Padelar - Padel score & server tracker
· v1.2608081
About
Padelar is your on-court companion: complete Padel scorekeeping and fitness tracking on your Garmin watch. It keeps the score, remembers who serves and from which side, and records the match as a Padel activity in Garmin Connect. All you have to do is play.
| Key Features |
- Warmup Tracking: Track your heart rate and time before the first point. You set the rules first, then warm up, and only pick the server once the racket has been spun.
- Flexible Match Formats: 1, 3 or 5 sets, Endless or Pro Set (a single set to 9 games, the format of most casual tournaments) — all in a single choice.
- Three Deuce Rules: Advantages, Golden Point, or the professional tour's Star Point: two advantages are played, and if the game returns to deuce a third time, a single point decides it.
- Super Tiebreak: If the match is level going into the deciding set, you can settle it with a 10-point super tiebreak.
- Serve Tracking: Never argue about whose turn it is again. Padelar follows the server through the rotation and shows which side of the court he serves from: both teams, your team only, or off.
- Undo: Called the wrong point? One press takes it back, including advantages and the deciding point.
- Fitness Tracking: Real-time heart rate, with average HR, max HR, distance and calories at the end.
- Statistics: The winner, sets won and the games of each set are saved to your Garmin Connect history.
- Multi-Language: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and Dutch.
| App Customization |
- Look: Five color themes for the court and the teams, from plain black and white to a night match.
- Custom Names: Name both teams and all four players. Playing with someone else tonight? Switch back to the default names from the match menu.
- Match Defaults: Set your usual format, deuce rule and warmup preference once.
- Sound and Animation: Turn them on or off.
| App Usage |
Before the match
- Start the app before you warm up. You first choose whether to track the warmup, then the rules: Sets (1, 3, 5, Endless or Pro Set), Deuce Breaker (Advantages, Golden Point or Star Point) and Track Server (Both teams, My team or None).
- If you track the warmup, it starts now: your heart rate and elapsed time are on screen. Press Start when you are done.
Who serves first
- Choose the Starting Team and, for each tracked team, the 1st Server: Left Player, Right Player or Random. This is how Padelar follows the serve rotation all match.
During the match
- The scoreboard shows Team A on top and Team B below, with Sets, Games and Points. The court shows who is serving and from which side.
- Point for Team A: Up button, or tap the left half of the screen.
- Point for Team B: Down button, or tap the right half.
- Undo the last point: Back button.
- On a Golden Point or a Star Point no side is highlighted, because the receiving team chooses where to receive.
- The Menu button lets you resume, end or reset the match, switch between custom and default team names, and open the help screen.
After the match
- Padelar shows the winner and the final score, then asks whether to save the activity. The match — score, sets, games and heart rate — lands in Garmin Connect alongside your others.
