The app fills the whole screen instead of sitting in a phone-sized column, and the layout follows any window width — including Split View. Lists move to two columns, the Circle-Keyboard is noticeably larger, and forms stay comfortable to read. ### 1.0.11 — 2026-08-16 Guided tour A short walkthrough now shows what each part of the screen does, so your first session makes sense from the start. 12 languages The app is available in English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil) and Ukrainian. You can change the language any time in Settings. Cooler, lighter on battery A round of performance work. The sound engine is no longer rebuilt every time you add a note, audio now sleeps while the app is in the background, and screens sitting idle do no work at all. Long sessions should keep your device noticeably cooler. Fixes • Repeats: the score no longer showed the wrong bars while playback repeated a section. • Tuner: now uses about half the processing power it did before. ### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-10 • The erase button in the note editor now clears notes and rests one after another — hold it to wipe a whole passage, and undo it in a single step. • Song credits are charged the same way in the app as on the web: you pay when chords are placed into bars, and refining them in the same session stays free. ### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-08 Fixed: sign in with Google. Tapping "Continue with Google" could close the app instead of opening the Google sign-in screen. It now works as expected. Also in this update: layout fixes on the larger iPhone screens and smoother animations in the practice circle. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
