What’s new
Version 1.0.2 · Updated September 10, 2026
This update reworks the purchase, restore and audio behaviour from end to end. • Your purchase is now restored AUTOMATICALLY when the app starts. Change your phone, or delete and reinstall the app, and you no longer need to press anything: if a purchase is found, everything unlocks quietly. • If another app starts playing audio while the metronome is running, the metronome now stops. Previously its sound was cut while the cursor kept moving. • Fixed the sound drifting behind the cursor when playback started after another app had been using audio; the cursor is now locked to the real position of the sound. • The "Restore" button no longer stays silent: it now says clearly whether a purchase was found and unlocked, or whether no purchase exists on this account. • Cancellations, errors and "awaiting approval" states are now reported during purchase. • When the store cannot be reached (for example in airplane mode), a message and a "Try again" button appear, and a failed purchase now asks you to check your connection. • Fixed a freeze when switching sounds repeatedly in quick succession. • Usul signatures (such as 124/4) are no longer clipped at large text sizes. • Notation and info screens now offer "Try again" if loading fails. • Fixed the app failing to open when saved settings were corrupted. • Corrected translation errors in 11 languages; usul descriptions were revised.
