Shot Calibration & Court Weather • Shot Calibration — Teach CourtsidePlay your own strokes. Play each shot a couple of times on your Apple Watch and the app learns your motion signature for more accurate shot detection. Calibrate per sport, it respects your dominant hand, and it's fully optional — uncalibrated sports use the default detector and you can delete any calibration anytime. • Weather & Court Wind — A local 3-hour forecast (30-minute steps: temperature, wind, cloud, chance of rain, humidity) now sits on your Matches screen, powered by Apple Weather. Tap it for Court & Wind: a court that orients to your compass, shows the sun's position, and demonstrates how wind drifts the ball on serves and groundstrokes — with a switch-ends view. Your location is used only to fetch the forecast and is never stored or uploaded.

A focused update that makes Watch ↔ iPhone sync more dependable and swing analytics more useful on court — especially for tennis and padel. Fixes Manual sync brings your full match to iPhone. Heart rate, calories, swing counts, and shot-by-shot history now arrive together when you tap Sync to iPhone — so Match Summary looks complete even if you never opened the phone during play. Demo matches finish at the right score. Matches — especially quick demo games on Apple Watch — no longer stop one point before the target you set. Watch and iPhone stay aligned. Final scores match what you actually played, including when you use Auto sync or finish a match from your wrist. Swing analytics (Tennis & Padel) Volleys and drop shots are back. Net taps and soft drops at the front of the court are recognised again in your shot breakdown — important for padel, where most rallies happen at the net. Smarter serve counting in tennis. Only your actual serve at the start of a point is labelled Serve — not every overhead you hit later in the rally while you're still serving the game. More accurate padel serves. Bouncing the ball before you serve no longer shows up as a serve in your stats. Better topspin reads. Heavy topspin forehands and backhands are more likely to show as topspin instead of flat drives in your spin breakdown. Padel overheads. Bandeja and vibora shots are separated more reliably from plain smashes in your analytics.

Auto & Manual Watch ↔ iPhone Sync When you score on Apple Watch, you can now choose how the match reaches your iPhone: Auto streams every point live, or Manual keeps the full match on your wrist until you tap Sync to iPhone. Manual sync sends the complete authoritative scoreboard plus heart rate, swing analytics, and point-by-point history — so Match Summary is fully populated even for Watch-only matches. Works across Tennis, Padel, Beach Tennis, Badminton and demo formats

Badminton joins Tennis, Padel and Beach Tennis as a first-class sport, with BWF rally scoring on iPhone and Apple Watch, a dedicated motion classifier that opens a serve window at the start of every rally, and rock-solid Watch ↔ iPhone synchronisation of the current server. Plus a tighter swing pipeline across all racket sports.

A major release: Beach Tennis joins Tennis and Padel, the Match Summary becomes a downloadable PDF match sheet, the Apple Watch gains long-press undo, and the deciding-set rule now offers three clearly-labelled options. Plus a full data backup workflow, an experimental outdoor running-speed metric, and across-the-board sport-label fixes. New Beach Tennis. Choose Beach Tennis when creating a match — scoring matches classic tennis logic, with sensible defaults including a 10-point match tiebreak as the deciding set, suited to typical beach tournaments. Downloadable Match Sheet (PDF). From any completed Match Summary, tap the share menu and choose Download PDF to get a print-friendly match sheet — final score, set-by-set table, match details, health & fitness summary, total match time, swing analytics and point-by-point history — branded with the CourtsidePlay logo and footer. Total match time in the Match Summary, surfaced both in Match Info and the Health & Fitness card. Smart deciding-set tiebreak. Match configuration now offers three clearly-labelled options for the deciding set when sets are tied: Regular Set (normal 6-game set, 7-point tiebreak at 6-6), 7-point Match Tiebreak, or 10-point Match Tiebreak. Applies to Tennis, Padel and Beach Tennis. Existing matches automatically map to the closest option. Long-press to undo on Apple Watch. Tap-and-hold the score on the Watch for ~0.7s to undo the last point. The undo flows to the iPhone too, so phone and Watch stay in sync (in-progress points/games/sets are reverted; finished matches are not touched). Experimental: outdoor running speed. For tennis matches configured on an outdoor surface, the Apple Watch now estimates your max sprint speed during points (km/h) using GPS. Marked clearly as Experimental in the Match Summary; disabled for indoor courts, padel, and beach tennis. Export & import your data. Open Settings (gear icon on the Matches tab), then Export All Data to save a single JSON archive (players, matches, training sessions, tournaments) via the share sheet — or Import / Recover to restore from that file. Existing records are preserved when IDs match. App language shortcut. Settings links to system language preferences for CourtsidePlay (alongside Privacy & Release Notes on the web).

Bug fixes Live score now updates instantly while scoring from iPhone. Previously the points (15 → 30 → 40 → AD) didn't refresh on screen until you backed out and re‑entered the match — they're now driven by reliable @Observable tracking from the very first render. Match Health Summary no longer truncated by point‑type sheets. When detailed stats were on, every "Point Type" / "Retire" / "Finish" sheet was triggering .onDisappear, which silently stopped HealthKit and overwrote the running summary with a partial one. Health tracking now stops only at real match boundaries (Finish, Retire, end‑of‑match).

NEW • Estimated Swing Power. The Match Summary now shows your average and peak racquet tip speed (km/h) and swing power (W), personalized from your height and weight in Apple Health. • Heart-Rate Zones breakdown. After every tracked match, see how much time you spent in each of the 5 HR zones — computed from your age and per-point heart rate. • Date of Birth on player profiles, used to power age-based heart-rate zones and richer health analytics. IMPROVEMENTS • Peak Intensity in Swing Analytics is more accurate; it no longer saturates at 100 on light rallies. • Apple Watch status on the training-setup screen is more reliable after a fresh install or when the Watch is asleep. • When a match finishes on iPhone, the Apple Watch app now closes cleanly and no longer shows a stale "one point short" score.
