About RefMate: Football Referee
The whole match on one screen: a clock that never stops, buttons big enough to hit without looking, and undo always where you left it. Built for referees who work real pitches — no signal, rain, gloves, and a report to hand in at the end. WHAT YOU GET • A clock that survives anything. It runs off timestamps, not a counter, so backgrounding the app, locking the screen or even a crash mid-half changes nothing. The time on your wrist is the time on the pitch. • One-tap registration. Goals, cautions, send-offs, substitutions, penalties — all one tap from the match screen. Nothing buried in a menu. • Second caution caught for you. Book a player who is already on a yellow and the app tells you before you show the card, not after. • Added time you can defend. Every stoppage is measured, and the suggestion at the end of the half is based on what actually happened. • A match report that looks official. A clean PDF with the timeline, the disciplinary record, the crew and your own signature, drawn once in Settings — shareable before you reach the dressing room. • Apple Watch that works on its own. Start the match, run the clock and register events from your wrist with the phone switched off in a locker. It reconciles with the phone later, and never drops an event. • Laws of the Game practice. Questions grounded in the official IFAB text, each one showing the Law, the section and the passage it comes from. Practice by Law, timed mock exams, and spaced repetition of what you got wrong. • Season statistics. Matches, cards per match, when in the game things happen, which clubs give you the most trouble. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER, NO SIGNAL NEEDED Everything lives on your device. There is no sign-up, no login and no analytics. Optional sync uses your own private iCloud — we have no server and never see your matches. Export everything to a single file whenever you want. FREE AND PRO Free: three matches, with the full clock, goals, cards and the live screen — plus 20 questions. Your matches stay yours; nothing is deleted. PRO: unlimited matches, unlimited history, PDF reports signed with your own signature, statistics, the Apple Watch app, the full question bank and iCloud sync. The paywall never appears during a match. Not once, under any circumstances. Laws content covers the 2026/27 edition. The IFAB updates the Laws each season, normally with effect from 1 July, and the app tells you which edition it covers. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
