• The Game Opener is one screen now instead of a box of sixteen settings. It opens on your pregame show with a Play button, and each step underneath shows the line it will actually say. • A player's name is one voice clip, made once and used everywhere. Generate it in the opener and it appears on that player's roster screen; if they already have one, the opener uses it and it costs nothing. • Before you spend a credit, the opener says exactly what you are buying — how many lines are already done, how many are left, and what your balance will be afterward. • Pronunciation now lives on the player's own screen. Spell a name the way it sounds and the announcer says it that way. • DJ Board buttons that reach the end of their songs start the list over properly instead of sticking on the first one, and a button set to play the same song every time now does. • Album art shows on the Now Playing strip for songs from your own library. • Board Layout offers the Game Opener row on football, volleyball and wrestling, and extra sound rows are four across to line up with the dock.

• Nothing new inside the app this time — 1.0.49 is a rewritten App Store listing that describes what GameDay Music actually does. Everything from 1.0.48 works exactly as it did.

• Refer a friend: share your code from the top of your teams list and earn 10 voice credits when they subscribe to a paid plan — they get 5 • Baseball and softball: a new Next Batter button moves the order on without playing a song • Hockey's GOAL button now uses the double goal horn

• The Sound Effects board has been redesigned. Every sound now wears its category's color — stadium, hype, reactions, effects, music, and your own — so the horn you want is where you expect it. Search and category filters at the top. • Six sounds that were hidden from hockey are now available to it: buzzer, whistle, glass, organ, charge and let's go. Wrestling and volleyball gain the buzzer and whistle. No sport lost anything. • Long sound effects now fade out after about eight seconds instead of running on over the next play. Any fade time you set yourself still wins. • A quicker start for new teams. Make a team and a short setup walks you through it: where your songs come from (Apple Music or your own files), the GameDay Starter Set if you want it, and what plays when you tap a button. Baseball and softball start with your lineup, walk-up songs and voice intros. • Load the GameDay Starter Set now has Add all songs now, which fills every button at once. Change any song on the DJ Board whenever you like. • On the DJ Board, scoring buttons now say plainly which song plays: a song from the button, or the scorer's own song. • Golf: the Round tab opens on the next hole you haven't scored, and each round remembers where you were. • Fixed: a premium voice would not replay from the generator screen after you made it. • Fixed: on a brand-new install, teams created before the app was first closed could be lost if it quit unexpectedly. • Smaller fixes and polish, in English and Spanish.

• Golf: the Round tab opens on the next hole you haven't scored, and each round remembers where you left off. • The music source question no longer comes back every time you open your team. Close it and it waits until you're ready. • Help screens now match the app: the real tab names, how to turn off Lock Mode, and what needs an Apple Music subscription. • Smaller fixes and polish throughout, in English and Spanish.

Easier golf scoring, and the announcer is easier to hear. - Golf: score each hole right from the Round tab. Every player gets one big number that starts at par: tap it for par, or use the big minus and plus buttons for anything else. Hold a number to clear it. - Golf: the Round tab now shows the hole, everyone's scores and the totals above your running playlist. Songs for specific holes moved to their own Hole Songs tab. - Golf: "Add Songs or a Playlist" brings in a whole Apple Music playlist at once. - Lower Music When Announcing now drops your own song files much further under the announcer, so names are clear over loud songs. - Practice Mode drills keep exact time, and the summary counts every drill.

Start points everywhere, and quicker golf edits. - Tapping a song in Game Playlists now plays it from its start time. It used to start from the beginning there, even though the same song started correctly everywhere else. - Golf: press and hold any song on the board or course page to choose its hole or remove it from the course.

Fade your sound effects, trim your own voice clips, and back up your audio. - Sound effects fade out instead of cutting off. A Fade button appears next to Stop while an effect plays, and the main Fade button takes a playing effect down with the song. - Set how long effects take to fade (Sound Effect Fade Time in Game Day settings), and have any DJ Board button's effect fade out on its own after a set time. - Recorded voice clips play tighter: the silence before and after your words is trimmed, and you choose the gap between "Goal", "Assisted by" and the name. - Upload an audio file instead of recording, and trim any clip on a waveform before saving. - Back up your songs, sound effects and recordings in one file and AirDrop it to your iPad (Account > Back Up Your Audio). - Deleted teams and songs stay deleted on your other devices, and a roster edited on two devices no longer loses players. - Golf: scoring shows before you add any music, crowd requests join the round on their own, and played requests are marked on the request page. - Quick Preview speaks the sample name again.

