New: a practice streak on the Rehearsal tab tracks how many days in a row you rehearse, alongside your best streak and sessions this week — plus an optional weekly reminder to keep your delivery sharp. Practice is a habit; now the app rewards it.

Reliability update for live shows and rehearsals. - Apple Watch: resetting now asks for a confirming second tap, so a brushed wrist can't end your event. Bigger buttons and full VoiceOver support. - Rehearsal Mode now works offline: transcription falls back to on-device speech recognition. - Clear error messages in Rehearsal Mode, with a Try Again option that keeps your recording. - Your rehearsal history is now protected against data loss across app updates. - Deleting rehearsals, rundowns, and recordings asks for confirmation first. - Timer notifications, the Lock Screen timer, and permission prompts are now translated into all 9 supported languages. - Smoother performance and many stability fixes under the hood.

New: Event Mode (Run of Show). - Build a rundown of named segments (Opening, Keynote, Q&A...), each with its own duration, color thresholds, and cues. - Start the event and the timer auto-advances segment to segment with a distinct handoff cue - run a whole meeting or show from one screen. - Manual-advance mode (tap to move on), skip, pause, and an end-of-event summary. - Starter rundowns for a Toastmasters meeting and a conference talk. - The current segment shows on the iPad external display, Apple Watch, and Lock Screen.

What's new: - Template packs: start instantly from presets built for real situations - Toastmasters speeches, a TED-style 18-minute talk, sermons, panel answers, and webinars. - Delivery Score: a 0-100 score after each rehearsal from your speaking pace, filler-word rate, and timing. - Custom filler words: track your own words, in any language. - The subscribe screen now reflects the whole app, including the speech-coaching tools. - Fixes and polish.

This update includes small refinements to keep OnStage Timer Pro running smoothly, and makes it a little easier to share your feedback. Thank you for using the app!

New in this update: - Ready-to-use timer templates: Toastmasters, TED-style, sermon, panel, webinar, lightning talk - Rehearsal Delivery Score with progress trends - Landscape Podium mode: phone flat, big countdown, no clutter - Custom filler words for your rehearsals - Performance improvements

This update adds full localization in 9 languages, clearer VoiceOver accessibility for the timer color stages, privacy manifests, more resilient preset saving, and general stability and performance improvements.

Reliability + clarity fixes: * Purchasing OnStage Timer Pro from Settings now updates the app immediately - no more lingering paywall after a successful purchase * The trial duration shown on the subscribe screen is now read directly from the App Store, so it stays accurate if the offer changes * Smoother scrolling on long Rehearsal session histories * Fixed a layout glitch on the Rehearsal Results screen on iOS 17+ * Internal security hardening of the developer unlock used during App Review

Major v1.6 update — what we fixed: - AUDIO CUES NOW PLAY ON SILENT MODE. The big one. Cue beeps now route through the audio session instead of system sounds, so they fire even when your phone is on silent (a near-universal scenario at a podium). - Live Activity ring on the Lock Screen / Dynamic Island now updates smoothly throughout the timer, not just on stage changes. - Phone call interruption no longer kills cue audio for the rest of your session. - Apple Watch app now uses WKExtendedRuntimeSession instead of HealthKit (no more "why does this need health data?" prompt). - 9 languages: Chinese, German, Italian, Russian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, English. - Settings now has Rate App, Write a Review, Help & FAQ, Privacy, and Terms links. - Localized speech recognition for non-English rehearsals. - Many under-the-hood stability improvements for Swift 6 strict concurrency.
