9 releases

Premium now has an annual plan (plus a pricing update)

  • PremiumAdded an annual plan at ¥5,000 (tax included) — two months cheaper than paying monthly
  • PremiumThe monthly plan is now ¥500 (tax included). Existing subscribers keep their current price — nothing changes automatically

Premium now offers an annual plan at ¥5,000 (tax included). Compared with ¥6,000 for twelve months on the monthly plan, that's two months free. Alongside this, the monthly plan price has been updated from ¥250 to ¥500 (tax included). Premium has grown a lot this spring — AI Caddie, the monthly stats report PDF, scorecard photo import (OCR) and course strategy notes — and the new price reflects what Premium delivers today. If you already subscribe, your price does not change automatically.

  • Annual plan (¥5,000, tax included): You can now choose between monthly and annual billing on the upgrade page. The annual plan works out to about ¥417 per month — two months cheaper than twelve months of the monthly plan (¥6,000). You can cancel anytime, and Premium stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.

  • Monthly plan pricing update (¥250 → ¥500, tax included): The Premium monthly plan is now ¥500 (tax included). Over the past months Premium has gained AI Caddie weakness diagnosis and improvement roadmaps, a monthly stats report PDF, automatic scorecard photo import (OCR) and course strategy notes. This update aligns the price with what Premium delivers today. Existing subscribers keep their current price — nothing changes automatically.

Added the one-time "Score Deep Diagnosis"

  • NewAdded "Score Deep Diagnosis," a 16-page PDF report that names, in one sentence, what adds the most strokes to your score, built from every round you have recorded (one-time, ¥1,500)
  • NewYou can preview the real document and a full sample PDF before buying
  • ImprovedThe Premium stats report PDF now opens in a new tab so you can view it first, and only save it when you want to
  • ImprovedAdded GIR (greens in regulation) to the stats report PDF and a "Month YEAR edition" label on the cover, so you can save and line them up month by month

This update adds "Score Deep Diagnosis," a one-time purchase. It analyzes every round you have recorded and states, in a single sentence, what adds the most strokes to your score — a 16-page PDF report. It contains only aggregates the everyday screens never show, makes no predictions, and works purely from the facts in your records. We also polished the Premium stats report PDF.

  • Score Deep Diagnosis (one-time, ¥1,500): A 16-page PDF report that identifies, in one sentence, what adds the most strokes to your score, built from every round you have recorded. It brings together views the everyday screens never show: a ledger of where you lose and earn strokes, a hole-by-hole profile of where your rounds get heavy across holes 1 through 18, the difference between your best day and your worst, and what your good-scoring days had in common. It makes no score predictions and works purely from the facts in your records. Once you have recorded five or more full 18-hole rounds, you can buy it from the "Score Deep Diagnosis" page in the app. Your PDF stays available for re-download, and as your records grow you can take another checkup.

  • Preview the contents before buying: On the "Score Deep Diagnosis" page, you can preview the real document — generated from a fictional golfer's data — and a full 16-page sample PDF right there, so you can see exactly what you will receive before buying.

  • An easier-to-read stats report PDF: Instead of downloading straight away, the Premium stats report PDF now opens in a new tab so you can view it first, and you can save it only when you want to. We added a "Month YEAR edition" label on the cover, so you can save them month by month and look back on how your game has changed. GIR (greens in regulation) is now included among the metrics.

Made the Blog easier to read and polished the display

  • ImprovedRestructured Blog articles with level-by-level tiers, numbered key points, tables that make the numbers stand out, and step-by-step layouts for easier reading
  • ImprovedRefreshed the loading screen with a new logo-mark design
  • ImprovedThe Blog's table of contents now stays in view as you scroll, so you always know where you are
  • ImprovedAdded average-score guides alongside handicap figures in articles
  • FixedFixed an issue where dark mode could revert to the normal theme after reloading a page
  • FixedFixed several display issues on smartphones, such as clipped headings and overflowing numbers

This update focuses on making the Blog easier to read, along with small polish to the display. Key points, numbers, and steps within articles are easier to find, and the display on smartphones is more stable. The table of contents now follows along as you read, and handicap figures come with an average-score guide.