Your start points, every time. Songs start at the start time you set, even when they’re streaming over a slow or cellular connection. Apple Music search no longer lists songs Apple has removed (the ones greyed out in your Music library). If a song you saved has been removed from Apple Music, the app now says so instead of reporting a connection problem. The song editor no longer tells subscribers that a preview may not start at their start time. Subscribers hear the full song from that point.

Your own voice, and your own sounds. RECORD YOUR OWN VOICE Record each player's intro and their goal call as separate takes, and see both on the player's screen. Assists are announced in your recorded voice too, and a goal and its assist play back to back as one call. The recording steps skip anything you've already recorded. SEE WHO'S ANNOUNCING Team Home and each player's screen show which voice calls them, with the announcer's face. Switch a single player to a stadium announcer on a team that records its own voice. After you change announcers, the app tells you which players still use the old voice and offers to redo them. YOUR SOUNDS ON THE BUTTONS Sounds you import can go on Quick Sounds and the sound effects board. FIXES - The announcer comes in 1.5 seconds after the music starts, not 3. - A player is never introduced in a voice the team didn't choose. - The two "Announce Player Name" switches no longer disagree. - The app's built-in sound effects no longer show up as sounds you imported.

Fixes player voice introductions going silent during a game. Some players showed "No voice" even though their recordings were still saved — the app was looking in the wrong place. Nothing was ever lost. Team songs now work on every sport. Setting a team goal, entrance or scoring song previously did nothing outside football and baseball. It now fills in for any player who has no song of their own, and the team override applies everywhere. Team Home has a new look, with redrawn icons for every section, and the Players row now says which song it sets. Game playlists: album artwork on every song, tap a cover to preview it, and a clearer Add Music button. Removing and reordering songs is easier. Drag to reorder songs and players without tapping Edit first. The Roster screen opens straight to your lineup, with a clearer Add Player button.

Fixes a bug where songs with a custom start point played from the beginning instead.

Music now plays when the signal doesn't. If you've used "Save to Apple Music for offline play," the app now plays those downloaded songs when there's no service at the field or rink — instead of telling you to check your connection. It matches the exact recording you picked, not just something with the same name. Buttons no longer wait on a weak signal either. A tap used to sit silent and then start the song minutes later, in the middle of play. Now it stops waiting and plays what's already on your phone. Not set up yet? Open the DJ Board, tap "Save to Apple Music for offline play," then turn on Automatic Downloads in Settings > Music while you're on Wi-Fi. Do it the night before a game.

• Golf: your courses are the home screen. Each course keeps its own songs, request line and logo. Find your course and par and yardage load for every hole. • Golf: keep score as you play. Tap a number for each player on every hole, stroke play or best ball pairs, with running totals and to par. Text the group your request link and they see the live card next to the song queue. • Play without a signal. Save every song your team uses to Apple Music as one playlist, then turn on Automatic Downloads and game day works even when the rink or field has no connection. • Sort your roster by number, first name, or last name. The scorer picker and lineup follow the same order. • GameDay Starter Set. One tap loads up to 240 game-tested songs onto every DJ Board button, start points already set, for eight sports. • See how in 30 seconds. A short demo of game day for your sport, right from the setup checklist. • Smaller fixes and polish throughout.

What's New in 1.0.36 • Play without a signal. Save every song your team uses to Apple Music as one playlist, then turn on Automatic Downloads and game day works even when the rink or field has no connection. Find it on the DJ Board, each playlist, and Team Home. • Sort your roster. Order players by number, first name, or last name, or keep dragging. The scorer picker and lineup follow the same order. (Baseball keeps its batting order.) • GameDay Starter Set. One tap loads up to 240 game-tested songs onto every DJ Board button, start points already set, for football, hockey, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, volleyball, and wrestling. Edit anything after. • See how in 30 seconds. A short demo of game day for your sport, right from the setup checklist. • Smaller fixes and polish throughout.

Football Game Day board: • Defense — Interception and Fumble now have their own sections. Tap Team Song for the button's playlist, or a player's number for their own song. • Offense — Field Goal and Extra Point are separate buttons. Touchdown has a Team Song button in front of the jerseys. • Baseball, softball and volleyball action buttons are straightforward playlists now. • Rotate All reaches every sport. • Players with no song of their own show dimmed. Music tab: play a song, then hit Next — it should play the next song in the playlist you're looking at (Pre-Game, Halftime, Post-Game). Let one finish on its own too. DJ Board: Touchdown, Interception and Fumble should show their song lists. Deleting songs: delete a song on one device, check it stays gone on the other. Same for deleting a team.

