Fence! (Pro)1.1.20 - App Store

Fence! (Pro) is a more advanced version of Fence!

Fence! (Pro) has been designed from the ground up for fencing referees. The app features easy to user timers, large button targets, and an uncluttered display.

Optical scanning of standard FencingTime pool sheets lets you track fencers names, numbers, and results in your phone, saving you precious seconds at the end of every bout.

Fence! (Pro) understands every aspect of a fencing match, from standard pools to DE bouts to team events. At every step, Fence! (Pro) knows what should happen next and makes it easy for you to move to the next step. (Time expired in the first period? The app immediately asks to start the rest break timer. Passivity time reached? Time for p-cards!)

Fence! (Pro) incorporates the new USFA passivity rules and keeps a separate passivity timer, letting you keep your focus on the action.

You can still use Fence! (Pro) in "practice" mode for simple bout situations.

Version History Adds new 2026 passivity rules option.

Bug fix: you can once again edit the names of fencers by tapping on their name in the fencer list view. Previously, the name was scrolling out of sight, making it impossible to edit.

Coming soon: an iPad version of Fence! Pro, which delivers an easy-to-use score sheet and direct editor, without being a score app. Perfect for tracking your or another fencer's progress, or using to score an entire pool from the sidelines.

Say goodbye to trying to figure out the next bout, the on deck bout, while juggling to record the last bout: once you've scanned a pool sheet, Fence! Pro will prompt tell you who's fencing, who's next, record the scores, and even make sure fencers are on the correct side of the strip!
