Our two apps for the small screen have gotten a little bit bigger today with fresh updates ahead of Friday’s iPhone 5 (and next month’s iPod Touch) launch. Beat Keeper 2.1 and Pitch, Please! 1.2 now take full advantage of 4-inch screens while retaining their compatibility with all current devices. As always, both updates are completely free for existing users.
With the release of iOS 6 coming tomorrow, we wanted to mention that forScore 4.1.2 is compatible with Apple’s latest update. While there are a few very minor interface issues that’ll be corrected with our next version, there’s no reason to hold off on upgrading if you’re so inclined (and have a recent backup of your forScore library). We’ll have more news on our 4.2 update shortly, so stay tuned!
We’re in high gear following the introduction of forScore 4, and today we’re proud to announce the immediate availability of version 4.1. This version fixes bugs and continues the streamlining process we began with 4.0, but also includes a few small refinements based on feedback we’ve received from our users.
We’ve reintroduced the “unknown genre” category, adding to it a new “unknown keywords” category as well. We’ve also made the “flip between scores” setting even more flexible, adding a “setlists” option that allows you to play through an entire setlist without returning to the menu while still preventing you from accidentally turning too far in other situations.
Version 4.1 is available now on the App Store, still just $4.99 (USD) for new customers and a free update for all existing users. There’s more to come soon, so stay tuned, and thanks for your incredible support!
We’re happy to announce the immediate availability of Beat Keeper 2.0, the first major update to our standalone metronome app for iPhone and iPod Touch. Version 2.0 adds a new fullscreen animation for improved visibility, and includes localization for Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. It has also been updated to use the latest iOS technologies, and has a dramatically smaller footprint.
Our other standalone app for the small screen, Pitch, Please!, will also be getting an update in the next few days: version 1.1 will also feature a much smaller footprint and will include louder piano samples.
Of course, the update that’s really stealing the spotlight is the newest version of forScore. Despite a few initial bugs that we’re working hard to resolve, the update has seen an incredible response and we couldn’t be more proud of it. We made a ton of changes, so if you notice any issues please let us know. We may never make a perfect app, but we’re always ready to tackle the issues that do sneak through. As always, we couldn’t do it without you—thank you!
Update: Pitch, Please! 1.1 is now available.
We’re happy to announce the immediate availability of forScore 4.0, a free update for all existing users and still the same great $4.99 (USD) for everyone else. This update touches every corner of the app and improves upon a great foundation by making features smarter, faster, and simpler. We’ve worked hard to make this the best version of forScore yet, and we’re sure you’ll love it. See all fifty new features and enhancements, and be sure to check out forScore 4.0 on the app store today.
