Bug Fix: Shot Tracking Now Works When Watch App Is Backgrounded What was happening: Shot data stopped being recorded the moment you pressed the Digital Crown to return to the watch face during an active session. Only shots hit while the app was visible on screen were counted. What we fixed: The Apple Watch app now correctly establishes its background workout session before starting the motion sensor. This ensures watchOS keeps the app running in the background — so your shots are tracked the entire time, whether you're looking at the app or not. What this means for you: Start a session, put your wrist down, play normally — every shot will be counted. You no longer need to keep the PickleRite screen open during your session.

- What's New Good Shots - Track your exceptional shots alongside your mistakes. Tap the Good Shot counter during a session to celebrate winning plays. The more Good Shots, the better — colors scale green as your count climbs. Available as a watch face complication so you can log great shots without opening the app. Positioning Error - A new pickle type to track wrong court positioning. Know when you're getting caught out of place so you can fix it in your next session. Tracks count, timeline, and syncs to your session history just like every other error type. Also available as a watch face complication. Details - Both new types appear in the Watch grid view with live count updates - Tap the complication on your watch face to log directly from the watch face - Session history on iPhone shows Good Shots and Positioning Errors in the breakdown - AI coaching insights include both new types automatically - Analytics charts updated to include Positioning Error trends over time - Good Shots are tracked separately from mistakes — they don't inflate your error count

Win / Loss Tracking - You can now record the result of every session — win or loss. Track your record over time, see how your mistake patterns differ between wins and losses, and get a clearer picture of what's driving your results on the court. Power Over Control Tracking — Now Fully Live - Power over control errors logged on your Apple Watch are now correctly captured and synced to your session history. Previously, these errors were tracked during your session but lost at submission. They now appear in your Pickle Breakdown, contribute to your performance trends, and sync to the cloud. Pickle Breakdown — Power Over Control Included - The Pickle Breakdown in Performance view now shows Power Over Control as its own category with count and percentage, alongside all other error types. Watch Settings — Improved Layout on 42mm The Watch Settings screen now fits properly on smaller Apple Watch models (42mm / 40mm). Cards, icons, and labels no longer overflow or overlap on compact display sizes. Bug Fixes & Improvements - Session reset on Apple Watch now correctly clears overhit return errors alongside all other error types - Total session error counts are now accurate when a session includes both overhit return and power over control errors - Analytics events now include power over control as a tracked error type when reporting session summaries

Shot Detection — now on Apple Watch - PickleRite now automatically counts your shots during a session using the Apple Watch gyroscope. No tapping required — just play. Shot Breakdown in Session Detail - After each session, see a full breakdown of your shot types (dinks, drives, lobs, smashes) along with your average and peak shot intensity. Review Your Shots - Open any session and review how each shot was classified. Confirm it looks right or pick the correct type — your feedback helps improve detection accuracy over time. Shot Detection Settings - New settings screen on Apple Watch lets you choose which wrist your watch is on, so detection is tuned to how you actually play. Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue where the Analytics tab reloaded health stats repeatedly on each visit - Improved the session screen on Apple Watch when no errors have been logged yet

Smarter Accuracy with Real Shot Tracking Your Apple Watch now uses the gyroscope to detect every shot you play — dinks, volleys, smashes and more. Accuracy is no longer estimated from a fixed baseline; it's calculated from your actual shot count, giving you a true picture of your performance on the court.
