🎯 What's New in This Update?
1. Game Schedule with Live Countdowns ⏰
Real-time countdown timers for every game
The Problem We Solved
Many users told us they often missed game closing times because they had to manually track when each game closes. Checking the time, remembering schedules, and calculating "how much time is left" was frustrating.
The Solution
We've introduced a comprehensive Game Schedule screen that shows all 25 Baba Ijebu games with real-time countdown timers. Here's what makes it special:
- Live Countdown Timers: See exactly how much time is left before each game closes. Updates every second for accurate timing in easy-to-read format like "2h 15m" or "5m 30s"
- Smart Status Indicators: Color-coded badges show game status at a glance
- 🟢 OPEN - Game is accepting entries
- 🟠 CLOSING SOON - Less than 30 minutes remaining
- 🔵 DRAWING - Results being generated
- ⚫ CLOSED - Draw completed
- Weekly View: Browse the complete schedule for the entire week. Each day shows all 6 games with their closing and drawing times
- Next Game Spotlight: The schedule prominently displays the next upcoming game so you never miss an opportunity
2. Favourites Feature ⭐
Mark and filter your favourite games with one tap
The Problem We Solved
With 25 different games available, scrolling through the entire list to find your regular games was time-consuming. Users wanted a way to quickly access the games they play most often.
The Solution
Introducing the Favourites system – your personalized shortcut to the games you love:
- Mark Your Go-To Games: Simply tap the star icon on any game to add it to your favourites. The star lights up in gold, and that's it!
- Quick Filter: Use the Favorites filter button to instantly see only your marked games. No more scrolling through all 25 games every time
- Works Everywhere: Filter the main game list, schedule view, and access a dedicated Favorites page from the menu
- Persistent Storage: Your favourites are saved permanently. Close the app, restart your phone – your favorites remain exactly as you set them
3. One-Tap Quick Access 🚀

Now you can tap any game directly from the schedule to jump straight to its results page. No extra navigation, no going back to home, no searching. Direct access in one tap.

4. Enhanced Year Selection 📊
