Games can be preconfigured and performance data evaluated via the iPhone. Smartwatches other than the Apple Watch are not supported. Version 4.0.8 requires iOS 26.1 or later on iPhone. The Apple Watch app once again supports watchOS 10 or later. Apple Watch runs watchOS, not iOS. In general, newer Apple Watch models offer improved battery performance. This can be especially beneficial when recording multiple matches in a single day, as continuous fitness and location tracking can increase power consumption. For the best experience, using a newer Apple Watch model is recommended, particularly if you plan to use the app extensively over longer periods. # Which iOS and watchOS versions are supported by version 4.0.8? [iPhone, Watch] Only app version 4.0.7 requires watchOS 26 on Apple Watch. Version 4.0.8 is available in the App Store and lowers the Watch app deployment target back to watchOS 10. From version 4.0.8, the Watch app can therefore be installed and used on compatible Apple Watches running watchOS 10 or later. The iPhone app continues to require iOS 26.1, so an iPhone running iOS 18 or earlier cannot install or update to version 4.0.8. If a compatibility warning appears because the Watch runs watchOS 10 or another watchOS version below 26, update the app on both iPhone and Apple Watch to version 4.0.8 or later. This update removes the watchOS 26 requirement that applied only to version 4.0.7. # Subscription and lifetime licence prices [iPhone, Watch, Pro] Pro is offered as a monthly subscription, an annual subscription and a one-time lifetime licence. Prices vary by App Store country, currency and Apple price tier. The Help Chat must therefore quote only the current prices supplied by the App Store for the transmitted country code. If those price data are unavailable, open the purchase screen in the app or its App Store product page to see the binding price for your storefront. Any free trial, its duration and the terms that follow are shown by the App Store before you confirm a purchase. Discounts, including a Referee Academy offer, apply only when they are displayed in the relevant purchase flow and confirmed by the App Store. A lifetime licence is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Use “Restore Purchases” to check purchases made with the same Apple Account. Manage or cancel subscriptions in the Apple Account subscription settings. # How to Measure IFAB 5, 8 and 10 Seconds Time Limits with the Apple Watch Ultra Action Button [Apple Watch Ultra, Pro, Fitness-Tracking] On Apple Watch Ultra, the Action Button can be used to start a countdown timer for the current IFAB time limits. Supported are the 5-second rule for goal kicks and throw-ins, the 8-second rule for goalkeepers, and the 10-second rule for substitutions. This feature requires Fitness-Tracking to be enabled in the settings. It is available exclusively on Apple Watch Ultra and is not supported on other Apple Watch models. # Voice Notes for Cards and Sin Bins [Watch, Pro, fixed lineup] After selecting a player, tap the [sf:waveform.badge.plus] button on the confirmation screen to record a voice note of up to 10 seconds. Recording starts immediately and a countdown shows the remaining time. Tap the [sf:stop.circle.fill] button at any time to stop and save the recording. The [sf:waveform.badge.checkmark] button allows you to play back, delete, or re-record the voice note. Saved recordings can be played from the match report on both Apple Watch and iPhone using the [sf:play.circle] button. Note: Voice notes are only available for matches using fixed team lineups. # Save Match Data to My Strava Account [iPhone, Pro] To upload match data to Strava, the Pro version must be unlocked and at least Fitness Tracking must be enabled. To include route data in Strava as well, Location Tracking must also be turned on. In the [sf:gear] settings, the Strava upload can be activated with the toggle switch once “Fitness Data” is enabled. When activated for the first time, a window opens prompting you to authorize your Strava account for uploads. Once authorization is complete, the window closes and a message appears confirming that the service is connected. When you complete your next match with fitness and movement data, it will usually be uploaded to Strava automatically, and you’ll receive a notification once the upload is finished. If this doesn’t happen, you can also trigger the upload manually. To do so, open the [sf:sportscourt] match overview and swipe the match you want to upload to the right. Then tap the [sf:network] “Strava” button that appears once. The upload will start. You can revoke the Strava connection at any time in your Strava account settings. # Can Match Events Such as Goals, Substitutions, Cards and Sin Bins Be Edited, Deleted or Added After the Match? [iPhone] Yes. This is possible on the iPhone. To edit or delete a match event, navigate to the match report screen. ## Delete a Match Event After the Match Swipe the match event you want to delete to the left until the [sf:trash] icon appears. Tap it and confirm the deletion in the dialog. ## Edit a Match Event After the Match Swipe the match event you want to edit to the right until the [sf:pencil] icon appears. Tapping it opens the edit screen. There, you can change the player's number and the associated team by tapping the [sf:tshirt] icon. For substitutions, the team cannot be changed. Each player must first be selected by tapping on them before their number can be edited. In addition, for multiple substitutions, player pairs can be removed using [sf:x.circle.fill] or added using [sf:plus.circle.fill]. ## Add a Match Event After the Match Open the [sf:ellipsis] menu in the match report on your iPhone and tap [sf:plus.circle.fill] "Add Event". Under "Event Type", choose whether you want to add a goal, card, substitution or sin bin. Each event type provides additional context-specific options. Under "Minute", use the slider to select the match minute. When selecting the final regular minute of a match period (half), an [sf:plus] icon appears, allowing you to optionally enter stoppage time. To change the team, tap the [sf:tshirt] icon. For substitutions, the team is selected under "Event Type". Special case: For substitutions, tapping the [sf:tshirt] icon selects a player for editing. In addition, for multiple substitutions, player pairs can be removed using [sf:x.circle.fill] or added using [sf:plus.circle.fill]. For example, to add a red card that was shown after full time, select “Card”, choose red as the card colour, select the team and player number or a team official (C, A1, A2 or A3), enter the reason and match minute including any stoppage time, and confirm the entry. The event then appears in the match report. # How does the app stay in the foreground on Apple Watch? [Watch] To keep the app open in the foreground, you can set your Apple Watch so that the app remains active for up to one hour before returning to the watch face. On your Apple Watch, open Settings > General > Return to Clock. There you can select "After 1 Hour" for all apps. Alternatively, set it only for this app: Return to Clock > "What’s the Score, Bro?“ > Custom > "After 1 Hour". If Fitness Tracking is enabled, the app automatically stays in the foreground. # Edit titles of saved matches [iPhone] On your iPhone, you can change the titles of saved matches. In [sf:sportscourt] Matches, swipe right on a match and tap [sf:pencil] "Edit". You can also change the title directly in the match report. Just tap the [sf:square.and.pencil] button next to the title. # Can the app be used on Apple Watch without a direct connection to the iPhone? [Watch, iPhone] Yes, that’s possible. The app can be used on the Apple Watch even without a direct connection to the iPhone. # Set the kicking-off team: green marker and ball possession [Watch] Before the match begins, you can set which team will kick off. Quickly double-tap that team’s score field. A green inner outline in the score field confirms the selection. You can change the selection before kick-off. If you selected a kicking-off team before the first half, the green marker automatically switches to the other team’s score field when a period ends. During the break, this shows which team starts the next period. The marker shows only which team takes the kick-off at the start of the period; it does not track possession while play is in progress. Before extra time or a penalty shoot-out, you can again select the kicking-off team or the team with the first penalty taker. # How the timers work [Watch] The app measures time for a variety of parameters. As a rule, a