  • Easier-to-read Blog articles: We organized the tiers, steps, and key numbers within articles using dedicated layouts. Color-coded tier ladders, numbered key points, tables that make the numbers stand out, and step-by-step sequences make it easier to find what you are looking for. We also revised the in-article charts to use a focused, single-color style that highlights the key point.

  • Refreshed loading screen: The screen shown while a page is loading now uses a new design featuring the logo mark.

  • Table of contents that follows along: When reading an article on desktop, the table of contents on the left now stays in view as you scroll. Even in long articles, you can always see where you are and how the whole piece is structured.

  • Average-score guides next to handicap figures: Where an article mentions a handicap figure, we now add a guide for roughly what average score it corresponds to. Even if you do not know your own handicap, you can map the article's content to your own scoring level.

  • Fixed a dark mode issue: Fixed an issue where the display could revert from dark mode to the normal theme when a page was reloaded.

  • Fixed smartphone display issues: Fixed several display issues on smartphones, including clipped headings and overflowing numbers.

A full visual refresh of every screen after you log in

  • ImprovedWe've refreshed the design across every screen after you log in — home, each analysis, score entry, and settings
  • ImprovedThe home screen is now a dashboard, so you can see the day's key points at a glance
  • ImprovedWe reworked chart colors and layouts to make score trends and patterns easier to read
  • FixedCloud sync now shows its status, so you can tell when a sync fails
  • FixedFixed several display issues, including clipped headings on mobile

This release is a large update that refreshes the entire post-login experience with a new design. From the home screen to each analysis, score entry, and settings, we've made colors, type, and spacing consistent for a cleaner, easier-to-use app — same features, with a much more polished look and feel.

  • A refreshed design across every screen: We've unified the design across every screen after you log in — the home, each analysis page, score entry, settings, and more. A shared sidebar and header (a slide-out menu on phones) makes moving between screens clearer.

  • Home is now a dashboard: We rebuilt the home screen as a dashboard so you can see your recent rounds, insights, and next step all in one place.

  • Clearer charts: We reworked the colors and layout of charts like score trends and distributions so numbers and patterns are easier to read. We also tidied up how green types (bent/korai), weekday vs. weekend, and par-3 direction views are shown.

  • Cloud sync status: Cloud sync now shows its status, so you can tell when a sync to the cloud fails.

  • Display fixes: We fixed several display issues, including clipped headings and layout glitches on mobile.

Import a full round from shot-detail screenshots

  • NewYou can now import a whole round from your golf GPS watch app's "shot detail" screenshots
  • FixedFixed an issue where the screen would unexpectedly switch to English
  • FixedFixed an issue on iPhone Safari where tapping an input field left the screen zoomed in

You can now bring rounds recorded on your golf GPS watch app straight into the app from its per-hole shot-detail screenshots. We've also fixed a couple of issues with display language and mobile input.

  • Import from shot-detail screenshots: Just select your golf GPS watch app's per-hole "shot detail" screenshots — one per hole, up to 18 — and we read each shot's club and distance, the putt count, and the score, then register it as one round. You can review and edit the results on the spot, pick the course and date, and save. It's available as a separate option under "Photo Import," alongside scorecard photos.

  • Display language fix: we fixed an issue where the screen could unexpectedly switch to English even while you were using the app in Japanese.

  • Mobile input improvement: on iPhone Safari, tapping a score or other input field could zoom the screen in and leave it that way; this is now fixed.

A revamped signed-in experience, with much richer AI comments and score entry

  • ImprovedReorganized the signed-in layout and navigation, and rebuilt the home screen
  • NewEach analysis page and "Today's Discovery" now shows insights and advice drawn from your own data
  • NewYou can now choose the voice of the AI comments (Caddie or Coach)
  • ImprovedScore entry is stronger — a "same as last time" one-tap, detailed inputs, a mid-round quit confirmation, and a free trial for photo import
  • NewYou can now analyze how club (equipment) changes relate to your scores

This is a large update focused on the signed-in experience. From a cleaner layout to richer AI comments and stronger score entry, we revisited a wide range of areas.

  • A cleaner signed-in layout and a rebuilt home: we tidied up the navigation so it's easier to find your way, and rebuilt the home screen. Score entry is now in one place, and a "resume round" banner appears so you can pick up where you left off even if you step away mid-round. We also unified feature names — for example "AI Caddie" and "Front/Back Analysis."

