Key Features
๐ฏ Every Sport, Scored Right
Table tennis to 11 or 21, tennis, padel and squash, each with its own rules: deuce and
advantage or golden point, a tiebreak at 6-6, rally scoring for squash, Win-by-2, and
automatic serve tracking. Play best of 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 sets.
โ Hold to Score
Touch and hold a side of the scoreboard for one second to give that player the point. A
ring fills under your finger with the player's name, so you always know who is getting it,
and stray taps never change the score. Undo and redo any point.
๐ Match History
Every point of the match with its time, grouped by set, and the results of every match you
have played: winner, loser and how each set ended (e.g. 6โ4 3โ6 6โ2). Tap the score at the
top of the scoreboard to open it.
๐ Voice Announcements
The game score is called at the end of every game, and the winner's name at the end of the
match, so you can follow the match without looking at the screen. Choose from all English
voices, or mute each device on its own.
๐๏ธ Siri, Shortcuts & Action Button
Keep your hands on the racquet: "Point for Vlad in vScoreBoard", "Undo the last point in
vScoreBoard", "What's the score in vScoreBoard". The same actions work in Shortcuts,
Spotlight and on the iPhone Action button.
๐ฑ Live Activity
On iPhone the score stays on the Lock Screen, in StandBy and in the Dynamic Island while a
match is on, and the result stays up for 30 minutes after it ends.
๐ป Mac Menu Bar & Keyboard
The live score sits in the menu bar, with a panel to score, undo and open the history.
Score with โ1 and โ2, undo with โZ, and open the match history with โY.
๐ก Peer-to-Peer Connectivity
Connect an iPhone to an Apple TV or iPad to use as a remote control. Host the scoreboard on
a large display and control it from your phone. The score and the match history stay in
step on every device, over local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with no internet connection required.
โ๏ธ Customizable Settings
Choose the sport, goal score, match length, advantage or golden point, player names and
voice. Your settings and the match in progress are kept when you close the app.
What's New in 1.1
Released October 25, 2026
๐ฏ Scoring
- Tennis and padel are scored properly: games, deuce and advantage, sets, a tiebreak at 6-6 and the end of the match. The score no longer gets stuck at 40.
- Golden point: turn off "Advantage at Deuce" and the next point at 40-40 wins the game.
- Squash uses rally scoring to 11, and the rally winner serves.
- Table tennis honours the Win by 2 setting, and whoever served first in a game receives first in the next one. A goal of 21 switches the serve to every 5 points.
- Changing the sport applies that sport's rules and starts a new match.
- The end of the match is worked out from the score, so it stays right after an undo, a change of match length or a score from another device. Making a finished match longer carries on with a new set.
- Undo and redo. Swap Sides keeps the players, the score and the history together.
- Player names can only be changed before the first point, so the history shows who actually played.
โ Scoreboard
- Hold a side for 1 second to score. A ring fills under your finger with the player's name. Quick taps and cancelled holds don't score. VoiceOver can score directly, and Apple TV keeps a simple click.
- An undo button on the scoreboard.
- A games counter next to the sets for tennis and padel, and a trophy for the winner.
- Two-character scores such as "15", "Ad" and "10" are drawn smaller, so they no longer overlap the score at the top.
- Liquid Glass buttons on iOS, macOS and tvOS 26 and later.
- The match rules, player names and mute setting are now kept between launches, and the settings have clearer "Best of" and "Advantage at Deuce" options.
๐ Match History
- Tap the score at the top of the scoreboard, or open Settings > All Matches.
- This Match: every point with its time, grouped by set, with the points that won a game, set or match marked.
- All Matches: the winner, the loser and the final score with each set, newest first, plus matches that were stopped before the end. Swipe to delete.
- Saved on your device, and kept the same on every connected device.
๐๏ธ Siri, Shortcuts & Action Button
- Score a Point, Undo Last Point, Get the Score and Start a New Match, with phrases such as "Point for Vlad in vScoreBoard" and "Start a new match in vScoreBoard".
- Available in Siri, the Shortcuts app and Spotlight, on the iPhone Action button, and in Shortcuts on the Mac.
- Siri answers with the score in words, e.g. "Vlad 30, Alex 15. Games 4โ3, sets 1โ0", and asks before ending a match that is being played.
- The current match carries on after the app was closed, so a point scored by voice always lands in the right match.
๐ฑ Live Activity (iPhone)
- The score on the Lock Screen, in StandBy and in the Dynamic Island while a match is on.
- The result stays up for 30 minutes after the match.
- On iOS 27 the compact Dynamic Island shows just the points when space is tight.
- Score only, with no buttons, so a stray tap can't change the score.
๐ป Mac
- A Match menu: a point for each player (โ1, โ2), Swap Sides, Reset Match and Match History (โY). Settings with โ, and Undo Point / Redo Point with โZ and โงโZ.
- The live score in the menu bar, with a panel to score, undo and open the scoreboard, the history or the settings. On macOS 27 it works like the system's own menu bar items, including keyboard navigation.
- One scoreboard window. Closing it keeps the score in the menu bar.
- The title bar and toolbar are one row over the scoreboard, so the black board fills the whole window, with undo next to the window buttons and settings on the right.
- Settings in a grouped sheet, sized to fit.
๐ Voice
- Calls only the game score when a game ends, and the winner's name at the end of the match, instead of every point.
- Other audio is lowered only while speaking, and a new call replaces one that is still playing.
๐ก Multi-Device
- The match history is synced. After the first sync only the new points are sent, and a device that falls out of step catches up on its own.
- Undo from a connected iPhone or iPad (when the host also runs 1.1).
- Mute is per device, so a phone used as a remote can stay quiet.
- Joining a match no longer announces an old result, a reset from a connected device no longer leaves the host stuck, and turning off Host Match disconnects everyone.
๐ ๏ธ Fixes
- Announcements no longer hold up the scoreboard.
- No focus ring around the score on the Mac.
- Very long device names are shortened to fit, instead of causing trouble when connecting.
- Clearer Bluetooth permission text.
