A redesigned Jersey Builder, and team jerseys on every game

The Jersey Builder is rebuilt: start from any NHL team or your own design, style every part of the jersey and socks, and spin it in 3D before you order. Team Settings is also redesigned, games show which jersey to wear, live scores can follow you to the iPhone Lock Screen, and one calendar link covers all your teams.

Redesigned Jersey Builder

Start from any NHL team's home or away jersey, a vintage look, or a plain custom design. Then change the colours, collar, sleeves, hem, shoulder yoke and body, with a small preview of every option. Pick a crest and recolour or resize it, and choose socks that match the jersey or have their own colours and stripes.

Spin the jersey in 3D, switch between front and back, and share a picture to Chatter or save it as an image or PDF. A size chart lists jersey and sock measurements for every size. After you order, the order page shows everything you chose for each set, and Design again or Reorder starts a new order from it.

Redesigned Team Settings

Settings is now one tidy list grouped by topic: Team Details, Seasons and Opponents, then reminders and spare invites, Notifications, Event Settings and Drink Rotation, Fees & Finances, Stats, Player Requirements, Security & Privacy, Health Check and Subscription. Delete Team Forever sits at the bottom.

Every settings screen now uses the familiar rows, switches and pickers of your phone. Team and opponent logos open a quick menu to choose or remove a photo, and Subscription shows your plan and invoices, with options to change your card or move the subscription to another team.

Team Jerseys on Your Games

Team Details has a new Jerseys screen where you can add as many jerseys as you need, name each one, pick its colour and choose the defaults for Home Games and Away Games. Teams that already had home and away colours start with those.

A jersey icon in your colour shows on upcoming game cards and in the Schedule list, and game details say which jersey to wear, plus the opponent's when they've set theirs. Editing a game has a Jersey row to pick a different one for just that game.

Live Scores on Your Lock Screen

Games in progress have a Follow Live Score button. Both teams, the score and the current period stay on your Lock Screen and keep updating, even when BenchApp is closed.

Your next game or two can also show on the Lock Screen with the time, location and how many players are in, out or on the waitlist. Choose whether it shows, how many events and how far ahead under Preferences in Account.

One Calendar for All Your Teams

Subscribe to Calendar now gives you one private link with all your teams, for Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or any calendar app. It updates by itself when events are added, changed or removed.

Anyone with your link can see your schedule, so you can reset it at any time. Calendars using the old link stop updating.

Improvements

  • Players confirm before checking themselves or their kids out of an event. Managers can turn this off with Confirm Checking Out in Event Settings.
  • RSVP links in emails and texts now open a page with a Check IN, Check OUT or Join Waitlist button, so nothing changes until you tap it.
  • The PRO upgrade screen is redesigned. It starts with the feature you were trying to use, compares Free and PRO, and has light and dark looks.
  • Players without a team see a welcome on Home and Schedule with ways to find a game, join a team or create one, instead of a pop-up.
  • Parents can remove a child from their account.
  • League standings show the columns that fit your sport, like win percentage and games behind.
  • League admins can set how many standings points a win, tie or overtime loss is worth.
  • Managers can choose whether scrimmages and drop-ins count toward games played, under Stats in Team Settings.
  • Game sheets, game details and final scores use each sport's own periods and terms, like quarters, innings, points and runs.
  • Baseball and softball games record each extra inning by number.
  • Scorekeeping starts with a period length that fits your league's sport.
  • Applying changes from Calendar Sync sends your team one notification instead of one for each game.
  • All active league staff can open the league schedule, and scorekeepers can enter scores from it with Quick Score.
  • The league menu now includes Broadcast and Bulletins.
  • Jersey Builder now shows in the menu for hockey teams.
  • Game rows in the Schedule show the opponent's logo next to its name, and All Teams shows your team's logo too.
  • The bar for editing a Chatter message now matches the reply bar.
  • Lines and borders in dark mode are a neutral gray instead of blue.
  • On iPad, picker and search screens use the standard navigation bar and search field.
  • The Announcements row in Account is now What's new? and opens the changelog.
  • The time row on Add Goalie lines up with the rest of the screen.
  • The notifications prompt has a Maybe later option.

Fixes

  • Jersey numbers like 0 and 00 show and save the way players entered them.
  • The Seen by and Reactions lists in Chatter match dark mode and open again after you close them.
  • Calendar Sync no longer mixes up a game's teams when the calendar shows a final score in the title, and only changes teams when it recognizes yours.
  • Messages in a new chat no longer get stuck on Sending after a retry.
  • Back on Lines and Batting Order takes you back to the game.
  • Header buttons on Android use BenchApp's colours instead of ones taken from your wallpaper.
  • Subscribe to Calendar keeps loading until your link is ready, without briefly saying it's unavailable.
