins on the spot โข Around the Clock, the numbers in order โข Killer, your own number and your lives โข Survivor, defend your numbers and take the others' โข Bob's 27, the doubles in order, from D1 to the bull โข Sudden Death, the lowest score of the round loses a life โข Bullseye, the distance to the centre decides (with Vision) โข Hunter, climb from zero to the target and send the others back to zero Every mode explains its rules in the app, and you can play in teams. UP TO EIGHT PLAYERS Eight players on one phone, or opponents at a distance. Online, everyone sees the others' darts the moment they are thrown, and everyone follows the same score. Quick game against the first player available, public games open to all, or a private room with a four-letter code. Voice chat for up to four during the game, a spectator mode to follow a match live, and the game resumes if someone drops out. SIX AI LEVELS From beginner to professional, plus an AI that matches your level. To practise alone, or to fill a table. YOUR STATISTICS Average, first nine, checkout percentage, best finishes, winning streaks, full history turn by turn. Everything is calculated during the game. FRIENDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS A friend code to find your partners, invitations to play, leaderboards among friends and 129 achievements to unlock, from your first game to the ones nobody gets. FREE AND AD-FREE Every mode, the statistics, online play, voice chat and Vision are free. No ads, no subscription. If you like the app, a tip jar in the settings lets you buy us a coffee. Seventeen languages. Local play also works offline. Designed in France, support by email.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PlayDarts at none against Tungsten Darts's 3. Tungsten Darts's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
