Also: improved portrait layout and more stable detection when rotating the device. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-07 New in this version: Statistics are now on pro level: • First-9 Average + "Setup vs Finish" gap — shows whether you lose points while scoring or finishing. • Highest Checkout, Best Leg (darts), Avg Darts per Leg (DPL), Bust rate. • 180 / 140+ / 100+ counter tiles. • Cricket: real MPR (Marks per Round) and PPR (Points per Round) per PDC convention. • Around the Clock: average darts to finish + hit rate on the current target. Mode sections only appear when you actually have history in that mode. Please test: 1. Browse the Stats tab: do the new values reflect your match history correctly? On a fresh profile the X01/Cricket/AtC sections should only appear once you've played in that mode. 2. During an X01 match, throw a few turns and open the Stats tab after the match: do First-9 Average, Highest Checkout and Best Leg match what happened? 3. Play a Cricket match and check MPR + PPR in the Stats tab (typical hobby values: 2–4 MPR). 4. Play one full Around the Clock match (1 to Bull). Are Avg Darts to Finish and Hit Rate correct? 5. Older matches (from before the update) should still appear in History — the new values are reconstructed from the existing data. Also bundled from v1.2.0 (in case you haven't tested it yet): • Cricket player card with vertical hit pips • Around the Clock shows a real schematic dartboard (red = hit, green = next target) • "Hit only" sound mode (no voice) • "Play again" button on the match end screen ### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-06 New in this version: • Around the Clock: the player card now shows a real schematic dartboard — fields already hit are red, the next target is green. See your progress at a glance. • Cricket: the player card is now vertical. Each number has three hit pips (●●●) that fill one by one; closed numbers are highlighted. All targets (15, 16, …, 20, Bull) stay visible even on narrow screens. • New sound mode "Hit only": plays just the hit click per dart, no voice announcement. Perfect for game modes where the exact score doesn't matter. • Match end: a new "Play again" button on the result screen — instantly starts a new round with the same players and settings, no detour through setup. Please test: 1. Play Around the Clock from 1 to Bull — do the red/green markers move to the correct fields? 2. Cricket match with 2+ players: hit 20, 19, …, Bull. Do the pips fill correctly? Does the "closed" badge appear after three hits? 3. Sound-mode toggle in the throw console: click through Per dart / Per turn / Hit only and throw a few darts in each. 4. After a finished match, tap "Play again" — same players in the same order, same game mode and check-out? ### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-05 What's New in Version 1.1.0 You can now play against the computer! • Dartbots – realistic CPU opponents that throw like real players: sometimes brilliant, sometimes shaky, with real ups and downs instead of a perfect machine. • Five difficulty levels – from Beginner to World Class. Beginners spray across the board, pros nail the 20. • Adaptive SmartBot – adjusts its strength to your level to keep matches close. • Every game mode – 501, Cricket, training and more. • Ready to go – Player 1 and 2 are already bots; add more anytime under "Players". Plus minor improvements to the scoring pad. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-29 EN: Correct App Store language listing (DE/EN/NL). Improved iPad layout on rotation and iPhone landscape pad. Clearer voice. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
