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.

Read full description

Run Out is a fast, no-nonsense scoreboard built for pool and billiards — rack after rack, on the rail, one-handed. DRAG TO SCORE Each player gets a full half of the screen. Tap to add or subtract a point, or hold and drag up/down to run the score up quickly between racks. No fumbling with tiny buttons between shots. ANY GAME, YOUR RULES - 8-Ball, 9-Ball, 10-Ball, and Straight Pool - Race-to any number - Alternate or winner breaks, with first-breaker selection - Foul tracking with automatic loss-of-rack handling - Break-and-run counter for every player LIVE MATCH SHARING Tap Share to get a 5-character code and QR. Your opponent scans it to watch live from their own phone — or claims the match to score from their side too, so you're not passing one phone back and forth. Anyone can watch the match update live from a web browser, no app required. BUILT FOR THE TABLE Play in landscape for the classic side-by-side scoreboard, or portrait with scores stacked — whichever fits how you're holding your phone. Pick from multiple scoreboard themes, including a retro LED look. TRACK YOUR GAME Every match is saved to your history. Set a nickname and Run Out tracks your matches played, win rate, racks won, break-and-runs, and longest win streak automatically. Run Out is free to use — no ads interrupting your rack, no paywalls on the scoreboard. Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
