Six rallies of doubles, called

Blue serves first. Here is what Pickle Call shows after each tap.

  1. 0-0-2

    Before the first serve. Only one Blue player serves this turn, so the game opens on server 2.

  2. 1-0-2

    Blue wins the rally: a point, and the server moves to the other side of the court.

  3. 0-1-1

    Orange wins it: side out. The call turns around, and the Orange player standing on the right serves first.

  1. 0-1-2

    Orange loses one: the serve goes to the partner, server 2. No point changes hands.

  2. 1-0-1

    Orange loses again: side out. Blue’s player on the right serves as server 1.

  3. 0-1-2

    Tapped the wrong half? Undo takes that rally back and the call returns to 0-1-2. You can keep going back, right to the first serve.

The first time you open Pickle Call you play a warm-up game on the real score screen. Each tap is explained as it happens, up to the first side out; then you start a real game.

What players ask between rallies

Who serves next?
The highlighted player, from the side marked on the small court. Pickle Call keeps where all four players stand after every rally, so the serving side comes from the server’s position, not a guess from the score.
Do we switch ends now?
Pickle Call tells you: between games, and at 6, 8 or 11 in a one-game match or deciding game to 11, 15 or 21.
Is this game point?
The call says so, and so does match point. Games are won by 2, so play goes on past 10-10 until one side leads by 2.
Wait, that rally was ours.
Undo takes back the last rally. Keep tapping it to go back further, right to the first serve. On Apple Watch, turn the Digital Crown.
Can I keep score without touching the phone?
Yes. With voice scoring on, say “Blue” or “Orange”, a team name, or “us” and “them”, and say “undo” to take one back. Your iPhone recognises the words itself; no audio is sent anywhere. Voice scoring comes with Court pass.
Will it work on my phone, iPad and watch?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later, and Apple Watch with watchOS 11 or later. A game started on the iPhone or the Watch shows live on the other.
