About

https://www.simpleref.cz Match control on your wrist! You'll never lose track of the game again! Tested on the field – The first truly usable and comprehensive app for soccer referees! Every referee knows the feeling – a split second of distraction, an emotional moment on the pitch, and suddenly you're not 100% sure: "Did that player already have a yellow card?" or "Who had the kickoff?" Accidentally forgetting a card and failing to send a player off after a second booking is every referee's nightmare. SimpleRef was created so that this never happens to you again. Our app clearly displays all issued cards, goals, and the current score directly on your screen. A quick glance at your watch is all it takes to know exactly what is happening. Furthermore, it provides complete match time management, including halves, breaks, extra time, and match suspensions. Why choose SimpleRef? Flash-Fast Logging: While other apps make you navigate complex menus, logging an event in SimpleRef takes just seconds. Use the intuitive keypad to enter a player's number, then select the event type without taking your eyes off the game. Comprehensive Match Events: Cards: Log Yellow and Red cards, including the specific foul reason using localized official acronyms (e.g., DOGSO, SPA). The app automatically highlights a player in red if they receive a second yellow card! Goals: Log Regular Goals, Own Goals, and Penalties. The app automatically calculates and displays the current match score. Smart Summaries: Dedicated, easy-to-read screens show full histories of cards and goals for both Home and Away teams, including the exact minute the event occurred. Complete Time Management: Halves, breaks, extra time, and match duration settings. SimpleRef handles all timekeeping. Need to pause the game for an injury or crowd issue? Use the Suspend Match feature to halt the game, with the option to keep the clock running or pause it. Kickoff Tracking: Never forget who started the game. Easily record which team took the kickoff for the 1st Half and Extra Time. GPS & Fitness: In addition to match management, the app records your movement, total distance, pace, and heart rate directly to Garmin Connect. A Fully Customizable Assistant: SimpleRef adapts to your habits, not the other way around. Adjust everything you need in seconds directly on your watch: Team Names: No more generic "Home" and "Away." Use the intuitive keyboard to set specific team names for each match. Half Length: Refereeing youth or seniors? Set any half length (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, or 45 minutes). 3 Fully Configurable Data Fields: Track what matters to you. Choose any combination for the main screen: Distance (total or lap), Heart Rate (current or average), Speed (current or max), Calories burned, Battery, or Time of Day. Color Themes: Classic or modern? Toggle between Light and Dark themes for perfect readability in any light (ideal for both AMOLED and MIP displays). Units: Easily switch between Metric and Imperial units. We Speak Your Language: Forget the dictionary. The app is fully localized into 8 languages: English, Czech, Slovak, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Italian. Web: https://simpleref.cz
