The match didn't reach my watch

Open Soccer Ref on both your iPhone and Apple Watch, keep them close together with Bluetooth on, then tap Send again. Matches are queued and resent automatically until the watch has them.

The report didn't reach my iPhone

Reports are saved on the watch first and sent until the iPhone confirms it has them. Open the iPhone app with the watch nearby and the report will appear under Matches.

The app closed during a match

Open it again. The match is restored with the clock, score and cards exactly where they should be.

Sin bins and card codes

On the watch, open Settings (gear icon) to turn sin bins on or off, set their length, and choose FA codes (C1–C7, S1–S7) or U.S. Soccer codes. A sin bin only counts down while the ball is in play.

Subscriptions

You get 3 matches free. Soccer Ref Pro unlocks unlimited matches. Manage or cancel your subscription in the Settings app on your iPhone: tap your name, then Subscriptions. To restore a purchase on a new device, use Restore Purchases on the paywall screen.
