Everything iScore tracks, without staring at your phone.
iScore is the deepest manual scorebook on the App Store. The catch is the word manual: scoring a game means both thumbs and your eyes, all game. Bleacher Notes captures the same at-bats, pitches, and season stats from a single spoken sentence, so you can keep score and still watch the game.
- How you score
- Voice vs taps
- For parents
- Free forever
- Season stats
- Both
iScore is a dedicated, power-user scorekeeping app with very deep manual play-by-play and hundreds of stats.
Score a single play
Between pitches, one-handed in the stands.
iScore
Tap through batter, result, location, and each runner. Deep, precise, and entirely hands-and-eyes.
Bleacher Notes
Hold one button, say the play out loud, release. The parser fills in the menus.
Learn the app
Your first game as scorekeeper.
iScore
A power tool with a real learning curve. Mastery takes a few games and rewards the dedicated statistician.
Bleacher Notes
If you can describe the play to the person next to you, you can score it. There's almost nothing to learn.
Watch your kid's at-bat
The reason you came.
iScore
Eyes down on the scorebook grid while the play happens in front of you.
Bleacher Notes
Eyes on the field. The phone sits in your peripheral vision; your thumb is on record.
Pay for it
What it costs a scoring parent.
iScore
A paid app, typically a one-time purchase, with a separate add-on to let family follow along live.
Bleacher Notes
Free for parents, forever: voice scoring, season stats, and full at-bat history. Paid tiers are optional coach analytics, never the scorebook.
Share the game with family
Grandparents, the parent stuck at work.
iScore
Remote family can follow live through a companion app, with premium features behind a subscription.
Bleacher Notes
Going live is free for everyone, and your first two live watches are free; a $19.99/year pass adds unlimited watching, replays, and clips.
Where iScore still wins
If you are a dedicated team statistician who wants maximum manual control over every fielding decision and a one-time price with no subscription, iScore's depth is hard to beat. Bleacher Notes is built for the opposite person: the parent who wants the scorebook to keep itself so they can watch the game.
Switching from iScore?
Is Bleacher Notes as accurate as iScore?
Yes. Bleacher Notes pairs a baseball-specific parser with a deterministic scoring engine, so stat math runs on fixed scoring rules, never on an AI guess. Ambiguous plays are flagged for one-tap confirmation rather than silently scored. The difference from iScore is the input method (voice vs taps), not the integrity of the resulting scorebook.
Can I move my iScore history to Bleacher Notes?
Bleacher Notes supports one-way CSV import from GameChanger today. If you keep stats in iScore and want to bring them over, email hello@bleachernotes.com and we'll help you find the best path.
Is Bleacher Notes really free?
Voice scoring, season stats, and full at-bat history are free for parents, forever, and the free tier is not a stripped-down trial. Optional paid tiers add coach analytics ($59/year for one player, $99/year for a coach's roster) and a $19.99/year pass for watching, replays, and clips.
