What's new

1.3.1

28 August 2026

Added

• Freehand routes can be smoothed, so a shaky line still reads as the shape you meant.
• Notes can be written before a play is saved.
• My Plays shows which plays have notes.

Changed

• Avatars upload as JPEG, so they're much smaller and quicker.
• Removed the default line-style picker, which didn't affect anything.

Fixed

• Drawing stays on the playing surface instead of running off it.
• Notes history opens when a play has no notes yet.
• Team names refresh when you come back to the designer, so a renamed team isn't stale.
• The arrow list's notation menu no longer overflows its panel.
• Sport icons for lacrosse, volleyball and football.
• Player shapes for basketball, soccer and football.

1.3.0

23 August 2026

Changed

• Reworked interface and a new colour scheme throughout.
• Plays are stored in field measurements rather than screen pixels, so a play drawn on one device looks the same on another.

Fixed

• Choosing which team a play is visible to.
• A crash when a message appeared at the wrong moment.
• Avatar and team logo upload.
• Images no longer spill outside their frame.
• The radius of the net on the hockey rink.