countdown timer is used to show the remaining playing time down to the second. An exception is “Open game without time limit,” which can be activated in the settings. There, the playing time is shown continuously. This mode is particularly suitable for training games, but also other sports such as roundnet or table football/foosball. When a countdown timer reaches a remaining time of 0:00 seconds and the end of the official playing time, your Watch vibrates and the timer automatically switches to a continuous timer, which now shows the elapsed stoppage time. In addition, the display turns red. If the timer is tapped once during the match, the recording of an interruption begins. The display blinks and the word “BREAK” appears in red above the timer. The Apple Watch vibrates continuously at 5‑second intervals to remind you that pause mode is active. When play resumes, tap the timer again. The elapsed time during the interruption is automatically added to the recommended stoppage time. If there is a longer suspension that was started via a [sf:hand.raised] action menu, the timer is paused. “SUSPENDED” then appears in red above the timer, and an additional continuously running timer shows in yellow the elapsed time due to the suspension. If the timer is tapped in this mode, you land on the suspension screen, where you can resume the match. Immediately afterwards, the regular timer runs again. If you have activated temporary dismissals, each player with a time penalty also receives a to‑the‑second timer. On the main screen, an active time penalty is represented by a circular timer that appears in place of the [sf:magazine] symbol. If multiple time penalties are active at the same time, the time penalty with the least remaining time is always shown. If you tap this timer, you go directly to the detailed, to‑the‑second overview of all temporary dismissals. When a time penalty expires, the display turns green and your Watch vibrates. You can then use the sin-bin overview to bring the player back onto the field. # How do I set up a new match and start the first or second half? [iPhone, Watch] A new match is conducted on Apple Watch. You can prepare the match settings on iPhone beforehand and send them to the Watch. You do not need to create a match manually with a date or title: the match report is created automatically on the Watch when you start the timer and is transferred to the iPhone after you save it. 1. On iPhone, open [sf:gearshape] Settings and choose the required match settings, such as the number and duration of halves or periods, the half-time alarm, team colours and, if needed, Professional Mode, fixed line-ups, temporary dismissals or a knockout match. Alternatively, you can configure these settings directly under [sf:gearshape] on the Watch. 2. If you prepared the settings on iPhone, tap “Update settings on Watch” at the bottom. If the transfer fails, open both apps—first the Watch app and then the iPhone app—and send the settings again. 3. When using fixed line-ups, check the squad on the Watch via [sf:person.crop.rectangle.stack]. At least one player from each team must be marked as on the pitch; otherwise the match will not start and the Watch shows “CHECK ROSTERS!”. 4. Set the kicking-off team by quickly double-tapping its score display. A green border confirms your selection. 5. Tap the large timer area in the centre. Before the match, it shows the selected format, for example “2x45'”, and “TAP TIMER TO START / PAUSE / END”. This starts the first half. When regular time and any intended stoppage time have been reached, tap the timer. In the action panel, tap the red [sf:stop.fill] button to finish the half or, after the final period, the match. The [sf:pause.fill] button starts a match interruption instead. At half-time, the green border automatically marks the team that kicks off next. The central timer area now shows, for example, “2nd Half” with “CONTINUE” underneath. Tap this area to start the second half. Before extra time or a penalty shoot-out, you can set the kicking-off team or the team taking the first penalty again by double-tapping its score display. # Markers around the score display [Watch, Pro] If, after kick‑off, there is a caution or a send‑off, an indicator appears at the lower outer edge of the score display of the respective team. A yellow card is shown as a yellow dot. Yellow‑red and red are shown as a red dot accordingly. When a substitution occurs, the total number of newly substituted‑on players is shown at the upper outer edge of the respective score display. This way you always know whether a team has already used up its quota. If you play with return substitutions, these are not counted toward the total number of substitutions. # The buttons on the main screen [Watch] ## Top right At the top right of the main screen you’ll find the [sf:tray.full.fill] menu. There you can manage your subscription and view match reports from past matches, or delete them or transfer them to the iPhone. As soon as a match begins, the [sf:pencil.and.list.clipboard] symbol for the match report appears in this position. All events are recorded automatically and continuously in the match report. Here—if you are playing with fixed teams—you can correct or delete individual player events such as goals, substitutions, cards, or time penalties. You can also reset a timer started by mistake or cancel the entire match recording. If a penalty shoot‑out occurs, once it begins the [sf:xmark.shield] symbol is displayed here. You can use it to record missed penalties. ## Top left Before the match begins, you’ll find the [sf:gearshape] settings here. After the match has started, the display switches to the [sf:magazine] notebook, where you can navigate horizontally with swipe gestures through the health data, the match notes, and the overview of active time penalties. In the match notes, both cards and time penalties as well as substitutions for all players are recorded. This way, you always keep an overview. When a temporary dismissal is active, the view switches to a circular timer that shows the remaining penalty time. If you tap this, you go directly to the overview of all time penalties, but you can still navigate horizontally to the match notes and health data with swipe gestures. If a penalty shoot‑out occurs, once it begins the [sf:xmark.shield] symbol is displayed here. You can use it to record missed penalties. ## Bottom left and bottom right If you use only the free version of the app, the bottom buttons show a [sf:lock] and have no function. If you have merely deactivated Pro mode, this is shown with [sf:hand.raised.slash]. The buttons are then also inactive. If Pro mode is activated and you are playing without fixed line‑ups, a [sf:lock.badge.clock] symbol without function is shown before the match begins. After the match starts, you see the [sf:hand.raised] symbol, which opens the action menu for the respective team. There you can make substitutions, issue cards and time penalties, as well as interrupt the match or officially abandon it. If Pro mode is activated and you are playing with a fixed line‑up, the [sf:person.crop.rectangle.stack] symbol is shown before the match begins. This opens the line‑up menu where you can add players. After the match starts, you see the [sf:hand.raised] symbol, which opens the action menu for the respective team. There you can make substitutions, issue cards and time penalties, as well as interrupt the match or officially abandon it. # The views in Notes [Watch, Pro] After the match starts, the display switches at the top left to the [sf:magazine] notebook, where you can navigate horizontally with swipe gestures through the health data, the match notes, and the overview of active time penalties. The health data are updated every 30 seconds and provide information about average values and peak values. In the match notes, both cards and time penalties as well as substitutions for all players are recorded. This way you always keep an overview. When a temporary dismissal is active, the view switches to a circular timer that shows the remaining penalty time. If you tap this, you go directly to the overview of all time penalties, but you can still navigate horizontally to the match notes and the health data with swipe gestures. # The match report [Watch, iPhone] As soon as a match begins, the [sf:pencil.and.list.clipboard] symbol for the match report appears at the top right of the main screen. The match report automatically records all events continuously: goals, substitutions, cards, temporary dismissals, halves, and interruptions. Here—if you are playing with