## What is Peg Draws?

Peg Draws is a fishing match management app built for The Alford Danglers club.
  
  FEATURES:
  • Fair randomised peg draw with animated slot-machine reveal
  • Auto-draw all pegs at once or one at a time
  • WhatsApp-ready draw sheet to share with the group
  • Live sessions — all members join on their own phone in real time
  • Catch recording with photos and weights (lbs + oz)
  • Live leaderboard sorted by weight with medal rankings
  • Export results as PDF
  • Save and view past sessions
  
  HOW IT WORKS:
  The host sets up a draw, enters the venue and angler names, and starts a live session. Members join using a 6-character code. Everyone can record their catch in real time and watch the leaderboard update live.
  
  2. DEVICES TESTED:
  iPhone 17 Pro Max simulator — iOS 26
  iPhone (physical device) — iOS 26
  
  3. APP DESCRIPTION:
  Peg Draws is a fishing match management app built exclusively for
  The Alford Danglers, a private coarse fishing club in the UK. It
  solves the problem of running fair, unbiased peg draws at the
  lakeside without pen and paper. It also allows all club members to
  log catches in real time and see a live leaderboard during the match.

  4. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: 
  No account or login is required. To test:

  Host flow:
  1. Open the app
  2. Enter a venue name (e.g. "Farlows Lake"), your name, and number
     of pegs (e.g. 24)
  3. Tap "Create Session" — a 6-character code is generated
  4. Other anglers open the app, enter the code and their name,
     tap "Join Draw"
  5. Once anglers have joined, host taps "Start Draw"
  6. Pegs are assigned one at a time with an animated draw
  7. During the match, any member taps "Add Catch" on the Catch tab
     to log weight and photo
  8. Leaderboard tab shows live rankings by weight

  To test solo: open the app on two devices — one as host,
  one joining with the session code.

  5. EXTERNAL SERVICES:
  - Google Firebase Firestore — stores live session data, angler
    lists, catch weights and saved results
  - Google Firebase Storage — stores catch photos uploaded
    during a match

  6. REGIONAL DIFFERENCES:
  The app functions consistently across all regions. There are no
  regional differences in features or content.

  7. REGULATED INDUSTRY:
  This app does not operate in a regulated industry and does not                                                                                         
  include any third-party protected material. It is a private utility
  app for an informal fishing club.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-08

Fixed catch uploads in live sessions.

Previously, when several anglers uploaded a catch at the same time they all filed against the same name, so only one catch survived and later uploads replaced it. Each catch is now saved separately against the angler whose phone it came from.

You can also log more than one fish now — tap a catch to edit it or remove it, and the leaderboard adds up your total across every fish you've logged.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-05

Added a Solo Draw mode — run a draw entirely offline, no internet needed.
  Live sessions now clean up properly when the host ends them.
  Fixed the PDF export not saving results.
  General reliability and cleanup improvements.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-31

No release notes.