  • Automatic insights and advice: each analysis page and "Today's Discovery" now automatically surfaces insights, tendencies, and improvement hints read from your scores and data.

  • Choose the voice of AI comments: you can now choose the tone of AI comments — a warm Caddie or a concise, sharp Coach — and switch between them in settings.

  • Stronger score entry: we added a "same as last time" one-tap to course selection and support for optional detailed inputs like putts and approach shots. A confirmation when you quit mid-round helps prevent accidental mis-records. And scorecard photo import can now be tried up to 3 times for free.

  • Equipment data analysis: you can now see how changes to your club setting relate to your scores before and after.

  • Benchmark, analysis improvements, and fixes: we added a "next level" guide for each skill band and an all-time view in Season Analysis. We also fixed several issues, including one where some analyses showed time-series data in reverse order.

A fresh new look across the site, plus a revamped Articles section

  • ImprovedRefreshed the design across the whole site, starting with the home page
  • ImprovedFully revamped Articles — search, popular sort, and a more readable article page help you find what you need faster
  • ImprovedArticles now load faster
  • NewAdded password reset so you can get back in if you forget your password

This update is a big visual refresh. From the home page to each feature page and the Articles section, we've redesigned the whole site — and added password reset along the way.

  • A refreshed design across the site: we redesigned the main pages — home, analysis features, Premium, and how-to. Information is better organized and easier to read and use on both phone and desktop.

  • A revamped Articles section: we added search and a popular sort to the article list so it's easier to find what you're after. Each article now has a new layout with a table of contents, a reading-progress indicator, and clear visuals — making longer reads easier to follow. Articles also load faster.

  • Password reset: if you forget your password, you can now reset it by email right from the login screen.

  • Other refinements: we unified the header and footer, improved text rendering, and refreshed the login, contact, terms, and privacy pages with the new design.

Smarter AI coaching and a more stable experience

  • ImprovedMore accurate and encouraging advice from your AI coach
  • FixedFixed an issue where club settings could be lost or corrupted
  • FixedFixed a dashboard freeze when moving between pages

This update gives your AI coach a major refresh and clears up a few issues for a smoother, more reliable experience.

  • Smarter, more encouraging AI coaching: we overhauled your AI coach's advice. It now draws more on your past rounds and scoring trends to give clearer, more accurate, and more encouraging guidance — with wording that supports your goals rather than talking them down.

  • Fixed club settings: we fixed an issue where your club settings could fail to save or display correctly. The clubs and distances you enter now stick more reliably.

  • A more stable experience: we fixed an issue where the dashboard could freeze after a certain sequence of moving between pages. Now it loads smoothly no matter where you navigate from.

Tee filter, club settings, course-type analysis, and in-app notifications shipped

  • NewFilter your stats by tee — Back, Regular, Forward, or Ladies
  • NewNew club-setting management — track head and shaft separately, pick from a grid, and edit on the fly mid-round via a bottom sheet
  • NewCourse-type breakdown analysis (parkland / hill / riverside / seaside / highland / mountain) shows how your scoring varies by terrain
  • NewTee-shot direction (left / right / centre / short / long) is now recorded on par-3 holes too
  • NewA bell icon on the dashboard now surfaces in-app notifications and links to this changelog
  • NewAdded a What's new page (this one) so you can see every shipped change at a glance
  • ImprovedCourse-specific tee names (BLUE / PRINCE / Black, etc.) now appear as-is on the edit screen and map to one of the four canonical tees behind the scenes
  • ImprovedSet up a dedicated staging environment so we can ship updates more safely

A big batch of shipped work, all in one drop. The tee filter and course-type analysis are especially useful for looking at your scores from a new angle.

  • About the tee filter: we've back-filled each existing round with the "regular-equivalent" tee for the course you played. If you actually played a different tee (e.g. the back tee), open the round list → edit screen and adjust the tee field.

  • Club settings: once registered, your clubs show up as quick-pick options during score entry. Need to swap clubs mid-round? Adjust via the bottom sheet without leaving the page.

  • Course-type analysis: see at a glance which terrain dominates your round history and how the type changes your scoring averages.

  • Small UI polish or a new chart — anything worth knowing about — will be logged on this page.
