What's New in Next Inning

0.4.4

September 15, 2026

Find your field by name, bring players back, and a steadier dugout. Search ball parks by name. Type "Kulwicki Park" and the map goes straight there. Before, iPhone and iPad search only really understood street addresses. Bring a player back. Players you mark inactive now live in an Inactive list on the roster, where you can reactivate them. A player added by mistake, who has never played, can be deleted. Shift, off by default. Player chips on the field no longer move when you drag one by accident. Tap a position to swap someone in, and turn on Shift in the corner of the field when you really do want to rearrange your defense. Season hitting stats beside the batting order, with a quick toggle to hide them. Suggested lineups now respect pitcher rest, and warnings appear at the moment you make a lineup decision instead of in a separate panel. A reminder for games that were never ended, so their innings count toward fairness. Larger text in the places coaches said were hard to read at the field, and a tidier Settings screen. Plus fixes: fairness numbers now use your whole current roster, saving a new player can no longer create a second copy, team chat no longer flickers, and the app tells you when an update is ready to restart into.

Great and Practical!

I used the app for my team over the weekend and was shocked at how easy it made managing my lineups on game days. Highly recommend. We’ll continue to use it!

Fantastic App!

Saves me time in the dugout and allows me to focus on the game. Easy for the kids to understand during the game. Parent who is running game changer often comes to look at it to see who is playing where each inning defensively since sometimes the kids are hard to tell apart. Would be nice if game changer would sync with this and vice versa, but they’ve locked everyone out of integration.
