What's new: • A quick welcome tour for new players — your first visit shows you how to accept an invite, start a group and add your friends, and set up your first game. Skip it any time. • Late-night check — if you set a game for the middle of the night, we'll ask "10:30 PM — is that right?" so an AM/PM slip doesn't send everyone the wrong time. • "Text All Players" now always opens your text, even when your friends were already notified in the app. • Fewer duplicate emails — if you get RacketBuddies notifications on your phone, we'll skip the matching email for routine updates. Invites, cancellations and anything important still come by email. • Bug fixes and polish.

• Each sport gets its own court, and your calendar keeps itself up to date • Pickleball, tennis, padel and more now each show their own court in your game. • Your phone's calendar now updates itself when a game is cancelled or changed. You don't have to open the notification. • Groups: Add Members now adds people straight away. You can still send invites instead, and anyone with an open invite can be added or removed with one tap. • Games you said no to still show in My Games, marked Declined, so you can change your mind. • Game owners can delete a game, and organizers can hide the court layout from players. • You no longer need a home address to finish signing up. • Fixes: Live Activities show again after being turned off and on, and a wrong club password now says so instead of "too many attempts."

Bug fixes and Improvements

Booking club courts, and clearer game status • Court times from your club are always the club’s own local time, even if your phone is set to a different time zone. The court picker says so, and your booking shows the time with its zone (for example “Fri 7:30 PM EDT”). • A game that’s still short now tells you exactly how many more players it needs: “Your game needs 2 more players”, instead of just “not confirmed yet”. • When a player can’t be added to the club reservation, you now see one clear message on that player, not two. • Fixed: after picking a club court, the app could stop opening Contacts and then close unexpectedly while you set someone as Member or Guest.

• More reliable club court bookings: adding guests and finding club members on your reservation is sturdier, and a booking that gets stuck now alerts our team instead of failing quietly. • Full games are clearer: invites to a game that's already full say "Full — join the waitlist" or "Full — no waitlist". • Picking a date more than a week out from the calendar now shows it in the date strip, so you can see it's saved. • Fixed a button you couldn't read when an invite link didn't work.

• Book your club court right from a game (for clubs connected to RacketBuddies), with a progress bar while it books. • Adding players to a club game? Choose Member or Guest, and see who's on the club reservation. • More players than courts? Choose to waitlist, add a court, or let everyone in. • "Courts" wording throughout the app. • Creating a game is simpler: one "Who's playing?" card, with clear Number of courts and Who can join settings. • Discover: search any town or address to see the courts, clubs and games there. • Fixes and polish: smoother profile photo uploads, clearer Back buttons and address messages.

Easily see club bookings through a new in app browser integration (For integrated clubs only)

Book club courts more reliably, and start a game right from a club • Players who accept your game are now added to your club court reservation automatically, even if they accept seconds after you book. While it updates you'll see "Updating your reservation…", with nothing to tap. • Picking Singles when you book a court now sets the game to 2 players. • Checking court times at your club now shows a progress bar, and the app waits longer before giving up, so fewer "this is taking too long" messages. • Choosing a club that uses its own member login now asks you to sign in right away. • Finding a place to play is simpler: Find a Court, Add a Court and Favorites, in that order. • Found a club on Discover? Tap "Create a game here" to start a game there with the club already picked. • Clubs can now invite you to their events. Accept or decline right from the app. • After you create a game, one clear "Text N People" button when everyone still needs a text. • Plus smaller fixes and polish.

fixes a registration issue with a club

Run your club's tournaments right from your phone. Club managers can now create and run tournaments on iOS end to end — open registration, seed players, set up courts, advance rounds, and crown a champion — plus manage the roster and seeding on the go. Setting up a game is smoother too: • Pick any date — a new "More" option opens the full calendar, so you're no longer limited to the current week. • Choose whose game it is — set a game as personal or your club's right where you add players. It's pre-selected to match how you're using the app, and you can change it in a tap. • Clearer group selection and a few notification tweaks. Plus reliability fixes behind the scenes. Thanks for playing!

