Everyone Loved Pickleball — Except Keeping Score

Pickleball is fun and social—but keeping score caused the most frustration. Here’s how we fixed it.

Everyone Loved Pickleball — Except Keeping Score

Tbh, pickleball wasn’t even on our radar at first.
Then it kept coming up.

Parents.
Grandparents.
Neighbors.
Aunts.
Uncles.

They all loved pickleball.

They talked about how it keeps them active, how it’s easy on the joints, how it gets them out of the house. Pickleball wasn’t just a game — it was fitness, community, and routine all wrapped into one.

But every conversation eventually hit the same wall.

“Someone always forgets the score.”
“We stop mid-game to argue about numbers.”
“We try to remember who served last.”
“We write it on paper… then lose the paper.”

For a game that’s supposed to be fun and social, tracking the pickleball score was causing the most frustration.

So instead of brushing it off, we listened.
It was an easy problem to solve after all.

We watched how games actually played out.
We heard what older players struggled with.
We noticed how younger players wanted something faster and simpler.

So we solved the problem.

🟢 Pickleball Score Counter

We built Pickleball Score Counter, a clean and easy-to-use pickleball scorekeeping app designed for players of all ages.

  • No clutter
  • No tiny buttons
  • No confusing menus

Just a simple way to:

  • Track pickleball scores accurately
  • Keep games moving without interruptions
  • Avoid score disputes and mid-match arguments
  • Focus on playing, not remembering numbers

Whether you’re brand new to pickleball or play several times a week, the app is built so anyone can use it instantly — including players who don’t consider themselves “tech-savvy.”

That part mattered to us.

Because the people who told us about this problem weren’t asking for fancy features.
They just wanted a better way to keep score so they could enjoy the game they already love.

Keep it simple is what we told ourselves.

Your scorekeeping shouldn’t slow it down.
