Side match fixes from the field: accepting a challenge now links your round automatically, and starting a round links a waiting challenge for you. Your side matches now show in Live Games even before they start. Notification taps about friends' rounds now open the live view. Plus reliability fixes.

Players can now view and join the comments on their own round — look for the Comments button while scoring. Notifications mark themselves read when you open them. Expired side match challenges now clean up automatically. Plus bug fixes.

A brand new Home screen: see friends' live rounds, jump into the action, and follow the feed of completed rounds. Side Matches: challenge friends playing in other groups. Everyone scores their own round and Birdie Bank tracks the match live across groups. Comments and reactions: talk trash on live and completed rounds, with live comments right on the Watch screen. Live match standings when watching friends: who's up, by how much, hole by hole. Golf-standard score indicators (circles and squares) on every scorecard. New stroke options for games: play off the low ball or full handicap. Plus faster live updates and many fixes under the hood.

New side games: Sixes, Acey Ducey, Split Sixes, and Nine Point. Par 3 course support with generic 9 or 18 hole scorecards. Push notifications. Fixed live match status and press triggers to use the same handicap math as final settlement.

Bug fixes and improvements.

• Fixed net scoring in head-to-head games — strokes now play correctly off the low handicap. Note: payouts on net match-play games may differ from older versions on similar scores; the previous calculation gave extra strokes, and the new one is correct. • New game: Stableford, with gross or net scoring. • Game setup remembers your last-used settings, so new rounds start pre-filled. • UI improvements across setup, scoring, and settlement for a cleaner, more consistent experience.

Accuracy and reliability improvements: • Side-game results are now more accurate — points settlements correctly reflect every matchup, including multi-player side games where totals could be misattributed. • Fixed 2-vs-2 Match Play point totals. • Rounds save more reliably — fixed a rare issue where a round could stop saving in the background. • Improved live sync for group rounds, including guest players.

Bring your whole group: invite players to a round by link or QR code — they can join and score from their own phones, no account required. Share your results the moment the round ends. Plus performance improvements and behind-the-scenes polish.

Thanks for playing Birdie Bank! This update includes behind-the-scenes improvements and bug fixes for smoother scoring, faster settlements, and more reliable live rounds. Keep the feedback coming — more on the way.
