Tennis, pickleball and padel scoring: half-folded, the score above the fold and taps below
Does Serve work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, since version 1.3 on October 10, 2026, and seen in a simulator screenshot: set down half-folded, the score stays above the fold and big buttons for the next point sit below.
- Simulator verifiedTyler Hillsman, the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 17, 2026, with an unframed screenshot of the app in the iPhone Duo simulator in the press kit (servescoring.app). The App Store seller is 1881 Digital, LLC. The release notes for version 1.3 (released October 10, 2026, per the press kit) add iPhone Duo layouts for book and tabletop use; the current version, 1.4 (October 16), carries the same notes.
Adapted for the fold
- Book · Partly folded
Score above, taps below
Set down half-folded like a laptop, the upper half shows who serves next, from which side, and both scores, and the lower half has a large button for each side to award the next point, with the match clock, undo and pause.

Held like a book
There's also a layout for holding the phone half-folded like a book, the release notes say.
About Serve
Serve keeps score by the rulebook for tennis, pickleball and padel: deuce and advantage, tiebreaks, pickleball side-outs and server numbers, padel’s golden point and doubles service order, so it’s always clear who serves next and from which side. Tap who won each rally and Serve does the rest, with undo, a recap at the end and a result you can share. The Apple Watch app scores a whole match on its own. The free version covers all three sports and your five most recent matches; Serve Pro adds unlimited history, custom formats, a point-by-point timeline and head-to-head stats. There’s no account and no cloud.
Version 1.3, released October 10, 2026, adds iPhone Duo layouts for book and tabletop use. Set the phone down half-folded by the court and the score stays above the fold, with big buttons for the next point below. The developer’s press kit has a screenshot of that layout from the iPhone Duo simulator.

Checked the unframed iPhone Duo screenshot in the developer's press kit: 2007 × 2853 pixels, the size of the iPhone Duo simulator's open display held upright. It shows a pickleball match in the tabletop layout: the next server and both teams' scores on the upper half, and a large button for each team, the match clock, undo and pause on the lower half.
Poses shown: Book. These are observations of the evidence, not a test of every interaction.
App version: Not recorded in this evidence. Environment: iPhone Duo simulator.
One still screenshot with no app or Xcode version. The layout for holding the phone like a book isn't shown, and neither are the cover or the open display. No build was tested.