fixed line‑ups—you can correct or delete individual match events such as goals, substitutions, cards, or temporary dismissals. To delete an event, swipe left until the [sf:trash] button appears. Tap it and the event is deleted immediately. If you swipe right, the [sf:pencil] button appears. When you tap it, the edit view opens, where you can change the player or multiple players (in a multi‑substitution). Once you confirm the change, both the match report and the match notes are updated. In the match report, you can also reset a timer started by mistake or cancel the entire match recording. To do this, tap the [sf:clock.badge.xmark] at the bottom right of the match report. This opens the choice of whether you only want to reset the timer to the last pause or cancel the entire match recording. The choice requires confirmation for safety. # When is a match transferred from Apple Watch to iPhone? [Watch, iPhone] The match report is not continuously transferred live to iPhone while a match is in progress. When you end and save the match on Apple Watch, the complete match report is saved on the Watch first. Immediately afterwards, the Watch app automatically starts transferring it to the paired iPhone. The transfer runs in the background over the connection between Apple Watch and iPhone. The match therefore appears on iPhone once the transfer has been completed and processed there, which may happen after a short delay. The match must first have been saved successfully on the Watch. If a saved match still does not appear on iPhone after some time, open the app on both devices and make sure Apple Watch and iPhone are paired and can reach each other. Then, on the Watch, open the saved match reports via [sf:tray.full.fill] > “Saved Games” and tap “Send to iPhone” at the end of the list. This starts another transfer of all match reports stored on the Watch. # The menu: subscription management and saved matches [Watch] Before the match begins, the [sf:tray.full.fill] menu is located at the top right of the main screen. There you can manage your subscription and view match reports from past matches, or delete them or transfer them to the iPhone. If you already use the Pro version, you can check the status of your subscription via the Pro button. If you don’t use Pro yet, you can take out a subscription with a four‑week free trial directly. Cancellation is possible at any time during this period and does not incur any costs. The “Saved Games” button takes you to the overview of saved match reports. These can be opened and viewed individually on the Watch. With a swipe gesture to the right you can delete individual match reports. If there is at least one match report in the overview, there is also a “Send to iPhone” button at the end of the list, which starts another background transfer of all saved match reports to the paired iPhone. You will also find the version number of the installed app in the menu. If you are unsure whether you have the latest version, you can check here. # Subscription and free trial [Watch, iPhone, Pro] On the Apple Watch you can access the status view of your subscription via [sf:tray.full.fill] > Pro. If you are not yet using the Pro version, you can take out a subscription with a four‑week free trial directly. Cancellation is possible at any time during this period and does not incur any costs. On the iPhone you can reach the view via Dashboard > “Subscription” tile or in Settings via the [sf:cart.fill] icon in the top navigation. The Pro version gives you access to numerous functions and features that will sustainably change the way you referee. Record all match events in seconds, correct mis‑attributed players when needed, keep an eye on the match time, required stoppage time, and any number of time penalties, and after the final whistle analyze your positioning and extensive performance metrics with AI support. # Display of minute of play and recommended stoppage time [Watch] While the large timer counts down the remaining playing time, the elapsed match time counts upward as a grey time display at the bottom of the screen. This is the current match time, and there is no symbol in front of it. When you record a goal, card, substitution or another match event in the app, the app automatically saves the current minute of play. You therefore do not need to calculate the minute from the countdown or enter it manually. The time accumulated through short interruptions such as goal celebrations or injury breaks appears separately in yellow to the right of the large timer and serves as a recommendation for stoppage time. On smaller Apple Watch models it is displayed in rounded-up minutes; on larger models it is shown in minutes and seconds. Once regular time has expired, the large timer counts the actual stoppage time upward. It is red at first and turns green when the recommended stoppage time has been reached; your Watch then vibrates again. If you tap the timer on the main screen, you activate pause mode, for example during goal celebrations or injury breaks. The timer blinks and the word “BREAK” appears in red above it. Your Apple Watch reminds you every 5 seconds with a vibration that the app is in this mode. If you tap the timer again, pause mode ends. The duration of the pause is added to the recommended stoppage time. The accumulated time is rounded up and displayed in minutes as the recommended stoppage time. # Break‑time timer and half‑time alarm [Watch] If you end a half and the match is not over, a yellow continuously running break‑time timer is displayed in place of the minute of play and the recommended stoppage time. This way you always know how long it has been since the whistle and can bring the players back onto the field on time. You can also activate a half‑time alarm in the [sf:gearshape] settings. You can set any time between 1 and 15 minutes for this. When the break‑time timer reaches the set time, a vibration alarm is triggered and you know it’s time to continue. # Set yellow and red cards [Watch, iPhone, Pro] In the [sf:gearshape] settings you can set which cards you want to use in a match. The default is the 13 official cards named by IFAB in the [Laws Of The Game](https://www.theifab.com/de/). Many football associations handle the use of cards differently. If you want to referee with fewer than 13 cards, on the iPhone go to Settings > Pro Features > Card selection > Go to selection. On the Apple Watch: Settings > Pro mode > Card selection. In the selection menu you can enable or disable each card with the slider. Only enabled cards are shown to you in the match as options in the [sf:hand.raised] action menu. # How do I create my own yellow or red card reason? [iPhone, Watch, Pro] On iPhone, go to [sf:gearshape] Settings > Pro Features > Card selection > Go to selection and tap [sf:plus] at the top. Under “Own Card”, enter your reason, select “Yellow Card” or “Red Card” and tap “Add”. Empty text and a reason that already exists are not accepted. The custom card is placed at the top of the corresponding list and is always active. On iPhone, tap [sf:trash] beside a custom card and confirm to delete it. Then send the configuration with “Update settings on Watch”. Custom cards transferred to Apple Watch also appear at the top and are always active without a switch. You can swipe a custom card to the left on Watch and delete it locally. To remove it permanently from both devices, delete it on iPhone and transfer the settings again; a card deleted only on Watch can reappear the next time iPhone settings are transferred. # View of yellow and red cards in the action menu [Watch, Pro] Open the [sf:hand.raised] action menu in a running match with Pro mode and fixed halves. The cards are displayed below the “Substitution” button. If you have 5 or fewer cards enabled, all cards are listed individually and you can scroll to the correct card. If you have more than 5 cards enabled, they are grouped into “Yellow cards” and “Red cards” to give you a better overview. # Deleting incorrect entries: goals, substitutions, cards, and time penalties [Watch, Pro] If you accidentally recorded one goal too many in the free basic version, you can undo it with a long press on the respective score display. Haptic feedback tells you when the deletion has been executed. In the Pro version, you can delete match events if you are playing with fixed line‑ups. To do this, open the [sf:pencil.and.list.clipboard] match report on the main screen. Scroll to the match event—goal, substitution, card, or time penalty—that you want to delete. Swipe left once until you see the [sf:trash] button. If you tap it, the