Get started
Start in four steps
- Install PadelCounter on the iPad from the App Store, or on the Android tablet from Google Play.
- Open it – the tablet shows the scoreboard right away.
- Tap a team's score card after every rally, or connect a watch or phone: on the iPad, tap the QR button in the bar and scan the code with the iPhone.
- Mount the tablet on the fence, choose your team colours and play.
Setting up the court display
- Mount: a fence or net-post holder at eye level, facing both teams – see the tablet mounts.
- Power: the screen stays bright for the whole match, so bring a power bank for long sessions.
- Sound: pair a Bluetooth speaker so the announcer is heard across the court.
- Club TV: show the live score with the web scoreboard on any screen with a browser.
Connect a watch or phone
On the iPad, tap the QR button in the bar and scan the code with the iPhone (the scanner is in the sharing sheet of the Community tab), or type the key. An Apple Watch connects by Bluetooth – turn Bluetooth on for both. From then on, every point you score on the wrist or the phone appears on the big screen.
Two options keep the board in line with the court: Serving team on the left always shows the serving team's score on the left, and automatic side swap turns the board around at every change of ends.
Android tablets work with the PadelCounter Android app and Wear OS watches.
