Open the appWhat changed in 9Darts, and when, newest first. A new version never interrupts a game: it waits, and offers itself on the first screen.
- Counting practice
- Call each dart, the app throws it, and you say what is left: ten numbers, a verdict on every call and every count, and how long each answer took — for your own record, with nothing running out.
- Four new guides, and a date on every page
- Every nine-dart finish, counted by the app’s own rules; darts averages worked out; the pub games the app does not score; and a longer guide to finishing. Every page now says the day its words last changed.
- Eleven languages
- The app and these pages in English and Slovak, and in beta in German, Dutch, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. A language in beta says so on every page until somebody whose first language it is has read it through.
- Stop a drill and keep it
- A drill can be stopped where it stands and kept: its darts stay in your history, though a run cut short never counts as a best.
- Checkout practice
- Twenty finishes worth knowing, from 170 down to 8, with three visits at each — or ten of them, when time is short. The coach sends you here when your checkout rate is what holds you back.
- Play from a keyboard, and a caller
- Type a dart, or walk the board with the arrow keys. The caller says each visit aloud, in a voice that lives on the phone.
- The numpad
- Type what a visit scored instead of tapping every dart: one number, and the leg moves on.
- Your name, claimed
- Claim a player name so nobody else plays a duel under it, and see your record against every opponent you have played.
- Everything free
- The statistics, the history and every drill are free, on every phone. Nothing is for sale.
- Play, Practice, Stats, Settings
- A tab bar at the foot of the screen, so every part of the app is one tap away — and gone during a game, which keeps the whole screen.
- The app at 9darts.cc
- An address of its own, free to open on any phone, with the first guides beside it: the checkouts and the rules.
- A bot to play against
- Five levels, set to three-dart averages of 40 to 100 and measured in legs played through the same scorer as yours.
- Statistics and a coach
- Your averages, first nine, checkout rate and doubles, worked out from the games you have played, and a coach that turns them into what to practise next.
- Drills with a score to beat
- Round the board on doubles or trebles, and Bob’s 27: practice with a number at the end of it.
- Two phones, one game
- Score one game from two phones with a room code. Scoring never waits for the network, and if the server is lost, the game carries on as a local one.
