The more characters entered in the search, the more refined the search will be. The dropdown list of titles can be scrolled through.

A large number of individual lists can be created and stored on the device.

Add non dance item to the list including step practice, figure practice for teachers and intermission, extras for program creation.

Display crib instructions, Keith Rose diagrams, videos and information/personal notes of each dance on the list. All but the videos will remain available even if your device is offline.

Retrieve a list by choosing "Display saved lists" from the dropdown menu. Tap on the list name you wish to access. Your lists will be saved automatically between sessions.

Delete a dance from a list by swiping the dance name right or left. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.

Reorder a list by pressing down on a dance name and sliding it either up or down the list.

Copy a dance from one list to another by tapping on the Copy icon to the left of the dance title on the list. You will be prompted to select the new list or create a new one.

On the other device, choose "Load list from another device" from the menu and point the camera at the QR code. The list will be loaded on the device (both devices must be on the same network).

Share a list with other users by uploading the list to 'sharing storage' (menu item "Save list to sharing storage" ,  The list will be assigned an id number.  Send another user the id number of the list and they can access it by using menu item 'Load list from sharing storage'.

### 2/5 — Update glitchy

*2025-10-23, version 5.0.0*

The latest update seems to have caused a glitch whereby the dances in a list reorder themselves randomly.

### 1/5 — Update not working

*2025-02-06, version 4.0.3*

This latest update does not work on my iPad now, blank screen, useless

### 4/5 — Latest update not working

*2024-11-27, version 4.0.3*

App does not work at all on my Iphone13 - black screen only. On my iPad 9th generation it works but no videos.

Very disappointed especially as we were beginning to become dependant on what had been a great app.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2024-11-18, version 4.0.0*

Used to love this app, used it for years and as recently as a few weeks ago. Opened it this evening to add a new dance and found search is non-functional. Updated app and no change, app is now totally useless.

### 5/5 — RSCDS fantastic

*2023-11-04*

The best app I have found to use for my RSCDS dancing.  Many thanks for your efforts!!

### 4/5 — Very useful app

*2023-03-24*

This app is a great resource, especially when at a dance evening or in class. However, it would be nice to be able to look up a dance without first having to add it to a list. From a UX/UI standpoint, a slightly darker blue would be appreciated in contrast to the white text.

### 4/5 — More Please!

*2023-02-15, version 2.0.3*

Thank you, a brilliant app. 
It works especially well on a phone. 
Quick, intuitive and very useful. Love the way that crib, Rose, and video is so easily accessible. 
The create pdf function is good, for sharing cribs with those who don’t have the app. Please could a way be devised to easily make the font that the pdf is printed in bigger? (Without cutting and pasting into word or something similar) 
Potentially a quicker way to generate cribs for dances and classes, especially with the video function - nice and quick. 
Sharing requires (I think)  either 2 devices, or a printed screenshot of the qr code. This makes the potential utility for classes/ dances less so, as quite a few people only have access to 1 device. Please could a way of sharing by email be devised that takes this into account?
Another idea would be the ability to play the music for a dance directly from the app. (Clearly a way of doing this so that legal rights and payments are respected would be needed) 
Thank you for such a useful app. 
Thank you

### 5/5 — Fandabidozy app for Scottish Country dancers

*2022-05-19, version 1.0.7*

What a great idea for preparing to attend a dance and for that wee reminder before hitting the dance floor. All the features work well with a quick link to relevant videos. Congratulations.

### 4/5 — Accessibility very good  for text 👍🏻  but diagrams?

*2022-02-13, version 1.0.5*

I love the clear large font, thank you for thinking of accessibility. 👍🏻😊
How can I get it to turn the diagrams to landscape like when you stretch a YouTube Video?   Please don't say to change phone settings because a phone that continually checks its orientation runs out of battery very quickly! 

Please will you arrange for the opening page to scroll? It doesn't fit in a small screen and I can't see how it ends; the suspense is unbearable 🙀

### 3/5 — Needs WIFI

*2021-08-25, version 1.0*

Having just downloaded this app I can see that it needs to be connected to WIFI in order to create a list of dance cribs.  It would be useful to have a choice to access cribs stored on the IPad.
The Pilling type diagrams are very large in comparison to the typed descriptions on an  IPad.
The initial information screen disappears before there is time to read it and there is no way of seeing it again without closing and reopening the app i.e. no help information.
Will probably be useful where a dance list can be created in advance.
