What's New in Piano Guide
1.0.4
August 28, 2026
Accessibility: screens now scroll properly for users with larger iOS text sizes, so content is never cut off. Settings, renamed for clarity: playback speed settings are now described in musician-friendly terms (e.g. Min/Max Notes per Minute instead of raw millisecond values), and every setting is now adjusted with a slider instead of typing numbers. New Practice screen: tapping a song now opens a dedicated screen showing that song's total length and lets you pick exactly which section to practice, with suggested starting points to try, and quick access to Settings right from that screen. Cleaner Settings screen: removed a technical preview panel that wasn't needed by most users. More reliable Stop/Play: fixed an issue where pressing Stop could occasionally restart the song instead of stopping it. Bluetooth handling: if the connection to your Piano Guide hardware drops unexpectedly, the app now automatically returns to the connect screen instead of getting stuck; closing the app fully also releases the connection so another family member's device can connect right away. General reliability improvements to the hardware connection and song download experience.
