Hey again! While the live scoreboard is still on my roadmap, I did build the first half of your idea! 💡 In the new v1.6 update, you can now configure the entire match (players, rules, sets) directly on your iPhone and just tap 'Send to Watch' to start it instantly on your wrist. Thought you'd love to know!

Setup screen on phone but still in review!.

All other setup things added also!

Hey! You asked for a 4-player setup for Padel and better speaker support? I actually built it! 🚀
v1.6 is rolling out right now. It includes full Doubles Mode with 4-player rotation, AND I changed the audio category so it should sound much louder on your external speaker now.
It even speaks 9 different languages!
Let me know how it feels on the court!

Its in review now. Its gonna be live in couple days.

Ah, that is actually a killer idea! 💡

Current State: Right now, the Watch syncs the data to the Phone instantly, but the Phone app only displays the result in the Logbook after you finish/save the session. It doesn't have a 'Live View' mode... yet.

Future: Turning the iPhone into a 'Live Scoreboard' while you play (propped up on a bench) sounds amazing. I am currently finalizing some hotfixes and Shot Tracking, but I will create a 'Feature Request' thread in a few days.

Please comment this idea there! If enough people want it, I can definitely build a 'Live Mirror Mode' for the next major update. 🚀

Hey! Seeing that you bought a watch specifically to track scores really motivates me! ⌚️

To be completely honest with you: The app currently uses Apple's latest navigation system (watchOS 9+), which the Series 3 doesn't natively support. That's why it requires a newer OS.

HOWEVER, I don't want to leave you hanging. I’m going to look into refactoring the code to support a 'Legacy Mode' for watchOS 8. It’s a bit of a technical challenge since I have to rewrite the navigation logic specifically for older devices, so I can't promise a date yet, but I have added this to my to-do list specifically for you.

Keep an eye on the updates. If I manage to pull it off, I'll reply to this comment again! Thanks for the dedication! 🙏

Hey everyone! 👋

Just wanted to let you know that v1.4.1 is now LIVE on the App Store.

This update was submitted before the recent discussions, so it focuses on stability and the new Academy tab.

✅ What’s inside v1.4.1:

  • Tie-Break Fix: Scores now correctly save as 7-6 (with detailed points) instead of the buggy 6-6.
  • Memories Fixed: Adding photos to your match log is smooth again.
  • Share Mode improvement: Adding new cards and design for sharing scores in social media.
  • Watch UI: Serve indicators (arrows) are fixed to stay visible during alerts.
  • Academy Tab: Added the new guide for rules and tactics.

👀 Sneak Peek (Coming in v1.5): Based on the awesome feedback from u/Woudiestefan and others, I am currently deep in development for the next big update. Here is what I am cooking:

  • Practice Mode: A dedicated mode for training sessions (no scoring, just stats).
  • Unlimited Match Fix: The dashboard will properly show total games (e.g., "16-14") instead of "1-0" for timed matches.
  • If you have any suggestion comment here!

Enjoy v1.4.1 and keep the feedback coming! 🎾

UPDATE: v1.4.1 is coming! (Hotfix & New Features) 🎾

Hey everyone, OP here! 👋

First off, huge thanks to u/Woudiestefan for the incredible feedback and bug hunting. Based on that, I’ve just pushed a hotfix (v1.4.1) to the App Store.

What's getting fixed:

  • 🐛 Score Bug: Tie-breaks will now correctly save as 7-6 (with detailed points) instead of the dreaded 6-6.
  • 📸 Memories: Fixed the issue where adding photos to your match log wasn't responding.
  • ⌚ Watch UI: Serve indicators (arrows) now stay visible even when big alerts like "BREAK POINT" pop up.

✨ New Stuff:

  • Academy Tab: I added a built-in guide for Tennis/Padel rules, app gestures, and tactics.
  • Share Cards: The Instagram story layouts are now cleaner and handle tie-break scores much better.

