Pickleball Score

Paddlora keeps the score AND tells you who serves next and where everyone stands. In doubles, four people can rarely agree on the score - and almost never on whose serve it is. Paddlora shows the server and the correct court position bigger than the score itself, because that is the part people actually forget. BUILT FOR REAL PICKLEBALL RULES - Side-out scoring done correctly: only the serving team can score - Starts at 0-0-2, and the first service turn of the game is a single turn - Tracks first server, second server and side out - Court sides follow score parity, so you always know who stands where - Three-number score call, exactly how you say it out loud MADE FOR THE COURT - The server's name is the biggest thing on screen - Undo any point, including the one that ends the game - Large, well-separated buttons so a stray tap does not cost you a point - Screen stays awake during play - Play to 11, 15 or 21, win by 2 - Singles and doubles PICKED THE WRONG SETTINGS? QUIT AND RESTART ANYTIME Wrong game length, wrong names - you do not have to finish the match to fix it. Quit mid-game and go straight back to setup for a new one. VOICE CALLS THE SCORE OUT LOUD The score gets called out after every point, in English or Traditional Chinese, so the whole court hears it without anyone leaning in to check the phone. Voice can be turned off, and its language follows your device by default. Playing music over a Bluetooth speaker? It automatically ducks for the call-out and comes right back - the game never fully cuts your music. THE SCORE SURVIVES WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE A call comes in, you switch away to check a message, the battery dies mid-match - Paddlora picks the match back up exactly where it left off. Nothing to recalculate. APPLE WATCH PLAYS THE WHOLE MATCH ON ITS OWN Not a remote for your phone. Leave the phone in the bag - or leave it at home - and the watch alone can add points, undo, and finish an entire match. The score lives on the watch itself, not on a connection that has to stay alive. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. Nothing interrupts a rally. Works fully offline - no signal needed at the courts. English and Traditional Chinese.
