0.4.6

Current build

What changed

  • Refreshed design and styles across the app.
  • Fixed shot plans started from the watch not using the selected club to work out the target line.

0.4.5

Released

Play any course

  • If the course is missing, or only partly in the catalog, tap Play here anyway, enter the name, and start playing.
  • Take up to four photos of the scorecard. Hole pars, handicaps, yardages, and tees are read in the background while you play, then you pick your tees.
  • Map as you go: drop a pin on the tee box, fairway waypoints, and green center, or tap to use your position.
  • Shot tracking works from your GPS on holes that have not been mapped yet.
  • No scorecard handy? Set par in one tap from the range finder before you enter a score.
  • Anything estimated is labeled as an estimate. Unknown par shows a dash instead of a made-up par 4.
  • Spot something wrong on a finished course? Report a course data issue under Range Finder settings > Help & Feedback.

Casual Mode

  • Turns off audio recording, shot prediction, priority evaluations, post-round analysis, memories, and profile updates.
  • Range finder, course map, and scorecard stay available.
  • Set it from the round setup screen, or any time from the in-round settings menu.

Range Finder and "Plays Like" distance

  • Plays-like now accounts for course altitude using ground-level pressure.
  • Elevation adjustment scales with landing angle instead of a flat factor.
  • Elevations from different sources are never mixed.
  • Target origins stay aligned with your live phone location.
  • The range finder works on holes with no tee or green data, measuring from GPS.

More club choices

  • More clubs to pick from, including the 1-iron, 4-wood, 2-hybrid, and 46, 48, 62, and 64 degree wedges.
  • Build your bag with wedges by loft, and add custom lofts.
  • The range finder and Shot Planner name the clubs you actually carry.

Starting a round

  • Home goes straight into course setup, and the pre-round briefing is now the start line.
  • Nothing nearby? You land in search right away, with nearby courses and search results grouped together.
  • Scheduled rounds can be started early.
  • Course data refreshes when you start a round, so tee and map updates show up without a reinstall.

Shot tracking and round reports

  • What you say is matched to the right hole more reliably, even when a score is entered late.
  • Pocket noise that used to be transcribed as phantom phrases is filtered out before analysis.
  • Round reports are more honest about what they do not know, and plan changes are only suggested when the evidence is strong.

Apple Watch

  • Fixed the watch getting stuck on Round paused or Round complete after a round is over.
  • A workout that outlives the app is recovered instead of left running.
  • Full-distance shots planned on the watch get a fairway target automatically.

Round feedback surveys

  • A short round feedback survey arrives the morning after a round.

Misc improvements

  • Course search and selection styling, usability, and reliability.
  • Better resiliency to offline or adverse network conditions: par, tee choices, and expired sign-ins wait for signal instead of dropping.
  • Further work to eliminate the "New June used your location in the background" notification.
  • Added an in-app way to delete your account.
  • Removed the dark mode theme for now to reduce style surface area.
  • Lowered the minimum iOS version to 16.2 to support iPhone 8 and newer.
