What's New in Court Canvas
1.14.0
August 18, 2026
Court themes. Seven full looks for the board and everything around it — clay scorebook, blueprint, arcade, riso zine and more. Club Scorebook is the new default: clay court, paper chrome, navy ink. Pick yours in Profile. Using every theme is a Pro feature; everyone gets the new default and Classic. The board reads like a broadcast diagram now. Shots keep their taper and lose the clutter: open arrowheads, no stray dots or rings, cones and targets drawn flat. Playback follows one ball, and the ending settles with a single bloom where the last shot lands. New: - Hold for pace. Draw a shot and rest your finger at the landing point: one, two or three cut marks behind the arrowhead set the pace, and the ball travels faster in playback and in shared clips. - On iPad the tools sit at the screen edges and the Playbook opens beside the court, so you can browse plays with the board in view. - The Share card names its formats plainly: Image, Animation, Video, Voice-over, Live link. Fixed: - The corner buttons answer everywhere, including their corners. - Scrubbing ticks once per step, not twice. - Redo covers deletes: remove a shot mid-play, push Undo toward the court, and it comes back where it was. Same as always: no account needed, and your plays stay yours.
