Keeping score

How do I start a game?

Tap New Game, pick a popular game or type your own name, add players, and tap Start Game. TallyPal fills in the usual scoring rules for popular games, and you can change them before you start.

How do I add or subtract points?

Tap + or – on a player to change their score by one. Touch and hold either button for larger amounts, or tap the score to open the keypad. The keypad can do math, so you can type 250 + 75.

I added points to the wrong player. How do I undo it?

Tap Undo in the game’s toolbar. You can undo several changes in a row.

Can the lowest score win?

Yes. Set Winner to Lowest Score when you start the game, as in golf or Hearts. You can also set a target score, a starting score (like 501 for Darts) and a minimum score.

What happens when someone reaches the target?

TallyPal asks whether you want to end the game, so you can finish the round first if your house rules say so.

How do I set who goes first?

After adding players on the New Game screen, tap Reorder and drag players into turn order.

Apple TV and live sharing

How do I show a game on Apple TV?

Open the game, tap Share and choose Show on Apple TV, then pick your TV. Your iPhone or iPad and Apple TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. See Apple TV setup for the full steps.

My Apple TV doesn’t show up.
  • Make sure TallyPal is open on the Apple TV and both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  • On Apple TV, open TallyPal Settings and check that Allow Show on Apple TV is on.
  • On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network and make sure TallyPal is turned on.
How do friends follow the score on their phones?

In the game, tap Share › Share Live Scores. Friends open TallyPal, tap Join a Game, and scan the QR code or type the 6-character code. They need to be nearby, on the same Wi-Fi network or with Bluetooth on.

How do I sign in on Apple TV?

Open Settings in TallyPal on Apple TV and choose Sign In. Scan the code on the TV with your iPhone camera and approve the sign-in in TallyPal. Your iPhone needs to be signed in to your TallyPal Account.

TallyPal Account and your data

Do I need a TallyPal Account?

No. Without an account your games stay on your device. Sign in with Apple, Google or email if you want your games and players synced across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

How do I bring over games from an earlier version?

Earlier versions of TallyPal saved games in iCloud. Go to Settings and tap Import from iCloud.

How do I delete my account and data?

Go to Settings › TallyPal Account and tap Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and synced games from our servers. Games on your device stay until you delete them or the app.

What does TallyPal collect?

Only what’s needed to sync your account, plus what the advertising partner uses for ads in the free version. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Premium

What does Premium include?

Unlimited games and players, player photos and initials, custom score buttons, full game rules with scoring details and tips, and no ads.

I bought Premium but it isn’t showing.

Open Settings, tap the Premium banner, and choose Restore Purchases. Make sure you’re signed in to the same Apple Account you bought with.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose TallyPal. Cancel at least 24 hours before it renews.
