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.
Pool Drill Tracker

You watch the tutorials. You read the Reddit posts. You show up to the table with good intentions. But when you're done playing, you have no idea if you actually got better. Pool Drill Tracker fixes that. Pick a drill, run it, tap your makes and misses, and the app keeps score. Do it again next week and you can see the difference. That's it. No video analysis, no AI, no subscription. Just a dead-simple way to turn random practice into something you can measure. WHAT'S INSIDE - 12 built-in drills across Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced — straight-in pocketing, draw shots, cut angles, banks, position play, and more. - Add your own drills if you practice something specific. - Build multi-drill sessions or start a single drill from the library. - Tap to log each shot — the app counts makes, misses, and tells you if you passed. - Stats that actually matter: sessions per week, accuracy by drill, and your current day streak. WHO THIS IS FOR You play at a bar, a pool hall, or on your home table. You're past the "just hitting balls around" phase and you want structure, but you don't need a $200 coaching app with features you'll never touch. You want to know: am I getting better? This app is your practice notebook — except it does the math for you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app, pick your drills, and hit Begin. 2. Tap Potted or Missed after each shot. 3. When the drill finishes, the app shows your score and whether you passed. 4. Check Stats to see your accuracy trends and practice streak over time. All data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Just you and your table. BUILT BY A PLAYER Pool Drill Tracker was built by a pool player who wanted a simple practice tracker and couldn't find one that wasn't bloated, expensive, or abandoned. This is the app I wanted to exist. Free to download. Free to use.
