My Tennis Stats App Reviews

This is a very useful application, the latest release includes service winners which is great! This app just keeps getting better!

I use this app for a high school tennis team. Nothing helps kids learn more then when they can see what your teaching for themselves. Plus you can go back and see what they have improved on by looking at old matches.

Have used this for my high school team and works well. In the service "out" category, it would helpful to know if serve was long or into the net for future adjustments.

Very good app. Helps keep track of all stats. If you are a parent of a junior player and you get stressed out watching your child play then this is for you. This app helps you relieve some of that stress. How? You ask, well the key to this app is learning to input the proper strokes which in turn forces you as the parent to focus on the point and not as much on your child. You will be distracted emotionally because your trying to input the strokes. Believe me! I can now sit thru a whole match with out getting for frustrated. The only possible negative is that there should be a timer that can be turned on and off. Not an issue but it would be nice to have. Great App!!!

Just wanted to update: all the early bugs are gone and the user interface is cleaner and the stats are more thorough. Good just got better! Follow up to my earlier review: I am very impressed with how quickly the developers respond to feedback and bugs. I have made suggestions that were already being worked on and have found the app only getting better with time. Warning-you have to practice with it. Once you do, you'll find a good rhythm and keep better stats. On to my original review: TennisStats is better that Tennis Trakker because it has an 'undo' button for mistakes, it supports both singles and doubles, and it features various scoring formats (8 game pro-sets, third set tiebreaker, and even five set matches. I like that the scoreboard stays at the top throughout the point tracking. You can add a point without tracking if you accidently miss one. I'd like an overall unforced/forced error summary in addition to the specific shot summary and the buttons could be a little crisper (no need for the cute tennis player background). Better value than Tennis Trakker, too.

Paid my $10, played with for 30 minute to get aquainted. The next day I recorded my son's match and seemed to review fine. Then the app crashed and will no longer properly launch. Rebooted iPod touch by holding top-left button and bottom round button until unit "powered off". My Tennis Stats app still won't run. I'd probably be OK if it still ran, but it's currently useless. Next time, I'll buy a program that offers an "demo/lite" evaluation version.

Stay away. I get fatal crashes, and there is no way to communicate with the company. Their internal email from the app bounces.

This is an excellent app for any tennis player, parent or coach looking to get a handle on what is happening in a persons game. I am a coach at Ohio State, and we have been using this app for a couple of months now. I have used 3-4 of the other competitors and this is far and away the BEST! It is very easy to use, simple to teach someone how to use and is also very powerful. The app continues to see updates that add more to its feature set. The ability to send an email with the stat results to the other coaches and the players following use is a great feature. Give this one a try.

We use this app and really like it at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Simple enough that our kids can track matches for other kids, but quality enough information to be very helpful in painting a complete picture of a match!

I have tested a couple different apps for putting in tennis stats. "My Tennis Stats" have them beat hands down. I actually use this while I watch matches on TV as well. Really great!! Chip has been very easy to converse with as well. Can't beat the support.

This app is awsome

This app has features which its competitor, Tennis Trakker Pro, does not: no-ad scoring, doubles play, 8 game pro-sets, and undo. It does not record service winners (they are recorded as regular ground strokes) and the user interface is cluttered (background images more salient than icons, difficult to read text, cluttered icons, etc.) Tennis Trakker Pro DOES record service winners and the interface is cleaner (with the exception of that annoying "Is this correct?" dialog box you get with every point!) Bottom line: Tennis Trakker Pro is missing too much to be useful (and it's more expensive) so for the money, My Tennis Stats wins.

Good and useful application but some reporting functions are missing. For example, it would be very useful to be able to print the full match as it happened since the data is entered sequentially, it would be nice to have the opportunity to relive the match after. I use it to track my 9 year old's matches and it is very useful but I hope that the releases will add a functionality such as the one I mentioned above, it would also be useful to be able to add more data on serves. It's either an ace, a foot fault, a double, or it's in... Would be nice to be able to see patterns of the 2 players. Last, I would like to have the possibility to add comments at change overs. Of course, I would be more than happy to pay more for all this JM

For many years, I have tracked tennis matches as a simple judge of progress in a players development. I have this and the other tracking app. Simply put, I think this is a MUCH better app. First this one accurately tracks double matches I just tracked one last week and was very pleased. No crashes, nada. The process of tracking a match is a "work flow" process, you have to correctly assign the server, you must understand that a "forced" error is a positive point for the forcer. These little details must be assigned correctly for accurate data. It takes practice to get it right. Further, the app provides with better data. Last, the developers appear to be updating regularly. I look forward to the developers ideas on their updates.

