Pongboard: Ping Pong Score

If you have ever stopped mid-rally to ask "whose serve is it?", this is for you. ■ The app does the counting 11 or 21 points, deuce, how many serves are left, when to change ends — all of it is worked out for you, including the change of ends at 5 points in the last game. ■ Big enough to read across the table Two players look at one screen from opposite ends. The game score sits in the middle and the serve marker is a large pill with the word on it, so a glance from the far side is enough. ■ A wrong tap is not a problem Undo works even after a game has ended. If you tapped wrong several times, open the menu and set the score directly. That correction can be undone too. ■ Pick the look of the scoreboard Flip cards, an umpire's card, or an LED board — choose the skin in Settings. The classic table view gives each player a colour, and the colour follows the player when you change ends. ■ Screen clone — the same board on another device On the same Wi-Fi, this scoreboard appears on another device exactly as it is. Count at the umpire's table and let people watch the same screen on their own phone. The sending side shows a three-letter code and the watching side picks that code from a list. No accounts, no pairing, and one viewer or twenty makes no difference to the sender. (Some venue networks block device-to-device traffic, and then it will not show up.) ■ Made for landscape Pongboard always runs sideways, so the numbers can be big and the phone stands neatly next to the table. Tablets too. ■ Nothing covers the scoreboard The scoring screen carries no banner. Ads live on the home screen instead. ■ Rename the players Change names in the middle of a match. Leave a name empty to go back to the default. 12 languages, switchable inside the app at any time.

New scoreboard skins: flip cards, an umpire's card and an LED board — pick one in Settings. Pongboard now runs in landscape only, with a roomier home screen.
