Keeping score

Tap a team's half to give it the point. Swipe up on a half to add a point, swipe down to take one back when the referee overrules. Turn the phone sideways for a board the whole hall can read.

Correcting a mistake

The undo button in the top-left reverses the last thing you did. To fix a finished set, tap its column in the set list at the top — the big digits switch to that set so you can correct it, and tapping the column again returns you to the live one.

Filming a rally

Tap the red record button before a serve and tap it again when the point is over. Only the record button stops a recording — changing the score while filming does not. The clip is saved with the score burned into the corner, showing the score as it changed during the point.

Where clips go

Clips stay on your phone until you choose to keep one. The download icon in the clips view saves it to your photo library, in an album called “Monster Block”. Deleting a clip inside the app does not remove anything you already saved to Photos.

Why it asks for photo access

To file clips into the Monster Block album, the app has to look for that album, and iOS counts that as reading your library. Monster Block never reads, indexes or uploads any other photo or video. See the privacy policy.

Storage

Video fills a phone quickly, especially at 4K. Setup → Camera offers Best, Standard or Small; Standard (1080p at 60fps) is the default, because 60fps is what makes the moment of a block readable frame by frame. Delete clips you no longer want from the clips view.

Nothing is uploaded

There is no account, no server and no network connection. Matches are files on your phone. If you delete the app, everything goes with it — so save any clip you want to keep to Photos first.


Monster Block is free, with no advertising and no tracking.