It's a very good way to chart tennis matches. It has been the best app ever

Very user-friendly and useful. I use this to track tons of our players' NCAA matches, love it!!

I recently tracked a match for my mixed doubles team and got this responce from the players "This is AMAZING information, thanks so much!" As a tennis teaching pro, this seems to a useful app.

Excellent easy to use app. Many different stats available which can be specifically tailored to the users needs. Great for on court coaching and instant feedback.

1. Unable to track stats over a season unless using the website, which requires an expensive subscription fee. Given the already expensive cost of the app, this seems unnecessary. 2. Some uploaded info is incorrect (serve %, for one.) 3. A few crash issues, which hopefully will be addressed soon. 4. Unclear (to me) the difference between "service winner" and "no return" stat options. 5. Need for match types to add flexiblity for sets of less than 6 games (some junior tournaments use this). User set parameters for number of games, sets, and tiebreaker types would be helpful. However, the match types listed cover most adult formats. 6. Needs an upgrade to the interface graphics, but button sizes are perfect the way they are. 7. Needs persistent match preferences to eliminate the need to toggle the same options for every new match. The actual in-game stat tracking is excellent, and after looking at over a dozen stat apps, this one is the most complete, with the simplest interface to use. Though you can opt to use graphical ball placement (which I find impossible to do in real time when watching a match) you can turn off this function if you don't want/need it. Summary: biggest negative: seasonal stat tracking cost is prohibitive-- should be included in the price or should allow data storage on device. Biggest positive-- robust stat tracking. Thanks.

I think I'm going to look for something else. This app is useless as it has too many bugs in it. The interface is too busy and too hard to use. I used it for a day to chart a match and it crashed at the first point of the 10 point tie-break. Now I can't even start the app again, that means all the recorded stats are gone! - Awkward interface - Crashes too easily - Can't choose 8 game pro-set (why is it there if you can't use it?) - 10pt in lieu of 3rd set match type doesn't work. It crashes in the tie-break - Can't launch the app now

..and that of your children too! This app is absolutely one of the best for thoroughness and ease of use. The wealth of information I can carry home or to my son's coach after a match, simply by little more than keeping score is worth its weight in gold!

This App is fantastic! I used it for awhile now. Easy to enter stats and new stats are added with each new upgrade. Developers are very open to suggestions and upgrade advice. I'm very happy and it keeps getting better all the time!

I wouldn't know how to watch a match without this. They are very friendly when "bugs" creep in with iOS updates. Very user friendly. I've done 100's of junior matches!

I'm still getting used to this app and get a little frustrated sometimes but that is largely due to user error. I wish there was a simple back button to go back a screen. There may be and I am missing it. I read that if you are one of those anxious parents watching your junior play tennis, it is helpful to keep stats or something to stay occupied. I plan on using this app for her next match.

I tried this app for the first time last night, to track a 4.0 doubles usta match. Didn't know what to expect. Entering data while following match is fairly easy, but you really need to pay attention to the court a interruption can compromise your results if you get distracted. Did not have any issues with crashing at all, in fact after first set emailed set details to someone, really cool. Did have a glitch at the 10 pointer in leiu of third set, but overall, this app is perfect for what you need it for. Was able to send two sets of stats to players, and numbers don't lie. Serve percentages and net and groundstrokes numbers told the accurate story of the match and showed these players what they need to work on. I would say if someone sent me these stats, without actually being at the match, I could tell you exactly the story. Kudos to the developers as this app will only get better with the little fixes, but truly doesn't need to go much further. Would want them to complicate it to much. It really is an amazing and useful tool.

Easy to use. Can use different scoring formats. Good for both singles and doubles.

I've been using the app regularly for a few seasons now with great results. Emailing stats to parents was smooth and easy, and points are easy to track. I have used this app for best of 3 full set matches, 10-point tie breaks, and 8 game prosets. I am a player and a coach, as well as a tennis fan who will track stats of matches on TV now and then just because. If you are a tennis player/parent who wants an easy way to gain valuable data about your game, this is it! In response to reviews who were looking for a "lite" version to test first…there is one! The app does receive updates for glitches and the developer does a nice job or responding to issues and works to get them resolved - at least in my experience!

Excellent app for beginners to advanced parents or coaches. They also continually update and improve this app.

