  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Added custom wood species support for acoustic context setup. • You can now choose “Other” and enter your own top, back, or sides wood species. • Wood selection is now clearer across project setup, measurements, Plate Lab, and Plate Bank. • Existing projects remain fully compatible with the new wood species system. • Improved context display for saved measurements and plate records.
