And we're thrilled to share that ShowRing is coming soon to the Charity Fair Horse Show in Del Mar, California and the Morgan Gold Cup in Columbus, Ohio. See you ringside! 1.0.7 Jun 7 Faster, smoother, and more polished:
• Snappier all around: We tuned the Schedule and Live screens to do less work behind the scenes, so they load faster and scroll more smoothly. More speed and efficiency improvements are on the way.
• Fixed a bug where status messages on the Live screen (like "Starting Later Today") could appear cut off. They now show in full.
• Visual polish and small fixes across the Live and Schedule tabs.
Thanks for using ShowRing, and have a great show at the Connecticut Morgan! 1.0.6 Jun 3 • Live Activities now update on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island in real time, even when the app is closed.
• More reliable notifications for the classes you follow.
• Stability and performance improvements. 1.0.5 Jun 2 Connecticut Morgan is here (June 3–6). And so are live results!
This update brings the show ring right to your phone so you never miss a moment, whether you're heading up the centerline or cheering from the rail.
What's new:
• Live results, as they happen. Watch standings update in real time for every class, from timed jumper rounds to judged placings, with clear Draft and Official labels so you always know where things stand.
• Follow every ring, see which class is in the ring now, what's coming up next, ring start times, and when a ring takes a break. Shows with multiple rings are fully supported.
• Results notifications: get notified the moment official results are posted.
• Social calendar: browse the week's events and add the full schedule (or just your favorites) to your calendar with one tap.
• Member badges: spot association members at a glance, right on the standings.
• Showgrounds weather: check the forecast for every day of the show without leaving the app.
• Built for the showgrounds: a faster, offline-friendly experience that keeps working even when the Wi-Fi doesn't.
We can't wait to see you at Connecticut Morgan. Good luck to every horse and rider! 1.0.4 May 31 • Standard US ribbon colors for placings (1st–6th).
• Scoring supports up to 16 placement slots — full championship depth.
• Edit Scores now available during Line Up and Delayed.
• Set class status directly from the schedule (Owners + Show Managers).
• New "Skip & Reschedule" action for the live class.
• Fixes for edit-scores decode error, platform-admin role detection, and AI Observer iPad UI polish. 1.0.3 May 8 Stability and polish across the board.
Live Activities and Dynamic Island. Big rewrite of the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch glances. The class number and timer always reflect what's actually happening: running, lining up, on break with a countdown, or done for the day. And the layouts no longer clip, drift, or disappear on Watch.
Better time estimates. Classes scheduled after a lunch or "resume at" break will no longer be predicted to start before the show actually resumes. The "Past estimate · over by …" indicator now shows up on the Live tab once a class runs long.
Smoother sign in. No more surprise sign-outs when your session refreshes in the background, fewer permission prompts during email-code sign in, and clearer error messages when a passkey isn't available.
Plus a few small additions:
- A new Home Screen widget showing the current class, on-deck rider, and ring status at a glance.
- A pre-permission welcome screen for first-time users.
- Show logos now appear consistently on every tab. 1.0.2 May 7 A polish-and-tools update based ahead of launch-week.
LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND
• Designed around the class number and timer for instant glanceability
• Clean Lock Screen layout, tight Dynamic Island, watchOS tile
• Auto-starts when your class is on deck and ends the moment it finishes
• Break countdown when the ring is on a break
HOME SCREEN
• New LiveState widget — see the ring's current class and status from your Home Screen
BRANDING
• Show and sponsor logos now appear wherever the show name is shown
• Sponsor logos surface on the Info tab
• Static venue map preview — tap to open in Apple Maps
UPDATES & ANNOUNCEMENTS
• Banner prompts for required and recommended app updates
• Admins can edit and retract announcements after publishing
Plus dozens of small fixes throughout — Info tab logo display, hero spacing, schedule row cleanup, and the leading "#" removed from class numbers everywhere. 1.0.1 May 4 1.0 May 3
