- App Store Screenshot & Title + Subtitle Updates 1. New onboarding route: video-only calibration (no Apple Watch required to start). The welcome screen now offers "Start with video only" alongside the existing watch calibration and demo. The user subscribes first (the same mandatory paywall, with camera-specific copy — no analysis ever runs pre-payment), films one swing, and receives a pro match computed from video signals alone, labelled with a "VIDEO READ" chip. The app persistently encourages pairing an Apple Watch ("the full read"); when watch calibration later completes, the match upgrades silently. To test: fresh install → "Start with video only" → sandbox purchase → film a swing → ~2-minute analysis → pro-match reveal. The existing watch route and demo mode are unchanged; the sandbox reviewer bypass still works. 2. First use of local notifications (new permission prompt). Video analyses now continue in the background when the user navigates away. The notification permission is requested contextually — only the first time a user leaves a screen with a live analysis, never at launch. Three notification types: "analysis ready," "analysis couldn't finish," and "analysis paused — tap to reopen" (iOS suspends background decoding; the tap resumes it). Tapping deep-links to that swing's results. No remote notifications, no push entitlement. 3. Analysis runs longer, with honest progress. The 3-D measurement pass is substantially more thorough (dense whole-swing sampling), so an analysis takes ~2–7 minutes. The UI states this plainly, shows a determinate progress bar, an app-wide progress pill, and lets the user leave and return — including during onboarding calibration. 4. Major analysis-quality overhaul (no new data collection). Turn measurement rebuilt (continuous 3-D curve, plausibility gates, camera-angle detection); grades now cap when too few checks could run — a swing can no longer score "A" on thin evidence; tempo is always displayed with an uncertainty label when applicable, plus a frame-by-frame counter so users can verify it by eye; new fault detection: "across the line / laid off at the top"; ball detection now works for coloured range balls, enabling estimated launch stats; club-shaft tracking improved for outdoor footage. 5. New viewing features. Drag-to-orbit 3-D skeleton per swing position (with club, clubhead arc, and gold "target zone" ranges on turn faults), body-direction arrows on stills, the broadcast tracer drawn on position stills, a PDF swing-report export via the system share sheet, and a consolidated Home ("Analyse" card with last-analysis summary; Progress in the quick-action grid).