event is deleted immediately without further confirmation. # Correcting incorrect entries: goals, substitutions, cards, and time penalties [Watch, Pro] In the Pro version, you can correct match events if you are playing with fixed line‑ups. To do this, open the [sf:pencil.and.list.clipboard] match report on the main screen. Scroll to the match event—goal, substitution, card, or time penalty—that you want to correct. Swipe right once until you see the [sf:pencil] button. If you tap it, the edit view for match events opens. For goals, cards, and time penalties, the currently selected player is marked with a red [sf:x.circle]. That player cannot be selected again. For goals and time penalties, only players currently on the field are shown. For cards, you can also select players on the bench, as well as the coach and assistants. Tap a player and you will be asked whether this player should be selected for the goal or the disciplinary measure. If you confirm, both the match report and the match notes are corrected in the background and the display returns directly to the main screen. For substitutions, the same view opens after tapping the [sf:pencil] button. However, the players currently assigned to the match event who were subbed on and off are marked. To deselect a player from the selection, press on their jersey for 2 seconds until you get haptic feedback. To add more players, tap them. In order for the “Confirm” button to appear, the number of players subbed off and on must be identical. If you confirm, both the match report and the match notes are corrected in the background and the display returns directly to the main screen. # Interrupting or abandoning a match [Watch, Pro] To interrupt or abandon a match, go to “Suspend or abandon match” at the end of the list in the [sf:hand.raised] action menu. You arrive at the “Suspend match” view. To reach “Abandon match,” you must scroll down once with the crown or your finger. I set it up this way so you don’t accidentally abandon the match in a heated situation. If you tap “Suspend match,” a continuously running timer shows how long the match has already been interrupted. With the “End suspension” button below, you can resume the match. Each suspension is recorded separately in the match report with a timestamp and duration. When you suspend a match, the match timer on the main screen is paused. “SUSPENDED” then appears in red above the timer, and an additional continuously running timer shows in yellow the elapsed time due to the interruption. If the timer is tapped in this mode, you land on the interruption screen, where you can resume the match. Immediately afterwards, the regular match timer runs again. If you tap “Abandon match,” you immediately receive the message: “Match abandoned, match report created.” The match is ended and saved immediately; the rating is automatically “poor” (abandoned matches are never fun). You can then open the match report via the [sf:tray.full.fill] menu. # Making substitutions [Watch, Pro] To record a substitution, tap the first button “Substitution” in the [sf:hand.raised] action menu. ## Without fixed teams If you are playing without a fixed line‑up, a number pad opens on which you first enter, comma‑separated, the numbers of all players leaving the field. When you confirm the selection with the colored button at the bottom right, a further number pad opens on which you enter, comma‑separated, the shirt numbers of the players who are coming on. When you confirm your entry, the app checks whether the number of players subbed on and off matches. If it matches, the substitution is entered in the match report and the match notes. If the number does not match, an error message appears and you must change your selection. In general, the use of fixed teams is recommended. ## With fixed teams If you are playing with fixed teams, a selection view of all outfield players and substitutes opens. Outfield players are marked with a colored [sf:tshirt.fill], substitutes with a colored outlined [sf:tshirt]. Players who have been sent off are not shown. Players with an active time penalty are shown but cannot be selected to be subbed on. If you play without return substitutions, players who have already been subbed off are marked with a [sf:lock.circle] symbol and can no longer be selected to be subbed on. Multiple substitutions are possible. Tap as many players as you want to sub on and off. If you tap the wrong player, you can deselect them by pressing their jersey for 2 seconds. When the number of players being subbed on equals the number being subbed off, the “Confirm” button appears and you can carry out the substitution. In practice, multiple substitutions take no more than a few seconds this way. # Issuing a card [Watch, Pro] To issue a card, tap the respective card in the [sf:hand.raised] action menu. If you are playing without a fixed line‑up, a number pad opens on which you enter the player’s number. Confirm with the colored button at the bottom right. If you are playing with a fixed line‑up, a selection view of all outfield players, substitutes, and team officials (C, A1, A2, A3) opens. Players who have already received a card or a time penalty are marked accordingly. Tap the player to whom you are issuing a card. A confirmation dialog opens showing the selected player big. If you confirm the card, the match report and match notes are updated and the display returns directly to the main screen. # Recording a goal [Watch] ## All modes: Free, without and with fixed team line‑ups To record a goal, tap the score display of the respective team. ## Without a fixed team line‑up If you are playing without a fixed team line‑up, a number pad opens on which you can enter the goal scorer’s shirt number. If it is an own goal or a penalty goal, you can press the [sf:quote.bubble] key on the number pad to go to the view with the selection option for own goal and penalty goal. You can only activate one of the two sliders at a time. If a selection is active, return to the number pad with the [sf:chevron.left] button. After submitting the shirt number, you see a confirmation view. ## With a fixed team line‑up A selection view of all outfield players, substitutes, and team officials (C, A1, A2, A3) opens. Players who have already received a card or a time penalty are marked accordingly. Below the player view you can also specify via two buttons whether it is an own goal or a penalty goal. If the own‑goal button is activated, the view jumps to the other team. Tap the goal scorer. A confirmation dialog opens showing the selected player big. If you confirm the scorer, the match report and match notes are updated and the display returns directly to the main screen. # Issuing a time penalty [Watch, Pro] Temporary dismissals can be enabled in the [sf:gearshape] settings when the Pro version is active. When the “Activate temporary dismissals” slider is switched on, a stepper appears below it to set the length of the time penalty between 1 and 10 minutes. To issue a time penalty, tap “Temporary dismissal” in the [sf:hand.raised] action menu and select the appropriate reason: ## Without a fixed team line‑up If you are playing without a fixed team line‑up, a number pad opens on which you can enter the player’s shirt number for the time penalty. After submitting the shirt number, a confirmation view appears. Confirm your selection. The time penalty is now shown on the main screen with a timer in place of the notes. This way, you always have an eye on how long the time penalty will last. As soon as a time penalty has expired, the button turns green and the Apple Watch vibrates. If you tap the timer button, the overview of all active time penalties opens with to‑the‑second timers. If a timer has expired and the player can return to the field, the “Return to match” button is shown next to their shirt number. Tap it and the player is again part of the active outfield players. ## With a fixed team line‑up A selection view of all outfield players, substitutes, and team officials (C, A1, A2, A3) opens. Players who have already received a card or a time penalty are marked accordingly. Tap the player who should receive the time penalty. A confirmation dialog opens showing the selected player big. If you confirm the player, the match report and match notes are updated and the display returns directly to the main screen. The time penalty is now shown on the main screen with a timer in place of the notes. This way, you always have an eye on how long the time penalty will last. If multiple time penalties are active, the total number of all active time penalties is also