• New: Power saving mode. The app scans at a lower rate until a basket is found, then measures at full speed — same accuracy, less battery over a long practice session. A yellow bolt under the FPS readout shows it's on. • In power saving the camera itself also runs at a lower frame rate, saving even more battery. The preview is slightly less smooth there — on purpose. • Automatic heat protection, always on: if your phone runs hot, ChainRanger cools itself down in controlled steps instead of slowing down unpredictably. A red thermometer shows when it's active; readings still work, they just settle a little slower. • New guide entries for Power saving and the "Phone in front of marker" setting.

• Calibrate at any known distance: type the distance you're standing at (2–100 m / 7–328 ft) — for example the hole length from the tee sign — aim, and set your focal length. No more fixed 5 m / 10 m spots. • New "Phone forward of marker" setting: account for how far in front of your marker you hold the phone, so readings measure from the marker. • Feet mode now shows basket sizes and the marker offset in inches. • More reliable LiDAR readings on Pro iPhones, especially on dark-colored baskets. • Bigger lens buttons, a calibration panel that fits smaller screens, and keyboard fixes.

This update focuses on accuracy, speed, and reliability: • More accurate, more reliable basket detection — especially for baskets farther away. • Corrected dimensions for the DiscGolfPark Pro Target basket. • Smoother camera: the view stays responsive while detection runs. • LiDAR (Pro devices): clearer guidance for lens choice and bright sunlight, plus more reliable distance readings. • Faster model loading when the camera opens. • More dependable purchase and restore handling. • Additional stability fixes.

• Plays-like distance (premium): on uphill and downhill holes, see what the throw really plays like — a disc-flight model converts the slope into an equivalent flat-ground distance (shown beyond 20 m). • Basket presets: pick your target's exact model — 10 PDGA-verified baskets built in, plus finer manual size adjustment in 0.5 cm steps. • LiDAR precision on iPhone Pro models: razor-sharp close-range readings using the LiDAR scanner. • Accuracy and stability improvements.

• LiDAR assist: iPhone Pro models now use the LiDAR scanner for extra-accurate readings at close range, fused automatically with camera-based measurement. • Tape-free calibration: calibrate the camera and basket size with LiDAR — no measuring tape needed. • Improved accuracy: recalibrated measurement weighting and a new viewing-angle correction for uphill and downhill throws. • Better readings in tricky light: exposure and focus now automatically follow the detected basket. • Steadier results: frames blurred by fast movement are skipped. • The stop button now holds your last reading instead of clearing it. • A gentle haptic tap confirms when the reading has stabilized. • On-screen tips help when a reading won't lock — step closer or change your angle. • New in-app guide covering all features and how to get the best results. • Refreshed control layout with a taller camera view.
