Table Tennis Scoreboard is a free, ad-free Android app that keeps score for your ping pong matches, so both players can focus on the game instead of arguing about who serves next or what the score is. It follows the official ITTF scoring rules out of the box, and it works completely offline.
Why I built it
When playing table tennis with friends, we kept losing track of two things: the exact score after a long rally, and whose turn it was to serve — especially after deuce, when the serve alternates every single point. Writing scores on paper or trying to remember them never worked well. So I built a scoreboard that handles all of the bookkeeping automatically: you only tap once per point, and the app takes care of everything else.
Features
- One tap per point — tap a player's side when they win a point; the app updates the score instantly.
- Automatic serve rotation — the serve indicator switches every 2 serves, and every 1 serve after deuce (10:10), exactly as the official rules require.
- Deuce handling — a set is won at 11 points with at least a 2-point lead; the app keeps the set going automatically at 10:10 and beyond.
- Flexible match formats — best of 5 sets by default (first to win 3 sets), configurable to best of 7 or other formats.
- Set history — see the result of each finished set at a glance during the match.
- Undo — mis-tapped? Take back the last point without resetting the whole game.
- Large, readable display — big digits you can read from across the table; place the phone on the table side and both players can check the score anytime.
- No ads, no account, no internet needed — open the app and play.
Scoring rules it follows
| Rule | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Set | First to 11 points, must lead by at least 2 |
| Deuce (10:10) | Play continues until one player leads by 2 |
| Serve rotation | Switches every 2 serves; every 1 serve after deuce |
| Match | Best of 5 sets (first to 3), configurable to best of 7 or other |
How to use
- Open the app and choose the match format (best of 5 by default).
- Select which player serves first.
- After each rally, tap the winner's side of the screen — score, serve indicator, and set/match state all update automatically.
- When a set or the match ends, the app announces the result; start the next set or a new match with one tap.

FAQ
Does it work offline?
Yes. The app never needs an internet connection.
Can I use it for casual games to 21 points?

Is it really free?
Yes — free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
