Court Shade

Your court

Four answers and a fix on the map. Everything else comes off the scan, and none of it leaves this phone.

What it is

What do you call it? Whatever you'd say out loud. It names the reading, so keep it the same if you rescan.

How many courts on the property? Nearly always one. Two means two separate readings — a court twenty metres away is a different court.

Where it is

Needed for the sun, and for nothing else. The scan is taken standing on the court, so the phone's own fix is the court's position.

Latitude

Longitude

Postcode This is the only part of where you are that ever leaves the phone, and it is used for one thing: the weather. The exact position above stays here — the sun is worked out on this device. A forecast is the same across a whole postcode, so that is all it is asked for.

Which way it runs

The bearing down the court, baseline to baseline Stand at one baseline looking at the other and read your compass. This is what tells you when the sun will be in your eyes — which is not a shade problem and ruins more matches.

It has floodlights Leave this off unless it really does. With no lights the last hit of the day is set by the sunset, and that is most of what this app is for.

Nothing here is sent anywhere. There is no account and no server — your court's position, its reading and its year all live in this phone's own storage. That is deliberate: it is the coordinates of your garden.
