More Control Over Your Smart Laser

Android 7.25.9

More control over your Smart Laser, an easier way to reach us, and a smoother round.

  • Smart Laser plays-like settings: Choose which conditions your Smart Laser factors into its plays-like distance, right from App Preferences. Changes reach your laser as you make them.
  • Today's conditions on your laser: Your Smart Laser now gets the current conditions, and a new round no longer starts with the last round's weather.
  • Easier laser updates: Smart Laser updates no longer ask you to turn the laser on first, show when it's connected, and come back around after a few days if you skip one.
  • Delete retired clubs: Permanently remove a retired club from Manage Clubs.
  • Email or call us: Contact Arccos Support now lets you email or call, and emails open right in your mail app.
  • Quicker Bluetooth setup: The permission screen names your device, and the app finds your paired device again as soon as Bluetooth is allowed.
  • Fixes: The Round In Play notification opens the round you're playing, Move Shots is easier to read in dark mode, and removing a favorite course now works every time.
  • Stability: Smoother performance during rounds and on the caddie screen, plus a fix for a crash when opening your Shots List.

Round Replay is now open to every member, your putting stats show what's behind your three-putts, and Apple Watch keeps you on the right hole.

New

  • Round Replay for everyone: Tap Watch Round Replay on any finished round to relive it shot by shot. Each hole plays out on the satellite map with shot tracers and the club and lie for every shot, while your score, fairways, greens and Strokes Gained add up as you go. Pause, scrub or speed it up anytime.
  • What's behind your three-putts: Your putting card now shows what's causing three-putts, based on how far your first putt leaves you.

New
