Rack 'Em
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rack 'Em keeps score for a night of nine ball so nobody has to argue about it later. Set your lineup, pick a race-to target, and play. Winner stays on, the loser goes to the back of the queue, and the app tracks who breaks next, including the tie case, where whoever potted last takes the break. TWO WAYS TO SCORE Ball tray: tap the ball you potted. Tap it again to mark it dead. The 9 is worth 2 and respots, so it can be scored again and again in the same rack, and a counter shows how many times it has gone down. Basic: plain plus and minus counters, if you would rather not think about which ball it was. Switch between them mid-session; it is one tap in the toolbar. BUILT FOR HOUSE RULES The 9 is worth 2 points. Every other ball is worth 1. A golden break (the 9 on the snap) is worth 4, and the rack plays on. A full rules reference is built into the app, so newcomers to your table can read the house rules instead of asking. FIX MISTAKES WITHOUT STARTING OVER Undo takes back one tap at a time. Finished racks stack up beneath the current one and any of them can be reopened and corrected. Go back a rack entirely if you need to. Nothing is locked in until you save the session. UP TO SIX PLAYERS Add up to six to the queue. Anyone waiting can be tapped in as the challenger. Shuffle the playing order if you want the break decided for you. Regulars are remembered between nights, so the second session takes seconds to set up. LIFETIME STATS Save a session and it joins your record: win rate, racks played, points, average points per rack, and golden breaks, for every player who has ever been at your table. Past sessions stay browsable with their own standings, and any of them can be shared as plain text into a group chat. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-in. No internet connection required, ever. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. Every score is written to your own device and nowhere else. The app works exactly the same in a basement with no signal. DETAILS THAT MATTER AT A TABLE Distinct haptics for a ball, the 9, a golden break, and a mistake, so you can feel that a tap landed without looking. Full VoiceOver support: every ball announces its number, its state, and who potted it, and nothing relies on colour alone. A dark interface that does not blind you in a dim room. Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rack 'Em at none against GRANBOARD's 6. GRANBOARD's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
