Padelore: Watch Scorekeeper
Pickleball & padel on Watch
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pickleball, padel, tennis, squash, badminton — one scorekeeper, and it lives on your wrist.
TAP YOUR WRIST TO SCORE. Every point is a tap on your Apple Watch. Points, games, sets, side-out, golden point, tiebreak, win-by-two — the rules are built in, so nobody argues the count. No phone in your hand between rallies.
PROP THE PHONE ON THE FENCE. Set the match up on your iPhone, lean it against the net post, and it turns into a live scoreboard all four players can read. No digging in a pocket to check who's serving. And after a set — or a points match — the board breaks down where every point came from: both teams, split by the left and right opponent. Everyone on the fence sees who hit the winners and who handed over the errors.
AFTER THE MATCH, THE TRUTH. Not a dry "11-7." Padelore reads every point — your winners, your opponents' errors, who beat whom — and tells you flat out what you're good at and what needs work. A rating, your play style, and where the points actually came from. Like a coach who never left the court.
YOUR WATCH SAW THE EFFORT TOO. Time on court, heart-rate zones, calories, distance — across every sport you play. You learn not just THAT you won, but what it cost you. No new gadget: the Apple Watch you already wear is enough.
SEND A MATCH TO A FRIEND. Finished a good one? Share it. They see the final score and the point-by-point story — who led, where it fell apart — even if they don't own a watch.
RUNNING A NIGHT FOR THE GROUP? Americano and Mexicano tournaments set themselves up — auto rotations, live standings, your group's season table, and an opt-in global padel ranking. You play instead of refereeing and keeping the book at the same time.
Apple Health. iCloud history sync. 11 languages.
Padelore. Book the court somewhere else. Here you count the match.
Requires an Apple Watch with watchOS 11 or later. Also works with just an iPhone.
more Matches in Classic mode — the one with sets — could shut the app down right after the start on Apple Watch SE, Series 4 through 8 and the first Ultra. Fixed. You start the match, you finish the match.
Padelore speaks your language the whole way through: setting up a tournament, the session summary on the watch, the winner card, the sheet with the QR code, the podium card you send to the group, the name of the widget. Dates and times in your format too.
The last match of a round sometimes didn't make it to iCloud, so your second device showed a tournament with a hole in it. It gets there now.
Lock Screen and the widget kept a tournament marked as live long after it was over. They tell the truth again.
1.13.3 Aug 4
Five sports. One scorekeeper. It lives on your wrist.
WHAT'S NEW
Score on your Apple Watch. Tap the wrist for every point — pickleball, padel, tennis, squash, badminton. Points, sets, side-out, golden point, tiebreak, win-by-two are all built in. The phone stays on the fence as a live scoreboard the whole court can read.
Find out who you really are on court. After the match, Padelore reads every point and tells you the truth — your rating, your play style, your winners against your opponents' errors, and exactly where the points came from.
See the effort, not just the result. Time on court, heart-rate zones, calories, distance — across every sport you play.
Send a finished match to a friend. They see the score and the point-by-point story, even without a watch.
You play. Leave the scoring to us.
1.13.2 Jul 28
Four things that change what you see after the match.
WHAT'S NEW
Get a match from a mate — with a real chart. Someone shares a result, you open it and see the point-by-point curve: who led, where it fell apart, which winner was the pretty one. No more taking their word for it.
Search Padelore players by name. Adding players to a match, type a name — under your roster you get players from the global ranking, with their rating so you can tell two "John Smiths" apart. Tap "Add" and they're in.
A "plays on Padelore" badge. In the player list you instantly see who has an account — a little ball by the avatar. The rest are local friends worth inviting.
BETTER
• Heart-rate chart with a scale — see how hard it actually beat, not just the shape.
FIXED
• The "System" language finally goes back to your phone's language instead of clinging to the last one you picked.
You play. Leave the scoring to us.
1.13.1 Jul 17
A smaller release, straight to the point.
WHAT'S NEW
Three new languages — Swedish, French, Dutch. The app now speaks 11 languages, and your wrist sticks to whatever you pick on the phone.
Water Lock on the watch. Turn it on before the first point — rain, sweat and accidental taps won't touch the score. Unlock it with the Digital Crown.
Links that open the app. Someone sends you a match or a tournament — tap it and it lands straight in Padelore, no faffing about.
BETTER
• Smoother scrolling in the player list — swiping sideways and scrolling down no longer fight each other.
• VoiceOver covers more screens — the app talks to those who don't look at the screen too.
