Built for iPad
Film every game like a pro.
One iPad becomes a broadcast booth: a real scoreboard burned into the picture, instant replays, and your own clips — intros, player highlights, sponsor spots — rolled in live. Yeah, I know. This is awesome.
Do it all on the iPad — or add a phone to run the score
One person can run it. Two is easier. Pair a phone and somebody on the bench keeps the clock while you stay on the play.
Call the game like it’s on TV.
Live to your YouTube channel at 1080p — scoreboard, replays, commentary and all.
See it
Choose your sport, create your teams, customize your board…
…then press record.
Pick from six sports, load your team's names, colors and logos, and pick one of five board designs. Replays and clips at the touch of a button. Every frame below came straight out of the app with the scoreboard already burned into the picture.
Across the top
Clips and Replays open their bins. Grab Replay takes the last ten seconds. Go Live starts the stream, Board hides the scoreboard for a moment, Setup is everything else. The recording timer and the live mic meters sit to the left, so you can see the audio is really arriving.
Down the sides
Score for each team, big enough to hit without looking. Under them, whatever that sport actually tracks — shots, penalties and the power play for hockey and lacrosse, downs and timeouts for football, timeouts for basketball, and the bases, the count and the pitch count for baseball.
Along the bottom
The clock, with −10 and +10 for when you were late on the whistle, the period button, and record. Nothing is more than one tap away, because a menu during a game is a goal you missed.
The clip bin
Intros. Players. Sponsor spots.
Load your own video before the game — a player card for every kid, a season intro, the sponsor's spot — and roll it live in one tap. The scoreboard steps aside while it plays and comes back when it's done.
File clips into groups you name yourself — Players Show Sponsors — and they stay on the iPad all season. A grid when you find things by looking, a list when you find them by name.
How it stacks up
The most features, for the least money.
Priced against the other apps that put a scoreboard on youth sports video. Same job, on the iPad you already own, for a quarter of what the closest one charges to unlock everything.

Competitor pricing checked August 2026 from each company’s own published material and App Store listings. Each figure is the cost to unlock everything that company offers for a year: ScoreCam’s Branding + Live Stream tier, GameChanger’s Premium tier, sidelineHD’s sidelinePRO. All three have a free or cheaper tier that does less. Blank cells mean we could not confirm the feature either way, not that it is missing. If any of this goes out of date, tell us and we will fix it.

On purpose
What it doesn't do.
A camera app that films children has no business collecting anything. So it doesn't. Everything below is a design decision, not a feature we haven't gotten to.
- account to create, and no password to forget
- cloud upload — your video never leaves the iPad on its own
- analytics, trackers or advertising SDKs
- access to your photo library — the app can only add to it
- data sold, shared or handed to anybody
Why this exists
Built by a hockey dad, for hockey dads…
…(and all sports parents).
I've stood in a cold rink at 6 a.m. holding a phone sideways, and what I got back was two hours of shaky video where you can't tell who's winning, what period it is, or whether that goal was the one everybody stood up for.
That's not a game. That's footage. So I built the thing I wanted in my hands: one iPad, one tripod, and a broadcast that a grandmother in another state can watch and follow. Youth sports has been filmed like an afterthought for twenty years. It deserves better than a phone held sideways.
