How it works

One tap per rally. That's it.

No counting on your fingers, no "wait, what's the score?" between points. WatchStats follows the rules so you can follow the ball.

  1. Pick your game

    Doubles or singles, side-out or rally scoring, games to 11, 15 or 21, and a single game or best of 3 or 5. Start on your watch, or set it up on your iPhone.

  2. Tap whoever won the rally

    Tap the bottom of the screen for your side and the top for theirs, or turn the Digital Crown: down for you, up for them. WatchStats works out points, side-outs and the server number.

  3. Everyone sees the score

    Your iPhone turns into a big scoreboard in portrait or landscape. Stand it by the net and the whole court can read the call, like 4-2-1.

Your way

Watch, iPhone, or both.

One purchase covers both. Score on whichever you have with you, and they stay in step when you use them together.

Apple Watch only

Leave your iPhone in your bag, or at home. The watch runs the whole match on its own, keeps every point and saves the workout to Apple Health. You can even install WatchStats on the watch by itself.

iPhone only

No watch? Tap Start without Watch and score on the big board: tap the side that won each rally. Handy for a ref, a coach, or a phone on a tripod by the net.

Both together

Score on your wrist and the iPhone board follows every point, live. Start a match on either one, and tap or undo on either one: they stay in sync.

Try the call

Pickleball scoring, made obvious.

Tap whoever won each rally on the scoreboard and watch the call update, just like on your wrist. It runs on the same rules as the app.

  • The call is three numbers in doubles: the serving team's score, the receiving team's score, then the server number, like 4-2-1.
  • Only the serving team scores in side-out games. Lose a rally on serve and the serve moves on instead.
  • The first team starts on server 2, so the opening call is 0-0-2 and one lost rally is a side out.
  • Games go to 11, 15 or 21 and have to be won by 2.

Doubles, side-out scoring. The first team starts on server 2, so the opening call is 0-0-2. Tap whoever won each rally.

Features

Questions

Good to know

What is WatchStats?

WatchStats is a pickleball score keeper app for Apple Watch and iPhone, made by theCloudGrid. You tap whoever won each rally (or turn the Digital Crown) and it keeps the score, the server and the call for side-out doubles, singles and rally scoring, with a live scoreboard on your iPhone and every watch match saved to Apple Health.

How does WatchStats keep score?

You tap whoever won each rally, on the watch or the iPhone, or turn the Digital Crown. WatchStats applies the scoring rules for you: points only for the serving team in side-out games, the second server, side outs, game point and win by 2. It shows the call the way you'd say it, like 4-2-1.

Do I need an iPhone, an Apple Watch, or both?

Either, or both. Use it on Apple Watch alone (the watch runs the whole match by itself), on iPhone alone with Start without Watch, or on both together, where the iPhone scoreboard follows your watch live.

Which devices does it work on?

iPhone with iOS 17 or later, and Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later.

Does it do doubles, singles and rally scoring?

Yes. Side-out doubles (with the 0-0-2 start and server numbers), side-out singles, and rally scoring, with games to 11, 15 or 21 and a single game or best of 3 or 5.

Is there a subscription?

No. WatchStats is $1.99 once on the App Store (shown in your local currency). There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no account to make.

Does it save my match as a workout?

Yes. Starting a game on your Apple Watch starts a pickleball workout, so you don't need the Workout app as well. It's saved to Apple Health with heart rate, active calories and time, shows in the Fitness app and counts toward your Activity rings.