• "How I play" and the form charts laid out cleaner, even tiles.
• More padel-vocabulary fixes across the translations.
FIXED
• Tougher stability and cloud saving — fewer surprises when the club Wi-Fi has an off day.
You play. Leave the counting to us.
1.13.0 Jul 16
Half a year of work since the version you've got. Short version: the app now tells you WHERE the score came from, you swap matches with your mates — and nobody blames the loss on the wind.
WHAT'S NEW
Swap your results. Show a mate your code, connect once, and trade match results. Each of you sees the match from your own side, and it lands in your History. No personal data, no ranking chase — you decide who you show it to.
Match end tells you "where the score came from". Lean your phone on the glass — after the match and after every set you'll see from three metres who hit the winners and who handed points away on errors. Padel without excuses.
Every match is tappable. Tap a match in History and you've got the lot: point by point, heart rate, key moments, zones. Hard evidence instead of "I think I played well".
"No limit" mode. Ran out of court time, not points? Play until "Finish" and enter the score in peace. Draws allowed — yes, it happens in padel.
Cards to brag with. Share a whole session or a single match as a ready-made image for social — with the score, the flow curve and stats. No heart rate or names, if you'd rather save face.
New form charts. A trend with a confidence band, your playing pace and a consistency grid — you can see whether you play steadily or in bursts.
BETTER
• The watch now speaks the app's language — pick it once on the phone and your wrist won't flip you to English mid-match.
• "How I play" trimmed from 12 cards to 7 — no more staring at the same rating four times in a row.
• Auto-glass: start scoring on the watch and the phone opens the fence board by itself. Zero taps.
• 613 padel-vocabulary fixes across 8 languages — no more straight-from-the-translator clangers.
• Clearer digits and labels in full sun, plus a brighter serve screen — you see who's serving at a glance.
• Super tie-break counts properly — to 10 only at one set all.
• More time (10 s) to tag a point on the watch.
• Portuguese joined the party.
FIXED
• The next match remembers your settings — the advantage limit and the rest carry over, no setting it all from scratch.
• A golden glow on the watch at golden point — you know it's all or nothing before anyone shouts it.
• A watch session ALWAYS reaches History — and survives even killing the app halfway. Nothing disappears now.
• Crashes squashed: starting a match on the watch, deleting a tournament, "Rematch", the widget. Less drama, more playing.
• Tougher saving to the cloud when the club Wi-Fi has an off day.
You play. Leave the counting to us.
1.12.5 Jul 14
Padelore 1.12.0 — the phone on the glass finally talks, not just glows a scoreline.
Lean your phone on the fence and after every set (and at match end) you get the board that says WHERE the score came from: how many points you earned, and how many the other pair handed you off the backhand. No more guessing who really carries the pair.
I'm playing the tournament. Someone else runs the Americano, and you still count your own matches — wins, losses, final placing — without asking the organiser for the score.
No limit. Court's yours till 8pm? Play on the clock, tap “Finish”, most points wins. No fake “first to 21”.
Cards to brag with. After a session, one tap makes an image with the score, the effort and the podium — off to the group chat before your rival invents an excuse.
Plus a pile of readability tweaks so nothing gets lost in the sun.
You play. Leave the counting to us.
1.12.0 Jul 11
Padelore 1.9.0 — the good stuff now happens after the last ball.
No more bare scoreline. After the match you get the full card: how the points flowed, where they came from, your heart rate, and what the match cost you. You can see at a glance whether you won it with class or the other pair scored an own goal.
Your watch talks like a coach. The results screen just tells you what decided it — attack or patience — instead of three rings nobody was staring at anyway.
Live score like Wimbledon: sets, games, and the current point on one board. No more guessing “is it 15-40 or 1-3?”.
Doubles counts toward the ranking — the full match log rides from watch to phone, and not a single point goes missing.
And if you hand the counting to the watch mid-match, the score stays put — it doesn’t snap back to 0-0.
Plus seven languages polished enough that your mate in Madrid won’t catch a single slip.
You play. Leave the counting to us.
1.9.0 Jul 1
We rebuilt the home screen so it belongs to you, not to a list of buttons. From the first tap, you can see what kind of player you are.
- New Home: “How I Play” (who you are on court) and “Activity” (how much you actually play) right up front.
- New welcome: five screens and you get the point before your first one.
- We now speak seven languages.
- Under the hood: faster, cleaner, fewer places a score could go missing.
You play. Leave the counting to us.
