What's new in DartsOn

Introducing DON v29, our most accurate auto-scoring model yet

DON v29 is now available. It improves detection for tightly grouped darts and automatically calibrates for lens distortion. In our benchmark, it was more accurate at every quality level and processed each frame faster than DON v28. Faster processing also helps reduce heat and battery use.

Live Sharing for every game mode

Live Sharing now works with every game mode.

Your Live Sharing session stays active between games, so you can keep the same code and link without restarting it each time.

New Cricket Variants

Cricket now supports two new variants: Random and Hidden. Random Cricket chooses six numbers and the Bull for each leg. Hidden Cricket keeps those numbers secret until somebody hits them, with optional bonus points or an extra mark for discovering a target.

Callouts for Checkout Suggestions

Premium announcers and the system voice can now call out checkout suggestions. Enable this in Voice Settings. You can also choose the phrase and sound played after a bust.

Dedicated Singles Training

Singles Training has a new Dedicated Target mode. Pick a number and keep throwing while DartsOn tracks your 3-dart average, hits and misses.

Additional Improvements and Fixes

• X01 has a new “Finish Round” option for games with at least two human players. The remaining players can continue playing for second, third and later places.
• You can now adjust how quickly bots throw their darts.
• You can now turn on the torch (flashlight) when auto-scoring in very low light.
• Improved the Cricket layout for games with many players and on landscape screens.

Better Statistics

We completely revamped the statistics section of the app, focusing on metrics that are important and presenting them in a better way.

iPad Support

Full responsive support for iPads is now available.

Improved Bots

We completely rebuilt Bots and made a lot of improvements including:

• Bots are now available in all game modes, including Cricket.
• Much better decision-making algorithm for bots, making them play similar to humans on the same level.
• Bot profiles now show expected heatmaps.
• You can now see your performance against each bot.

Better Auto-Scoring Model

We made a lot of improvements to the auto-scoring model. In the new version it should work faster and be significantly more efficient.

Additional Improvements and Fixes

• New interface languages: Finnish, Hungarian and Polish.
• New “Killer” game mode.
• Improvements to badges, adding new ones and improving balance for existing badges.
• Added possibility to view results of all legs in game summary.
• Score announcers now work in Cricket mode.

DartsOn 2.3 brings camera auto-scoring to every game mode and lets you share your matches live. Here is what’s new.

Improved Camera Auto-Scoring

We shipped a new generation of our on-device AI model, so dart detection is faster and more accurate than before. Camera auto-scoring is also no longer limited to X01: Cricket, Around the Clock, Shanghai, Count-Up, Half-It, and all the training modes now score automatically too.

Live Match Sharing

You can now share and livestream your match with a web link that can be opened on any device. Ideal for displaying the game scores on a separate screen.

New Announcer Voices

We added new caller voice packs and improved the announcer system across the board. Callouts now work better in Cricket and other game modes, and voices matching your device language are suggested first.

Around the Clock Variants

Around the Clock got a popular new rule option: hitting a double or triple can now skip you ahead. Enable it in the game settings for a faster and more tactical game.

Better Statistics

• Dart heatmaps are now available in the match summary of every game mode.
• Statistics are saved after every leg, so nothing is lost if a match ends early.

Fixes and Improvements

• Faster app startup and smoother dart score edits.
• Lots of bug fixes and stability improvements across the app.

This is one of the biggest DartsOn releases to date. We hope you enjoy it, and we would love to hear what you think.

Camera Auto-Scoring

We’ve spent the last couple of months working on a new on-device AI model to enable camera-based auto-scoring. Now you can create a game, put your phone on a tripod, and DartsOn will do the scoring automatically. In the current version, it’s available only for X01, and we’re working hard to bring it to all other game modes.

Improved Design

We reworked the game creation flow so that you can create games much faster. It now takes just 3 taps to create a new game.

Dart Heatmap

You can now see your dart distribution on a heatmap, making it easier to understand where your throws land most often.

Improved Score Announcers

We’ve reworked the score announcer system so it works much better. You can configure the audio speed, adjust the volume, and more.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

We’ve fixed a lot of bugs along the way, greatly improving the stability of the app.

Meet the new, redesigned and improved version of DartsOn. It includes a lot of new features to improve your darts playing experience.

New Design

We made DartsOn’s design simpler, more intuitive, and easier to understand. Everything should still be familiar, but easier to use.

New Game Modes

This release brings a lot of new game modes, such as:

• Singles/Doubles training;
• Bob’s 27;
• Count-up;
• JDC Challenge;
• and more.

Give them a try and let us know what you think!

Better Statistics

We completely rebuilt and redesigned statistics so that it gives you even more insights into how you play and helps you improve your game.

Dart Board Score Entry

Another way to enter your scores. Tap and hold for a precise entry and later see the results on a heatmap.

Fixes and Improvements

• We improved our audio system, so all the sounds should work much better now.
• Generally improved performance and stability of the app.

New Game Modes

We’re adding new game modes in addition to existing X01, Cricket and ATC, giving even more options to play. In this release we’re adding:

• Shanghai: Score points by hitting the target number each round. Hit Single, Double, and Triple in one turn for an instant Shanghai win.
• Half It: Start with 40 points, hit assigned targets to score, miss all 3 darts and your score gets halved.
• Round the World: A simplified Around the Clock. Hit 1 through 20 in order, then bull. First to complete the board wins.

Color Themes & App Icons

We’re adding the ability to customise app themes and app icons, so that you can adapt DartsOn to look exactly as you like!

Other Improvements

• Add PPR Chart to Insights: Better way to visualize how you improve your game using the interactive chart on the Insights page.
• Around the Clock custom order: You can change the order in the ATC format now.
