GoalCast is a year-round football companion for fans who follow club competitions: fixtures and scores, standings when available, pre-match score picks with on-device points, and a Home Screen widget for your favorite team. What you can do • Browse fixtures: kick-off times, stage, status, and scores. • Switch competitions in More—schedule and tables follow the active competition. • Pull to refresh over HTTPS; data may lag slightly versus live broadcasts. • View standings when the data source provides them; group-stage qualification hints appear only when relevant. • Set home/away score picks before kick-off; picks lock when the match starts. • After full time, earn entertainment points with transparent rules (see Picks → How it works). • Keep past competition picks in Picks → Archive when you switch competitions. • Optional local kick-off reminders and post-match settlement alerts. • Add a Home Screen widget for your team’s next match or live score (set a favorite team first). • Share pick cards and a prediction report via the system share sheet. Privacy (summary) • Picks and points stay on this device. Fixtures and standings load over the network. • No developer cloud accounts. Notifications use system local notifications after you allow them. Important • Not affiliated with any league, federation, or tournament organizer. • Scores and tables come from a third-party sports data feed and may be delayed or incomplete. • Picks and points are for entertainment only—no gambling and no cash or equivalent prizes.

Wall Survey keeps measured wall observations in a saved notebook and compares two passes from the same reference edge. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Survey and create a wall with a name and measured span. 2. Add observations for pass 1 and pass 2 using distances you measure along the wall. Add a live magnetic reading when supported. 3. Choose a matching tolerance, inspect paired and unmatched marks, then share the survey or reopen it later. Sweep, signal strip, heat maps, sensitivity controls, journal and planning tools remain available. Low readings no longer claim a wall is safe to drill, and unsupported hardware no longer receives synthetic magnetic readings. WHAT TO KNOW Distances are entered measurements, not motion tracking. A repeated signal is not proof of a stud or a safe drilling location. The app cannot rule out hidden electrical, plumbing, gas or other services. Use suitable tools before drilling. Devices without a magnetometer support manual surveys and show an unavailable-sensor message. iPhone and iPad.
