Hi fellow Padel lover,
I built Padel Smash to be a clean, reliable, and distraction-free way to keep score directly from your wrist, so you can stay focused on the game. This isn't just a generic tennis app; it's built specifically for the unique flow and modern rules of Padel.

• HR Gauge: Monitor your effort with the Heart Rate zone gauge that wraps around the edge of your watch face while you play.
------ Data and Activity:
• Broadcast Score: Open Padelsmash.app, enter the PIN from the Settings menu, and scores are announced in real time.
• Full Match Summary: A scrollable breakdown of every set score and the total duration once the match ends.
• Activity Recording: Matches are saved natively to Garmin Connect as 'Padel' (on supported watches), so your training load and history stay perfectly categorised.
• Performance Metrics: Track your Serve Success % and Return Success % in your Garmin Connect summary to see where your game is strongest.
• Advanced Set Analytics: Every set is recorded as a "Lap". Review exactly how many points you won while serving vs. returning, set by set.

What's new
*** V16.3 : Score Summary and Draws ***
• Score Summary: when a set or round ends, the final score now stays on the screen with your running total, so you can call it out to the organiser. Any button carries on, and BACK still corrects the last point.
• Draws in Mexicano and Americano: with Combined Points, a round that finishes level is now recorded as a draw instead of forcing a sudden death point. That is how a fixed combined limit is meant to score. Switch it off in Menu, then Scoring.
• Undo now reaches back through New Set and New Game in a single press.
*** V16.2 : Total Points and Match Record ***
• Total Points: in Mexicano and Americano the match summary now shows the points you scored across the whole session, the number most organisers write down.
• Match record: the summary also shows sets or rounds won, tied and lost, as W:4 T:2 L:1.
• Fixed: a Mexicano level on rounds could be saved to Garmin Connect as a draw even when you were well ahead on points. The winner is decided on rounds alone now, so the watch and Connect always agree.
*** V16.1 : Pro Sets ***
• Pro Sets: play a longer set, first to 9 games instead of 6, with the tie-break at 8-8. Open Menu, then Scoring, then Set Length. Normal Padel only, and you can switch mid-match.
• The Tie Break menu item now shows the score it starts at, 6-6 or 8-8, so it always matches the set length you chose.
• Fixed: a set won on a tie-break now records its own Lap in Garmin Connect. Before, that set had no lap at all and its serve and return points were counted into the next set.
*** V16.0 : Match History, Tap Scoring & Stability ***
• Tap to Score: tap the upper half of the screen for the opponent's point and the lower half for yours. Swiping still works exactly as before.
• Match History: your last 10 matches are now stored on the watch. Open Menu, then Match History, to review any of them set by set, with the final score and duration.
• Change Server Faster: hold the Up button to switch the serving team without opening the menu.
• New Game (Mex/Am): close the current round early and start the next one, just like New Set does in Normal Padel.
• Fitness Coach: a new menu item that opens the Smash Coach padel programme on your phone.
• Tidier Menu: scoring rules now live in their own Scoring menu, and Connect Speaker moved into Settings.
• Stability: fixed a crash when saving a long Mexicano/Americano match, and a crash that could happen after switching to another app and back. Also fixed the Mex/Am match summary, which showed 0-0.
• Lighter and Faster: the app is around 10 KB smaller and uses noticeably less memory, which helps most on older watches.
*** V15.4 : New Set ***
• New Set: Start a new match/set in the Normal Padel mode via the mid-workout menu.
*** V15 - V15.3 : Silver Point + Server Colour ***
• Silver Point: Switches to a Golden Point after one deuce (sits between Star Point and Golden Point). Find it in Menu, then Scoring.
• Server Colour: the service ball now shows who should serve in doubles. Green for the 1st server, yellow for the 2nd. Combined with the ball's position, you can tell all four servers apart at a glance.
*** V12 - V15 : Score Broadcasting ***
• Score Broadcast: Connect your phone or speakers to padelsmash.app and the web app reads your scores aloud!
• Included Mex/Am scoring in the match summary on the stats tab in Garmin Connect.
*** V10 - V12 : Mexicano Support & Advanced Analytics ***
• New Formats: Fully integrated support for Americano and Mexicano matches with custom point limits and server rotation logic.
• Multitasking: Enabled background use of native watch features (Music, Garmin Pay) during active matches.
• Deep Analytics: Every set is now recorded as a dedicated "Lap" in the FIT file. Added granular performance metrics for Points Scored when Serving vs. Returning per set.
