Week 32 1 — 7 August 2026

Paddle Pals

The padel community platform for players and court managers.

  • Certificate studio, fully loaded. Seventeen certificate designs across four collections, including a new Padel Classics range, from formal award styles through to full roast mode for the group chat.
  • Shuffle the wording. Over thirty wording variations across winner, defeat, and participation certificates, so no two roasts need ever read the same.
  • Email certificates directly. Send the full A4 certificate PDF straight to a friend from the app. Court managers can send them to their members too.
  • Smarter match records. When one player logs a result, every player in the match gets the right win or loss recorded automatically. No more one-sided scorelines.
  • Truer stats everywhere. Friends list, profiles, and the leaderboard now count wins and losses from your actual match history.
  • Matches together. A friend's profile now shows your recent head-to-heads, each one tappable through to the full match details.
  • Snappier invites. Accepting or declining a match invite now updates the screen instantly.

  • Swipe to delete. Clear whole SMS threads from the iOS app with a swipe and a confirmation.
  • Cleaner screens. A refreshed header across all five tabs of the iOS app, always readable, always centred.
