PointCop

Padel and tennis scoreboard

Stop arguing about the score.

Hang your phone on the fence and it becomes the scoreboard. Tap a half of the screen to add a point, hold to take one back. The watch already on your wrist works as the remote, so you never walk back to the net.

Free. No ads, no account, no in-app purchases.

What it does

The phone is the scoreboard

Big numbers, readable across the court, in daylight. The screen stays awake while a match is on and goes back to sleep when it ends.

The watch is the remote

A Garmin or Wear OS watch adds and removes points from your wrist and shows the same score. It is an extra, never a requirement: the app works on its own.

It calls the game

Points, games, sets, deuce, advantage, tie-break and super tie-break are counted by a scoring engine with 61 tests behind it. The banner tells you where the match stands.

Your rules

Best of three or five sets, golden point, advantage, tie-break at six, super tie-break instead of a final set. Set it up once per match and play.

Team colours

Pick a colour per team so the scoreboard matches the shirts, and nobody reads the wrong half.

Nine languages

English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Chinese and Russian, following the phone's own language.

How a match goes

  1. 1

    Set the format: sets, golden point, tie-break. It takes one screen.

  2. 2

    Hang the phone on the fence with the court in front of it.

  3. 3

    Tap your half for a point. Hold it to take one back when somebody miscounts.

  4. 4

    If you are wearing a Garmin or Wear OS watch, pair it and score from your wrist instead.

  5. 5

    The app calls game, set and match, and tells you when it is over.

Formats it knows

The engine was written against the real rules and every one of these has a test behind it.

  • One set, best of three or best of five
  • Open play: no sets at all, just games, stop when you like
  • Killer, golden point or advantage at deuce
  • Tie-break at six games all, to seven points, win by two
  • Super tie-break to ten in place of a deciding set
  • Points after match point are ignored, so a stray tap cannot rewrite the result

Nothing leaves your phone

PointCop has no account, no sign-up and no analytics. Your match settings are saved on the device and nowhere else. The app sends nothing to us, because there is no us to send it to.