This is a great app. I've been researching apps for tracking my daughters tennis matches. What I was looking for had to be 1. Useful and provide meaningful stats 2. Easy to use and would not impact my watching her play 3. Provide options to track multiple games, aggregate stats across multiple games, produce point by point level detail, etc This app does most everthing I need. 1. The report is pretty much complete, almost too many stats, but they tell me the next version will eliminate report rows where there are no stats, making it easier to read and shorter. It does not (to my knowledge) aggregate stats across multiple matches - each match has its own report. I'd like to be able to track trends in play, but I can easily do that using a spreadsheet and importing the report 2. It's easy to use because it is icon driven, from serve to end of point. There are some options missing, such as specifics on service returns, and I'd like to see them add a feature that describes the point outcome more specifically (e.g. today it's Unforced error, baseline, groundstroke, forehand). It would be great to have icons to select wide, long, net. Using this app actually enhances my enjoyment watching my daughter play. It takes some getting used to, but once you are comfortable with the app, you actually see more of the game details because it forces you to watch more closely. I would recommend this to any Parents whose kids play competitive tennis, and want to provide their kids with fact based feedback on how they played. This is important because, we all know, a sportsman's perception of how they played is frequently very different from what the stats revealed. These reports have helped my daughter to confirm where she is weak, and surprise her to find where she is strong. She did not realize, for instance, that her service percentage (first/second) was so high, and that her percentage of points one on first serve was so high. Anyway, I recommend this highly to anyone looking for a good tennis match tracker - it's great now, and the enhancements they described for the next release are going to be even better.

I tested a couple of "Tennis Stats" apps and this one seems to strike the best balance between fulfilling the need of beginner and advanced players. It is very easy to use. I use all of the functionality except tracking ball placement since my son's play is not quite at that level but it is good to have that option. My wife only likes to keep track of the score which is fine because even at that there are certain stats I can still follow. And speaking of stats, they have been very helpful in taking away the guesswork of which shots are working or not. I definitely recommend it for all level players (and parents).

I've had the app for a few years and there have been lots of improvements over time. My sons coach always asks me about certain aspects of his matches. I can email or look up the stats for him. It's also nerve racking to watch and "having" to keep stats makes me focus, keep track of the score, and stay in the match. There are still a few things I'm trying to figure out how to properly utilize but my basic functions are great.

Not sure what the one guy is talking about, I've emailed the developers a number of times and have always gotten very quick replies. They listened to my numerous suggestions, and were great the one time I found a bug. Overall, this is a great app with fantastic support!

This is so handy after years of using pencil and paper for statistics. It is also superior to other apps I have tried because it is more comprehensive for all tournament variations. It stores past data so well and even lets me e-mail the results to opponents, teammates, and interested coaches.

I use it for my daughters tennis tournaments. Great for developing an all-around game

I've been using his app for many, many years and love the simplicity and usefulness.

I have been testing this program for my boys tennis team at Mountain Range High School this year. The program is very user-friendly and has worked very well. I would highly recommend this application for any high school coach looking to purchase a statistics program for their team(s).

It is a pretty good app. I used it for my daughter tennis tournament and works well.

I usually don't write reviews but I decided to write this one hoping to save some of you unnecessary heartburns. I'm a tennis coach and many of my students play competitive tennis so I decided to get this app to track their matches in tournaments. I managed to track several singles matches during the first few days of a tennis tournament until the following happened: I was almost done tracking a match when I heard that a heated match between a tough opponent and one of my students is about to split set. I then went to see that match and started setting up the app to track the deciding 10-point tie breaker. I entered the players' names and chose "10pt in lieu of 3rd Set" option and in the "Enter Stats" screen I edited the points so that each player won a set. That way I can start tracking the tie break. As soon as I finished logging the first point of the tie-break, the app crashed!! I quickly relaunched it but it wouldn't! I got a black screen and it goes back to the app icon. After talking to several people, I was told to delete the app and reinstall it. So now, all of my data are gone!! (Caution: don't try to reproduce the crashing bug using the above steps because it crashed on me every time!) I still had faith so after I finished tracking another singles match, I setup a new match in the app to track doubles. I tapped on the doubles icon but I still got only two player fields to enter. I then tapped on the first player field and boom, it crashed again! This time, I could restart it but found myself very nervous every time I touched an icon: I don't know when it's going to crash and now I question the integrity of the stats data. At that point, I decided to cut my losses and deleted this app.

One of my friends showed me Tennis Trakker Pro at a tournament last week-end and they really like it. After going through the reviews, I decided to buy this app instead. I used it to chart some matches and not only did it crash on me during a game, it was also really hard to use. I spent more time looking at the screen trying to use the product than watching the match. Several times, I missed the point being played so I had to use the undo function that messed up my stats. It showed negative 1 in the stats!! Later on, I used it to chart a doubles match and couldn't choose the 8 game pro set option. I tapped on it several times but it doesn't respond! What a waste of time and money! I wish I had just bought Tennis Trakker Pro instead.

This is a very good app and has people ready to help the minute something is wrong!! Very well made and is easy to use
