Standard Tags puts the entire BarbershopTags.com catalog in your pocket and keeps it there, signal or no signal. On first launch it downloads a complete local copy of the database. It's under 10 MB. From then on every search runs on your own device, instantly. The app only reaches the internet to fetch sheet music or a learning track you haven't opened before, and once you've viewed a tag its sheet music is cached for good. Rehearsal in a church basement, a hotel ballroom with four bars of signal, an afterglow in a parking lot; the app does not care. SEARCH AND SING • Full-catalog search that works with no connection • Filter by tag type and number of parts; sort by popularity, rating, newest, or relevance • Sheet music, learning tracks, and videos for the tags that have them • A real pitch pipe built in; hold to sound the key, swipe to change it, swipe sideways for sharps and flats • Tags with no written key show an estimated key, and you can swipe to the right one and submit a correction for the community • Rate tags and sort by your own ratings ORGANIZE YOUR REPERTOIRE • Star the tags you keep coming back to • Build unlimited lists; convention prep, chapter favorites, quartet repertoire, the four you can actually ring at midnight • Pin the lists you use most for one-tap access • Publish a list for every Standard Tags user to find, and save other people's lists for offline use SHARE A TAG ANYWHERE • Send a tag file that opens straight to the tag with the sheet music already attached, no database round trip, no waiting • Share a link that opens directly in the app, or show a QR code for someone to scan • If they don't have Standard Tags, the link takes them to BarbershopTags.com or their app store instead SING TOGETHER • Tag Circles: start a circle, share the code, and everyone's app follows the same queue and the same active tag in real time. Decide whether only the host or the whole circle can change tags. Pool everyone's favorites into one shared list to find what the group already knows. • Tag Roulette: a real-time multiplayer game. The host picks the pool, players join with a four-letter code, and everyone lands on the same random tag at the same moment. Vote to finish or skip, set a timer for speed rounds, and let the app assign each singer a part. FOLLOW AND KEEP SCORE • Follow arrangers and get a notification when they post something new • 82 achievements across 11 series, from your first tag to the genuinely obscure • Personal stats: what you've viewed, played, shared and rated • A Year in Review recap of your singing year FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION Standard Tags is free, and an account is optional. Search, lists, sheet music, the pitch pipe and sharing all work without one. The optional subscription adds cloud backup and sync across your devices, so a lost or replaced phone never means starting over, plus a high-speed sheet music mirror that takes over automatically when BarbershopTags.com is slow to answer. It is priced to cover server costs. Publishing a list publicly is a separate one-time purchase that keeps the public collection curated. Available in English, Spanish, German and Swedish. Built for barbershoppers: quartets, choruses, woodshedders, and anyone who has ever stopped a conversation to ring a chord.