1.8.0 Jun 29
Small update, big peace of mind on court:
- Mexicano now pairs like a real club: best with weakest in each four, so the match is a fight, not an execution. The era of two sharks teaming up every round is over.
- Discard a training and it actually disappears. It used to quietly stay in Apple Health like a guilty conscience. Not anymore.
- We now run on older watches (Apple Watch SE 1st gen and friends) — nobody benched over hardware.
Count, play, argue about the score a little less.
1.6.1 Jun 25
A fresh look for the How I Play screen: Impact Rating as a 0-100 ring, clearer rating drivers, and a proportional result x effort map. Match card with a refreshed score header.
1.6.0 Jun 25
We packed in a big one.
Your “Me” stats — Impact Rating, player archetype and a result-versus-effort map.
Week, month and year stats.
Live set scoreboard — every set in its own column, like on TV.
New line-up screen — add players from Contacts or type them in.
7 languages.
The watch scores tournament matches and syncs to the phone to the point.
“Advantage with a limit” now works exactly as you set it.
Smoother tournament stats, readable score entry, less tapping.
Fewer bugs, more padel. See you on court.
1.5.1 Jun 23
the app for us — the ones who pop in "for one" and leave 3 hours later
hey, the watch app got rebuilt from scratch:
– "play" — one button, the crown changes the format. easier than explaining at home that this is really the last set
– "resume match" straight from the watch face. closer than that new racket you play exactly like the old one
– score a tournament from your wrist (1 court) — no phone, no endless "who's serving??"
– haptics: game, set, break point — each with its own buzz. count by feel like a pro. or fake it, like the rest of us
– oled, big numbers, readable in the sun between one "vamos!" and the next
– history with your win/loss — something to brag about in the group chat. or quietly skip after a beating
plus fixes, the important one: your phone no longer loses a watch-scored match. whoever's set vanished — we know, it stung more than padel elbow
ps. you'll play every day anyway, no point fighting it.
1.3.0 Jun 16
Third set, and the app caught its second wind. What's new on court:
• Singles 1v1 — your fourth bailed last minute (again)? Don't pack up. Play one on one — single match or a full tournament, the app lays out the rounds.
• The live tournament, redesigned — the score in the team colour, big enough to read from the bar. Round bar up top: tap back for results, tap forward to see who you're about to lose to… or beat.
• Seven languages — Polish, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and Ukrainian. No more teammate squinting at a button in a language he doesn't speak.
• Small fixes — so the counting stays smooth and you've got one less excuse to argue.
See you at the net. Game on!
1.2.0 Jun 14
What's new:
• COURT page on the watch — who serves (tap to correct) and swap scoreboard sides right from your wrist.
• Deuce rules sorted out: Golden Point, Advantage, or Limited Advantage — you pick how many deuces (1–3) are played before the golden point.
• Tournament-style golden point: receivers choose the serve side — the watch asks, the scoreboard and match card show it.
• Set format descriptions — know what Pro Set and Super Tie Break mean before you tap.
• Scoreboard hint: lean your phone against the glass, points from the watch flow automatically.
Fixes: match card no longer loses the score, Recent points work with watch scoring, the court graphic no longer covers the digits.
Happy padel!
1.1.0 Jun 13
Second set, same energy. Coach reviewed the first-set footage and the fixes just walked onto the court:
• Pairs keep their lineups — no more mix mode matchmaking two gentlemen together. Fixed pairs play together to the last round, in Americano and Mexicano.
• Between-round standings rank PAIRS, not individual players.
• Player gender saves once, for good — the app remembers.
• Publishing results to the global ranking is fixed — TrueSkill counts, the leaderboard grows.
• Swipe in history works like Mail: short swipe — button, full swipe — gone.
• The score entry sheet no longer shows through — digits readable in full sun.
• Dark mode without black patches — full navy, like a proper court at night.
• The scoreboard on the glass signs itself "PADELORE" — spectators will know what hooked them.
See you at the net. Game on!
1.0.1 Jun 12
Matches in Classic mode — the one with sets — could shut the app down right after the start on Apple Watch SE, Series 4 through 8 and the first Ultra. Fixed. You start the match, you finish the match.
Padelore speaks your language the whole way through: setting up a tournament, the session summary on the watch, the winner card, the sheet with the QR code, the podium card you send to the group, the name of the widget. Dates and times in your format too.
The last match of a round sometimes didn't make it to iCloud, so your second device showed a tournament with a hole in it. It gets there now.
Lock Screen and the widget kept a tournament marked as live long after it was over. They tell the truth again.