See who you're playing with Club pages and events now have a member list. Names and photos always show. Phone numbers and addresses appear only for people who choose to share them. Your details, your call A new "Hide my personal info" setting in your profile keeps your phone number and address off those lists. If you already hide yourself from standings, you're covered automatically, no action needed. Contacts, explained We now tell you what we do with your contacts before iPhone asks: we only ever look at a contact you pick for a game. iPhone asks once and only once, so choosing Full Access saves you typing friends' details by hand later. If you already granted limited access, every invite screen now explains why your list looks short. Less scrolling in events

Family accounts — add a child or family member to your account. They get their own username and password, and you manage everything from your profile. Ladders are clearer. When you create a game while a Ladder is running, we now ask whether it counts toward the event. Tap anyone's name on the standings to see the games behind their score. Playing in your own game? If you set one up and forgot to add yourself, there's now an "I'm playing" button. Inviting a whole event is faster — pick everyone in the event with one tap. After you create a game, we show who still needs a text from you and who already got a phone notification, so you don't text people twice. If a friend has more than one phone number or email, we now ask which one to use instead of guessing. Team leagues: see your team, your season table, and mark the weeks you're available. Captains can set the lineup. Fixes: your clubs list updates right away after you accept an invitation, club refunds go through properly, and phone numbers added after signup now get the right country.

Games can now grow: turn on Endless Courts and a new court opens automatically as more players join.

Auto Expand Number of Courts - use the new Endless Courts option when setting up a game, when one court fills, another court will be added to make room for additional player who accept the game invite. You can cap how many courts are added.

For Players Lessons and classes, where your club offers them Clubs can now run group classes properly, so you may start seeing them at yours. You can see what's on, sign up, and pay if there's a charge. Cancellation terms you can actually read When a lesson or class has a cancellation charge, you're told what it is before you book — and the amount you're shown is the amount that applies if you cancel late. Also fixed A late cancellation now costs you the club's stated fee, not the whole payment. If you paid with a punch card and the club charges nothing, your credit comes back. Game times in emails and reminders are anchored to the club's own clock. Messaging an organiser from a club game now opens the right conversation. For Clubs & Instructors A dashboard that tells you what needs you The club dashboard opens with two new areas. "Needs you" is a short list of things waiting on a person — a game short of players tomorrow, a payout that failed, somebody asking to join. It's ordered by what matters most, not by what happened most recently, and it empties itself as things resolve. "What's happened" is a running log of club activity, filterable by managers, members or instructors. If several of you manage the club, you can take an item so the others can see you have it. Roles for your managers Managers are no longer all-or-nothing. Choose Owner, Manager or Scheduler, change someone's role later, or remove them. Previously every co-manager could do everything, including refunds and messaging the whole club, and there was no way to take it back. Switch off what you don't do Turn off clinics, lessons, tournaments or anything else your club doesn't run, and those surfaces disappear for you and your members. This used to be our decision, made for every club at once. Classes have their own screen Group classes now live in their own place rather than buried under Instructors, and you can edit one — the time, the size, the price — instead of cancelling and starting again. You can run them from your phone for the first time. Your club details are yours Set your club's address and its timezone yourself. The address is what puts you on the map, so a club without one was invisible on Discover no matter what the settings said. Your own account Change your password and your email address from the portal, and sign out everywhere. Also fixed Tapping a game in the club portal keeps you in the club. Previously it dropped you into the player app with no way back. Adding a player to a club game now offers your club's groups and members, not just your personal contacts. Raising a class's capacity now lets people in off the waitlist, and moving one tells everyone signed up. Club games are created with your club's clock rather than none at all. A Scheduler can run an event end to end without being able to change what members are charged. The club Money view is now on iPhone as well as the web.

