RECORD THROWS FROM YOUR WRIST • Apple Watch app: mark where you threw from and where it landed, no phone needed. • Accurate GPS: every point averages a burst of readings for a steadier fix. • Keep playing: start your next throw from your last lie, and undo a mistake with a tap. • Double Tap on supported Apple Watch models to mark throws hands-free. • Sessions are saved to Apple Health as Disc Sports workouts and count towards your Activity rings. SEE HOW YOUR BAG FLIES • Flight charts: see the estimated flight of every disc, tuned to your arm speed. • Your real flight numbers: beat-in or unusual disc? Enter how it actually flies and the charts follow. • Bag coverage: a speed-by-stability grid shows where your bag has gaps and which discs overlap. • Fill the gaps: tap a gap to see discs you already own that would fill it. • Multiple bags: build a bag for each course or condition, and pick your active bag on iPhone or Watch. PLAN EVERY SHOT • Rangefinder: measure the distance to your target on an interactive satellite map. • Elevation and wind: factor in height differences and live wind speed and direction. • Smart disc suggestions: recommendations based on how far you actually throw each disc. TRACK YOUR GAME • Statistics and charts: averages, longest throws and distance distributions by disc and throw type. • Filter and edit: find throws by disc, date or throw type, and fix details afterwards. • Your go-to throw: set your dominant throw once and it's preselected every time. • iCloud sync: your discs, bags and throws stay in sync between your iPhone and Apple Watch.
