Pongboard: Ping Pong Score

If you have ever stopped mid-rally to ask "whose serve is it?", this is for you.

■ The app does the counting
11 or 21 points, deuce, how many serves are left, when to change ends — all of it is worked out
for you, including the change of ends at 5 points in the last game.

■ Big enough to read across the table
Two players look at one screen from opposite ends. The game score sits in the middle and the
serve marker is a large pill with the word on it, so a glance from the far side is enough.

■ A wrong tap is not a problem
Undo works even after a game has ended. If you tapped wrong several times, open the menu and
set the score directly. That correction can be undone too.

■ Pick the look of the scoreboard
Flip cards, an umpire's card, or an LED board — choose the skin in Settings. The classic table view
gives each player a colour, and the colour follows the player when you change ends.

■ Screen clone — the same board on another device
On the same Wi-Fi, this scoreboard appears on another device exactly as it is. Count at the
umpire's table and let people watch the same screen on their own phone. The sending side shows a
three-letter code and the watching side picks that code from a list.
No accounts, no pairing, and one viewer or twenty makes no difference to the sender.
(Some venue networks block device-to-device traffic, and then it will not show up.)

■ Made for landscape
Pongboard always runs sideways, so the numbers can be big and the phone stands neatly next to the
table. Tablets too.

■ Nothing covers the scoreboard
The scoring screen carries no banner. Ads live on the home screen instead.

■ Rename the players
Change names in the middle of a match. Leave a name empty to go back to the default.

12 languages, switchable inside the app at any time.

Recent changes:
New scoreboard skins: flip cards, an umpire's card and an LED board — pick one in Settings.
Pongboard now runs in landscape only, with a roomier home screen.