displayed. The timer always reflects the time penalty with the least remaining time. As soon as a time penalty has expired, the button turns green and the Apple Watch vibrates. If you tap the timer button, the overview of all active time penalties opens with to‑the‑second timers. If a timer has expired and the player can return to the field, the “Return Player” button is shown next to their shirt number. Tap it and the player is again part of the active outfield players. If you are playing with a fixed line‑up, the official IFAB rules can be applied when a second time penalty is given: If a player receives a second time penalty, this is equivalent to a send‑off. After the end of the time penalty, however, a substitute may be brought on for the sent‑off player. Therefore, after a second time penalty has expired, two symbols are shown in the overview of time penalties: - Press the red [sf:x.circle] symbol to end the time penalty without a substitution. - Press the green [sf:arrow.up] symbol to bring on a substitute for the sent‑off player. The usual view for substitutions then opens. In addition to the replacement player, you can make further substitutions there. For the “Confirm” button to appear, the number of players coming on must be 1 higher than the number of players leaving the field. # Energy consumption per match [Watch] Measured values for battery consumption under real‑world conditions for a 90‑minute match with fitness and location tracking switched on: - Apple Watch SE (1st gen): 40 percent battery. - Apple Watch Ultra 2: 8 percent battery. Factors such as ambient temperature, background refresh of other apps, or the use of cellular can additionally affect consumption. # Reset an accidentally started timer [Watch] In the [sf:pencil.and.list.clipboard] match report you can also reset a timer started by mistake or cancel the entire match recording. To do this, tap the [sf:clock.badge.xmark] at the bottom right of the match report. This opens the choice of whether you want to reset the timer only to the last pause or cancel the entire match recording. The choice requires confirmation for safety. # Match with return substitutions [Watch, iPhone, Pro] If you are playing with a fixed line‑up, you can specify whether you allow return substitutions or not. In the [sf:gearshape] settings under “Professional mode” you can activate the slider for return substitutions. Return substitutions are recorded like normal substitutions. However, they are not added to the total number of substitutions displayed on the main screen. # Set line‑ups [Watch, iPhone, Pro] ## On the iPhone If you have activated the Pro features, you can enable “Set teams” in the [sf:gear] settings. If the slider is switched on, two fields appear below in the respective team colors. Tap a field to go to the player selection view. There you can tap shirt numbers to add them to the line‑up. To remove players from the line‑up or select captain and goalkeeper, press and hold these for three seconds. A selection menu for these actions opens. If a player is selected as captain, their jersey is complemented by an armband. A goalkeeper is indicated by a white goalkeeper glove. A player who is both captain and goalkeeper is indicated by a colorful glove with a “C” on it. To add substitutes to the bench, switch to the “Substitutes” tab in the top navigation. There, too, you can add to the line‑up with taps and long presses. The confirm button at the end of the page shows you how many players and substitutes you have selected. Press the button to return to the settings. The “Reset” button deletes the entire selection and you can start over. ## On the Apple Watch If you have activated the Pro features, you can enable “Set teams” in the [sf:gearshape] settings (recommended). If the slider is switched on, a button with the [sf:person.crop.rectangle.stack] symbol appears on the main screen for each team. This opens the selection screen for players and substitutes. To add players, you can either use the number pad. There you can enter multiple players comma‑separated. Once you have entered all players, press the [sf:person.3] button. The players are now shown to you in the overview. Or you scroll down. There you have the option to record the line‑up using speech recognition. Tap the gray button with the three symbols for this. In the view that opens, make sure that “Speech recording” is selected for input. You can recognize this by the symbol in the bottom right corner. If a [sf:microphone.badge.ellipsis] is not displayed there, tap the displayed symbol once and select the microphone. Each shirt number must be separated from the next number by a spoken “comma.” Once you have entered all players, press the [sf:person.3] button. The players are now shown to you in the overview. In the overview you can tap a player to set them as captain and/or goalkeeper. If a player is selected as captain, their jersey is complemented by an armband. A goalkeeper is indicated by a white goalkeeper glove. A player who is both captain and goalkeeper is indicated by a colorful glove with a “C” on it. To remove a player from the overview, long‑press their jersey. To remove all players from a line‑up, scroll down in the overview and press the “Delete all” button. ## With the Lineup API If your football association uses the Lineup API, you can transfer line‑ups and match parameters for each match to *Wie steht’s, Brudi?* on your iPhone with a single tap from any website or association app. This works in a fraction of a second. You can find more information here: [Lineup API](https://www.wiestehtsbrudi.de/lineup-api-fuer-dfbnet-und-verbandssoftware) The Lineup API transfers data only into the app. It does not export completed match reports or other match data from the app back to DFBnet or any other association software. # How can I set a team’s captain and goalkeeper? [Watch, iPhone, Pro] ## On the iPhone Pro features and “Set teams” must be activated. To select a player as captain and goalkeeper, go in the [sf:gear] settings to the selection view of the respective team under “Set teams.” Press and hold the player for three seconds. A selection menu opens for selection as captain or goalkeeper. ## On the Apple Watch Pro mode and “Set teams” must be activated. On the main screen, press the [sf:person.crop.rectangle.stack] button of the respective team to go to the player overview. In the player overview you can tap a player to set them as captain and/or goalkeeper. If a player is selected as captain, their jersey is complemented by an armband. A goalkeeper is indicated by a white goalkeeper glove. A player who is both captain and goalkeeper is indicated by a colorful glove with a “C” on it. # Why do jerseys with the labels C, A1, A2, and A3 also appear in the card selection screen? [Watch, Pro] The labels C, A1, A2, and A3 stand for the coach and up to three other team officials for the respective team. These are automatically added to both teams when playing with fixed line‑ups. # Delete line‑ups [Watch, iPhone, Pro] ## On the Watch To remove a player from the [sf:person.crop.rectangle.stack] player overview, long‑press their jersey. To remove all players from a line‑up, scroll down in the player overview and press the “Delete all” button. ## On the iPhone Settings > Set teams > Player selection: To remove a player from the line‑up, press and hold them for three seconds. A selection menu opens. Press “Delete player.” The “Reset” button deletes the entire selection and you can start over. In the [sf:gearshape] settings you can reset all settings at once using the [sf:arrow.uturn.left.circle] button in the top page navigation. All line‑ups are deleted in the process. # Lineup API: Import line‑ups from DFBnet or another platform [iPhone, Pro] If your football association uses the Lineup API, you can transfer line‑ups and match parameters for each match to *Wie steht’s, Brudi?* on your iPhone with a single tap from any website or association app. This works in a fraction of a second. You can find more information here: [Lineup API](https://www.wiestehtsbrudi.de/lineup-api-fuer-dfbnet-und-verbandssoftware) The transfer direction is exclusively from DFBnet, a website or an association app into *Wie steht’s, Brudi?