Works Great!

Downloaded MP3 files and thought I had a problem. Turns out the app plays just fine through a Bluetooth speaker. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t hear it in your phones speaker. Thanks for the app. Now to finish my build.

V3 additions

Great App so far although could do with updating to go with the now released V3 firmware and adjusting screen size so the app fits the larger iPhone screens.

Can’t get sounds on iPhone 11 to work

So I followed the directions for adding the sound files to the IPhone

But when I open the app and select a sound file nothing plays.
BABeekeeping is awesome

Doesn’t seem to be working on iPhone X