PLAYLISTS KEEP PLAYING When a song ends the next one starts, so a playlist runs through on its own without you touching the phone. It is on from the start — there is a switch for it in Game Day Settings, "Keep the Playlist Playing", if you ever want it off. Stop and Fade both stop the music and stay stopped. Next moves you on one song. Fade now takes longer so the music comes down before it goes quiet. THE ANNOUNCER'S LEAD-IN "On the ice", "Now batting", "Stepping up" — the phrase said before a player's name had been going missing. Opening Game Day was deleting the downloaded phrases it was meant to be tidying up, so by the time you tapped a player there was nothing left to say. Every phrase now survives, in every sport. If you run more than one team, opening one sport's board no longer clears another sport's phrases either. YOUR DJ BOARD SETUP IS SAVED Songs, start and stop times, sound-effect switches and scoring modes now save and sync the moment you change them. THE DJ BOARD SETUP SCREEN The buttons across the top look like the buttons on your board — the same cards, the same colors, football's downs in their own green, blue, amber and red. Each shows how many songs it holds, so the ones still waiting on music stand out, and a row of dots underneath shows how many buttons there are. SMALLER THINGS Clear All asks before it empties a button's song list, and says that the start and stop times go with the songs. Album artwork shows next to your songs in playlist setup. You can drag along the waveform to move through a song.

FIXED: THE PLAYER'S OWN SONG ON A SCORING PLAY Choosing who scored now plays that player's song. The app was firing the sound effect and the announcement and then never playing the song. This affected hockey, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, field hockey, rugby, cricket and flag football. The song now starts the moment you pick the player. ASKING WHO ASSISTED IS NOW OPTIONAL After you choose who scored, you can skip the assist question and have the call fire straight away — one tap instead of two. Find it on the DJ Board under the scoring button, in Announcer Voice. It only appears in sports that credit an assist, so a cricket Six and a rugby Try no longer stop to ask. WHEN A PLAYER HAS NO ANNOUNCER VOICE The player picker now marks anyone whose name cannot be announced, and the app tells you which player and why instead of going quiet mid-play. You can still pick them — their song still plays, it is only the spoken name that is missing. THE ANNOUNCER'S LEAD-IN, FROM THE BOARD The phrase before a player's name — "On the ice", "Now batting", and the rest — is now one tap away in the Player Songs row on the Game Day board, instead of two screens into settings. Choosing a new phrase downloads it right away, so it plays the next time you tap a player. CHOOSING A VOICE FOR ONE PLAYER Generating a player's introduction now uses the full announcer picker, with every voice's photo, the sports it suits and where it is from. ROSTER Active and Bench are proper sections now, each with an icon and a count, rather than a plain word over a dividing line.

FOUR NEW SPORTS Flag football, rugby, cricket and golf each get their own Game Day board, action buttons and song slots. GOLF PLAYS A ROUND, NOT A GAME A course holds its own songs. Assign them to holes, tap the flag strip to move to the next hole, and the round plays in hole order. Share the course link and your foursome can add songs for the day — requests arrive on the course, and you can pin one to a hole as it comes in. CRICKET A batting-order board that keeps track of who has already batted, so you always know who is walking out next. 38 ANNOUNCERS The voice picker now shows every announcer with a portrait, the sports they suit and where they are from, and you can filter to find one quickly. Every sport has voices chosen for it. NO REPEATS Two new optional settings: hide songs you have already played from your playlists, and stop a button replaying a song until the game is reset. Both are off unless you turn them on. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Action buttons start at the top of the playlist you set, not partway down • Photographs on the Create Team sport picker • Mascot artwork for every built-in demo team

Game Day got a full pass this release. THE PLAYER STAYS ON SCREEN The board no longer resizes when a song starts. Artwork, the waveform and Stop, Pause, Fade and Skip stay where you left them. iPAD REBUILT Every sport's Game Day board was redrawn for iPad — a full-width player with artwork and transport controls, complete playlists, the roster and quick sounds all visible at once instead of tucked behind tabs. BASEBALL FIELDING Rebuilt around the pitching staff, with warm-up songs one tap away. The batting order no longer repeats "Upcoming" above every remaining name. SMALLER iPHONES Every sport was re-laid out for the smaller screen, so jersey cards, rosters and the player fit without clipping. NEW BOARD ICONS Redrawn across every sport — home run, big hit, caught, face-off, escape and the rest. SONG REQUESTS WITHOUT AN INSTALL A new App Clip opens the request page straight from a link or QR code, so fans and players can pick a song without downloading anything. FIXES - Tapping a player's song plays that song. It no longer starts the in-game playlist instead. - An action button plays the song shown on the button. - Baseball fielding announcements use the player's full recorded name clip, the same one used at bat, instead of stitching the number and names together. - A player's tile stops animating once another song takes over. - Team logos no longer clip at the top of the circle. - Hold a scorer's name in hockey to pin them to the front of the list, the way football already worked.

