Easily keep track of points, player positions, and more - all right from your wrist! It's easy as 1-2-3: 1. Set your preferred settings for your pickleball game. You can customize the score at which the game ends, choose from side-out or rally scoring, and more. You only have to do this once, and My Pickleball will remember for future games. 2. Choose your players by saving them through the iPhone app. Players only have to be saved once, and will then be shown alphabetically for your convenience. 3. Start the game! When either team scores a point, select "Point." If either team faults, select "Fault." My Pickleball will keep track of the score in real time so you don't have to! Plus, view player positions at any point throughout the game by simply scrolling down. And there's more! My Pickleball will keep track of your fitness data (keep reading for our Data Privacy Commitment), and you can view all past games right on your phone. My Pickleball also offers insightful stats into your game, such as total wins, how much you've played, total points scored, your pickles, and more. Data Privacy Commitment: My Pickleball takes your data and privacy rights seriously, and we support Apple in their belief that privacy is a fundamental human right. Accordingly, My Pickleball does not collect any data from any device or user, except as required by law. All data, including games, statistics, fitness tracking, and more are kept on-device at all times, meaning that no one, not even My Pickleball, can access them, unless you actively choose to share said data.

Dink Data is a pickleball match & stat tracker built to be used while you play. The score lives on your Apple Watch — two big buttons, one tap per point — and when you dump an easy ball into the net, one tap logs the error and the game moves on. Nobody waits. I built it because playing more wasn't making me better. At rec level, games are decided by unforced errors — points you give away, not points anyone earns. Once you can see that number, practice stops being random. COUNTS AS A WORKOUT • Start a match and your watch records the whole session as a pickleball workout — heart rate, active calories, and Activity rings, rest between matches included. One Health prompt on your iPhone, no separate fitness app to juggle. TRACK WHILE YOU PLAY • Live scoring on Apple Watch: two big buttons sized for sweaty hands • Score and stats on separate screens, one swipe apart • One-tap stat logging with one-tap undo • Works without the phone; everything syncs when you're back THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER • Win rate, record, streaks, and point differential — always with a trend • Unforced errors per game, and whether it's falling • Any window: this month, 30 or 90 days, this year, all time • Custom stats with your own names and icons FIX ANYTHING LATER • Add or edit any stat on any finished match, game by game • Nothing locks when the match ends PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, no Health or location access • Your data stays on your devices and in your iCloud Free for your first 14 days, then a subscription. No app teaches you a third-shot drop - but this one tells you whether it's working. Terms of Use: https://dinkdata.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://dinkdata.app/privacy.html
