ScoreTap.App

Keep score the way pickleball is actually played — official side-out scoring, called out loud, with no ads and no account needed to score. It also runs a whole open play for you, and pairs with a cheap Bluetooth remote so you never 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 your eyes stay on the court.

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 decide whether a 1-point win ends the game
• Single game, best of 3 or best of 5, with a between-games screen and a set-by-set recap
• 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
• Fully offline for scoring — no connection needed mid-match

RUN AN OPEN PLAY FROM YOUR PHONE
Organise a whole session: set the courts, share a code or QR, and people join in seconds, guests with just a name. The app rotates the courts for you, keeps waiting turns fair and balances games by level, with fixed partners, sit-out and leave. Players submit results, the others confirm them, and everyone sees the games and a live ranking. You also get a ScoreTap rating from your Open Play results. A voice calls the next game. Organisers can keep going without a connection, and everything syncs when they are back online.

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 touching your phone. Open Settings → Bluetooth remote buttons, press Learn, then press the button you want to bind it to Point Blue, Point Green, or Undo. Swipe gestures and keyboard-style clickers work too. (No app on any phone can read volume buttons, so pick a play, next, or previous button.)

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 — using your device's own built-in voices; nothing is downloaded or sent anywhere.

ALSO KEEPS SCORE FOR MORE SPORTS
Pickleball comes first, but the same fast, hands-free scoreboard also runs table tennis, badminton, tennis, padel, squash, volleyball, cornhole, bocce/pétanque and many more, each with its own real scoring versions, not a generic tally. Pick a sport under Settings and it's remembered as your default.

NO ADS, NO TRACKING, NO ACCOUNT TO SCORE
Scoring needs no sign-up, and your sport, rules, remote-button mapping and language stay on your device. Open Play asks guests for a name and organisers to sign in with Apple, a social account or an email code; it stores your name, games and results so the others in the session can see them, and you can delete your account in the app. No ads, no analytics, no third-party tracking — see our privacy policy.

WHO IT'S FOR
Rec players on a public court, organisers running open plays, league players who want an accurate side-out call, and anyone who's ever lost count mid-rally.
