Original release notes

Chess comes to Pickup. Find a match at a park near you, the same way you find a run or a pickup game.

Map your park. Stand on a court, field, net or table and mark it, so players find the right spot instead of wandering the park looking for you. Every sport now gets this, not just disc golf and golf.

The map shows only the sports you have filters on, and park pins are back to a sensible size.

Park chats open for everyone. They used to stay stuck loading if you played a different sport to the park, or if your phone was not in English.

Also in this release: a smoother Find a Game flow, headers that stay put instead of scrolling away on park and game screens, a link to add friends when you start your first message, and a long list of fixes to how games are matched, shown and opened.
