Using Your Apple Watch

The Watch app is a fast way to log rolls without pulling out your phone. It's an input device: every roll goes straight into the session on your iPhone, and all the stats, scores and history stay on the phone.

Before you start

  • Install Crappin' Ain't Easy on your iPhone and sign in; the Watch app comes with it.
  • Start (or continue) the session on your iPhone. The Watch always works with your active session and shows No active session until there is one.
  • Keep your iPhone with you at the table.
  • Logging rolls and No Rolls from the Watch is a Premium feature. Without it the Watch shows PREMIUM REQUIRED; check your plan on the Premium card in Profile, then tap Try Again.

Logging rolls

The Watch opens on the roll-entry screen. Scroll to reach every button:

  • 2–12 (except 7) — tap the total. A ✓ with the number confirms it was sent.
  • Hard — tap it first (it turns to Hard ON), then tap 4, 6, 8 or 10 to log the hardway. It switches off after each roll.
  • 7 — the red button next to Hard.
  • No Roll and Undo — work exactly like on the phone.

Seven-outs and the next shooter

After a seven-out the Watch shows SEVEN OUT — Select the next shooter to continue and locks roll entry until you tap Select Next Shooter. (Undo still works if the 7 was a mistap.) In the shooter list:

  • Tap an existing shooter — yours is marked ME.
  • Anonymous / New Turn — pass the dice to someone without naming them.
  • New Shooter — type a name and tap Add.
  • Ending bankroll (optional) — tap to enter the outgoing hand's bankroll on the number pad, then DONE. Leave it blank to skip.

Status and Actions screens

Swipe sideways to move between the three screens.

  • Status — the shooter, roll count, point (ON, OFF, or OUT after a seven-out) and a big LAST ROLL (NR for a No Roll). Glance here to confirm a tap registered.
  • Actions — Next Shooter (pass the dice without a seven-out), End Session, and Resume Session to reopen the session you just ended.

If your phone is locked or away

If the iPhone can't answer right away you may see Still working…. If it's unreachable, the Watch shows Queued — will sync when phone wakes and holds the action; the Actions screen shows how many are waiting. Unlock or open the app on your iPhone and the queue sends in order.

Seeing lots of "Queued"? Open Crappin' Ain't Easy on your iPhone once at the start of the session and keep Bluetooth on — the Watch talks to the phone, not the internet.
