## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.04 — 2026-06-11

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.0.4

Two improvements to NBA Playoff Pickem:

• Round results stay until you've seen them — the end-of-round results card can now only be closed with its Done button. Previously, an accidental swipe could dismiss it permanently and you'd never see that round's recap; now a swipe won't make it disappear for good, and it comes back until you tap Done. (Behind the scenes, the acknowledgment is also now tracked per pool, so closing a recap in one pool never hides recaps in another.)

• Smoother All Picks and Bump Chart — fixed a freeze that could hang the app when opening All Picks in larger pools, and the Bump Chart now loads its standings from the server, making it faster.

Under the hood: the app now reports when results recaps are shown and acknowledged (anonymous counts, no pick data), so display problems can be caught and fixed quickly. Leaders, sign-in, demo flow, account deletion, push notifications, and Odds Lab are unchanged from 1.0.3.

### 1.03 — 2026-06-01

Two additions to NBA Playoff Pickem:

• Leaders — a new screen that ranks everyone in your pool by category. Open it from the avatar menu in the top-right. See who has the most series picks correct, the most prop picks correct, and the most parlays won — plus playful superlatives: Upset Hunter, Best Accuracy, Best Round, Contrarian, Biggest Riser, and Parlay Bonus. Switch between stats, filter by round, and tap anyone's name to view their picks.

• Tap a name to see their picks — usernames in the standings and All Picks views are now tappable and open that person's pick history, matching the web app.

Under the hood: improved error reporting. Demo flow, sign-in, account deletion, push notifications, and Odds Lab behavior are
unchanged from 1.0.2.

### 1.02 — 2026-05-21

Fix: on some iPhones the parlay pick on the NBA dashboard was hidden behind the bottom tab bar, or showed "No" pre-selected before you'd actually picked — so a saved pick could appear made when it wasn't. The card now shows neither button selected until you tap one, and there's enough room to scroll all the way to it. Plus assorted polish.

### 1.01 — 2026-05-15

New: round-by-round push notifications. We'll let you know when picks are due, when a round locks, and when results come in.

This update also smooths the first-time experience for friends joining a pool, brings All Picks filters into parity with the web app, and polishes the dashboard, Odds Lab, and round results. Plus assorted bug fixes.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-09
