Over the past six months, I’ve been working on the big sister of my referee Watch app. Today, October 3rd, Version 3 is finally available for the iPhone in the App Store. Here are the new features:
Fitness Tracking: With the Watch app, you can now also record fitness data during a game. Distance, speed, heart rate, performance, and calorie consumption are tracked for every minute of the game and visually presented in the iPhone app. For all performance data, there’s a trend analysis that compares your data with the average of the last ten recorded games.
Motion Analysis: You can now also track your running routes during halftime. For goals and disciplinary actions, the location is recorded when entered. Sprints are saved separately with details about length, duration, and speed. The data is plotted on an interactive map using Apple Maps. When you tap on a marker for a goal scorer, a yellow circle with a 20-meter radius appears around the player. This helps referees assess their positioning during goal situations.
Weather Data: Weather conditions are logged for each game.
Dashboard: The dashboard collects a wealth of information about all aspects of football games. Examples include the total distance covered in all games, the game with the highest speed achieved, or the lowest recorded temperature. Of course, you’ll also find all information on issued cards, goals, and extra time.
Match Report: The match report feed, which was well-received on the Watch app, has been incorporated into the iPhone app, allowing you to scroll through all game events in a clear and organized way.
Game Rating: A new feature in the Watch app allows you to rate your experience as a referee using three emojis: 😀😐☹️. This rating is also integrated into the dashboard, giving you an overview of how many games were rated positively, neutrally, or negatively.
Settings via iPhone: You can now create games on the iPhone and transfer them to the Apple Watch. This feature has been requested by many referees, and I sincerely hope it meets your expectations.
Attached are some screenshots. I hope you give the app a try.
