What's New

Every update since launch. AI announcers, song-snippet SFX, player sharing, between-innings music, and more.

v1.10.0

Your teams, on every device

📱

Your Teams, on Every Device

Sign in and your teams come with you. Build a roster on your iPhone and it's waiting on another phone or the web the moment you sign in there, with no sharing step and no setup. Switch devices and everything is right where you left it.

Just sign in on any device. Your teams sync on their own, and it's free.
v1.9.9

Announcer variety, GameChanger import & more voices

🌊
🔀

Every At-Bat, a Little Different

Your announcer can now mix it up from batter to batter instead of reading the same line every time. Dial it Off, Subtle, or Hype for the whole team, or set it per player. Off keeps the classic call; Subtle and Hype are Pro.

Edit Team → Wording → Variety. Set the team baseline, then override any player.
📷
📋

Coming From GameChanger? Just Scan.

Creating a new team now reads GameChanger's "Share Starting Lineup" QR code directly. Point the scanner at it and your whole roster drops in, no retyping.

New Team → Scan Lineup Card. The QR is picked up automatically.
🎭
🌊

More Voices in the Booth

Ring Master, Game Show, Premier, Trail Sheriff, Mad Scientist, Disco MC, and Fortune Teller are all calling lineups again. The full Character Voices roster is back for your next player.

Edit a player → Voice → Character Voices.
🔀
👥

Shuffle the Order, Manage With Ease

Randomize your batting order with one tap, and the new Manage Players mode shows active, benched, and absent players in color at a glance. Easier to scan before first pitch.

Roster → ••• → Manage Players, then tap Randomize.
v1.9.8

Polish under the hood

Smoother every game

We're always tuning GameDay DJ behind the scenes. Small fixes, performance touch-ups, and refinements that keep game day fast, smooth, and reliable. Nothing new to learn; just a better experience every time your players step up to the plate.

Keep auto-updates on so you've always got the latest improvements on game day.
v1.9.7

Your imports, smarter scans & one-tap invites

📷
🔀

Smarter Lineup Scanning

Scanning a lineup card now leads straight into the right place: if it's a team you already have, we reorder it; if it's brand new, we offer to create the team for you with the detected name, colorful jersey badges, and a clean roster preview. If a scan fails, the error stays on-page instead of popping a dialog. Try again without losing your spot.

Scan from a team to reorder it, or from the Teams screen to spin up a brand-new team.
🎧
🎵

Your Imported Audio, Front and Center

Audio you email in now shows up right in My Studio. Tap any file to hear it, free. When you're ready to set one as a player's intro for game day, that's where Pro kicks in. No more waiting just to see your own files.

Email a clip to your import address, then find it waiting in My Studio.
✉️
👨‍👩‍👧

One Tap to Invite Players

Right after Lock-In on a shared team, we'll quietly offer to text the join code to players. One tap opens a prefilled share sheet so they can claim their kid in seconds. Skip it and we won't ask again on that team.

Players who join can pick their own kid's walk-up song. The whole team pitches in.
📳

Feel Every Moment

Tactile feedback now confirms the moments that matter. Tapping a player to play, finishing Lock-In, generating an intro, and the small "oops" of a quick error. Subtle, never noisy. Works alongside silent mode so the dugout never hears a thing.

Haptics fire on the plays that count, and stay quiet everywhere else.
v1.9.5

Always-in-Sync + invisible Lock-In

Game Day Just Knows You're Ready

No more manual Lock-In ritual. Your intros and walk-up songs now cache to your phone automatically as you edit, and Game Day shows a simple green Ready when your team will play instantly, even with no signal at the field. Old audio keeps playing while new edits quietly sync in the background, so there's never dead air at the plate.

Game Day → your team shows a green Ready seal once everything's cached. It works fully offline.
🔄
👥

Always In Sync. No More Guessing

Sharing a team with a co-coach or players? The sync indicator is quieter and more honest now: invisible when everyone's in sync, and when you make an edit with no signal it calmly says "Offline, will sync" and catches everyone up the moment you're back online. No taps, no guessing which side is newer. Album art even shows in the booth offline on a brand-new setup.

Game Day → the sync pill only appears while it's actually working, then fades when you're all set.
v1.9

Season Pass + one-tap sync

🎟️
📅

Season Pass. One Price For The Whole Season

New $19.99 Season Pass covers full Pro for ~6 months: unlimited teams, every announcer voice, custom AI sound effects, music mix, player sharing. No subscription, no auto-renew. Built for the coach who runs a season at a time.

Account → Upgrade to Pro. The Season Pass shows up under the subscription tiers as the new MOST POPULAR option.
🏷️

Better Prices For Season-Long Coaches

Plus a few naming + pricing cleanups: 1-Week Pass → Tournament Pass (same price), Pro Annual → Coach Year-Round (now $39.99/yr, was $44.99). Same Pro, cheaper for the multi-sport coach.

