Dart Scoreboard, a darts scorer app for real boards

What can you score with it?

• X01 games: 501, 301, 701 and 1001. Each visit of up to three darts comes off your score, and a visit that goes below zero, or leaves exactly 1 with double-out on, is marked BUST — score unchanged.
• Cricket: marks on 20 down to 15 plus the bull, closed numbers and points, tracked for every player on one grid.
• Finishes: once your remaining score can be checked out in three darts, a Checkout line shows a route such as T20 T20 Bull for 170.
• Match format: legs and sets, with steppers for how many legs win a set (up to 9) and how many sets win the match (up to 5). The player who throws first rotates every leg.
• Stats: 3-dart average, highest visit, 180s, tons, best checkout and win rate per player. All of it adds up from the matches sitting on your own device, nowhere else.

Quick start: your first 501 match

1. Under Game, tap 501 and leave Double Out on for standard rules.
2. Under Players, type the names. Names are only labels, there is no account.
3. Under Match Length, set how many legs win a set and how many sets win the match.
4. Tap Start Match.
5. For each dart, pick Single, Double or Triple, then tap the number. Use Miss for a dart off the scoring area. After the third dart the visit is recorded; tap Enter to record a visit of one or two darts.
6. Typed something wrong? Tap Undo Last Visit and the board goes back to exactly how it was.

What is free and what does Pro add?

The app is free to download. Free covers 501, 301, 701 and 1001 for two players, double-out on or off, bust detection, checkout hints, undo, the 3-dart average and all career stats, and the five most recent matches in Match History.

Pro, bought as a subscription or a one-time purchase, adds Cricket, a third and fourth player, the full match history, first-9 average and checkout percentage on every summary, and the Midnight and Tungsten themes, plus no ads. Skip it if you only ever play 501 with one other person. It only earns its keep once Cricket or more than two players come into it. Free players can also watch a rewarded ad to use Cricket and those two advanced stats until they close the app.

Offline, private, no account

No connection needed. Scoring, checkout hints, undo, stats, history — all of it runs on the phone, saved to a database that never leaves the device. No sign-in, no sync, so delete the app and the history goes with it.

It asks for one permission during onboarding: App Tracking Transparency, for ads in the free version. Say no and you still see ads, just not personalised ones. None of them show on the match screen itself — the one full-screen ad waits until a match ends.

What it does not do

• It does not see the board. There is no camera scoring and no voice input: every dart is tapped in by hand.
• It is not an online game. Everyone plays on the same device and the same board.
• It does not run leagues or tournaments, and it has no Apple Watch, Mac or Android version and no widgets.
• It has no backup or cloud sync, so history stays on one iPhone or iPad.

If you're after camera scoring or playing strangers online, look elsewhere — this is a scoreboard built to sit next to a real board, nothing more.