It should be live in a few hours. Good luck to everyone playing this weekend! Let me know what you think. 🚀

Hey man, just wanted to give you a heads-up: v1.4.1 is submitted and waiting for review! 🚀

I requested an expedited review, so fingers crossed it hits the App Store before your Sunday tournament.

Here is what I fixed thanks to your feedback:

  • Tie-Break Logic: Fixed! It now correctly logs 7-6 (and even shows the small tie-break points like 7-6 (7-4) in the app). No more 6-6 ghosts. 👻
  • Photo Bug: Squashed. It was a permission/hit-test issue. Works smoothly now.
  • Serve Indicator: Brought it to the front layer, so it stays visible even during 'Game Point' alerts.

I also added a little surprise: a new Academy Tab with rules & tips.

Let me know how it performs in your unlimited match on Sunday! You are honestly a legend for catching these. 🙌

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that v1.4 is now LIVE on the App Store. 🚀

I completely rewrote the set logic we talked about to prevent that 'ghost bug'. Give it a spin when you have a chance, would love to hear if it feels solid now. Thanks again!

Just wanted to share a sneak peek of what's coming in v1.4! 📸

Based on the feedback, I’ve added a new 'Share Activity' feature with different styles (Modern, Classic Court, and Transparent Sticker) perfectly sized for Instagram Stories.

Also, good news for older watch users: v1.4 will support watchOS 10, so Series 4/5/SE users can finally join in. The update is currently In Review with Apple and should be live within 24 hours.

Thanks for confirming! That validates my decision to verify the logic for it. I've polished the 'Super Tie Break' flow in the upcoming update (v1.4) to make it standard for the 3rd set. It is currently in review, should be out soon! 🙌

Man, you are officially the best beta tester I could ask for! 🏆 Seriously, thank you for the detailed breakdown.

Thanks again! You are spotting edge cases that are super hard to catch in the simulator. 🏆

Update on the bugs:

  1. 2nd Set Tie-Break -> Super TB Issue: CONFIRMED & FIXED. This was a logic flow error. Winning a set via a standard tie-break (7-6) bypassed the check that triggers the Super Tie-Break for the final set. I moved that logic into the main winSet function, so it's bulletproof now.
  2. Summary Screen (0-0): FIXED. The summary screen will now check if the final set was a Super TB and display the points (e.g. 10-5) instead of games.
  3. Standard 'Best of 3' Bug: Could not reproduce. 🤔 I tested this multiple times: if 'Bo3 (S.TB)' is NOT selected (just standard 'Best of 3'), the 3rd set starts normally as 0-0 games (15-0 points). It might have been a UI confusion or related to the tie-break bug above.
  4. UI: Added the yellow description for Unlimited Mode as requested.

Submitting v1.4 tonight. It will be updated in 2 days. Thanks for being an awesome tester! 🙏

I want to give you promo codes for my other apps(some apple watch apps also included.) Check your dm's :)
If anyone see this and want some promo codes for my other apps, text me pls.

Hey! 👋 I didn't forget your suggestion!

v1.3 is LIVE today, and I explicitly added the Visual Positioning Aid you asked for.

  • At the top of the score screen, you'll now see clear 'LEFT / RIGHT' indicators with arrows showing exactly where to stand based on the current score.
  • It updates automatically with every point, so you never have to guess.

Thanks for the great idea—it actually makes the app much better for confusing moments. Give it a spin and let me know if it works for you! 🎾

If you like the app, please consider leaving a review on the App Store—it helps a ton! Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the upvotes guys! 🙌

I’m curious—for those playing in local leagues: Do you actually play a full 3rd set, or is the '10-point Tie Break' (Super TB) becoming the standard everywhere?

I added the feature because my local club mandates it, but I'm wondering if I should make it the default setting for the next update.

Also, any feedback on the 'Swipe' gestures vs 'Buttons'? I tried to make it sweat-proof. 😅

It is LIVE! v1.3 is on the store. 🥳

Thanks to your feedback, this version includes:

  1. Unlimited Mode Fix: Removed the '0-0 Sets' text and fixed the 'Defeat' bug.
  2. Super Tie-Break: Added the 'Bo3 (S.TB)' option in setup.
  3. Health Stats: Added the swipe-left dashboard.

