From the first point to the final analysis.
Four things happen every time you play, and only the first one asks anything of you.
Capture
Prop your iPhone on its side anywhere with a view of the court — the back glass is ideal — start the match and forget it is there. The points that decide it save themselves; show your palm to the camera or tap Highlight on the watch for anything else worth keeping. Filming your match is part of Pelota Pro.
Understand
Ask Apple Intelligence about your match and your vitals, and hear it back the way you want — your match story and how you performed. Generated privately on your device with Apple Intelligence, on supported iPhones.

Share
Send the finished match to the people you played with — the score, the stats, the full breakdown — and it opens on their phone already flipped to their side of the court. Sharing a clip is its own quick step, out through the share sheet to Instagram or WhatsApp.

Pick your style in Settings. Both work offline and both know padel's formats: golden point, star point, advantage and tiebreaks. Double Tap can score a point or save a highlight without touching the screen.

FAQ
Do I need my iPhone on court?
No. Scoring happens entirely on your Apple Watch, so your iPhone can stay in your bag or hang on the fence. The only reason to take it out is to prop it up and film the match.
Do I have to hit record to catch a good point on video?
No. With your iPhone propped up and filming, the moments that decide the match are saved automatically as they happen — a break point you convert, a set point, a match point, a golden point. For anything else worth keeping — an impossible defence, a smash you want to watch again — tap your watch and that moment is saved too.
Does Pelota work without internet?
Yes. Pelota works offline — no signal to hunt for on court, and no account is needed to score and track your matches. Without an account, Pelota keeps your 5 most recent matches on the device; a free account keeps every match. Creating a profile is optional; when you sign in, it is what lets you subscribe to Pelota Pro and turn on iCloud sync to carry your history from one device to the next.
How does the free trial work?
New Pro subscribers get 7 days of everything in Pro. You won't be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Scoring and Live Score stay free either way.
What is Lifetime, and when does it end?
One purchase unlocks Pro for good, including future Pro features. It's only on sale until 1 January 2027.
Can I switch between Court View and Classic?
Yes. Open Settings on your watch, go to Scoring Style and pick one. Your matches, stats and attribution work the same in both.
Is Pelota free?
Yes. Scoring, both watch styles and Live Score are free, with no account. Pro adds video highlights, analytics, career records and AI, and starts with a 7-day free trial.
See what's in Pro →Which devices do I need?
An iPhone running iOS 18 or later and an Apple Watch running watchOS 10 or later. Both apps arrive in the same download.
Does Pelota work for tennis too?
Yes. Tennis is fully supported, with its own scoring rules and its own statistics — not padel under a different name. Pelota is designed padel-first, and tennis players get the whole app.
What is the difference between Match, Free Play and Practice?
Match is the full thing: every point scored, every statistic, and the analysis afterwards. Free Play records your movement, heart rate and performance without any formal scoring, for when you are simply hitting. Practice is for focused drill sessions.