*. The Lineup API does not transfer a completed match report or other match data from the app back to DFBnet or any other association software. # Activate and configure time penalties [Watch, iPhone, Pro] On the iPhone and the Apple Watch, you can activate time penalties in the settings when Pro features are switched on. As soon as you switch on the slider, you can set the length of the time penalty between 1 and 10 minutes with a control below. On the Apple Watch you can also operate the control with the crown. # How can I see how long a time penalty still lasts? [Watch, Pro] A time penalty is displayed on the main screen with a circular countdown timer in place of the notes. This way, you always have an eye on how long the time penalty will last. If multiple time penalties are active, the total number of all active time penalties is also shown. The timer always corresponds to the time penalty with the least remaining time. As soon as a time penalty has expired, the button turns green and the Apple Watch vibrates. If you tap the timer button, the overview of all active time penalties opens with to‑the‑second timers. If a timer has expired and the player can return to the field, the “Return Player” button is shown next to their shirt number. # A player has completed their second time penalty. Depending on the rule set, they may be replaced by a substitute. [Watch, Pro] If you are playing with a fixed line‑up, the official IFAB rules can be applied when a second time penalty is given: If a player receives a second time penalty, this is equivalent to a send‑off. After the end of the time penalty, however, a substitute may be brought on for the sent‑off player. Therefore, after a second time penalty has expired, two symbols are shown in the overview of time penalties: - Press the red [sf:x.circle] symbol to end the time penalty without a substitution. - Press the green [sf:arrow.up] symbol to bring on a substitute for the sent‑off player. The usual view for substitutions then opens. In addition to the replacement player, you can make further substitutions there. For the “Confirm” button to appear, the number of players coming on must be 1 higher than the number of players leaving the field. # Can I view my fitness data during a match? [Watch, Pro] During a running match, you can access the fitness overview via the [sf:magazine] notes or the time‑penalty timer at the same place. With horizontal swipe gestures you scroll through the views Fitness, Match notes, and Time penalties. # Where can I see which players have already been cautioned or substituted? [Watch, Pro] In the [sf:magazine] notes you can see which players have already been cautioned or substituted. Each player is marked with symbols for the respective sanction. For time penalties, the red [sf:x.circle] means the time penalty is still active. The green [sf:x.circle] shows that the time penalty has already been served. If the [sf:clock] symbol is white, it is the first time penalty; if the [sf:clock] symbol is yellow, it is the second time penalty. # Why can I only edit or delete match events such as goals, substitutions, cards, and time penalties when teams are fixed? [Watch, Pro] Playing with fixed line‑ups uses a different data structure with a lot of metadata that traces the sequence of player‑related events. Only with that is the correction or deletion of match events possible. # How is the recommended stoppage time calculated? [Watch] If you tap the timer on the main screen, you activate pause mode, for example during goal celebrations or injury breaks. The timer blinks and the word “BREAK” appears in red above it. Your Apple Watch reminds you every 5 seconds with a vibration that the app is in this mode. If you tap the timer again, pause mode ends. The duration of the pause is added to the recommended stoppage time. The accumulated time is rounded up and displayed in minutes as the recommended stoppage time. # Can I time interruptions due to goal celebrations or injury breaks separately? [Watch] If you tap the timer on the main screen, you activate pause mode, for example during goal celebrations or injury breaks. The timer blinks and the word “BREAK” appears in red above it. Your Apple Watch reminds you every 5 seconds with a vibration that the app is in this mode. If you tap the timer again, pause mode ends. The duration of the pause is added to the recommended stoppage time. The accumulated time is rounded up and displayed in minutes as the recommended stoppage time. # Do saved matches remain after deleting the app? [Watch, iPhone] No. If you delete the app from a device, all associated data are deleted, including the saved matches. If you delete the app from the iPhone but have matches saved on the Apple Watch, you can transfer them again to the iPhone after reinstalling the app. # My match configuration is not being sent from the iPhone to the Apple Watch [Watch, iPhone] If a match configuration is not transferred from the iPhone to the Apple Watch, this is usually due to a system‑side communication issue: The connection is then no longer present because, for example, the app was opened on one device in the absence of the other device and a new connection was made whose key does not match the already existing connection of the other device. In such a case, you can fully close the app on both devices and open it again to establish the connection correctly. # How can I cancel my subscription? [Watch, iPhone, Pro] If you want to cancel your subscription, go on the iPhone to Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions > *Wie steht’s, Brudi?* > Cancel subscription # Why are weather, the venue address, or my movement analysis not displayed? [iPhone, Pro] Location, route, address and weather are recorded by the Apple Watch during a match. First enable “Location Tracking” in the Watch app’s [sf:gearshape] settings and allow location access “While Using the App”. The “Movement and Weather” switch on iPhone is then unlocked. If recording fails, check Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services on the Apple Watch and make sure location services and the app’s permission are enabled. The Apple Weather app does not need permission: this app requests WeatherKit data for the coordinates recorded by the Watch. Restart the app on Watch and iPhone after changing a permission. Weather and the resolved address also require an internet connection. Movement analysis needs enough valid location samples during the match. Do not reset all Location & Privacy settings as a routine troubleshooting step, because that also removes permissions for other apps. # Why are my performance data incomplete or not displayed at all? [iPhone, Pro] Fitness tracking must be activated via the Apple Watch before first use so that watchOS can request consent for access to the data. Activate the “Fitness tracking” slider in the [sf:gearshape] settings. The prompt then appears asking whether the Watch app may access Apple Health. In that prompt, give consent for all parameters, both for reading and writing. The consent is saved automatically and the slider in the iPhone app is unlocked. In future, you can also set the setting via the iPhone. If only some data are transmitted, permission may be missing for individual Health values. On iPhone, open Health, tap your profile, then Privacy > Apps > *What’s the Score, Bro?*. The app needs access to the workout and, where supported by the device, heart rate, active energy, walking/running distance, running speed, running power and activity summaries. Start the permission flow in the Watch app, then restart both apps. # Why are the first rows of the squad in the selection view cut off? [iPhone, Pro] If the first row is cut off in the team selection view on the iPhone, this is usually due to an especially large font size set in the settings. Check under Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text > Larger Dynamic Type If this function is activated, or the slider for font size is far to the right, the first row of shirt numbers will be truncated. # AI analysis: Why is the message “Not enough data for an analysis.” displayed? [iPhone, Pro] For a meaningful AI analysis, fitness data recording must last at least 10 minutes. # Which data does the AI analysis process? [iPhone, Pro] The AI uses your entire performance data from a match for the analysis over the entire period: distance covered, speed, power, and heart rate. The data are weighted into the indicators activity, explosiveness, and fatigue, and condensed into a summary. # Where can I find a match's fitness data and which values are shown? [iPhone, Pro] Under [sf:sportscourt] Matches, open the match and tap “Fitness” in the action row at the beginning of the match detail view. The button appears when fitness data were recorded for the match and transferred to the iPhone. The fitness view contains an experimental AI analysis and the following recorded and calculated values: - distance: average distance per recorded