Birdie Release Notes 3.1.7
We’re moving out of the "recording" phase and into the "improvement" phase. If Birdie V1 was your digital scorecard, Performance Lab V2 is your clinical intervention. We’ve centralized everything into The Lab because flipping between three different menus to find your 7-iron yardage was a workout you didn't sign up for.
Stop guessing. Start gapping.
Let’s be honest: most of you think your 7-iron goes 165 yards because you hit it that far once in 2022 with a 30mph tailwind. Back in reality, it’s probably a 148-yard club.
Today’s update (v3.1.7) is all about bringing you face-to-face with the Truth. We’ve overhauled the Bag experience, tightened up the in-round logging, and made the Training Center actually usable when you’re standing on the range sweating through your polo.
1) The Bag Refresh: No more "maybe"
We’ve re-sculpted the Bag Experience to be your new best friend (and your ego's worst enemy).
The Filter Flex: Toggle between
All Time,Last 80,Last 20, or your most recent5shots. It’s the easiest way to see if that new swing thought is actually working or if you’re just delusional.The Gapping Table: We’ve laid out your Shot Performance and Club Gapping in a flow that actually makes sense. If there’s a 30-yard hole between your 5-iron and 4-hybrid, you’ll see it before you fail to clear that lake again.
Quick Actions: We replaced the clunky forms with a "Quick Actions" block.
+ Record a Shot,Manage Bag, orImport Shots (CSV)—it’s all right there. No digging required.
2) In-Round Logging: Less tapping, more golfing
Logging shots while playing is usually a recipe for a slow-play lecture from the group behind you. We’ve streamlined the In-Round Shot Logging so you can get back to your triple-bogey faster.
Numeric Simplicity: We ditched the "H1/S1" labels for plain old numbers. It’s a hole, not a battleship coordinate.
Smart Defaults: New rows now inherit the hole value from the previous row. Because, shockingly, you usually play more than one shot per hole.
The Guardrails: We added validation. If you try to save a shot without a club selected, we’ll highlight the mistake and block the save. It’s like a caddie that actually pays attention.
3) Training Center UX: Range-ready
The Training Center used to be a bit of a mess on mobile. Not anymore.
Active vs. Queue: We added a dedicated mobile tab state so you can toggle between what you’re doing now and what’s coming up next.
Smart Jumps: When you jump segments or load a session, the app automatically snaps back to the Active panel. We also stopped the auto-running timers on jumps—you start the clock when you are ready to hit, not when the app says so.
Save Active: The "Save Active" button is now always visible. Because if you didn't log the practice session, did it even happen?
