  1. v1.91iOS
    Frequent Scores in Statistics are now tappable — tap any score to see all games at that score, or tap View All for the complete list.
    
    Bug fix: upgrading a score-only game to full frame entry now correctly clears the score-only flag when the first ball is recorded.
  2. v1.91Android
    Bug fixes for score-only games — session totals and statistics now calculate correctly. Added Most Frequent section to Insights showing most used ball, center, pattern, and lane pair.
  3. v1.8iOS
    TABLET & IPAD SUPPORT
    
    Victory Bowling now makes full use of your tablet's screen. On any device 650px or wider, the app automatically activates a wide-screen layout — no rotation required.
    
    - Game entry screen uses the 50/50 split layout in portrait mode on iPad
    - Sessions list displays as a 2-column card grid
    - Session detail shows a sidebar with your session summary, total, average, and quick actions alongside the game list
    - Statistics screen arranges cards in a 2-column grid, with full-width cards for Frame Breakdown, Lane Split, Insights, and more
    - Home screen uses a 2×3 grid layout
    - New Session and Edit Session forms use a centred column so fields don't stretch uncomfortably wide
    
    SESSION TEMPLATES
    
    Templates got a significant overhaul in v1.8.
    
    - Long-press the + New button on the Sessions screen to instantly open a template picker — no need to go through the session type screen first
    - "From Template" is now a dedicated option on the New Session type screen
    - Save any existing session as a template directly from Edit Session — tap Save as Template to capture the center, oil pattern, ball, and categories in one tap
    - Templates now support multiple categories, matching how sessions handle categories
    
    BUG FIXES
    
    - Scoring: frames with a null ball 2 (edited after the fact) now correctly score as 0 rather than treating the missing shot as a spare, fixing inflated scores in preceding strike frames
    - Max score estimate: the /NNN figure no longer shows spare potential for a ball that was already thrown in a past frame
    - Share image: red split indicator circles now appear around ball 1 numbers when the leave is a split
    - Share image: 10th frame pin indicators now correctly handle all four cases - strike then non-strike, double then b3, non-strike spare then b3, and non-strike open
    - Share image: multi-ball header now collects per-frame ball IDs rather than only reading the game-level override, so mixed-ball sessions display correctly