RacketBuddies 1.1.94 FOR PLAYERS Open your group up — or find one near you If you run a group, you can now make it Open so people nearby can find it on the map and ask to join. Groups stay private unless the owner or admin turns this on, and you pick the town your group is shown in — never a street address. You approve or decline every request. Photos that look right Game photos now fit the space properly instead of being awkwardly cropped. A map that keeps up Typing a town now moves the map, and the pins move with it. Sharing that works Invite links now open the app properly. And if you can't make a game, it's easier to pass the invite to someone who can. Fewer freezes We fixed the slowdowns behind the lock-ups people reported. Also fixed "My Games" no longer empties out after a notification When editing a game, "Cancel" no longer silently throws your changes away — and backing out warns you first Reminders now tell you how many players are genuinely still needed, instead of over-asking Handing a game to someone else no longer loses the game You can attach screenshots when replying to a support ticket Dates on your dashboard now read correctly FOR CLUBS & INSTRUCTORS A calendar that tells you what won't work There's a new club calendar. Rather than only showing what's on, it flags what's in trouble — sessions short on players with time running out — so you can step in before they fall over. Say when you're closed Mark holidays and closure days. Scheduling respects them, and you'll be shown anything already booked that clashes so nothing disappears without your say-so. Correct local time Club schedules are now anchored to your club's own timezone. Creating a game as your club Your club's address fills in automatically — your personal home address is never used. You can also select all your members at once instead of tapping through them one by one. Cancelling now tells people When you cancel a clinic or a game, everyone signed up is notified and anyone who paid is refunded automatically. Previously this could happen silently. Member lists Import from Excel as well as CSV. Names typed in a hurry are tidied up automatically. Also fixed Some managers couldn't see their own club — fixed Tapping a game in the calendar no longer bounces you into the player app The portal no longer offers a clinic it can't actually create Tournaments are dated by when play happens, and individual bracket matches no longer flood your games list Support tickets: reopen a closed one, assign it to yourself, and a customer's reply now pulls it out of "Waiting" Billing safeguards so a club that isn't being charged can't be locked out

Some of the people you invite never hear a word from us — we have no email for them, or they're not on the app yet. Until now nothing told you who. Your home screen now shows exactly who we couldn't reach, and lets you send them the invite in one go. Also in this update: • Emails and texts now show the game's own time zone, and say which one • Create your own club from the app • Share a game to any messaging app • Score ladders, edit what people bring, see who a poll went to • Filter your games list by upcoming, played, declined or no reply • A long list of club manager fixes

Your feedback, built: • Find your games faster — My Games now has filters: Upcoming, Past, and Declined. Changed your mind about a game you declined? It's one tap to find it and accept. • Edit what to bring — organizers can now add, remove, and update the bring list after a game is created (Change Game → What to bring). • Need more than one of something? Set how many of an item you need — each one can be claimed by a different player. Great for multi-court sessions. • Polls show who's included — everyone in a poll can now see who else was asked and who's voted. • Ladder scoring options — clubs can rank season ladders by weighted average with a minimum-games rule, so consistency wins. • Clearer message timestamps, tidier group member lists, and other polish.

New Group Text feature - once you create a game you can now text everyone in your game in one step. This helps your friends better understand that there is a pending game invite from you!

A clearer group roster - Group members now show who owns the group and who helps run it, and anyone who hasn't joined the app yet is clearly marked. Tap someone to open their profile.

PLAYERS • Set your preferred sport alongside your player level — Find it under Profile › Player Level & Sport. • Discover now opens on your sport, and you can filter courts by sport. • Notification sounds — new, and off by default. Turn them on under Profile › Notifications › Push Notifications. • More control over what you're notified about: five notification types that had no switch now have one. • Re-RSVP to a game within the allowed window. • Attach a screenshot when you report a problem. • Create a game: court details are tucked away until you need them, the flow guides you to the next step, and Favorites opens centre-screen. • Fixed: players no longer disappear from the seating on multi-court games. • Fixed: player counts on multi-court games — a three-court game no longer says it's full when it isn't. • Discover: the map refreshes as you move it, pins stack instead of overlapping, and open games stand out. CLUBS • Club pages: tap a club anywhere in the app to open its page. • Booking a court at your club: clearer sign-in, with progress shown while we verify your membership.

This update makes connecting your club and booking courts smoother: • After you link your club login, we now take you straight into picking a court — no more getting stuck. • Clearer messages when connecting your club account, so you know exactly what to do. • You can now remove someone from a game even if they haven't joined the app yet. • General performance and reliability improvements. See you on the court!

Groups, front and center — we swapped the tabs so Groups is easier to reach. New — Priority invites: group organizers can "star" their key players so they get first crack at new game invites, with everyone else invited shortly after. Turn it on per group. Smarter invites — when you text someone to invite them, we remember it and stop nagging you to reach out again. A gentle heads-up if you typed a player's name but forgot to add them before sending invites. Fewer unnecessary notifications from actions you took yourself. Faster answers with improved in-app help, plus behind-the-scenes fixes and polish.
