@tony@CIC I have no idea about those problems. Maybe email CS?

A couple of new features that I've heard of is that you can now "nudge" a shot when editing using the arrow keys, so you can more accurately move the pin or putt on the green. Also, in the stats it can show you stokes gained by shot.

I sent CS an email including the pic. BTW the pic in my post shows me hitting my 56* wedge 300 yds  I don't need no stinkin driver .  FYI, not sure if the Android versions are the same  as iPhone- but I'm running 2.13.5. So much for my previous comment about no issues with the app on my iPhone. 

While waiting for CSD to respond, I'm going to signout and delete the app. That's been the typical remedy in the past and won't download todays round.  Also since my wife and I are golfing today, I'll have her download the round and see if she has the same app quirks. 

The shame of was I had a great round yesterday shooting an 85 including a a bird on a par 5 which I wanted to post on the forum

@MattF, one ques. In the round edit mode, under 'details', an optional selection in 'Stroke Indexes' do you know what that means? I already selected the course handicap and the tees.

Stroke Index is discussed here.    It allows you to verify and select the handicap for each hole;

Thx - in the previous version that appeared when setting up a new tee box for the course.

@tony@CIC I'm too late...not that I knew and would have to have looked it up.

I had to look it up as well.

i updated my answer after having to use it when I was entering my round today.  It allows you to setup the HCP for each hole.

Well this old dog isn't liking new 'tricks' I'm still having issues with the tee box(s). I checked older rounds that I signed off on and the tee box (green) distance was correct on all of the holes. As mentioned in the earlier post, I did sign out of the app - deleted it and reinstalled. Now I'm wondering if this is a watch issue (not picking up the right tee box location) vs. the app. On yesterday's and today's round it had me hitting off of the tips on every hole. Note: I did check and the proper tee box is selected in the first edit screen. It also missed my fairway wood shot on #1. Initially I thought it might be a sensor issue - but I checked the other holes and the 3W did register. 

I like the button in the lower right (where the add shot +sign use to be)  to toggle between the fairway and greens along the + sign to add shots but can't figure out what the image above the greens toggle is for.  

If @Gavin_Shot_Scope is listening here, a couple of suggestions. Send out an email in advance of the version upgrade including details on the changes. so we're prepped on the change. 2) Do a short youtube video of the changes and how to  edit. A 10 minute video would have saved me a few hours in trying to figure everything out. 

I'm a huge proponent of Shotscope and will continue to use it as it does confirm my progress (or in some cases lack of) .

@tony@CIC have you asked CS if there needs to be a course update? IIRC that will sometimes fix the tee box issue.

[tony@CIC]

As usual, Shotscope was very responsive - I got the answer first thing Monday morning, re: the app showing my drives off of the tips. Since this coincided with my opening up the update, I naturally assumed it was the app's fault, barring that maybe the watch. Well there's a 3rd leg to the 3 legged stool which is the sensor. Before I went out to play this morning, I installed a  new driver sensor and voila, the app shows the correct tee box along with all the other shots registered. Why it picked up the the #56 wedge as my drive - not sure - but it's all good today.

For some reason I decided to order a set of sensors a month ago - how fortuitous. Here's a pick of the old sensor which is about 2 yrs and 300 rounds old.

I am not sure I understand.  Are you saying because the sensors are old, they think they are on a different location, as perhaps from a different tee box?

Paul, see the wear on the sensor, it's worn through the plastic and wearing the metal. That will mess with the sensor.

Small round felt furniture pads help with the wear problem.

Good question - the problem is that the sensor was worn out and the app will default to the tips if it doesn't recognize a driver sensor. I kinda knew that at some point I'd have to replace a sensor and thus the reason for buying the extras. Also as mentioned, my sensors are over 2 years old, 300+ rounds and the driver sensor probably getting a little extra pounding from me slamming the driver in disgust (from a bad drive ). The $30+ is extra insurance for the times that either they wear out or lost. And a lot cheaper than ARRCOS sensors I might add. 

@MattF good tip on the felt pads. 

I'll also add that it took a couple of edited rounds but I do like the new app. I haven't used the dashboard yet (and generally don't) but assume it's identical. I like the quick toggle between the fairway and greens, the 'nudging as Matt mentioned in a previous post and also the quick sign-off on the round. But still haven't figured out what this icon does as when I press it nothing happens.

I've had a similar issue a few times in the past where a sensor doesn't register a tee shot and it will randomly select a club and tee box and insert a "first shot." It's also done this if I have to tee off from a temporary tee box.

Since I've got them, I'm going to change out all the sensors except the putter. That one is only about 6 months old since I put it on when I got a new grip.

I haven't yet the seem the latest app update, but that top icon is an old 5 ¼" diskette and means "Save File".

So my guess is you've saved a data file into your device's "downloads" folder..?

if you add a shot or change something on the hole, it will become a active and allow,you to save your changes to that hole.  I added a shot to one of my holes and it turned blue.

It’s a 3 1/2” disk, the 5 1/4” had a hole in the middle.

Oh yeah... The larger one was the "floppy".

See? I'm starting to forget things...

Thanks for posting the images of the disks for the youngins on this Forum who've never seen one. Good thing it wasn't an image of a rotary phone.
