Completely redesigned start screen
New STOP start screen with an overview at a glance: selected preset, ends, arrows per end, group mode, and starting group
Settings now accessible via the gear icon, with the info page linked from there
AB/CD starting group can be switched directly on the start screen – handy for correcting the order after an abort
Unlimited number of rounds (∞) possible, until manually stopped
More control during the competition
New "Abort" button: stops immediately and jumps straight back to the start screen, no intermediate step
New "Continue" button: ends the current shooting time early (to the next group or to "collect arrows") – handy when all arrows are shot before time runs out
Shooting time can now be adjusted in 5-second increments
New follow-up shooting mode
Standalone sequence for individual follow-up arrows with a selectable arrow count (1–6)
Shows the calculated total time live
Follow-up time per arrow configurable in settings
Layout & usability
Time and status now fill the screen optimally, in both portrait and landscape
Screen stays awake during an active competition (no automatic lock)
Current time visible in landscape mode
Completely redesigned Apple Watch app
Now uses the full screen: large, easy-to-read display of time, group, and status
Tapping switches to a button view with all relevant actions – hides itself automatically afterward
All functions remote-controllable: start, pause, abort, advance, AB/CD toggle, follow-up shooting including arrow count selection, "back to start"
Significantly more reliable connection between iPhone and Watch, including automatic reconnect
