What's New in Vivace
1.0.26
August 21, 2026
iPad, properly • Vivace now uses a sidebar on iPad instead of the iPhone's two tabs, so your library, For You, Favourites, Manage Library and Settings are all one tap away. • Text and controls no longer stretch the full width of a large screen, so the layout stays comfortable to read. Your music, your folders • Choose how Vivace adds your music. When you add a folder or files, Vivace now asks whether to copy them in or play them where they are. Playing in place uses no extra storage; a copy keeps playing even if the original folder goes away. • Change your mind as often as you like. Any source can be switched between using your original files and keeping a copy inside Vivace — individually added songs too. • Songs Vivace can no longer find can be pointed back at their folder instead of only deleted. Playback reliability • Music is steadier. If starting a track ever failed silently, Vivace could show "playing" with no sound at all. More of those failures are now caught, and Vivace recovers instead of sitting there. • Skipping is more honest. If a track cannot be opened, Next no longer looks like it did nothing while the queue quietly moved on. • Editing the queue while paused now does what you expect. "Play Next", removing from Up Next and turning on shuffle no longer play the wrong song next. • The visualiser no longer goes flat after your audio device changes. Wording, VoiceOver and privacy • The delete confirmations no longer quote a button that is not on screen — in every language. • VoiceOver improvements: the A–Z index is now a proper adjustable control, the playback position is spoken in your own language, and two upgrade buttons that were silent now announce themselves. • An advertising library Vivace no longer uses has been removed from the app entirely.
