v1.2
Your group’s league has its own home — join, find your players and follow lifetime stats while today’s session keeps running.
New
Share one league with the group. Settings now carries a League section. Create shared league puts this phone's lifetime league under a ten-character code, and Copy join link turns that code into a link you can paste into the group chat. Whoever opens it gets asked first, in plain words: how many matches from how many players will be added, how many of their own were scored differently on somebody else's phone and will be brought up to date, and that two people with the same name become one. Nothing on their phone is deleted, Not now leaves it exactly as it was, and Leave later stops the sharing while every match stays put. Syncing is a tap — Sync now, in Settings — not something that happens behind your back.
Put Padlano on your home screen. Settings now offers Install Padlano, and the Players screen offers it once too — dismiss that and it stays gone a fortnight, and it never shows up over a live session. Installed, Padlano opens full screen and still runs with no signal, with no app store in the way. On a phone that fires no install prompt of its own — every iPhone, an Android that has installed it once already, a link opened inside Line or Facebook — it walks you through the steps for that exact browser instead of naming a button that isn't there.
Better
Gold, silver and bronze on the standings. The top three now carry a medal-coloured bar down the side and a filled rank disc — on the live standings, on the lifetime league and on the link you share — and the results podium fills its blocks and all three discs to match. On the standings, a player who has not played a match yet is left unmedalled.
Two share cards, not one. The results screen now saves either a Standings card — the whole stack at one fixed width, as tall as the roster needs — or, once you add a group photo, a Photo card: a fixed upright picture, cropped to fit, behind a paper panel carrying the top three, the next five and "+N more". A portrait shot can no longer stretch the picture down several screens and bury the result.
Fixed
Share links stop dying quietly. The service behind them used to drop off to sleep after a quiet week, which killed working links without a word. It now gets a nudge every Monday and Thursday, and a nudge that fails raises the alarm on our side rather than on your court.
Sharing says when it is off. If a share link can't be created, the Court tab keeps a visible status and offers Retry. The notice survives reopening the app and an offline start. Play carries on, with scores saved locally when storage is available.
Find your league without starting a session. The League tab holds saved players and lifetime stats. Joining takes you there and explains what was saved. Choose players for your next session without changing a session already running.
A browser invitation has a way into your installed app. Copy the league code, open Padlano from your home screen, then use League → Join with a league code. Links can still open in a browser; the code works without relying on that handoff.
The version now says v1.2. When a later update is ready, Padlano offers to save your session before reloading.
