What's new on Clinch

Live game chat

Live chat on KBO game pages from 1 hour before first pitch until the final out. Sign in (Kakao or Google) to post; anyone can read. Finished games stay readable for 7 days.

Phone hub polish

Swiping the poster rail in cinema mode no longer drags the page, and the big screen follows the swipe. The bottom tab bar is gone on the hub.

Advertising page tidy-up

FAQ added; rates and reach updated from the last 30 days of measured traffic.

Daily snapshots archived

Traffic statistics and standings and scenario snapshots are now kept by date (no personal data).

A new look

A calm palette and the Do Hyeon display font across every sport, with tidier heading and icon sizes.

One menu for every sport

Same bottom tabs (standings, schedule, postseason, magic number, all sports) and the same menu order on every sport, plus a tool strip on each sport home.

Icons instead of emoji

Emoji on screen replaced with line icons; teams are shown with team-colour marks.

Send feedback

'Was this helpful?' and a feedback box (bug reports, suggestions) at the bottom of every page, no sign-in needed.
