1.5.4 6d ago
Score it your way.
SIDE-OUT SCORING
Create a custom match format and set Scoring to Side-Out to play traditional rules, where only the serving team can score. Tap who serves first at the start of each set. Rally scoring stays the default.
NO-LIMIT SETS
Set a custom format's Points to Win to "Off" for a set with no score limit — perfect for casual or timed play where you call the finish.
A SMOOTHER VIDEO SCOREBOARD
• The recording screen no longer brightens every time the score changes on your Watch — it stays dim to save battery while you film.
• After a set-winning point, the video stays on the live celebration for a few seconds before cutting to the results card.
• Clearer "Score Source" picker so it's obvious where your score is coming from.
Thanks for playing with VBScore!
1.5.3 Oct 10
Old-school scoring is back.
SIDE-OUT SCORING
VBScore now supports traditional side-out scoring, where only the serving team can score a point. Pick it per match format — choose the new built-in "Side-Out" format or set any custom format to Side-Out. At the start of each set, just tap who serves first and you're off. Rally scoring stays the default, so nothing changes unless you want it to.

SMOOTHER GO-LIVE
Starting a YouTube stream is more reliable and more patient — if YouTube takes an extra moment to go live, VBScore now waits it out and tells you exactly what's happening instead of giving up early.
BLUETOOTH AUDIO FIX
Playing music through a Bluetooth speaker? Your audio now snaps right back to full volume after every score announcement — no more staying quiet.

NEW

automatically on the phone that's recording or live streaming. No more

appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island so you can follow
along without opening the app.

history list now matches the phone's design.
• Voice announcements ease off when one team is far ahead, and the playful
