What’s new
Version 1.5 · Updated October 27, 2026
Sixes — Best Ball tiebreaker Best Ball now uses the 2nd score to break ties instead of halving. If both teams match on their best score, the lower 2nd score wins the hole. In 3-player games, tied best scores still halve (no 2nd score to compare). The result banner shows the full picture — “4–4, 2nd 4 vs 5” — so everyone knows exactly how the hole was decided. Skins — Carry over fix Deselecting carry over in setup now correctly prevents tied skins from rolling over. Previously the in-game carry counter ignored the setting even though the final results screen respected it. Dynamic Island fix Top buttons were being blocked on newer iPhones across Strokeplay scorecard, Animal Farm scorecard, Rounds, and Select Game screen. All headers now sit below the Dynamic Island correctly.
