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.

Keep score the way pickleball is actually played — official side-out scoring, called out loud, with no ads and no account. Now it also pairs with your Apple watch or a Bluetooth remote, so you never have to touch your phone mid-rally. Pickleball Remote Scoreboard tracks doubles and singles matches the way referees do: serving score, receiving score, and server number for doubles (starting 0-0-2), or a simple two-number call for singles. After every rally, the app speaks the score out loud in your choice of 9 languages, so you can keep your eyes on the court instead of the screen. WHY PICKLEBALL PLAYERS USE IT • Three official scoring versions: traditional side-out, rally scoring (every rally counts), and tournament side-out to 15 • Choose your game length — play to 11, 15, or 21 points • Win-by-2 (hard cap) toggle, so you control whether a 1-point win ends the game • Single game, best of 3, or best of 5 matches, with a between-games screen and a set-by-set recap when it's over • Voice score-calling after every rally, using your device's own text-to-speech — no internet required • One-tap undo if you miscount a rally • Keeps your screen awake for the whole match • A confetti-and-3D winner screen when the match ends • Fully offline after install — no connection needed mid-match SCORE FROM YOUR APPLE WATCH With the app open on your phone, your Apple Watch becomes the remote: two big team buttons showing each side's score, an undo, and a tap to pick who serves first. Every tap buzzes to confirm the point landed, so you can keep your eyes on the court. Between games the watch offers Next game too — no walk back to the phone. SCORE WITHOUT TOUCHING YOUR PHONE Pair the app with an inexpensive Bluetooth remote — the kind sold as a "bike handlebar" music control — or a clicker-style presenter remote, and score a rally without looking at or touching your phone. Open Settings → Remote buttons, press Learn, then press the button you want: one tap binds it to Point Blue, Point Green, or Undo. Swipe gestures and keyboard-style clickers work too. (One hardware limitation applies to every app on every phone, not just this one: volume buttons can never be read by any app, so pick a play, next, or previous button on your remote instead.) HEAR THE CALL IN 9 LANGUAGES Pick your language from the sound button or from Settings: English (US), English (UK), German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, or Vietnamese. The whole app follows — menus, settings and score calls. Score calls use your device's own built-in voices — nothing is downloaded or sent anywhere. Voice availability depends on which voices your device has installed; if a language sounds unavailable, add its voice under Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices. ALSO KEEPS SCORE FOR 16 MORE SPORTS Pickleball comes first, but the same fast, hands-free scoreboard also runs table tennis, badminton, tennis, padel, platform tennis, beach tennis, squash, racquetball, crossminton, volleyball, sepak takraw, roundnet/spikeball, cornhole, foosball, shuffleboard, and bocce/pétanque — each with its own real scoring versions (like table tennis's serve rotation or volleyball's 15-point fifth set), not a generic tally. Pick a sport under Settings and it's remembered as your default the next time you open the app. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING There's nothing to sign up for. Your sport choice, game settings, remote-button mapping, and language preference stay on your device. Pickleball Remote Scoreboard has no ads, no analytics, and no third-party tracking of any kind — see our privacy policy for the details. WHO IT'S FOR Rec players keeping score on a public court, league players who want an accurate side-out call, anyone who wants to referee hands-free from the sideline, and anyone who's ever lost count mid-rally.
