Keeping score should not get in the way of the game. Tap the scoring play. The app does the rest. Rugby Score Tracker counts everything for you: tries, conversions, penalties, drop goals and halves. Your only job is the fun one, watching the points pile up. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free to download and fully offline. MADE FOR RUGBY Most scoreboards make you do the math. This one knows rugby. Tries and conversions, penalties, drop goals and two halves 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 halves or custom periods • Try then conversion • Penalties and drop goals • 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 each scoring play 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: tries, 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 rugby 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 club days, league fixtures and finals. Everyone in the room follows the same live score, in big clear numbers you can read from across the pitch. 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 pitch. 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 park. Tap. Score. Play.
