What’s New

Version 3.4.1

This release includes a few minor fixes and improvements:

- The iPad Edit Measure screen replaces the "Notation" dropdown to select Notation, Sticking, or Voicing with a single-tap selection at the top of the screen. This makes the editing more discoverable and accessible!
- Fixed some more issues with download links to make them even more reliable! Thanks to Michael for pointing out the other cases that weren't working as expected!
- Increased the stability of the app when experiencing audio interruptions (phone calls, alarms, timers, etc), compatibility with other apps that use audio (Spotify, YouTube, web browsers, etc), and when changing audio outputs (speaker, plugged in headphones, BlueTooth devices, etc).
- Various additional under-the-hood technical and performance improvements.

Remember to check out the Beat Note roadmap under the Settings screen to learn about upcoming features and vote on user-requested ones.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Beat Note! I regularly update the app, and besides the above, this update also contains additional bug fixes and stability improvements. If you have any feedback, questions, or issues, please message me from Settings → Contact Support. I'd love to hear from you!

Très bonne appli.

Appli simple et efficace. Il manque seulement, à mon avis, la possibilité de gérer les volumes des différents instruments. Bravo !

Developer Response ,

Merci beaucoup pour votre excellente critique ! Je suis ravi d'apprendre que vous trouvez l'application simple et efficace. Votre soutien et vos commentaires sont très appréciés.

Je prends note de votre suggestion concernant la possibilité de gérer les volumes des différents instruments. C'est une fonctionnalité que je suis en train de considérer sérieusement et qui est déjà sur ma liste de développement. Vous seriez ravi de savoir que vous pouvez voter pour cette fonctionnalité sur la feuille de route de Beat Note, accessible depuis l'application sous Paramètres > Feuille de route des fonctionnalités. Votre vote aidera à orienter mes efforts de développement et à répondre aux besoins de notre communauté, à moins que vous ne soyez déjà la personne ayant créé cette demande de fonctionnalité !

Encore une fois, merci pour votre soutien et vos encouragements. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez d'autres idées ou suggestions. Je suis là pour vous aider et je suis impatient de continuer à améliorer Beat Note selon vos besoins et vos préférences.

Bien cordialement,
Derek

The app I was waiting for so long

Downloaded 10 minutes ago, already understood all the features, so simple and efficient to take quick notes for rehearsal, listen to them to check it matches, take notes of complete songs grids, etc. Hope this app will be stable in time. If so it's a must have app for gigging drummers with bad memory like me, Bravo!

Developer Response ,

Apple typically sends me a push notification when I receive new reviews, and I'm always excited to read them! I'm glad to hear your first impression of the app matches one of my primary goals of making the app intuitive and easy to use. I'm also curious to learn more about why you mentioned app stability. If for stability you are referring to bugs, please know that besides manually testing new features, I have an automated suite of hundreds of tests I run, as well as a small group of beta testers who help guarantee stability before releasing any new version of the app to do my best to ensure a bug-free release. That said, I am only human and a one-person team, so given the high frequency of updates, bugs can and will sneak in unexpectedly. When notified of a bug, I do my best to squash it as quickly as possible and eliminate the possibility of future regressions with additional automated tests. If, for stability, you are referring to the frequency of updates, you can take a look at the version history either on the App Store or on the Beat Note roadmap to see how often I am updating the app with new features, enhancements to existing features, and bug fixes. I'd also like to invite you to participate in the community roadmap to vote for the most exciting features and request any that haven't been asked for yet. (The roadmap is accessible from the Settings and any informational (i) menu in the app if you haven't already found it.) I also make it super easy to contact me by emailing or setting up a 1:1 meeting. I'm always happy to hear from you and learn how to improve the app. Given this feedback focuses on your first impression, I'd like to kindly ask you to follow up with me in the future (maybe one, three, and/or six months later?) to let me know how you think I'm tracking on the following goals: #1. Is it still intuitive and easy to use even with new features and functionality? #2. Given recent updates, does Beat Note's value exceed the price? Thanks again for sharing your feedback, increasing my motivation to continue improving Beat Note, and helping me make it the best app it can be! -Derek
