Apple retail stores recently updated their window displays, which now feature forScore prominently amongst a number of other iPad apps in a mobile-like setup for their 300+ stores worldwide. Our app is featured twice, actually, and we couldn’t resist stopping by our local store to snap this shot:
Special thanks to reader Matthew for sending us the tip!
We’re very proud to announce forScore version 2.4, which brings several new enhancements and some important fixes. It’s available immediately for just $4.99, or absolutely free for existing users. Here’s a look at a few of the changes in this version:
With the 2.3 series of updates, we focused heavily on performance optimizations, and sadly some of these changes had unforeseen consequences. One casualty was the video output feature, so with the 2.4 update we took the opportunity to not just patch it up, but to complete rewrite it from scratch. All of the features and options are exactly the same as before, but the output is now a true mirror of the iPad’s screen, rather than just a particular view. More importantly, it’s far more stable than before, and we apologize for any inconvenience this process may have caused.
Version 2.4 includes a few other notable additions, such as custom signature support. Add a PNG image to forScore via iTunes file sharing (use 360×45 pixels for best results), and the image will be used for the composer by the same name. A signature file for “John Doe” would be named “John Doe.png”, for instance. We’ve added a PSD template to our extras page to give you a better idea of exactly how your signature image will look in forScore. You can also read more about this feature here. [Updated March 2018: custom signatures are no longer supported by forScore.]
This version also implements several ideas based directly on feedback from our users, so thank you all for your continued participation and support.
Hot on the heels of our 2.3.1 update, we’re happy (and a bit surprised!) to announce the immediate availability of forScore 2.3.2. This update addresses some minor issues introduced in version 2.3.1, as well as the following:
• Resolves an issue with the bookmarks menu for larger files
• Faster score deletions
• Improved new file detection
Updates have typically taken upwards of a week to go through Apple’s approval process, so we’re delighted to see this timeframe improving and hope that it is indicative of future updates, since ultimately we believe that a greater ability to respond to unexpected issues benefits our customers.
Also, AirTurn has now resumed shipments of the BT-105, and our promotion will be continuing into the new year, so don’t forget to check out our promo page or pass it along to a friend!
Version 2.3.1 is now live, and includes the following changes:
• Bookmark page numbers can now be changed at any time
• Bookmarks are now saved with an explicit “save” button
• Improved bookmark creator validation
• Link view now defaults to the current page for both source and destination
• Performance optimizations
• Minor interface changes
• Bug fixes
forScore 2.3.1 is just $4.99, or free for existing users. Get it here.
The holiday season is upon us, which means that Apple’s approval process will soon be shut down temporarily. We had hoped to see our 2.3 update go live before this period begins, but the approval process can be sporadic and it appears as though it may end up being delayed until near the end of the month.
We’ll also be shutting down this holiday season, so while we will still be answering messages sent to us via the support page, there may be an uncharacteristic delay in our response time. We’ve released 20 updates since April, so it’s time for a break! We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers, and please know that all of your queries will be answered.
Finally, we’ve just learned that the AirTurn BT-105’s ship date has been pushed back again to December 30th. We’re thrilled to see such strong demand for this accessory, and we’ll bring you any further updates from AirTurn as soon as we get them.
Happy holidays, everyone!
Edit: We’re happy to be wrong, forScore 2.3 is available now!
