The Pikel Pickleball App is a fantastic app for setting up pickleball games in different format. It’s easy to use, well-designed, and setting up games, connecting with players, and organizing PB events simple and fun. The app truly helps build the pickleball community, and the team continues to improve it with great features regularly. Highly recommend for anyone who loves pickleball! My group was previously using Swish but almost all the features and very user friendly.

Community is the hard part to design for. You can build the scheduling and the scoring, but whether a group actually sticks together is up to the group. Glad it's helping yours.
Best All in One Pickleball app
Prabhuk7
This is by far the best and most intuitive app of all the pickleball apps. I have used Swish and Pickleheads. They were subpar apps and doesn’t deserve a subscription so I moved all my clubs and management off all my clubs which we play at Lifetime and Picklr locations to start using this and my entire club is loving it. It’s so easy to use.
Swish on Steroid - The new gold standard on pickleball!
Zero-0-Two
I’ve used Swish for ages and this blows it out of the water. It takes everything that Swish does for game management and adds excellent analytics on top of it.The standout feature is the deep performance tracking. It tracks your match history to show exactly which partners and game styles you play best with, giving you the ultimate edge to pick the right partner for a tournament.UI is also slick and extremely easy to use. The app almost knows where you want the next button to be.Hands down the best pickleball app on App Store right now.
Developer Response
Thank you. Partner chemistry began as a question we couldn't answer about our own games: who do you actually win with? The match history already held the answer — we'd just never asked it. Watching it get used to pick a tournament partner is the payoff.
Partner Chemistry Feature is Epic!
athershareef
I love the partner chemistry feature which helped me to find the partner that play best with in tournaments! Game changer for tracking how you play with partners and ease to setup and enter scores for round robins!
Developer Response
Knowing who you actually win with beats guessing the week before a tournament. Good to hear the score entry keeps up as well — round robin scoring is where these things usually start to drag.
Changed your mind? Any game can switch to any format now, right up until the first score.
