A scoreboard you can read from the baseline Propping the phone at the net only helps if you can read it from the back of the court. The old board was legible from about three and a half metres. The baseline is nearly twelve. We measured it, and then we didn't say anything for a while. The new one shows one score at a time, as big as the glass allows. The point score while the game is on. Between games the games score takes over, and the strip along the bottom names who serves next, which is the thing doubles pairs argue about. Portrait turns out to be the bigger board. The key-moment flashes are gone, and so is the mid-match clock. A finished match now shows the final score set by set instead of a frozen last game. Advantage sets Rule 6 gives two ways to score a set and Luasc only did one of them. Turn on Advantage sets and six-all keeps going until someone is two games clear, so a match can finish 8-6 or 12-10 and be written down that way. Off unless you switch it on. Doubles: pick your server again at every set The rules let each pair choose its serving order at the start of every set. Luasc asked once, in the second game, and assumed the rest of the match. Now it offers the choice at every set, and before a match tiebreak. Carry on as you were and nothing changes. Put your stronger server on first after dropping a set and it will believe you. Fixed - Win the match on your Apple Watch and there was no taking back the point that ended it. - A paired Apple Watch without Luasc installed was offered the watch button and nothing else. The button that would have worked was the hidden one. - The setting was called "Play sets out at 6-6". Nobody calls it that. - Setup said sudden death deuce. The rule book says no-ad, and so does Luasc when it reads the score out. - The watch called the same setting a third thing again. Have a good match.

Share the match, in the shape you're actually posting The card you send after a match now renders to two exact ratios — 4:5 for a feed, 9:16 for a story — instead of one odd size that got cropped on Instagram and letterboxed in Stories. And you pick which card, not just what shape. Five of them: the scoreboard on its own, a head-to-head scorecard, a sentence on how the match went, your own numbers, or the point-by-point momentum line. Luasc only offers the ones your match has the data for. Finish one that stayed level — a tiebreak, a decider, a one-point margin — and it will nudge you, once, to send it. Three corrections to the rules - A deciding set that reaches 6-6 now plays a ten-point tiebreak, the way all four Slams have since 2022, rather than a seven-point one. - On a no-ad deciding point, the receiver chooses which half to receive from. Luasc used to name the deuce court as though it knew. It no longer says. - The spoken score calls nought "love" and agrees the noun with the number: "one game to love", not "one games to zero". A tour that doesn't show you the door first The big button in onboarding now says Next and moves you forward; Skip is a quiet link in the corner. Three pages instead of four, opening with scoring on a watch or a phone rather than assuming a watch — and on iPad, which can't pair one, it never mentions a watch at all. Restore Purchases tells you what happened Restored, nothing to restore, or couldn't reach the App Store — instead of a spinner that came and went and left you to guess. Also fixed - Naming the players of a finished match could undo a name you'd just typed, if iCloud fetched an older copy in between. - Signing into a different iCloud account no longer copies the previous account's matches, players and places across to it. - The "New Match" watch complication opens match setup, so you can choose a preset, instead of dropping straight into warm-up. - The share nudge's button drew its icon invisibly and sat off centre. - Match history and the spoken score are both quicker, and naming a court can be cancelled instead of grinding on. The share card is free, every style of it. Scoring is too — every format, both devices, sync, workouts and per-match stats.

Stats that say what to work on The Stats tab used to tell you how you'd done. Now it tells you why. A new card at the top names the one thing that's slipped — your second serve, holding serve, converting break points — with the working shown: what it is over your last five matches, how far that is from the ten before, and roughly what it's costing you a match. It only speaks when it can back it up. Nothing is called a change until it's bigger than ordinary match-to-match variation, so a thin run of matches gets an honest "not enough to tell yet" rather than a confident red arrow. Stats over time Underneath it, a new screen charts every stat Luasc tracks — first serves in, points won on first and second serve, double faults, service games held, return points, break points, games broken, total points — match by match, with a five-match average line so you see the shape instead of the scatter. Key moments on the courtside scoreboard Propped at the net post, the board is right at the edge of legible from the baseline. Now a game, a set or a change of ends briefly takes over the whole screen with the score you'd otherwise walk over to check — big enough to read from where you're standing — then hands the board straight back. Tap-to-score keeps working underneath. Turn it off in Settings → Match & Scoring. Your match, on your workout Matches scored on the watch now stamp the final score, format and result onto the Health workout they recorded, so a tennis workout is no longer anonymous in Health or Fitness. Player names are deliberately left off. iCloud sync you can see Settings now shows what sync is actually doing — whether it's running, when it last finished, and plainly if you're signed out of iCloud — instead of quietly doing nothing. Get Help Settings → Get Help opens an email to us with your version and a short diagnostics file attached, so we're not asking you for it later. Also fixed: the caption under a locked Pro feature could be clipped mid-word. The focus card and Stats over time are part of Luasc Pro. Scoring stays free — every format, both devices, sync, workouts and per-match stats.
