Devs pls read - Fall from grace
You are now no longer able to lock the screen in landscape mode, so players are constantly having to hold still or adjust their hands to fix the music. This is extremely inconvenient for musicians trying to move to the music and be energetic. This was possible with the last version, and now that it’s gone, the app is much harder to use.
Additionally, it will often glitch, moving your music and scrolling it without you touching the screen. This can mess you up pretty badly while trying to play along.
If you had asked me a year ago, I would’ve strongly recommended this app! But now, they’ve ruined it with an update that never needed to be made. AVOID THIS APP AT ALL COSTS!!
Response from developer
Thank you for the detailed feedback, and for sticking with FlipFolder through your pep band performances. I'm sorry to hear that you've had so many issues. There are a couple of quick things that should get you back to where you were. - Landscape lock: This is still fully supported, and it didn't go away in the update. You'll find it as an in-app orientation lock under the tools menu (rather than relying on the device's system-level rotation lock), so if it's not immediately obvious where that setting lives, please refer to support documentation. - Glitching/auto-scrolling: This was a real bug in the update and should be resolved in the newest version (4.5.0). If you update and are still seeing it, please let us know. We'd genuinely appreciate the chance to help you sort this out and earn back that "strongly recommend". Feel free to reach out to support@flipfolderapp.com directly, and thank you again for the thorough writeup.
terribly glitchy
Response from developer
Sorry you experienced issues with the app. Could you email support@flipfolderapp.com with a bit more detail? Specifically: your device model and OS version, whether it's happening with both drill formations and sheet music or just one, and what the glitching actually looks like (freezing, crashing, slow to load, visual artifacts, etc.). That'll help us narrow down what's going on.
The most glitchy app ever
Response from developer
Sorry you and others at the conference ran into this. That's clearly not the experience we want for a downloaded, offline session. The random page jumps, slow page turns, and crashing on resize are specific enough that we'd like to dig in. Could you email support@flipfolderapp.com with the phone and iPad models (including OS version) and what conference you were attending? If you know of others at the conference willing to share their device details too, that would help us spot patterns faster.
Dev please read

Thanks for the feedback! The metronome didn't make the cut in our latest upgrade, but it's on our backlog and we know it's wanted.
horrible
Response from developer
Sorry to hear it's been rough for your band. We'd like to fix this, but we need specifics. Can you email support@flipfolderapp.com with what's gone wrong for you? Happy to look into it.
