Getting started with the Quicktap Tennis Scoring App is pretty easy.  

The app has two components, a watch component and a phone component.   Here’s what you should look for each device after you install the app.  Here they are below, marked in red:

Strictly speaking, you do not need the iPhone app for basic scorekeeping so if you like you can ignore it for now.  However, if you want to learn more about the features it provides, those are outlined in the Full App Instructions - Phone section.  

Start the app by tapping on the icon and you will see the main scoring page as shown below:

To start using the app, use your finger to DOUBLE TAP the game score (currently 00:00) to display the scrolling app menu.

Press on either of the two ‘Start’ menu selections depending on if you are serving or receiving.   Let’s assume I’m receiving and press the ‘Start Receive’ button. 

The ‘R’ shows you are receiving and the match timer at the bottom will start.  At any point, you can long press on the score to reveal the menu and reset the match.  

As each point occurs, DOUBLE TAP either the WIN or the LOSE button twice to record the point.  The score will change with each point.  

When the serve switches, the R will change to an S to indicate you are serving and you continue.  Also, a reminder tone is sounded when you need to switch sides and the score will show in reverse.  This helps during tie breaks.

Here are some typical scoring screens:

Here are some sample screens just to give you an idea how this works.  The score switches just like it would if you were announcing it between each point. 

If you make a mistake and enter the wrong player to win a point, you can undo the entry and redo it by pressing on the score to bring up the menu and pressing on the undo option in the lower right hand corner.  This will reset the score and let you fix it.   You can only undo the previous point, however.  If you need to do more than then, you can go into the phone app and fix the game score.  See that part of the instructions for more details concerning how this works.

If the set ends up 6-6, the app goes into tie break mode and will show this screen:

To continue, DOUBLE TAP on the TIE or BRK literals and you will see a regular tennis scoring screen and you enter points as normally.  The only difference is that instead of the normal game scoring, you’ll see a 7 point tie breaker scoring and switches will be prompted after playing 6 points.  When the tie break ends, you will be taken back into regular scoring mode to continue the match.

The score will update as you enter points.  If the match ends after two sets, the match ending screen will be shown, indicating who won and the game score as well as total games played, total points played and total elapsed time for the match.   Here are some sample screens you might see:

Tap OK to get back to the scoring screen.  

If the match ends up one set to one set, a screen will be displayed that asks if you want to play a third set or a tie break.  You can either Quit (if you just want to stop there if it was some sort of practice session), play the third set of play the tie break.  

If you play a third set, the regular scoring screen will be displayed and you just play a third set.  If you choose a tie breaker, you will be guided through a 10 point tie breaker with 6 point side switches.  The final score will be display on the win/lose screen and will include the tie breaker points.
