- Recordings now start playing immediately when you tap play; no more delay before the audio begins. - After stopping a recording, input is not automatically placed in the name field.

FAQ
How does Song Bits organize my recordings?
Song Bits allows you to organize your song ideas into folders. Any recordings that are not assigned to a specific folder are automatically placed in an 'unfiled' folder, preventing them from getting lost.
Can I hear my song ideas on other devices with Song Bits?
Yes, Song Bits uses iCloud Drive to store your audio files as plain .m4a files. This means you can access and add to your recordings from your MacBook or iPad as well.
