Getting Started

From sign-up to scores on your screen in four steps.

1

Create Your Account

Sign up with Google, Apple, or Microsoft at tickrdash.com and pick the plan that fits you.

2

Open the Control Panel

The Control Panel is your remote — everything you see on the ticker is configured here.

3

Pick Your Content

Enable your leagues, follow your teams, and add extras like standings, weather, and stocks.

4

Put It on a Screen

Open the ticker on a tablet or TV browser, install the TickrDash app on Android TV or Google TV, or add it to your iPhone or iPad home screen.

Install on iPhone & iPad

TickrDash runs as a web app on iOS — add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen, just like an app.

1

Open in Safari

In Safari, go to tickrdash.com and sign in to your account.

2

Tap Share

Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up) in Safari's toolbar.

3

Add to Home Screen

Scroll down the share sheet, tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.

4

Launch from the Icon

Open TickrDash from your home screen. It runs full-screen without the browser bars and keeps your screen awake while the ticker is showing.

Heads-up: Auto-Lock can still turn the display off. TickrDash asks iOS to keep the screen awake while the ticker is showing, but if Auto-Lock is enabled on your iPhone or iPad, iOS may still lock the screen. To keep the ticker on, open Settings → Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock and choose Never (you can switch it back when you're done). Low Power Mode also forces a 30-second Auto-Lock, so turn it off for extended viewing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What do I need to run TickrDash?

Any device with a modern web browser works — a tablet, a smart TV browser, or a computer connected to a display. For the best experience on a TV, install the TickrDash app from the Google Play Store (Android TV and Google TV). On an iPhone or iPad, add TickrDash to your home screen to run it as a web app.

How do I sign in?

You can sign in with your Google, Apple, or Microsoft account. Whichever provider you choose, your settings and subscription are tied to your email address — so use the same account each time.

How do I control what the ticker shows?

Everything is managed from the Control Panel. Turn leagues on or off, follow specific teams, add conference or division standings, set up weather for your ZIP codes, and enable extras like stock quotes, golf leaderboards, tennis, and F1. The ticker updates automatically as soon as you save — no restart needed.

Using the Ticker

How often do scores update?

Scores refresh continuously while games are live — typically within a minute of the action. The ticker stays connected in real time, so updates appear on screen without any interaction from you.

What is the Smart Scoreboard?

Regular game cards show one game at a time for the teams you follow. The Smart Scoreboard is a high-density slide showing up to eight games from a league at once. You can scope it to every game, just your teams, or — for college sports — ranked (Top 25) matchups.

What do "Today Only" and "Live Only" do?

"Today Only" limits the rotation to games happening today, hiding yesterday's finals and upcoming games on other days. "Live Only" goes further and shows only games that are currently in progress. Leave both off to see everything in your poll window — recent finals, live games, and upcoming matchups.

Why did a finished tennis match disappear from the rotation?

When you have ATP or WTA enabled but aren't following any players, tennis match cards appear only while a match is live. The moment it finishes, the card leaves the rotation — this keeps a busy tournament day from flooding your ticker with dozens of finished matches. Completed matches remain visible on the tennis Smart Scoreboard slide.

To keep a finished match in the rotation for the rest of the day, follow one of its players (Control Panel → Tennis → follow players).

Will my screen stay on?

Yes. While the ticker is displayed, TickrDash asks the device to keep the screen awake, so your tablet or TV won't dim or sleep mid-game. If your device still sleeps, check that its battery-saver settings aren't overriding the app.

Can I pause the ticker on one slide?

Yes — tap the slide counter at the bottom of the screen to pause the rotation on the current slide (it changes to a pause icon). Tap it again to resume, and use the left and right edges of the screen to move between slides manually at any time.

Account & Billing

How do I change or cancel my plan?

We want to make it as easy to cancel as it is to sign up! Plans and billing are managed from your account after signing in.

  1. You must sign in to tickrdash.com (not the Android app)
  2. Open the control panel, click on "Manage Subscription" in the top right of the screen. This takes you to our Stripe billing page.
  3. Click on your Active Plan at the top, then click "Cancel Plan".

You can always contact us if you need a hand with anything billing-related.

I run a bar or venue — is there a plan for multiple screens?

Yes. TickrDash works great across multiple TVs, and we work with bars and venues directly. Check out the Bars & Venues page or get in touch for details.