GETTING STARTED • A new install now opens the app itself. Signing in is the only screen before it, and the setup steps sit on your dashboard as a card you can work through or dismiss whenever you like. • Creating a team takes you straight into it. The three screens that used to follow are now one. • The offer to fill your DJ Board says what it actually does: one choice opens the board with songs suggested for every button, the other opens it empty so you can pick your own. • The auto-load walkthrough now reads in playing order — sound effect, then voice, then music — with artwork for each. • Voice intros are named up front, so it's clear you can have players announced by name. YOUR MUSIC IS SAFER • A second device can no longer replace your jersey numbers, playlists or DJ Board songs with an older copy. An iPad that had been sitting unused could push its out-of-date version over the current one. The two are now merged instead, so nothing is lost. IPAD • The football Game Day board was showing two music players at once. Now there's one. HELP • Five help videos were published but reachable from nowhere in the app. They're now on the screens they explain. • Mash-Ups and Practice Mode have their own walkthroughs. • Field hockey has a Game Day video. • Help calls the DJ Board the DJ Board. Some sections still called it "Action Buttons". FIXES • Fixed a crash when adding an Apple Music song to your library with Sync Library turned off. • The setup checklist names the row it actually opens.

• "Fade" no longer breaks across two lines on the Game Day transport. The words now give way to icons only where they genuinely don't fit, which is a small iPhone with Larger Text on.

GAME DAY • Pause and Resume sit next to Stop on every Game Day board. A paused song keeps its place, and a trimmed song still stops at its end point when you resume. • Next while a DJ Board button's song plays goes to that button's next song. On smaller iPhones the Stop, Pause, Fade and Next buttons switch to icons so they fit. • Playlists read Pre-Game, In-Game, Post-Game everywhere. The In-Game playlist was called Break in the playlist editor. • Volleyball and wrestling: tapping a player with no song fades out the last player's song and still announces the new one. Break music keeps playing. GAMEDAY MASH-UP • Mash-Ups: Team Home > Mash-Ups joins parts of your songs into one track, each from its start for its length. Choose a quick fade between songs and a rewind sound at each change. Tap a Mash-Up to change it, and the change reaches everywhere it's used. Use it in playlists, walk-ups, DJ Board buttons and the Game Opener like any song. Mash-Ups of Apple Music songs play live. You can also make one right from the song picker while adding songs to a DJ Board button or playlist. FIXES • Toolbar buttons no longer turn blank after closing a pop-up screen. PLAYLISTS • Song files you import into a playlist now play. They were being looked up as Apple Music songs. SHARE YOUR MUSIC • Tap Share to send another coach one playlist, just your DJ Board songs, or everything. They pick what to keep.

xGAME OPENER • Keep the music going. After the last introduction, your song keeps playing until you stop it. Prefer the old fade-out? Turn off "Keep Playing After Announcements." • Edit any line of the script, set the order players are introduced, and save openers to reuse. Saved openers now back up to your account. • The announcement now sounds like one continuous, high-energy call instead of separate lines. • Generate shows how many voice credits it will use before you tap it. SHARE YOUR MUSIC • Send another coach your playlists and button songs with a link. They pick what to keep. DJ BOARD • Move to Top and Move to Bottom for songs on a button, with no long dragging. • See when a song is also on another button. FIXES • Playlist songs are marked as played only after they actually play, so a song that fails to start is no longer grayed out and skipped. • If Apple Music access is turned off, the playlist now tells you and links to Settings instead of staying silent. • Album art now shows for songs from your Apple Music library. • Fixed back arrows and toolbar buttons that could go blank after closing some screens. • Every player is announced in your team's selected announcer voice. • Updating your roster from the web form now updates existing players' songs instead of skipping them.

The Game Opener is now yours to write. • WRITE YOUR OWN OPENER. Every line of the pre-game announcement can be edited — your wording, your call. Save several versions and pick one before each game. • CONTROL THE PACING. Set how long the announcer pauses before the player introductions and between each name, and choose the order players are announced in. • ONE SWITCH FOR PLAYER NAMES. Announcing who scored used to be spread across several settings that didn't agree with each other. It's now a single switch, and you'll find it in all the places you'd look. • EASIER ROSTER SETUP ON THE WEB. Your team's logo and colors come through, popular songs for your sport are one tap to add, and the start time you pick for a song now carries into the app. • FIXES. Event Mode no longer interrupts music playing in other apps. Album art shows for your own audio files. The next-song button on Game Day boards no longer plays the song by mistake when you tap it.
