The app from the drawer is out.
Dartistry is on Google Play.

A year ago this was an idea I'd given up on. Today you can buy it. Dartistry is a strategy coach for 501 darts, it teaches the decision underneath the throw instead of doing your counting for you. Android first, three pounds forty-nine in the UK, yours for good.

Most darts apps are scorers. You throw, you tap, they do the subtraction. That is genuinely useful and I used them plenty, but an auto-scorer is a cheat code for the exact skill you are trying to build. It takes the arithmetic away instead of teaching it, and it says nothing about the bit that actually decides games.

Which treble. Which setup dart. Which double you leave yourself, and where you end up when you miss it, which you will.

Dartistry teaches that. It is a coach and a practice partner, not a scorer and not a throw tracker.

It is honest about who you are.

Every checkout is priced in the only currency that matters: the average number of darts it takes you to get out, at your level rather than a television professional's. "Just hit the treble twenty" is bad advice for most players, and the app knows it. What it tells a new player and what it tells a good one are different answers, on purpose.

You get told why.

Pick a route in Route Quiz and you get a coaching note explaining the choice. Not just that it was right, but what your likely miss leaves you on and which double the road ends at.

Try the 84 checkout guide for a worked example: the route to the finish, what a single 20 leaves you, and how to recover.

If you have got something in a drawer, that is the bit I would take from this. Go and have another look at it.

Dartistry, a strategy coach for 501 darts.
