Incredibly easy to use
Found this app very intuitive and easy to use. It is interesting to note the PPA are only just now experimenting with using an App for tournaments and yet this app has been out for years. My only disappointment is the App is unreadable if you have the Dark Mode display setting turned on. It would be great if app adjusted or at the very least forced light mode when in the app.
Great app
I have been using this app beginning last November. Recommend it as a great training tool for beginner refs.
Really Impressed
I really liked it a lot. Makes it easy to keep track. There are a couple of more things that I would like since now you have the data stored and that is the ability to go back and replay the points and see how the match unfolded. Also, the ability to optionally select colors that would go around the player box so you don’t have to read the description of what they are wearing. I know this might be a bit much but knowing what ball you were playing with and whether it was indoor or outdoor. Having this kind of information would be nice for the players to go back and see how they played against a person or with a person in what conditions. You can tell that someone spent some time on this program. Good job!
This is awesome
We just started playing pickleball a few months ago. This app seems really easy to use and I am excited to try it out next time we play.
