Dart Waiter

Laposa Limited · Ireland / United Kingdom · Website

iOS

A free iPhone app from the software agency Laposa (Dublin and Belfast) that scores darts with the phone's camera. Detection runs on the phone, and the board is calibrated automatically from four reference points. The App Store listing calls the app experimental, and game modes, stats and online play are not documented.

Upfront is the cheapest complete purchase without a dartboard. Per year is what removes free-tier limits. 3 years is upfront plus three years of that. Subscription prices are shown as the seller lists them.

What you need

An iPhone or iPod touch on iOS 15.1 or later and a dartboard. Laposa gives no guidance on phone position, distance or lighting, and does not say whether steel-tip or soft-tip boards are supported or whether an account is needed.
