AIR-DARTS is a darts score counter and scoreboard app for steel-tip and electronic darts. It tracks your scores automatically when paired with a supported Bluetooth dartboard or an Autodarts camera system, and falls back to fast manual entry on any board. Ten game modes cover everything from classic 501/301/701 to Cricket, Around the Clock and training drills, with AI opponents, live statistics, heatmaps, and an online multiplayer beta. It is the all-in-one companion for practice, casual games, and competition — handling the math so you can focus on your throws.

Also known as: Dart Score Counter, Darts Scoreboard, Darts Scorer, Dart Counter, Dart Zähler / Darts Zähler (German), Compteur de Fléchettes (French)

How to play

1. In X01 (501/301/701) each player starts at the chosen number and subtracts the value of each dart thrown. The goal is to reach exactly zero, and the final dart must land on a double (a "double-out" finish). The app shows checkout charts to suggest finishing combinations.
2. In Cricket the targets are 15 through 20 plus the bullseye. You "close" a number by hitting it three times (singles, doubles and triples count toward the three marks); once you have closed a number and your opponent has not, further hits on it score points. Close all targets and lead on points to win.
3. Other modes (Around the World/Clock, Half It, Shanghai, Medley, Horse Race, Three Darts, T/D Practice) each apply their own target sequence or elimination/round rule — pick a mode and the app explains and enforces its rules and tracks the score for you.
4. Bluetooth dartboard: Pair a supported BLE board; it auto-connects and reports each hit automatically.
5. Autodarts camera (WiFi): The app connects to the Autodarts system over WebSocket and reads detected darts (including their board coordinates) in real time.
6. Manual entry: Tap the on-screen dartboard to record each throw — works with any board, including standard steel dartboards without electronics.
7. Bluetooth boards auto-connect when in range; the app scans and pairs the BLE dartboard, then detects scores automatically. Supported models are listed in the app's help screen and the store description.
8. For Autodarts, the app uses a WebSocket connection to the camera system over WiFi; once connected it tracks darts and can render a 2D board and heatmaps.
9. If no hardware is available, switch to manual entry — every game mode supports it.
