Hoop Counter is a fast, focused basketball stat tracking app for parents, friends, coaches, and scouts who want to capture game stats from the sideline without distraction. Tap to track in real time, chart every shot on the court, then get back to watching the game. Built for Focus Hoop Counter is built for live play. Every tap records a stat instantly, on one uncluttered screen that follows a player’s performance through the game. There are no rosters or lineups to manage, so you stay present and still capture the stats that matter. New: Shot Charts and Zone Stats Switch a game from Count to Chart, tap the court where the shot was taken, then Make or Miss. Hoop Counter works out the 2s and 3s and keeps the same totals. Stats then show where the points come from: a shot chart for every game, and shooting by zone, from the rim to the corner three, for a game, a season, or a career. Prefer simple counting? Count works exactly as before, and you can switch a game between Count and Chart at any time. One Card to Share Stats opens with a Share Card: the key numbers, the result, and the shot chart in one image, ready to text or email. Send the card, the full stats text, or both. Highlights • Clean, modern interface built for one-handed sideline use • Start a game and go straight to tracking • Shot charts: tap the court to log where each shot was taken • Shooting by zone for a game, a season, or a career • Share Card with the key numbers and the shot chart • Fast stat corrections • Optional Game Switcher to move between games from the capture screen • Separate Player, Season, and Team organization • Dynamic filtering across stats • Automatic pre-fill for new games • Game, season, and career reports with easy sharing • Flexible custom stat fields • AI-powered game summaries, written right onto the Share Card (Requires Apple Intelligence and iOS 26.4 or later) Free and PRO Access The free version allows tracking up to 10 games. Unlimited game tracking is available with a one-time PRO purchase. Shot charts, zone stats, and the Share Card are included in every game, free or PRO. For Existing PRO Purchasers If you previously purchased unlimited lifetime access, your purchase will automatically restore after updating to Version 3.

Elevate's advantage is ratings volume (119 vs 21) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
