Chapter 01 — Apple Watch

Score a point in
under a second.

No phone needed. Your wrist is the scoreboard, the referee, and the announcer — all at once.

🎾

One tap, one point.

The match screen shows two large tap zones — one for each player. Tap the winner to score. TennisCount handles the rest: points → games → sets, tiebreaks, advantage, deuce — all automatically by official tennis rules.

👆👆

Double Tap Gesture

Score hands-free with Apple Watch's native double tap — pinch your index finger and thumb twice. Configure it to score for Player 1, Player 2, or the current server.

🔊

Voice Announcements

Enable audio score calls and TennisCount will announce like a real umpire — "Forty — Thirty" — after every point. Ideal when you can't glance at the watch.

↩️

Instant Undo

Tapped the wrong player? A crown spin or back swipe restores the previous score instantly. No match is ever ruined by a mistouch.

⇄

Side Change Alert

After every odd game, TennisCount shows a haptic "Change sides" alert. During tiebreaks, it alerts every 6 points. Never lose track of which side to play from.

⚡

Simplified Mode

Skip individual points — each tap scores a full game directly. Perfect for practice sets and warm-ups when you just want to track the bigger picture.
