Getting the app

Last updated on Aug 24, 2026

Tennis Ladder is free on the App Store and Google Play.

The app gives you push notifications, offline-first speed, and the tennis-shot sound when you're challenged. Already installed? It updates itself.

Prefer not to install? You can add Tennis Ladder to your home screen and get the same experience — it's the same app underneath (challenges, results, brackets, notifications):

  • iPhone (Safari): open the site → Share button → Add to Home Screen.
  • Android (Chrome): open the site → you'll usually be prompted, or menu (⋮) → Add to Home screen.

The home-screen widget (iPhone)

Put your ladder on your home screen — position, win–loss record and your next match, on a glanceable card.

  1. Long-press an empty spot on your home screen until the apps wiggle.
  2. Tap Edit (top-left) then Add Widget — on older iPhones it's a +.
  3. Search Tennis Ladder, pick the small or medium size, tap Add Widget.

It updates itself through the day, and tapping it opens the app on Your Serve. If it ever says "Open Tennis Ladder to sign in", opening the app once sorts it. Signing out (or using Sign out everywhere) blanks the widget too — it never shows your details while you're signed out.
