Changelog
What shipped.
Every release, by platform, newest first. iPhone and Apple Watch builds ship through TestFlight during the beta. The web app updates as changes land.
iPhone and Apple Watch
- Range and Simulator sessions now log shots without GPS or a workout.
- Clubs without a set carry show a dash and are left out of suggestions, with a nudge to set them.
- A rapid second Track tap on the watch now says "already logged" instead of showing a checkmark.
- Unmapped tees show a dash instead of 0 yards.
- Smoother watch display during a round, with less battery spent redrawing.
- Faster course maps on the phone.
- Better crash and error reporting on both devices, so problems can be diagnosed from your reports.
- No changes to how anything works.
- Deleting a shot on the watch now removes it everywhere; it used to come back a few seconds later.
- Watch rounds started without the phone nearby can advance through every hole.
- A typed handicap index stays put instead of being overwritten.
- Scores entered on the watch no longer get reverted by a late update from the phone.
- Ending a round on the phone reliably stops the watch's GPS and workout.
- Better sync reliability when the phone is signed out or offline, and clearer error reporting on both devices.
- Course search now shows an error instead of an empty list when the lookup fails.
- Repeat taps within a few seconds no longer log duplicate shots.
- Penalty strokes count when the watch checks a hole's shot count against its score.
- Watch rounds started without the phone keep their green distances.
- Reliability work in the watch-to-phone sync layer.
- Simple scoring and Score only modes live in Profile, under Scoring. Simple scoring saves a hole as soon as you pick a score, with no putts or stats questions. Score only hides shot logging entirely, so a round is just the scorecard. Both apply on the watch as well as the phone, and both are off by default.
- Practice distances now measure from a placeable origin instead of raw GPS.
- Out of bounds is labelled like any other hazard on the round map.
- Settings switches now read clearly when on.
Two new scoring options in Profile, both off by default.
- Simple scoring: pick your score and you are done. No putts or stats questions after each hole.
- Score only: hides shot logging entirely, so a round is just the scorecard.
- Both apply on the watch as well as the phone.
- Out of bounds now shows yardages like bunkers and water.
- Practice mode lets you drag your position so distances work when you are not at the course.
- Hole corridors no longer draw over the map.
- Practice mode: live GPS distances on the practice area, with a target pin you can drop and drag to measure to any spot.
- Fixes a scoring bug where a hole could be saved with the wrong par if the phone app restarted mid-round.
- The watch and phone stay in sync on the current hole more reliably.
- Walk-back distance on the watch now updates the instant you log a shot, instead of briefly showing the previous shot's yardage.
- Fixes the hole-by-hole scorecard in round replay: it now shows the round's real scores instead of placeholder numbers with a question mark.
Round screen improvements.
- Shot plans now build from the clubs in your bag.
- Driver is only suggested for your opening shot on each hole.
- On doglegs, each shot aims a full carry toward the green.
- The Log button, the map, and the watch now always agree on the suggested club.
- The aim line stays glued to your position dot while dragging in preview.
- Your Apple Watch now opens automatically when you start a round from your iPhone.
- Plays-like distances now compute on device for faster updates.
- Assorted fixes.
- Round sync reliability overhaul: shot and score data now survives connectivity loss and syncs when back online.
- Log shots directly from the iPhone with the club chip and Log Shot button on the round screen.
- Club pickers are grouped by category.
- Date display fixes.
The first TestFlight build.
- On-course round tracking: start a round on iPhone, log shots from the Apple Watch, and review GPS positions and shot history on the phone.
Web
- Connecting an AI client to your Wandering Golf data now goes through an explicit consent step, and every connection uses a registered redirect with PKCE.
Course explorer and course pages.
- The explorer has a broadcast layout for wide desktop monitors, and a hole picker replaces the sidebar.
- Pick a tee from a menu instead of a chip per tee. Tee and pin markers now read as a tee and a pin.
- A tee is listed once on a course page, even when the course publishes ratings for several tee sets.
- The explorer, the courses index, the round replay, and the course page share the same map controls.
