Rally opens fast now. • Much faster start — Rally opens straight onto your Home instead of holding a loading screen. • Smoother feed — scrolling drops far fewer frames. • Faster chat and profile — conversations open on the messages you already have. • Better on a bad connection — Rally shows what it has instead of a spinner, and a dropped signal no longer signs you out. • Works offline — opened with no signal, Rally still shows your Home from the last time it loaded. • Comments appear as you post them. • Stability fixes.

Meet Ral, Rally’s mascot — he walks you through your first session. Group leaderboards now show who is still in placement, and a match logged from both phones counts once. Live Score and profile sharing simplified. Fixes.

Groups: start your own group and invite friends with a code or QR — your own leaderboard beside your hostel's. Notifications rebuilt: better timing, an Intensity setting (Quiet / Normal / Locked In), and a catch-up card when you've been away. Fixes.

New Groups tab. Join your hostel's leaderboard with the code on its poster and see who's on top this week — your Rally Rating stays exactly as it is, the board only ranks it. Academy lives in the same tab. Fixes.

Confirming a match is instant and consistent everywhere: one tap, a clear "Confirming…" state, and the same result on Home, in Notifications and on every phone you use. Notifications name who logged the match. Fixes.

Challenges live on your home screen — accept, decline or log the match right there. A match logged against you appears the moment it happens. Any "best of" in the live scorer. Profile photos are checked before they go public. Academy improvements, faster profile loading, fixes.

Push notifications for everything, including chat. Challenges appear in your chat with a timeline. Academy: student pillars, batches, absences reach your coach, forgotten check-outs close themselves. Profile stats from day one. Nearby in Discover. Private accounts. Rating handles doubles. Group chat safeguards. Hold a tab and slide.

Your academy, made simple. • The academy screen is now one clear page for students: what is on today, checking in, where you stand, and what to play next — no more hunting through tabs. • Checking in is one control. If your academy has a door code, scanning it is right there, and it only appears when the door will actually open. • Pick how your matches look. Choose Scoreboard, Court or Broadsheet in Settings, and your feed and your shareable cards both follow. • A new Scoreboard card for sharing, built to sit on top of a photo so your scores stay readable. • Add achievements you won before Rally, and have your academy verify them. • A match you log now shows up straight away, and you are told before an unconfirmed match runs out of time. Plus a fix for getting stuck on the chat screen, faster loading, and a handful of smaller repairs.

Achievements are here. You earn them by playing, and nobody can award themselves one. The match screen now draws the whole fixture rather than just your opponent, and the people you are playing show up as people. Your own photo sits behind your stats, and your profile shows your bio — which, for twelve unlucky people, had been showing raw code instead. Students can see when their academy access runs out instead of finding out the hard way. Plus a native top bar on both platforms, gestures that follow your finger, and tabs that arrive where you tapped.

Everything an academy needs, in one place. Appoint coaches and assistants and decide what each can do. Mark attendance for any day and fix the ones you missed. Print a check-in code for the door so students sign themselves in. Sort people into batches. Run a tournament with a proper seeded draw and let everyone follow it on their phones. An academy can now be archived and brought back, so its attendance and match history are never lost. Signing in on iPhone is now email and password.
