Rival Darts keeps score while you throw at your own board, and gives you an opponent who throws like a person. It is a darts scorer for 501, practice and stats, for anyone with a board at home and nobody to play against.
Most dartbots hand you a score from a table: 45, then 60, then a checkout that never misses. Rival throws darts. He picks a bed, aims for it and lands somewhere near it, the way a human hand does.
Meet Rival
You see every dart arrive on the board, with a ring where he was aiming. When he goes for double 16 and lands just outside the wire, you watch it happen.
Tell the app what you usually average and Rival starts there, so your first leg is already a fair one. After every leg he moves towards your recent form, a few points at a time, so one lucky leg does not swing him. Average more and he climbs with you.
A scoreboard that keeps up
The score bar works like the graphic on television: whoever is throwing is lit up, with the score left big enough to read from the oche. On a finish you see the checkout route, built around your favourite double.
Every visit is saved the moment you enter it, so a leg survives a phone call, a closed app or a flat battery. Your average, first nine average and checkout percentage are counted properly, including the darts you missed at a double.
- Big keys you can hit from a step away
- A referee who calls every score, up to one hundred and eighty
- Single legs or matches of first to two or three legs
- Practice games such as Around the Clock
