We fixed an issue where the intro wouldn’t lower the background music, even if you had the setting enabled. Your intros should now sound just right, with music turning down exactly when it should. Thanks for using the app and helping us make it better with every update.

We’ve fine-tuned the playback engine to ensure your intros play through exactly as expected, every beat, every word, every time. No more surprise interruptions. Just flawless audio that gets the crowd hyped.

Remember that awkward moment when you imported your coach's walk-up songs and the app proudly queued up… a completely different tune? We’ve straightened out our playlist paperwork so imported tracks now match the exact song you picked, no surprise karaoke, no accidental lullabies, just the right hype every time.

Bug Fixes • Fixed a cloning glitch that made players a bit too loyal — they refused to join a new team. You can now clone your MVPs to other teams without resistance (or guilt).

Fixed a mysterious bug where some player images would vanish mid-scroll like they were being drafted by a secret league. They’re back now, safe and sound, and ready to stare confidently from the Player tab once again.

Crowd Fillers - BRAND NEW and RIDICULOUSLY FUN! Drop a Crowd Filler anywhere in your lineup and let the magic happen. Roll out a full-team introduction, pump music between innings, or unleash a goat scream and cowbell mash-up the next time someone steals a base or fouls the ball into the parking lot. If you can picture the moment, you can now create the Crowd Filler in Next Batter Up! Longer recordings, bigger moments: Audio Recording clip length jumps from 120 seconds to 300 seconds. Five full minutes for epic intros, rain-delay sing-alongs, or that inspirational speech you’ve been saving since tee-ball. Roomier AI scripts: AI Introductions now accept more characters, and Crowd Fillers get an even larger allowance, so every announcement can be as bold (or bizarre) as you like.

Bug Fixes • Fixed an issue where audio could cut out one second before the end of playback. • Added improvements that may resolve announcements not playing on certain Bluetooth speakers.
