Quick Start

Start your first match in a few taps

The fastest path is simple: choose a sport, pick a preset, add player names, and start scoring. MatchScore Pro handles the scoring rules for you.

Choose a sport

Open the New Match tab and choose Tennis, Pickleball, or Ping-Pong.

Pick a format

Select a built-in preset or adjust the match settings manually for your preferred format.

Add players

Enter names by hand or select saved Player Profiles. You can choose Singles or Doubles.

Start scoring

Tap Start Match, then tap the left or right side during play to award points instantly.

Match Setup

Build the match your way

Use presets for speed or customize everything yourself. MatchScore Pro supports different sports, formats, and player setups without making the setup screen feel heavy.

Presets

Presets apply common rule sets automatically so you can get on court faster.

  • Tennis includes formats like Singles Best of 3, Singles Best of 5, Pro Set, Doubles Best of 3, No-Ad Singles, and No-Ad Doubles.
  • Pickleball includes rally scoring presets for 11, 15, 21, and Best of 5 to 11.
  • Ping-Pong includes standard, quick, and traditional presets.

Singles or Doubles

Switch between Singles and Doubles directly on the New Match screen.

  • Singles uses one player per side.
  • Doubles lets you set up two teams with team names and four individual players.
  • Team names show during scoring, while individual players are still tracked for stats.
Good to know

Player names can be reused from your saved profiles

Tap a player field during setup to search your saved profiles instead of typing each name again. This makes repeat matches much faster and keeps your stats consistent.

Live Scoring

Keep score quickly and confidently

The live scoring screen is designed to be fast under pressure. Tap the side that won the point and let the app manage the rule logic in the background.

PT

Tap to award points

Tap the left or right side of the screen to give a point to the correct player or team. The score updates immediately.

UN

Undo and redo

Use Undo to reverse a mistaken point. Use Redo to re-apply it. Redo clears when a new point is scored.

AI

Rule-aware scoring

The app automatically advances games, sets, tiebreaks, and match completion based on your chosen settings.

SV

Smart prompts

See serving guidance, court-side prompts, and alerts such as Deuce, Advantage, Set Point, Match Point, Tiebreak, and Change Ends.

VC

Voice announcements

Turn on spoken alerts from the top bar to hear important moments during play. Voice announcements work offline.

TV

Spectator Mode

Tap the TV icon during a match for a large, easy-to-read display that works well from across the court.

After the Match

Review the result and move on fast

When the match ends, MatchScore Pro takes you to a summary screen so you can review the result, start a rematch, or share the outcome.

Match Summary

See the winner, final score, score breakdown, and match duration.

Rematch

Start a rematch with the same players and settings without rebuilding the setup from scratch.

Share Results

Share the outcome when you want a quick way to send the final score to others.

History

Your completed matches stay organized in one place so you can revisit results, review details, and start rematches later.

What you can do in History

  • See completed matches with scores, duration, and settings.
  • Search by player name.
  • Filter by sport and match type.
  • Open any match for a deeper breakdown.
