Pickleballscores, kepton your wrist.

Pickleball Score is the scoreboard for Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad and Mac. One tap per rally. The app knows side-out scoring, first and second server and the three-number call, from 0-0-2 to game point, and calls it out loud like a referee.

Features

Built for the court, not the menu.

Big tiles, one tap per point, and the rules handled for you. It looks and feels like the Workout app, because it is one: every match can be saved as a workout.

One tap per point

Two huge tiles, blue for you and orange for your opponent. Tap the side that won the rally, even mid-rally and without looking for long.

Pickleball Score on Apple Watch

Server 1 and 2, always right

Each team has a first and a second server, and every game starts with the second server at 0-0-2. The tile shows the server number.

Calls the score

Calls like a referee: “4, 2, 1”, “Side out”, “Second server”, game point and match point. Optional streak calls go all the way up to "Godlike".

Undo

Wrong side? One tap takes the last point back, as often as you need.

Timeouts

A 60-second timeout per player with a countdown ring, then straight back to the match.

Change ends

The watch taps your wrist when it is time to change ends at 6 in the deciding game.

Pickleball rules in short

How pickleball is scored.

The app knows these rules so you don't have to. Here they are anyway, for the next argument at the kitchen.

0-0-2

Side-out scoring

Only the serving team scores. When it loses a rally the partner serves; after the second server the serve passes over: side out. Every game starts at 0-0-2.

11

Games to 11

A game goes to the first team with 11 points and a lead of two. Games to 15 or 21 are there too, and rally scoring if your league plays it.

4-2-1

The call

The score is called serving team first, then the receivers, then the server number. The app shows it and says it after every rally.

6

Change ends

Teams change ends after every game, and at 6 in the deciding game (8 in games to 15). Your watch taps you on the wrist when it is time.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does side-out scoring work in the app?

Tap the side that won the rally. If the serving team won, it scores. If the receivers won, the serve moves on: to the second server, or after the second server to the other team (side out). The app does the counting.

What does 0-0-2 mean?

It is the score call: serving team's score, receiving team's score, server number. Every doubles game starts at 0-0-2, so the first serving team has only one server. The app shows the call next to the game number on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and the server number on the serving tile.

Do I need my iPhone on court?

No. The Apple Watch app runs on its own. Leave the phone in your bag.

How do I score without touching the screen?

Turn on Gesture Scoring in the watch app's settings. Double Tap (tap index finger and thumb together twice) adds a point for you, and Wrist Flick (turn your wrist away and back quickly) adds one for your opponent. Double Tap needs Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 or newer. Leave gestures off if you wear the watch on your playing arm.

Does the match count as a workout?

On Apple Watch, yes. With Track as workout on, each match is saved to Apple Health as a pickleball workout with duration, heart rate and active calories, and it fills your Activity rings. You can turn it off in the settings.

The workout is not saved. What can I do?

Open the Settings app on your iPhone, go to Health → Data Access & Devices (or Settings → Health → Apps on the watch), select the app and allow it to write workouts, heart rate and active energy.
