Keeping score should not get in the way of the game. Tap to add a point for either side. The app does the rest. Universal Score Tracker counts everything for you: the running total for every side, up to a target or open ended. Your only job is the fun one, watching the score climb. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free to download and fully offline. MADE FOR ANY SPORT Most scoreboards make you do the math. This one knows any sport. Two to ten sides, a target score or an open ended count and quick relabelling 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: • Two to ten sides or teams • Play to a target or keep it open • Name every side your way • Add or take away a point in a tap Change nothing and the sensible defaults just work. SCORE FROM YOUR WRIST Run the whole match from Apple Watch. Tap a point for either side 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: points scored, 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 any sport game into something you want to come back to. PUT IT ON THE BIG SCREEN Send a full screen scoreboard to any TV with AirPlay for tournaments, club nights and finals. Everyone in the room follows the same live score, in big clear numbers you can read from across the game. SHARE THE MOMENT LIVE Share a match so friends and family can follow the score live from their own phone, wherever they are. Hand scoring to a partner, let someone referee, or just let the group watch along, and everyone stays on exactly the same score. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN While a match is on, the score sits right on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, so a quick glance is all it takes. No unlocking, no digging through the app, the current score is always one look away. ALWAYS A GLANCE AWAY Home and lock screen widgets keep your record and current streak in view, complications put it on your Apple Watch face, and a Siri shortcut starts a match the moment you reach the game. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Everything stays on your device. No sign up, no account, no ads, no data collection. Play offline anywhere, from the club to the back garden. Tap. Score. Play.

Rally keeps score on your Apple Watch. One tap per point, and it counts the games, sets and tiebreaks and knows who serves from which side. Built in for padel, tennis, pickleball, table tennis, badminton, squash and volleyball, plus custom scoring. Nobody loses count and nobody argues. One tap per point - Tap your side or theirs. A haptic confirms each point, so your eyes stay on the game. - Your iPhone can stay in the bag: the watch scores on its own and saves every point, so a restart picks up where you were. - A ball on the score marks who serves and from which side, and in side-out pickleball doubles, server 1 or 2. - Playing the official deciding point? Turn on side choice, and Rally asks which side the receivers pick. - A wrong tap is one tap on the undo arrow, mirrored for either wrist. - Stray taps? Switch score entry to Hold, and a point counts only after a short press. Every sport, its own rules - Padel: doubles or singles; golden, silver or star point, or advantage; best of 3 or 5, one set, or two sets and a super tiebreak. - Tennis: singles or doubles, one set or best of 3 or 5, full final set or match tiebreak, advantage or no-ad. - Pickleball: games to 11, 15 or 21, side-out or rally scoring, one game or best of 3. - Table tennis: one game, or best of 3, 5 or 7. - Badminton: games to 21 or 15, one game or best of 3. - Squash: best of 3 or 5. - Volleyball: indoor or beach, one set or best of 3 or 5, sets to 25, 21 or 15. - Custom: points to any score, or games and sets like tennis, saved under a name you choose. - Set a sport up once and every new match starts from its rules, on both devices. Your iPhone or iPad is the scoreboard - On iPhone, the Board mirrors the watch courtside, point by point, in big numbers, and keeps the screen awake. - Your own view, or a neutral Team A and Team B view for spectators. Add players and it names who serves. - No Apple Watch? Score on iPhone or iPad with the same rules and undo. It even shows when to switch sides. Share the score live (Rally Pro) - Friends follow live with a 6-digit code in Rally on iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, or with a link in any browser. Followers never pay and never need an account. - Start sharing on the phone or right on the watch, which can send the score over its own Wi-Fi or cellular. - Players who followed can save the finished match to their own History. History and stats - Every match stays on your device, set by set, with points won on serve and return. - Rally Pro adds stats over all your matches: record, form, streaks, head-to-head, partners and more. Counts as a workout - With your permission, each match on Apple Watch becomes a workout in Apple Health with heart rate and calories, and counts toward your Activity rings. - Padel logs as tennis by default, as Apple Health has no padel type. - Already running a workout in another app? Rally keeps score without starting a second one. Your data stays yours - No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. - History stays on your device. Heart rate and calories never leave your watch and iPhone. - Scoring needs no internet: your watch and iPhone talk directly. Sharing puts only that match online, player names included, and it is deleted within a day of its end. Free and Rally Pro - Free: every sport and rule, scoring on watch and phone, the Board, workouts, following shared matches, 5 matches a month across watch and phone, and 30 days of history. The count starts over on the 1st, and older matches stay on your device. - Rally Pro: unlimited matches and history, live sharing and stats. Yearly with a free trial, monthly, or a one-time purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