Existing annual subscribers auto-renew at the new lower price. Nothing to do.
🔄
👥

One-Tap Team Sync

Sharing a team with a co-coach or players? The sync button on Game Day now does the whole round-trip in one tap. It pushes your edits and pulls everyone else's, so you never have to guess which side is newer.

Game Day → tap the sync pill, or pull down to refresh. Both run the same full sync now.
🎵

A Way Bigger Youth & Family Mix

The Youth & Family music vibe just grew from 25 songs to over 150. Current pop, dance, throwbacks, line-dance staples, all clean and all-ages. Fresh enough to last a full season without sounding the same week after week.

Mix tab → Youth & Family. Pick it once and every game pulls a fresh shuffle.
v1.8

Reliability & polish

Smoother Game Day

The announcer carries cleanly over the crowd outdoors, album art loads fast on a weak signal, and if your sign-in times out you're prompted to pick up right where you left off.

🔒
📱

Lock Your Screen Orientation

Keep the screen from flipping mid-game. Turn on Lock Rotation and GameDay DJ stays put no matter how you hold your phone in the dugout.

Account → Lock Rotation.
v1.7

Song-snippet sound effects

🎵
🎛️

Drop the Song Everybody Knows

Your SFX board now ships with five famous hooks ready to fire. Walk It Out, Who Let the Dogs Out, Seven Nation Army, Whoomp! (There It Is), and Thunderstruck. Free for everyone, no setup.

SFX tab → song tiles sit near the top.
✂️
🎼

Make Your Own Hook

Pro coaches can snip any song into a sound effect: search the track, drag the markers to land on the drop or the chant, and save it to your board next to the bundled ones.

SFX tab → Add Custom → Song Snippet.
v1.6.1

Polish & reliability

Polish & Reliability

A cleaner lineup-scan screen (background fills edge to edge while scanning), plus steadier performance when a lot of coaches open the app at once. Small fixes for a smoother game day.

v1.6

Last call for the final batter

📣

Announce the Final Batter

For baseball and softball, GameDay DJ can now call the last batter of the inning, a stadium-style announcement that fires automatically right before their walk-up, or on demand with a tap.

Roster → team settings → Last Batter.
🎛️
😊

Better Custom Sound Effects

Make your own SFX with any emoji as the icon, edit ones you've already created, and when you change the description the preview now regenerates to match. No more replaying the old take.

Sounds → + → describe your sound.
v1.5

Never play a stale lineup

🔄
🔁

Never Play a Stale Lineup

Change a player or swap a walk-up song after you've Locked In? GameDay DJ slides up a re-lock prompt the moment something changes (on this device or from a co-coach's sync), so one tap re-stages everything. You're never caught playing yesterday's lineup mid-game.

Game Day → tap the lock icon any time to re-lock.
v1.4

Fresher mix, smarter Game Day, polish

🎵

Fresher Between-Innings Music

Today's Top and the genre stations now pull the songs actually charting right now, and the mix won't repeat a track for a long stretch, so a whole game stays fresh.

Mix tab → pick a vibe.
▶️
👥

Smarter Game Day

Open any team and the leadoff batter is already cued up. Running two teams back-to-back? Each one remembers exactly who's up next when you switch between them.

Game Day → tap a team.
⌨️

Smoother Editing & Fixes

Every text field has Clear and Done buttons above the keyboard, regenerating an intro no longer talks over Music Mix, and dozens of reliability fixes across the app.

Hit a snag? Account → Report a Bug or Request a Feature.
v1.3.1

Two new badges + toolbar polish

🔄
💾

Two New Badges to Earn

Sync Now lands the first time you force a shared team to sync on demand. Safe Keeping unlocks when you back up your whole team (rosters, photos, and recorded intros) to your Coach Account. Tap any badge tile to see how to earn it.

Account → Coaching Network → Achievements.
v1.3

Cloud, sync, badges, invites, Live Mic polish

☁️
💾

Cloud Backup, Now for Bigger Teams

Backup uploads now bypass the old size cap, so coaches with full rosters of player photos and player-recorded intros can save and restore everything in one shot. Pro feature.

Account → Coach Account → Force Sync, or Restore from Coach Account on a new device.
🏆
🎖️

Coaching Milestones

New tiered badges climb with you. Every lineup scanned, every Game Day run, every co-coach invited unlocks the next rung. Tap any badge tile to see exactly how to earn it.

Account → Coaching Network → Achievements.
🔁
👥

Co-Coaches Stay in Sync

Pick a walk-up song and your co-coaches see it within minutes. Game Day pulls fresh roster + song changes in the background, and a status indicator shows the last sync time.

Teams → tap a shared team → look for the sync chip. Pull down on Game Day to force a refresh.
🔗
👤

Invite Links That Land

When players or co-coaches tap your invite link, the landing page greets them by role and tells them the right next step. Links work for 7 days, reusable by anyone in the window.

