Keeping score should not get in the way of the game. Tap the team that scored. The app does the rest. Basketball Score Tracker counts everything for you: one, two and three point baskets, quarters and the final result. Your only job is the fun one, watching the baskets drop. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free to download and fully offline. MADE FOR BASKETBALL Most scoreboards make you do the math. This one knows basketball. Free throws, two and three point baskets and four quarters are all handled for you. Got a call wrong? Undo any tap instantly and the score rolls straight back. BUILT FOR HOW YOU PLAY Set it up the way your group plays and the app follows along: • Four quarters or two halves • One, two and three point scoring • Custom period length • Track two teams or your own lineup Change nothing and the sensible defaults just work. SCORE FROM YOUR WRIST Run the whole match from Apple Watch. Tap the team that scored and the score stays in sync, so you can leave your phone in your bag. A live scoreboard is always a glance away, and your streak sits on the watch face. SEE YOUR GAME IMPROVE Every match is saved on your device. Look back through your results, win streaks and head to head records against your regular opponents, then open the stats behind each match: baskets, scoring runs, results and more. Insights pull every match together so you can watch your form change across the season and spot the patterns behind your best days. YOUR PLAYERS, READY TO GO Save the people and teams you play with most and pick them in a tap when the next match starts. Give everyone a name, keep a roster of regulars, and the app remembers who is who so your history and rivalries stay tidy over time. ACHIEVEMENTS TO CHASE There is always a reason to play one more. Unlock awards as you rack up wins, build streaks and hit milestones, and watch your profile fill in match after match. It turns a casual basketball game into something you want to come back to.
