Sharper stats, a live screen made for a quick glance, and a redesigned Apple Watch app. GPS + MOTION PlayerShape now combines GPS with the motion sensors of your iPhone or Apple Watch while you play. • Sprints, accelerations and decelerations are counted from how you actually moved, not from GPS noise • Steadier live speed • More accurate GPS: every location reading is used and poor ones are filtered out • Distance no longer adds up across GPS gaps, such as the half-time break • In Settings, choose where you carry your phone (pocket, waistband, armband or vest), or switch the motion sensors off at any time NEW: MOVEMENT SECTION (PRO) New sessions measured with GPS + motion get a Movement section: • Changes of direction, with your left and right split • Running cadence • Movement load: how much work your body did • A Turns tab in the 5-minute breakdown • Jumps and impacts (experimental) A NEW LIVE SCREEN • A big clock and four key stats fill the screen, no scrolling • GPS signal and watch status at the top • In matches: Half-time and Start 2nd half, with a break timer • Heart rate in the same five zones as your watch • Hold to end, so a tap in your pocket can't finish your session REDESIGNED APPLE WATCH APP • One simple list: Match, Training, Sync and Settings • Get ready: GPS warms up first and you feel a tap when it locks on. Nothing records until you press Start • A glance screen with time, distance and heart-rate zone, with the controls one swipe away • Water Lock on start, match halves, a half-time timer and time alerts • A summary when you finish, with live sync status • The Sync screen shows what is sending, queued or failed.
