Can I use Android to score BallerCam games? – BallerCam

Not yet. BallerCam Scoring currently requires a supported iOS device running the BallerCam app.

Android devices cannot currently be used to keep score or manage live scoring controls during a BallerCam game.

📱 What Device Should I Use for Scoring?

You can use:

The iPhone currently filming the game, or
A secondary iOS device running the BallerCam app

Using a secondary iOS device is recommended because the filming device can remain mounted and focused on recording while another person manages the score.

The secondary scoring device can be an older supported iPhone or iPad running the BallerCam app. The iPhone 13 Pro or newer requirement applies to filming, not secondary-device scoring.

👤 Can Someone Else Use Their iOS Device to Score?

Yes.

Another person can score from their own supported iOS device as long as they:

Have the BallerCam app installed.
Sign in to their BallerCam account.
Are connected to the correct team.
Have Keep Score permission for that team.

Once the game is underway, they can find the active game from Global Home and tap Keep Score.

🎮 What Can Be Managed From the Scoring Device?

Available scoring controls depend on the sport and game setup.

They may include:

Scorekeeping
Player attribution
Game clock
Periods, quarters, halves, or sets
Fouls
Timeouts

Other sport-specific game controls

Using a second device lets the filming iPhone continue recording without interruption.
