What's new in Pitchside

A running log of new features, improvements, and fixes.

1.2.0 (8 May 2026)

Manage multiple squads from one app

Pitchside now supports multiple teams. Coaches running more than one squad (say, a U11 and a U13) can keep them in the same app, switch between them in a tap, and see each squad's matches, training, drills, and stats kept neatly separate.

• The app opens to a Teams list. Pick a team to jump into its Squad, Matches, Training, Stats, and More tabs.
• A "Switch team" entry at the top of the More tab takes you back to the Teams list.
• Each team carries its own format (9v9 or 11v11), so the lineup editor always uses the right pitch.
• Players can belong to more than one team. Add an existing player to a second squad and give them a different jersey number for that team.
• New screens for adding, editing, and deleting teams. Deleting a team removes its matches, training, and drills, but shared players stay put.
• Upgrading from an earlier version? On first launch, Pitchside asks for a name for your existing squad and moves all your players, matches, training sessions, and drills onto it automatically.

A fresh look

• New design system with custom typography. Space Grotesk for headers and scoreboards, Inter for body text. The whole app feels more polished and easier to read.
• Squad, Matches, and Training lists now use elevated rounded cards on a tinted background instead of flat rows.
• The Match detail screen leads with a hero scoreboard. Team avatars sit either side of large, easy-to-tap score inputs, with the competition and date in a pill above.
• Match list rows show a date chip on the left, opponent and a Win/Draw/Loss pill in the middle, and a bold scoreline on the right, coloured by result.
• The pitch grass has been retuned to read more naturally next to Pitchside's brand teal.

Squad and match improvements

• Squad cards now show each player's goals and assists for the season, summed from their match appearances. The pills only appear when there's something to show.
• Swipe a player left on the Squad screen to delete them. You'll be asked to confirm before anything is removed.
• Edit button on the Match detail screen. Change the opponent, date, venue, home/away, and competition without having to start over.
• Share your match lineup as an image. Tap Share next to Save in the lineup editor to capture the pitch with your starters and send it to WhatsApp, iMessage, Heja, Instagram, or anywhere else (including AirPrint).
• Win, loss, and draw labels are now translated into German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, alongside the existing English.

Settings, in one place

A new global Settings screen, opened from the gear icon on the Teams list, brings together backup, support, sample data, developer mode, and reset. These are app-wide, not team-specific, so they live outside the per-team tabs.

Fixes

• Match and training dates no longer shift by a day when saved. Coaches in time zones east of UTC were sometimes seeing dates roll back. They now save exactly as picked.
• Counts in attendance, appearances, drill records, and import messages now use the correct singular and plural forms.
• The keyboard no longer covers the text input when adding post-match thoughts, training notes, or per-player notes. The input now lifts above the keyboard.
• Settings (and Load Sample Data) is reachable again from inside a team via the More tab.
• Switching teams from inside a team now returns you cleanly to the Teams list, with no stale back button.
• Small inline buttons (Edit/Done, Select all/Deselect all, Save, Cancel) now have larger tap targets, comfortably above Apple's 44pt minimum.
