Swap players between courts, or with someone sitting out, to set up the matchups you want. Marking someone away can now redraw the current round, so you can sort out Round 1 before anyone plays. Games stay fair after every change.

New round timer with a loud alarm that sounds even on silent. See how many games each player has played. Mark a player as away for a round or two without losing their place. Skill Balancing and Smart Balancing now work together, so you get fair games and fresh partners.

Fixes a problem that stopped the app opening after the last update. Sorry about that.

Smart Balancing now rotates partners properly. Nobody teams up with the same player twice until they have played with everyone they can, then opponents get mixed too.

v7.0 is a rebuild of the screen you actually stare at all night. The round number is now the biggest thing on the results screen, readable at arm's length, and Next Round is pinned at the bottom where your thumb already is. No more scrolling back past five courts to start the next one. Also in this release: Skill Balancing now tells you the truth. New roster players start genuinely unrated rather than quietly defaulting to the middle, and if you switch Skill Balancing on before rating anyone, the app says so instead of doing nothing. Every court carries its own colour, so players find their court by looking rather than reading. Larger Text works throughout now. So does Reduce Motion. Buttons that were too small to hit courtside have grown. Sharing a PDF shows you it is working, and tells you if it is not, instead of appearing dead for five seconds. A haptic tick on Next Round, plus a Sound Effects switch if you would rather the app stayed quiet. Smaller things: search your roster once it passes twenty names, a note that tells you how many more players you need for another court, confirmations that look like the app rather than the browser, and better contrast in bright halls.

New: score your matches on Apple Watch with PB Tapscore, now linked right from your results screen. Plus minor improvements.

Pick up where you left off. Force-quit mid-session? The next launch offers to resume - players, courts, round and all. Smoother schedule mode. "Next round →" advances cleanly in Plan Full Session, and you can flip back to compare earlier rounds. Edit the lineup mid-schedule and the rounds you've already played stay locked - only future rounds get rebuilt. Better sharing. WhatsApp share now falls back to your system share sheet if WhatsApp isn't installed. Easier to tap. Every button now meets Apple's 44pt tap-target floor - built for fingers, not styluses. Plus modal polish, copy fixes, and accessibility improvements.

v6.1 - the "iOS won't lose your night" update. If the app gets killed mid-session, a call, a pocket-lock, anything, you'll now see a Resume option when you relaunch. The whole session comes back: players, rotation, sit-out counts, even where you were looking. For Pro schedule sessions: - Big "Next round" button so you can advance through the rota courtside - Adding a latecomer rebuilds future rounds while keeping played rounds intact (printed schedules still match what you've used so far) Quality of life: - WhatsApp share falls back to the system share sheet if WhatsApp isn't installed - Bigger tap targets across the app - easier for sweaty courtside thumbs - Duplicate names show "already in the session" instead of silently doing nothing - Subtitle reads "4 playing · 2 resting" so the maths makes sense when the lineup isn't divisible Feature requests welcome office@longspaces.com.

Plan your whole session in one tap. NEW — Plan Full Session (Pro): tell PBRotator how many rounds you're playing and it builds the entire rota up front. Flip through every round before you start, and share or print the full schedule as a PDF so everyone knows where they're playing all night. Also in this update: • Add players straight from your roster while editing a live session • A clearer Edit Session screen with Cancel Thanks for all the reviews and requests - this one came straight from your feedback. Keep it coming.

Following your feedback, Round Navigation is live!

What's New": "Critical paywall fix - Pro unlock now gates correctly. Existing Pro users: tap Restore Purchases on first launch.

A top-to-bottom polish based on a full UX audit. - Edit Session - add latecomers, drop early leavers, or open another court mid-session without losing your rotation history. - Skill dots in the picker - every player chip now shows their 1–5 skill level so you can spot a balanced line-up instantly. - Cleaner results screen - Next Round is now the big primary button; secondary actions (History, Share, WhatsApp) sit below. - Smaller PDFs - typical export drops from ~9MB to under 1MB. Sharing the rotation in a group chat is instant. - Sit-out hint - when your player count doesn't divide cleanly, setup tells you exactly how many will rest each round. - Dated WhatsApp messages - the round summary now includes the day so it's still useful when you scroll back through chat next week. - History dates rewritten - readable formatting, plus a player preview so you can spot the right session at a glance. - Confirm-before-Reset - no more losing a session to a stray thumb tap. - A pile of smaller fixes: roster modal layering, court colour preview, sit-out list expand/collapse, history clear button moved out of foot-gun range. Run a club night this week and see the difference.

Skill Balancing - rate each player from 1 to 5 in your roster. PBRotator now builds teams so every court is a fair match, not just a random draw. PRO feature. Plus a visual refresh - bigger court cards, sharper typography, smoother animations. And a small but obvious fix: the roster screen now has a proper back button.

Version 4.7 No more retyping the same names every week. Player Roster - save your regular players once and they're there every session. Tap a name to add them to tonight's game, tap again to remove. Guests and new players can still be added manually as before. For anyone running a weekly club night with the same crowd, this one's for you.

Minor tweaks under the hood!

Version 4.5 PBRotator just got its biggest update yet. Smart Balancing — tired of ending up with the same partner three rounds in a row? Smart Balancing runs 50 combinations to find the fairest arrangement every round, so players get fresh pairings and nobody gets stuck in the same matchup twice. Session History — every session is now saved automatically. Review past court assignments, see who played with whom, and keep a full record of your club's history. Both features are part of the new Pro tier — £2.99, one-time, no subscription. The free version remains fully featured: unlimited players, instant rotations, sit-out handling, PDF export and sharing.

- PRO unlock: Upgrade to PRO for advanced features like PDF export, sharing, and session history - Session history: View past rotations with expandable details and net dividers between pairs - PDF export & sharing: Export your rotation schedule as a PDF or share/print directly - Visual polish: Improved dark mode modals, smoother transitions, and cleaner UI