minute, total distance, the progression throughout the match and the minute with the greatest running or walking distance, - speed: average and maximum speed, total time in motion and the percentage spent standing, walking, jogging, running slowly, running fast, at high speed and sprinting, - heart rate: average, maximum and progression throughout the match, - running power: average and maximum in watts, plus the progression of minimum, average and maximum values, - active calories, including a food comparison for context. The green and red triangles compare each value with the averages from the last ten saved matches that contain fitness data. Tap [sf:square.and.arrow.up] to share the fitness evaluation. # Where can I view the movement analysis with heatmap and sprints for my match? [iPhone, Pro] Under [sf:sportscourt] Matches, open the match and tap “Map” in the action row at the beginning of the match detail view. The button appears when movement data are available for the match. You can also open the movement analysis by tapping the displayed venue address. # In the movement analysis, what does the yellow circle mean that appears when tapping the [sf:tshirt.fill] symbol of a goal scorer? [iPhone, Pro] If you tap a goal scorer in the movement analysis, a yellow circle appears around their shirt number. This is a 20‑meter radius that scales appropriately when zooming in and out on the map. 20 meters should be the maximum distance from the action to have a good view. For goals, you can use this to check your positioning. # Fitness: What do the green and red triangles with percentage values mean? [iPhone, Pro] The green and red triangles with percentage values show how each fitness value differs from the average of the last ten saved matches that contain fitness data. Red triangles indicate below-average values and green triangles indicate above-average values. # Can I transfer a completed match directly to DFBnet or other association software? [iPhone] A completed match report cannot be transferred directly or automatically from the app to DFBnet or any other association software. The Lineup API works only in the opposite direction: it imports line-ups and match settings from DFBnet or another platform into the app and does not transfer a completed report back. For manual entry, open the saved match on iPhone under [sf:sportscourt] “Matches”. It initially opens in the compact view. General match data and the “Overview”, “Subs”, “Cards” and “Goals” sections are presented in a compact format. Use this information to enter the report manually into DFBnet or the relevant association software. Tap “Detail” for the full chronological match report; “Compact” returns to the compact view. # Can I share match results with others? [iPhone] You can share or send match results. In the [sf:sportscourt] overview of all matches on the iPhone, you can reveal the [sf:square.and.arrow.up] “Share” button for a match with a swipe gesture to the right. Tap it once to share the match view with others. For every match with recorded fitness tracking, you can save, send, and share an infographic with your match statistics. Simply tap the [sf:square.and.arrow.up] Share button in the match’s [chart.line.uptrend.xyaxis] Fitness Analysis. # Editing match titles [iPhone] In the [sf:sportscourt] overview of all matches on the iPhone, you can reveal the [sf:pencil] “Edit” button for a match with a swipe gesture to the right. Tap it once to change the title of the match. Alternatively, in the match report view you can tap the [sf:square.and.pencil] symbol to the right of the title to change it. # Deleting matches [Watch, iPhone] ## On the Apple Watch Open [sf:tray.full.fill] menu > “Saved games” to go to the overview of all saved matches. Swipe the match you want to delete to the left. Tap the appearing [sf:trash] button and the match is deleted. ## On the iPhone In the [sf:sportscourt] overview of all matches on the iPhone, you can reveal the [sf:trash] “Delete” button for a match with a swipe gesture to the left. Tap it once to delete the match. Alternatively, in the match view you can tap [sf:ellipsis] menu > [sf:trash] “Delete match” to delete the match. # Which match formats can be set? [Watch, iPhone, Pro] - Free match without fixed time and without half‑time break - Match with up to four periods - Knockout match with up to four periods and penalty shoot‑out - Knockout match with up to four periods, two extra‑time periods, and penalty shoot‑out If you activate the KO mode slider in Settings > Match preparation > KO match, you can then decide whether, in the event of a draw after regular playing time, you only want to carry out a penalty shoot‑out or how long the two extra‑time periods should last. # How can I conduct decider matches? [Watch, iPhone, Pro] If you activate the KO mode slider in Settings > Match preparation > KO match, you can then decide whether, in the event of a draw after regular playing time, you only want to carry out a penalty shoot‑out or how long the two extra‑time periods should last. # What is the half‑time alarm? [Watch, iPhone] The half‑time alarm activates a vibration in each half‑time break that informs you when the preset time has been reached. This way you always know when to continue without having to look at the watch. # Tracking settings: Location services, weather, and fitness (Apple Health) [Watch, iPhone, Pro] ## Fitness Fitness Tracking must be enabled on Apple Watch before first use so watchOS can request Health permissions. In [sf:gearshape] settings, enable “Fitness Tracking” and allow the requested read and write access. The “Fitness Data” switch on iPhone is then unlocked. If it remains disabled, reopen both apps and check permissions in Health. ## Weather and location services On Apple Watch, enable “Location Tracking” and allow the app’s location access “While Using the App”. You can then switch “Movement and Weather” on or off from iPhone as well. WeatherKit uses the coordinates supplied by the Watch, so the Apple Weather app does not need permission. Without an internet connection, weather and the resolved address may be missing even when the route itself was recorded. # Which functions are available without a Pro subscription? [Watch, iPhone] Without a Pro subscription you can conduct free matches and matches with halves. You can use the timer, the recording of stoppage time, the half‑time alarm, and the score display. Matches are saved and transferred to the iPhone. Not available without a subscription: - Fitness tracking - Movement analysis - Fixed line‑ups - Setting captain and goalkeeper - Decider/KO matches - Penalty shoot‑outs - Cautions and send‑offs - Time penalties with timers # Do I have to know myself when the penalty shoot‑out is over? [Watch, Pro] No. The app calculates based on the course of the shoot‑out when it is decided and ends it automatically: - When the goal lead of one team can no longer be caught up before the fifth round. - After five rounds with a different outcome. - From round 5 onward, after the first round with a different outcome. # Where do I record missed penalties in a penalty shoot‑out? [Watch, Pro] Missed penalties are entered in the penalty view via the two [sf:xmark.shield] buttons in the top corners. # Which settings can I prepare on iPhone and send to Apple Watch? [iPhone, Watch] In [sf:gearshape] Settings you can prepare Professional Mode, card selection, fixed teams and lineups, return substitutions, goals by bench players, temporary dismissals from 1 to 10 minutes, number and length of periods, the end-of-break alert, an elimination match with extra time or penalty shoot-out only, movement and weather, fitness data, Strava upload and team colours. After making changes, tap “Update settings on Watch”. Options marked as Pro require an active Pro entitlement. Movement/weather and fitness remain unavailable on iPhone until their permissions have first been granted from the Apple Watch app. # What do Professional Mode, fixed teams, return substitutions and “Bench Players Can Score” mean? [iPhone, Watch, Pro] Professional Mode enables the advanced referee functions. Fixed teams define specific squads and shirt numbers so events can be assigned to players and edited in detail later. Return substitutions allow a substituted player to enter again. “Bench Players Can Score” is intended for competitions where a player currently marked as a substitute may still be recorded as the scorer. Enable only options that match your competition rules. # How do I save or transfer a match configuration? [iPhone, Watch] After configuring the match, tap “Update settings on