Captured on iPhone. The overlay you see in the scoring preview is the same one composited into the live video.

Scoring

Whoever is scoring gets the whole match on one screen — scores, who is at the table, and every ball still on it. Tapping a ball pockets it and it disappears from the broadcast overlay immediately. Undo and redo cover every action, so a mis-tap during a rack is never a problem.

Match Setup: 8-ball or 9-ball, race to or handicap, race length, player names, teams and accent colours — **Match setup**Game, race length or handicap targets, names, teams and accent colours.

Getting started

Both phones run the same app; you pick a role when you open it. They pair over Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, so a pool hall with no usable network is not a problem — and the streaming phone carries the broadcast over cellular.

Role picker: stream this phone, or score from this phone — **Pick a role**One phone films and streams, the other scores.

PoolCaster Pro: 1-week free trial then $4.99 per month, with feature list and restore purchases — **What Pro costs**Streaming needs a subscription. Scoring never does.

Scoring from an Apple Watch

PoolCaster also runs on Apple Watch as a scoring companion, paired to the streaming phone over WatchConnectivity. Scores, the race target and who is at the table are all on the watch face, with undo — so you can keep score between shots without picking a phone up at all. The graphics on the live stream update from a tap on your wrist exactly as they do from the phone.

Like phone scoring, the Watch is free: only the phone doing the streaming needs a subscription.

PoolCaster on Apple Watch: Ronan Fahey 2, Marco Silva 1, race to 5, with an undo button — **On the wrist**Scores on one screen, the ball tray on the next — swipe between them. Tap a player to win a rack; undo is one tap away.

PoolCaster on Apple Watch: ball tray showing seven balls left on the table, with a new rack button — **On the wrist**Scores on one screen, the ball tray on the next — swipe between them. Tap a player to win a rack; undo is one tap away.

Only the streaming phone needs Pro. If a friend is keeping score on their own phone, or you are scoring from your Watch, that side is free.
