What's New

iOS 6.44.0

Round Replay is now open to every member, your putting stats show what's behind your three-putts, and Apple Watch keeps you on the right hole.

New

• Round Replay for everyone: Tap Watch Round Replay on any finished round to relive it shot by shot. Each hole plays out on the satellite map with shot tracers and the club and lie for every shot, while your score, fairways, greens and Strokes Gained add up as you go. Pause, scrub or speed it up anytime.
• What's behind your three-putts: Your putting card now shows what's causing three-putts, based on how far your first putt leaves you.
• Check your sensors: A new sensor check tests each club's sensor, with a Run Again option if something looks off.

Improved

• Right hole on Apple Watch: Your watch no longer jumps back to a hole you've already played.
• Accurate shot times on Apple Watch: Shots are now timed when you hit them, not when your watch syncs with your phone.
• Typical-Shot Score: The Skill Score card is now called Typical-Shot Score, with clearer wording about the shots you gain and lose.

Fixed

• Signing in: The app no longer gets stuck on "Signing you in…"
• Where is My Arccos Air: The Close button works again when you open it from Settings, then Diagnostics.
• Stability: Fixed a Bluetooth-related crash and two causes of slowdowns in the background.

iOS 6.43.1

Your Arccos Air now stays connected through brief signal drops, so you can stop force-quitting the app.

Improved

• Arccos Air stays connected: Your Air rides out brief signal drops on its own. No more force-quitting to get it back.
• Back in the round sooner: When your Air does disconnect, it reconnects faster.
• Fewer prompts in phone mode: The Bluetooth prompt now appears only when you use a Bluetooth feature, not at the start of every phone-mode round.

Fixed

• No more ghost pairing prompts: An Air you used before can no longer interfere with the one in your bag today.
• No false Smart Laser alerts: Opening the app no longer shows a "disconnected" alert for your Smart Laser.
• Stability: Fixes for an Air that could get stuck connecting and for a crash on the Air pairing screen.

iOS 6.42.0

Record penalty strokes right on your scorecard, and keep the edits you make by hand.

Shots stay on the right hole during shotgun starts, and your round breakdown now leads with your goal.

New

• Strokes Gained against your goal: Your round breakdown now starts with how you played against your goal.
• Holed-out distances: Round Details now shows how far your holed shots were.

Improved

• Every hole counts the same: Your scoring average now weighs every hole equally, with your score to par underneath.
• Japanese and Korean: Translations updated throughout the app.

Fixed

• Shotgun starts: Starting on a different hole, or going back to an earlier one, no longer puts shots on the wrong hole.
• Up & Down that matches: Your Up & Down stat now shows the same number in Activity and on the round.

iOS 6.39.0

Arccos Air firmware updates no longer stop you from teeing off, and rounds no longer end while you're still playing.

Fixed

New

• Rate your warm-up: Give your pre-round warm-up a thumbs up or down, or generate a fresh plan.

Improved

• Apple Watch and phone in sync: Gimme putts are no longer counted twice, shots you delete on your phone disappear from your watch too, and pins you set on your watch carry over.