Watch”. Local settings remain stored if the devices cannot reach each other, but transfer requires a working Watch connection. If synchronization fails, fully close both apps, open the Watch app first, then the iPhone app, and send the settings again. “Reset all settings” restores the configuration defaults. It does not automatically delete matches you have already saved. # What does the iPhone dashboard show? [iPhone, Pro] The dashboard evaluates saved matches for the selected time range. Cards include total matches, positive ratings, time on the pitch, total distance, average performance score, goals, cards, temperatures and venues. Some detailed cards and evaluations require Pro. Tap a card to open its detailed view. # Where can I find my total running distance? [iPhone, Pro] Your combined running distance across multiple matches is shown on the “Total distance” card in the dashboard. It adds the distances from all matches included in the currently selected time range. Above the dashboard cards, choose All time, Year, Month or Custom. Tap “Total distance” to open the distance-per-match view with the individual matches and their average. Total distance and its detailed view are Pro features. # How do I filter the dashboard by time period? [iPhone] Above the dashboard cards, choose All time, Year, Month or Custom. The Year option is shown only if saved matches span more than one year. Month offers only months that contain saved matches. For Custom, set From and To dates; if they are accidentally reversed, the app automatically uses the earlier date as the start and the later date as the end. All dashboard cards and detail views then use the filtered matches. A message is shown when the selected period contains no matches. # How do I filter saved matches and what is the demo match? [iPhone] In [sf:sportscourt] Matches, tap [sf:line.3.horizontal.decrease.circle] at the top right. You can combine several criteria: match experience (positive, neutral or negative), From/To dates, a Performance Score from 1 to 100, distance in kilometres, and a minimum number of cards and goals. The card count includes yellow, second-yellow and red cards. Date and value ranges include their boundary values. Tap “Done” to close the filter; a filled yellow filter icon indicates that a filter is active. The overview header updates to show the matching game count, earliest date, venue count and the distribution of positive, neutral and negative ratings. Tap the venue count to view the venues on a map. If nothing matches, tap “Reset Filters”. “Load Demo Game” is offered when no games are stored and adds a realistic sample containing a map, fitness data and AI analysis. You can delete it like any other saved match. # Which actions are available for a saved match? [iPhone] Open a match from [sf:sportscourt] Matches. The action row is directly below the map header or at the start of the list. A match opens in the compact overview. Tap “Detail” to show the complete chronological match report; there, “Compact” returns to the compact view. “Map” appears only when movement data exist, “Fitness” only when heart-rate data exist and “Lineup” only when lineup data were saved. At the top right, [sf:square.and.arrow.up] opens the share preview. The separate [sf:ellipsis] menu contains only “Add Event” and “Delete game”. Use [sf:square.and.pencil] beside the match title to rename it. The detail view shows the result, periods and all events chronologically. Swipe an editable event to change it or delete it after confirmation. Event editing is not available from the compact view. # Which content can I share as an image? [iPhone] The share preview offers formats supported by the match data: match overview, workout statistics, match report, heatmap, transparent heatmap sticker and sprint analysis. Formats without sufficient data are not offered. Review the preview and tap “Share” to save or send the rendered image through the iOS share sheet. The heatmap sticker is shared or copied as a PNG so that its transparency is preserved. # How do I get the Referee Academy discount code? [iPhone, Pro] With Pro active, open the offer through the [sf:giftcard] icon on the dashboard. When the app language is German, it is also available under Help > [sf:ellipsis.circle] > Referee Academy. The view displays a personal code for a one-time 50 percent discount on the Referee Academy Advance annual subscription. Tap the code to copy it or tap “Code einlösen” to open Apple’s redemption view. The App Store displays the binding terms before you complete the transaction. The code is stored on iPhone. When the view is opened again after six months, the app automatically requests a current code from the server and replaces the stored value after a successful response. If the connection temporarily fails, the existing code remains visible. Each code can be used only once. # How do I use movement analysis, the heatmap and sprint view? [iPhone, Pro] Movement analysis places the recorded route on a map. Map controls toggle route/playback, density or heatmap, match events and sprints. Playback can be paused, moved ten seconds backward or forward and played at double speed. Depending on the recording, the view reports positions, sprints above the threshold, goals and disciplinary actions. Missing data usually means Location Tracking was disabled or too few valid positions were recorded. # Which fitness values and comparisons are shown? [iPhone, Pro] The fitness view shows distance, average and maximum speed, average and maximum power, average and maximum heart rate and active calories. Trends compare the current match with the average of the last ten saved matches that contain fitness data. If there are not enough comparable matches, individual trends or comparisons may be empty. # How does the AI performance analysis work? [iPhone, Pro] The analysis turns minute-by-minute fitness values into a performance score, load phases and activity, explosiveness and fatigue indicators. When at least three suitable older matches exist, it can include a personal baseline. A match needs at least ten minutes of usable fitness data. This is an experimental feature; results may be incomplete or incorrect and are not medical or professional training advice. # What is Season Replay? [iPhone, Pro] Season Replay summarizes matches from the supported season period and creates a shareable season card. Depending on available data, it includes matches, time on the pitch, distance and other highlights. For the personal card, use a placeholder, choose a photo from the library or—with permission—take and crop a new photo. It appears only when matching games exist for the supported season and Pro is active. # How do I restore a purchase and why is Pro not recognized? [iPhone, Watch, Pro] Use “Restore Purchases” in the purchase screen and make sure the device uses the same Apple Account that bought the subscription or lifetime licence. Connect to the internet and reopen both iPhone and Watch apps. Purchases, prices, terms and trials are managed by the App Store. If Pro is still missing, never send passwords or full payment data; tell support your device, app version and purchase type. # Why are the iPhone and Watch apps incompatible or features missing? [iPhone, Watch] Check the app and operating-system versions first. Only version 4.0.7 requires watchOS 26 on Apple Watch. Update the app on both iPhone and Apple Watch to version 4.0.8 or later; the Watch app is then supported again on watchOS 10 or later. The iPhone app continues to require at least iOS 26.1. After an iPhone update, update the Watch app through the Watch app on iPhone or the App Store. Make sure both apps use the same current version, then restart them. Different app versions may fail to transfer new settings or data fields correctly. # How should I use the Help Chat? [iPhone, Pro] Write a complete sentence and include the context. For example, ask “How do I add a red card after the match?” instead of only “red card”, because the short phrase could refer either to app operation or a football Law. For a technical issue, include the device, affected feature, permissions already granted and exactly what you see. The chat answers app questions from this guide and Laws questions from the stored IFAB Laws. # Who can I contact if I have an idea for a new feature? [Watch, iPhone] Feel free to send an email to [thilo@wiestehtsbrudi.de](mailto:thilo@wiestehtsbrudi.de) # Who can I contact if my questions here in the chat were not answered satisfactorily? [iPhone, Pro] Feel free to send an email to [thilo@wiestehtsbrudi.de](mailto:thilo@wiestehtsbrudi.de)
