HoopNest 3x3 — a tracker that already knows the rules
Most stat apps are 5x5 apps with the numbers changed. This one counts one point inside and two from the arc, runs a 12-second shot clock, ends the game at 21 and knows what the seventh team foul means. Everything is saved on your own device: no account, no server, nothing to renew.

Two pages before you decide
The quick start is free — no email, no purchase. It gets you from download to tip-off in about five minutes, and it tells you exactly which 3x3 rules the app already handles. The full manual comes with the app.

The rules it already handles
1 and 2 points, not 2 and 3
Inside the arc is one point, beyond the 6.75 m arc is two, every free throw is one. The buttons say 1PT and 2PT, and every average, percentage and chart in the app runs on that scale.
A 12-second shot clock
Its own box beside the game clock, counting down with it. It goes back to twelve on a made basket, a made free throw, a rebound at either end, a steal or a turnover — an offensive rebound resets it too, which is the 3x3 rule, not the 5x5 one.
First to 21
The scoreboard shows the target. Reach it and a banner names the winner — but the app never ends the game for you, so a mistap is still fixable.
Overtime with no clock
Press Go to OT and the app works out the number: the tied score plus two. That number then sits on the scoreboard until somebody reaches it.
Team fouls, both sides
The 7th, 8th and 9th give the other team two free throws; the 10th gives two and the ball. Your count adds up from the fouls you tap, and the opponent has its own button.
Nobody fouls out
FIBA 3x3 does not disqualify a player for accumulated personal fouls, so that limit ships switched off. Leagues that do use one can set it in Settings.
Every one of those is a number you can change. Street leagues and school tournaments bend the rules constantly, so the format, the minutes, the target, the overtime margin, the shot clock and both foul thresholds are all settings.
Coaching both formats?
HoopNest for the 5x5 game and HoopNest 3x3 for the half-court game are separate apps, because the two versions genuinely count differently. If you need both, the bundle is $14.99 instead of $19.98 — both apps, every PDF guide, one payment.
For the parent in the stands
Switch to one-player mode and the app gets out of the way. No scoreboard, no game clock, no other children's numbers — just your own, with an on-court switch that counts the minutes they actually played. Type the final score in afterwards and the season record still builds itself.
What's inside
Live game tracker
Tap the player, then tap what happened. Nine buttons in Basic mode, thirteen in Full, with undo above everything else and keyboard shortcuts on a laptop.
Half-court shot chart
The real 3x3 court — 15 by 11 metres, the 6.75 m arc, corner lines 0.9 m off each sideline. Eight zones, each with points per shot, on a scale where 0.55 is average.
Parent mode — one player
Follow one child and nothing else. No team score, no clock, no substitutions: a court/bench switch counts the minutes they actually played.
A profile per child
Two kids in two different squads? Each gets their own team, roster and season in the same file — and one backup covers both.
Season table
29 stat fields, six built-in column layouts, sortable by any column, switchable between totals and per-game averages.
Advanced, rebuilt for 3x3
eFG% counts an arc basket as double, not as one-and-a-half. TS% drops the factor of two the 5x5 formula uses. Four Factors and per-100 ratings on top.
Badges
Twelve awarded from the numbers with thresholds set for ten-minute games, plus sixteen you hand out yourself for what a box score cannot see.
Notes
Six team sections, per-player notes and a note on every game — so next week starts where last week ended.
Data, your way
Five CSV exports, a full JSON backup and its import, three print layouts and two standalone HTML downloads. Shot coordinates come out in metres.
English and Lithuanian
Every screen, every stat name and both PDF guides, switched from the top bar at any moment.
How it works
- Open the free trial, or download it and keep it on your phone — fifteen games, every screen included, about one tournament day.
- Buy for $9.99 and download the full version — instantly, no account needed.
- Add three or four players, tip off, and tap: the player, then what happened.
- Read the box score, the shot chart and the season whenever you want — all stored on your device.
One thing worth knowing: the app saves into whichever copy you are using. Games recorded in the version you opened here stay here, and games recorded in a downloaded copy stay in that file. Moving between the two is one click — Data → Export backup, thenImport backup in the other.
Honest limits
- It is not a live scoreboard for spectators — nobody else sees your numbers while you tap them.
- It is not an official FIBA scoresheet. If a referee needs a signed one, this sits beside it, not instead of it.
- It does not sync between devices by itself. Export and import move your season on purpose.
- It does not watch video or read jerseys. Every number comes from your thumb.