Teams → share icon → choose Player or Coach. Works for up to 50 players / 10 coaches.
🎤
🔊

Live Mic Stands Out

The Live Mic card now glows red, a distinct, attention-getting affordance separate from bundled sound effects. Talk through the speaker, push-to-talk or lock on. Pro feature.

SFX tab → red-glowing card at the top.
v1.2

SoundBoard grid, referrals & achievements

🟦

SoundBoard Grid View

Switch your Game Day lineup to a tappable grid, jersey + face + album art on every tile. Perfect for soccer goals, basketball baskets, hockey power plays. List view stays for batting-order sports.

Game Day → tap the grid icon. Pick 2, 3, or 4 columns.
🔊

Bluetooth Speaker Keepalive

Some Bluetooth speakers go to sleep between innings and clip the first note. A silent keepalive (or brief wake pulse every 20 seconds for stubborn speakers) keeps every intro playing from the very first beat.

Account → Bluetooth Speaker. Try Off first; switch to Always On if your speaker chops audio.
🤝
🎁

Referral Bonus

Share GameDay DJ. When another coach upgrades to Pro you earn 30 free days (monthly) or 90 days (annual). Keeps your Pro going even if you pause.

Account → Coaching Network → Referral Bonus → Share.
🏆

Achievement Badges

Your personal trophy case. Unlock badges for firsts (first lineup, first AI voice, first Game Day, first Live Mic) and for milestones like inviting other coaches.

Account → Coaching Network → Achievements.
📊

Popular Picks + Smart Snippets

A Popular tab in song search shows the most-picked walk-ups for your sport. Inside the snippet editor, "Use Popular Snippet" auto-fills the exact start time other coaches landed on (50+ votes).

Song search → Popular chip. Snippet editor → Use Popular Snippet.
🎤
⚠️

Live Mic Safety Reminder

When you tap to go live on the PA mic, a quick confirmation reminds you to stand at least 6 feet from your speaker. The feedback loop is brutal if you don't.

SFX tab → Live Mic card → tap the orange mic button.
v1.1

Voice filters, calendar sync, per-game lineups

🎙️
🎚️

Your Voice, Transformed

Record a custom announcer intro and shape it with 13 effect filters. Deep Announcer, Giant, Villain, Chipmunk, Helium, Robot, Telephone, Old Radio, Megaphone and more. Same recording, completely different character.

My Studio → Filters to hear each effect on Adam's voice before recording.
📅
⬇️

Import from Your Calendar

Connect your league calendar and your game schedule syncs into the app. Opponent, time, and location already filled in. Home vs. away auto-detected from how the event is titled.

Games → Import from Calendar. "vs Opponent" = Home, "@ Opponent" = Away.
🔢
↕️

Per-Game Lineups

Tournament weekend? Set a different batting order for each game without touching the master roster. Drag players into place. Bench someone for the morning game, restore them for the afternoon.

Tap the availability dot on any player row to cycle Active → Bench → Absent.
🎧
🎵

Find the Perfect Hook

The snippet editor now plays the full walk-up experience. Music starts, fades for the announcement, voice fires, music comes back. Drag the markers to land on the drop. Vocal Boost or Music Boost lets you choose who leads.

Tap Tuning to fine-tune how far the music fades and how fast it ramps back up.
✍️
🔍

v1.0

Launch. What makes GameDay DJ different

🎙️
🌊

AI Stadium Announcers

Real broadcast-grade announcer voices (Bilbop, Rex Thunder, Shanni, Titan) calling each player's name out by name. Or design your own voice with a sentence. Nobody else in this space does this.

Type a description like "gravelly old-school stadium MC" and we generate the voice on demand.
📷
📋

Scan, Don't Type

Point your camera at any lineup card (printed, handwritten, GameChanger, iScore) and the roster imports in seconds. No more thumb-typing 14 kids on the bleachers.

🎵
🪄

Quick Vibe Mix

Tap a vibe (80s rock, country, hip-hop, hype) and we drop a curated walk-up onto every player in seconds. Tweak the ones you care about, leave the rest. First-game-ready in under a minute.

Tap any player after the mix to swap their song. Vibes are starting points, not handcuffs.
👥
✔️

Share Your Team. Coaches AND Players

Invite a co-coach so editing isn't on one person's shoulders, OR invite players so they pick their own kid's walk-up song. One link, two roles, you choose.

Roster → Coaches & Players → invite. Revoke anytime.
🔐

Zero-Latency Playback

Tap Lock In once and every intro fires the instant your finger lifts. No spinners, no buffering, no dead air between batters. The crowd reacts to the music, not to you waiting on it.

Lock In also makes the app work if the field has bad cell, but the headline is instant.
☁️
🛡️

Always Backed Up

Every team, roster, intro, and setting backs up the second you make a change. Switch phones or get a new iPad. Sign in with the same Apple ID, install GameDay DJ, and your setup follows you there.

New device? Same Apple ID + this app installed = your teams sync down automatically.
