What's New in zRef

2.3

February 9, 2026

- Added the ability to modify events. In the current report view (accessible from the action menu), there is a new button allowing you to change and remove events. - Partially fixed a bug where the workout mode would end while a game is still in session. Opening the action menu (pressing and holding the start/stop button) will reset the workout mode if it had stopped for whatever reason. - Fixed the prompt to eject a player when they receive a second caution. - Minor performance improvements

Only a timer

Something might be broken but there’s no option to keep score or do anything other than time.

Response from developer

Hello. All logging functions, including goals, can be accessed from the action menu. You can open the action menu by pressing and holding the start/stop button.

Great app

This is very basic but functional app for soccer/football referees. We just need the ability to start an additional timer for injury/stoppage and then run that timer up…then down to complete the half. Otherwise a great app

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! I have added an “injury” button in the action menu (can be accessed by pressing and holding the pause button). Please make sure you have the latest version of the app for it to work.
