About this app
Serve is a scorekeeping app for tennis, pickleball and padel from 1881 Digital. It scores by each sport's own rules rather than just counting points. For tennis, that means deuce and advantage, no-ad deciding points, set and match tiebreaks, and a service rotation that stays correct through tiebreaks and undos. For pickleball, it handles rally or side-out scoring, server one and two, and which side of the court each player should be on. For padel, it supports golden point and doubles service order. You can score from an Apple Watch on its own, even with your iPhone in a bag, and the watch syncs later. Home Screen widgets, a Live Activity, Siri and Shortcuts let you add points without opening the app. Every point is saved as soon as you tap. You can undo points or correct one later from the match history without breaking the score that followed. The app needs no account and keeps match data on your devices. The free version covers all three sports, standard scoring, full Watch scoring and your five most recent matches, and may show a labelled banner ad. Serve Pro, sold as a subscription or a lifetime purchase, adds unlimited history, custom formats, a point-by-point timeline and head-to-head stats.
