What's New in Cue Quest® Shot Clock
1.0.1
November 8, 2026
The remote is now one screen that follows the clock. In play: a big ring, a +EXT button per player with their name and extensions left, Pause and Reset, with setup behind the ⋯ menu. Stop the clock and the setup comes back. Fixed: when a display launched, both players showed their extensions as used up until names were saved. The display's title can show your venue. The codes also come back once a clock has sat at 0 for 3 seconds: For Spectators, and the right-hand code, which now takes turns between finding a table and getting Shot Clock. Paused and Ready now fade, and the number stays still. Remotes keep up at once. After you tap Start, every remote and the spectators' phones show it right away. New rack is smaller, and you can take it back: after it gives the extensions back, tap Undo. Identify flashes the whole display and shows its name, so you can tell which tablet is which. +EXT rests while the clock is stopped, so an extension can't be used up for nothing. The remote and the watch page can keep your phone's screen on during a shot. Message the display opens with what's already showing, so fixing a typo doesn't mean retyping it. A full-screen message pauses a running clock, and starting the clock clears the message. Buttons now respond the moment you touch them. On phones, the standalone clock now vibrates at 10 seconds, at 5 and at 0, like the remote. You can turn it off in Sound settings. New here? Tap How it works on the first screen for a short demo of the display, a remote and a spectator's phone.
