Release notes DartCounter v8.8.0
Interactive Dartboard Scoring - NEW
Scoring just got more fun. Drag and drop your darts right onto a digital board to record your throw. Each shot also feeds into a heatmap for the match, so you'll see exactly where your darts are landing at the end of the game!
Clear connection status - NEW
If you or your opponent loses connection, the match now shows a clear in-game indicator. Both sides see what's happening in real time, so there's no more guessing.
Favourite Doubles: Bull & Double 10 - NEW
Some players take pride in a bull checkout. By popular demand, you can now set bull and double 10 as your favourite doubles.
Undo for Local Omni Games - NEW
Playing local with the omni? You can now roll back your last turn. One dodgy call won't rob you of the leg anymore.

After calibrating your Omni, you can now view additional calibration details. This gives you a clearer picture of whether your setup is spot on, so you can throw with confidence!

Fixes & Tweaks
Gameplay quirks, sorted
- Around the Clock had a habit of skipping numbers... not anymore. Now it gives every target its moment in the spotlight.
- Auto submit went missing in Checkout121 when you finished in 1 or 2 darts. It's back on the board now.
- Straight-out means straight-out. No more screen prompts asking for a double to win.
- When editing your single dart score you can now enter a value that would bust you.
- Your last score now shows in the in-game stats of Score Training.
- Your darts on a double can't go higher than your darts for the checkout anymore.
- Around the Clock let you bump up by segment even when you had more than one hit to land. That's no longer the case... it keeps things proper now.
- Rematch now plays ball, when you ask for one, it properly kicks off a new match instead of leaving you hanging.
- Our Master Caller found his voice again! He'll now always announce the “you require” score, loud and clear, just as it should be.
Subscription & Accounts
- New profiles now start with privacy set to Friends Only instead of Public, keeping your games in the family by default.
UI & Interface
- Match result sharing in portrait was out of action. We've fixed it, so your scores show properly again.
- Extra categories have been added in the report function, so your feedback lands clearer.
- Player setup now sticks when you switch game modes, so you don't have to add your mates again.
- Setting up a local match just got quicker. You can pick a bunch of mates at once instead of adding them one by one.
- Selecting a photo from iCloud on iOS now works as expected. No more dead ends when choosing your favourite profile pic.
