Feel like you’re throwing on the world stage with DartCounter, the darts scoring app that soundtracks your game with the unmistakeable voices of MasterCaller Ray Martin and announcer John McDonald. You can track your head-to-head matches and practice sessions across different game types, and compete with other players from around the globe.

What we love: The sharp-as-a-point design, clever use of your device’s camera to share your board with online opponents and range of variants – from x01 and Around the Clock to Cricket and Bob’s 27 – are all highlights. Our favourite feature, however, has to be the familiar voices of Martin and McDonald. Hearing Martin say “Game on!” at the start of a session never gets old.

Quick tip: You can have the MasterCaller call you by name by subscribing to DartCounter’s Ultimate tier, which also unlocks more in-depth stats for tracking your performance. See your best – and worst – scores across a three-dart average, your typical score using your first nine darts of each game and your checkout rate and count.
