Frequently asked questions

What is ScoreTap?

ScoreTap (store name: Pickleball Remote Scoreboard) is a free scoreboard app for pickleball and 16 other racket, net, table and yard sports. It speaks the score after every rally, pairs with the ₱1,900 ScoreTap Ring or any Bluetooth remote so you can score hands-free, and runs offline with no account, ads or tracking.

Is ScoreTap free?

The ScoreTap app is free on Google Play, on the App Store and on the web, with no ads or subscriptions. The ScoreTap Ring, an optional wearable accessory for hands-free scoring, costs ₱1,900 separately.

What is the ScoreTap Ring?

A ₱1,900 wearable Bluetooth ring made for one job: scoring a match without ever touching your phone. Tap it after a rally and it scores or undoes, exactly like any Bluetooth remote bound in Settings.

How do I install ScoreTap on my phone?

On Android, install it from Google Play. On iPhone, install it from the App Store. See the install guide for step-by-step instructions.

Does ScoreTap use official pickleball scoring?

Yes. It offers the three official versions: traditional side-out scoring to 11, rally scoring, and tournament side-out to 15. Doubles starts at 0-0-2 and the app tracks the server number, side-outs and win-by-2 exactly as a referee would.

Do I need to buy the ring, or can I use another Bluetooth remote?

The ScoreTap Ring is the recommended way to score hands-free, but it is not required: any Bluetooth remote that sends standard media or keyboard keys works too, including cheap "bike handlebar" music controls, presenter clickers and Bluetooth keyboards. Volume buttons cannot be read by any app on any phone, so bind play, next or previous instead.

Which languages does ScoreTap support?

9: English (US), English (UK), German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Vietnamese. Both the voice announcer and the app's interface are available in each of them. Speech uses the voices already installed on your device, so nothing is downloaded or sent anywhere.

Does ScoreTap work offline?

Yes. After the first load the web app is cached by a service worker and makes no further network requests. The Android and iOS apps bundle everything and never need a connection.

What data does ScoreTap collect?

None. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting and no advertising SDK. The only stored data is your sport, game settings, remote-button mapping and language, kept in local storage on your own device.

Which sports does ScoreTap support?

17: Pickleball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Tennis, Padel, Platform Tennis, Beach Tennis, Squash, Racquetball, Crossminton, Volleyball, Sepak Takraw, Roundnet / Spikeball, Cornhole, Foosball, Shuffleboard, and Bocce / Pétanque. Each sport uses its own real scoring rules, not a generic tally.

The announcer is silent or speaks the wrong language. What should I check?

First make sure the sound toggle in the app is on and your phone is not in silent mode. Speech uses the voices installed on your device; if a language sounds unavailable, open your system's text-to-speech settings and install that language's voice pack, then pick the language again from the sound menu in the app.

How do I change the sport, scoring version or points to win?

Tap the gear icon to open Settings. Choose the sport, then its scoring version, then options such as points to win, win-by-2 and match length. Your choice is remembered as the default next time.

How do I undo a point?

Tap the undo button in the toolbar, swipe as configured, or press the remote button you bound to Undo. Undo restores the previous state including server number and side-outs.

Why does the screen stay on during a game?

The app requests a screen wake lock so the scoreboard stays visible for the whole match. It is released when the match ends or the app goes to the background.

How do I reset all settings?

Clear the app's storage or reinstall it (Google Play build), or clear the site data in your browser (web app). Because nothing is stored anywhere else, that removes everything.

How do I report a bug or request a sport?

Email algoflamingo@gmail.com with your device, browser or app version, the sport and scoring version you used, and what you expected to happen. We read every message.
