Features
Everything a match needs, on your wrist.
Tap Anywhere
Score without aiming: 1 tap for Team 1, 2 taps for Team 2, 3 taps to undo.
Digital Crown & Action Button
Turn the Crown one way or the other to score, or press the Action Button on Apple Watch Ultra.
G-Guard
Ignores taps and Crown turns while your arm is moving, so a swing never scores by accident.
Serve & sides
Serve Pick asks who serves at the start; the watch marks the server and reminds you when to change ends.
Workouts in Apple Health
Every match records a workout with heart rate, calories, steps and distance and fills your activity rings.
Score on wrist down
With your wrist down, the dimmed screen keeps the points, games and server – and a tap still scores.
Announcer & sounds
The score called through a Bluetooth speaker, plus 21 sounds like applause and “Vamos!” on the page above the score.
Stats during the match
Momentum, points won, streaks, breaks and golden points on the page above the score.

FAQ
Apple Watch questions
Can my phone stay in the bag?
Yes. You score on the watch, and the iPhone can stay in your bag. Watch and iPhone share settings, names and matches by themselves.
Which Apple Watch do I need?
Any Apple Watch with watchOS 10.4 or later. Scoring with the Action Button needs an Apple Watch Ultra.
How do I stop scoring by accident while I play?
Turn on G-Guard: it ignores taps, undo and Crown turns while your arm is moving. Tap Anywhere also helps, because you don't have to hit a button.
Does it track heart rate and calories?
Yes. Every match scored on the watch records a workout in Apple Health with heart rate, calories, steps and distance, and it can go to Strava.
Is the Apple Watch app free?
Scoring with the touch buttons and Tap Anywhere is free. Pro adds the Digital Crown and Action Button, G-Guard, Golden and Star Point, the announcer, timers and full statistics; new players get a free trial.
