How to Score a Game

Baseball & Softball Scoreboard keeps the board simple: big, glanceable numerals you can read one-handed from the dugout. Tap to add runs, advance the count, and move through the innings.

Runs, count & innings

1. Tap a team's score to add a run.
2. Tap the ball, strike, and out indicators to advance the count. Three outs flips the half-inning.
3. The inning indicator tracks the top and bottom half automatically as outs accumulate.

Undo & edit

Tapped the wrong button? Use Undo to step back the last action, or tap a value to correct the score or count directly — no menu-diving, so you can fix a miscount before the next pitch.

Runs, Hits & Errors (R-H-E)

The classic R-H-E line is available on the board so you can track runs, hits, and errors for each team alongside the inning-by-inning score.

Top & bottom of the inning

The board shows which half-inning you're in. The visiting team bats in the top; the home team bats in the bottom. Outs roll the half over automatically.

Tip: Your game is saved on-device automatically. If you put your phone away mid-inning, the score is exactly where you left it when you come back.

Pro & Purchases

Baseball & Softball Scoreboard is free to download and score with. Pro unlocks the premium features and removes ads. You can choose the option that fits how you use the app.

Lifetime vs Season Pass

• Lifetime — a single, one-time purchase. Pay once and keep Pro forever, with no recurring charge.
• Season Pass — an annual subscription. A good fit if you'd rather pay per season; it renews each year unless you cancel.

What Pro unlocks

• Stadium mode — oversized, high-contrast numerals readable in bright daylight.
• Live Activity & Dynamic Island — the live score on your Lock Screen and notch.
• Home & Lock Screen widgets — the current or final score, a glance away.
• Siri — start a new game hands-free.
• Ad-free — removes the ads shown in the free version.

Restoring your purchase

Already bought Pro and switching to a new device? Open Settings and tap Restore Purchases. As long as you're signed into the same Apple ID, your Pro unlock comes right back.

Refunds

Purchases and refunds are handled by Apple. Use Apple's Report a Problem page to request a refund.

Live Activities, Widgets & Siri

These Pro features keep the score in front of you without opening the app — on the Lock Screen, the Home Screen, and hands-free with Siri.

Live Activity & Dynamic Island

During a game, Baseball & Softball Scoreboard can pin the live score to your iPhone Lock Screen as a Live Activity, and to the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. Glance down to see the score, inning, and count without unlocking — long-press the Dynamic Island for the expanded view.

1. Unlock Pro to enable Live Activities.
2. Make sure Live Activities are allowed in Settings → Baseball & Softball Scoreboard.
3. Start scoring a game — the Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Home & Lock Screen widgets

Add a widget to keep the score one glance away. While a game is live the widget shows the current score; once the game ends it shows the final.

1. Long-press an empty area of your Home Screen (or your Lock Screen) until it enters edit mode.
2. Tap the + (Home Screen) or a widget slot (Lock Screen).
3. Search "Baseball & Softball Scoreboard" and pick the size you want.

Siri

With Pro you can start a new game hands-free. Ask Siri to start a new game with Baseball & Softball Scoreboard and step up to the plate without tapping.

Tip: Live Activities, widgets, and Siri are Pro features. Unlock Pro once (Lifetime) or per season (Season Pass) to turn them on.

Data, Privacy & Support

Baseball & Softball Scoreboard is built to keep your data on your device. If Then Dev does not collect personal data, run analytics, or store your games on a server.

Where your games live

Your scores and saved games are stored on-device, in an App Group container shared with the widgets and Live Activity. There's no account, no login, and nothing uploaded to If Then Dev.

Ads & tracking

The free version shows ads through AppLovin MAX and its ad-network partners. Some ad data — including your device advertising identifier (IDFA) — is only used if you allow it via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can change that choice anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, or remove ads entirely by unlocking Pro. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
