Report a problem
Please include your app version, device, operating system, game mode and the steps that led to the issue. Describe what you expected and what happened instead. Screenshots can help; remove names and other data not needed to investigate. The app does not send diagnostic information automatically.
Players and saved games
Manage profiles under Players and choose participants in each game mode. Player profiles are not online accounts. Scores and results are stored locally. If a problem occurs, avoid deleting the app or its data initially so that saved games are preserved.
Share a score sheet
After completing a Straight Pool game, you can export its PDF score sheet and share it with an app of your choice. Check the included names before sharing.
Matchdays: score together and follow the results
The gear on Matchdays opens Matchday settings for the device name, pairing, templates and help. Choose a default template under Manage templates. Within a matchday, Scores shows the current results, Matches handles lineups, and Manage contains devices, the live ticker, recovery and deletion.
Open Matchdays and choose Create matchday. Set up teams, rounds and matches or use a template. After selecting players, you can score directly on this device. It manages the matchday and initially scores all matches.
Connect more devices to the same Wi-Fi network or personal hotspot. Under Manage → Connect and assign devices → QR code / Invitation, show the joining code. On another device choose Join matchday. Paired devices can find new invitations automatically; pull down on the matchday list to search again. If nothing appears, keep both apps open and use the current QR code.
To score on another device, choose Change device in the match or Choose where to score under Manage match. Only the device managing the matchday changes assignments. A joined device initially has view-only access. One device can manage and score at the same time.
Local scoring needs no internet, but the devices must be able to reach each other. For a public live ticker, sign in with the same PBS account, request live access and activate the ticker after operator approval. A spectator link can only be shared once the ticker is actually live.
Transfer management under Manage changes the device managing the whole matchday. Change device affects only one match. Emergency takeover under Recovery is only for a failed management device, which must then remain out of operation. For ordinary connection problems, first use Manage → Connection and recovery.
Under Manage, you can export a matchday archive. In the red Danger zone, the management device can delete the matchday for everyone; offline devices follow on their next contact. Archived results and statistics are retained. For full instructions, see Use matchdays together in the user manual.
Language and appearance
Under Settings → General, you can switch between German and English and adjust the appearance. The privacy policy and this help are also available there without internet access.
Privacy
See the privacy policy for information on local storage, backups, PDF exports, deletion and support requests. Support receives only information you choose to send.
Trial, purchase and devices
You can start the 30-day trial, purchase and restore with your store account without entering an email. An optional verified email account links your license across supported platforms. Confirm the email link to return to the app; sign-in and license checking then complete automatically. Linking an account does not restart the trial. The full version is a one-time purchase covering three devices in total. Free store codes unlock the same version; choose Restore purchases after redemption. Sign in with the same account on Android and Apple to restore your license. Games are not automatically transferred.
The full version works for up to 90 days without an online check. After that, new games require a brief connection. Ongoing games, history and exports remain available. One self-service device replacement is available every 30 days; contact support for additional legitimate replacements. Never share sign-in links, passwords or purchase proofs publicly.
Versions with licensing
The trial and license features described here apply to iPhone/iPad versions from 1.1 and the native Mac version from 1.2 (30), when licensing is enabled. Older versions and desktop versions without this feature continue to work without a license account. Android store purchases will be available when the corresponding Android store version is offered.
