Play ‘n’ Practice is a music instrument journal to manage your repertoire and track your music instrument practice.
While offering all required information about the current practice session, Play ‘n’ Practice has been designed for a non-intrusive user experience during your instrument practice.
The management of even complex repertoires is supported by offering several criteria for grouping work by playlists, genre, level and status.
Structured workouts aims to raise the effectiveness of even the shortest practice session by automatically selecting pieces you didn’t play for a long time, scales and arpeggios, individual playlists and more. Finally the diary and statistics supports reviewing your progress, tracking your practice and experience and continuously improving your skills.

Fixed some issues with the PDF sheet viewer
Fixed app stuck on loading when annotating PDF sheets
Just bought pro version but app keeps crashing and interrupting logging. Also didn’t save a bunch of items I selected to add to repertoire. Crashed and lost all my selections. Don’t mind the user interface but the frequent crashing is a serious issue.

Could you pls. provide me a more detailed error description on what you did right before the app was crashing. I'll be happy to provide a fix as soon as possible. You could send the description to info@playnpractice.com.