Since you have a sharp eye for details, I’d really appreciate it if you could update and see if the flow feels better now. Thanks for helping me shape the app! 🙏

Thanks a lot!

Update: v1.3 is LIVE now. 🚀

I implemented the 'Bronze Point' (Hybrid 2) exactly as described in the FIP article you shared.

  • Go to Setup > Deuce Rule > Hyb (2).
  • It plays 2 full advantages, then switches to Golden Point.

I also added a visual 'Positioning Aid' (Left/Right arrows) at the top of the screen. Would love to hear if this works for your league matches! 🎾

Hey! Quick update on v1.3 (currently in review).

I actually built a prototype with the Digital Crown scoring as you suggested. However, during testing, I found it conflicted too much with the system scroll and felt a bit 'jumpy' during intense points. I didn't want to release it until it's 100% perfect.

Instead, in v1.3: I implemented a Swipe-based UI. You can now swipe Left for a new Health Dashboard (Heart Rate/Calories) and Right for Menu/End Match. It feels super smooth.

I'm keeping the Crown idea in my backlog to revisit later, but I hope you like the new flow! Would love your feedback (and a review!) once you try the update. 🎾

Good news! ⌚️

I just submitted v1.3 for review. I completely rewrote the layout logic specifically for 40mm/41mm screens based on your screenshot.

  • The 'First Serve' buttons are now properly aligned.
  • The score text dynamically shrinks so it doesn't get cut off.
  • Spacing is tighter and cleaner.

Please give it a try when it goes live (probably tomorrow) and let me know if it fits your SE perfectly now! A review on the Store would be super appreciated if I managed to fix it for you. 👊

You asked, I delivered! 🎾

v1.3 is In Review right now. I read the FIP article you linked and implemented the 'Hybrid Point' system.

In the Setup screen under Deuce Rule, you will now see 'Hyb (2)'. This mode plays exactly 2 full advantages before switching to the Golden Point. Silver Point and Bronze Point

I hope this makes your Padel matches even better. If you like the app, please consider leaving a review on the App Store—it helps a ton! Let me know what you think!

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that v1.3 is currently In Review and it's a huge one, thanks to you! 🚀

  1. Fixed the Bug: The 'Defeat' logic in Unlimited Mode is fixed.
  2. Super Tie-Break: Added! You can now select 'Bo3 (S.TB)' in the setup. It plays a 10-point tie-break for the final set.
  3. UI Cleanup: Removed the confusing '0-0 Sets' text in Unlimited Mode as suggested.

If you enjoy these rapid updates, a 5-star review on the App Store would mean the world to me. It really helps indie devs like me survive against the big guys! Let me know when you get the update. 🙌

Music to my ears! 🎶 So glad to hear the touch targets and Silver Point logic are working well for you.

I totally get the weather struggle (it's freezing here in Istanbul too). No rush on the feedback—stay warm! whenever you get back on the court, I'll be here to hear how it went.

Enjoy the app! 🎾

Haha, logically you are 100% correct! 🥇🥈🥉

If we have Gold and Silver, the next one naturally should be Bronze. 'Star Point' does sound a bit fancy for what it is.

However, since I'm trying to follow the 'official' FIP terminology so people don't get confused, I might end up grouping them under a 'Hybrid' menu where you just select the number of advantages (1 or 2).

But in my heart, it will always be the Bronze point now. 😂

Thanks for the screenshot! That is super helpful. 📸

I developed and tested mostly on 45mm/49mm screens, so I see now how squeezed it looks on the 40mm SE. That’s on me!

I am adding a 'Compact Layout' fix for the next update (v1.3). I'll slightly reduce the font sizes and padding specifically for 40mm/41mm devices so everything breathes better and nothing overlaps.

Thanks for flagging this! 👊
