Finally: Fakebook Playlists!

OK, I know it is late and that this feature should have been finalized a long time ago. However, none of the previous implementation attempts have felt quite right - adding, reordering and switching between playlists never felt natural. I'd like to keep Fakebook simple and intuitive, and the way to do that was stay true to the Android way of handling playlists, e.g. as implemented in the Music Play app and others.

But a lot of users also told me they have missed the browse and filter dialog which I removed (and replaced by the search bar) some months ago. Adding playlist management, all-songs browsing and filtering to the same view seemed like the way to go.

So, finally, here it is: The Fakebook app 1.0.0. Including browsing, song filtering and a great playlist manager. Still keeping the new search bar in the main view, for quick and easy access to all songs. The app is available now at Google Play and soon at Amazon.

 

Please try it out and let me know what you think. Any ideas for further improvements are appreciated, as are bug reports. This is version 1.0.0 after all...

A Merrier Christmas with a new Fakebook Pro

Just in time for Christmas, there is now a new release of the Fakebook Pro music reader app available on Google Play and Amazon : Double tap screen to go to the next song (a single tap still moves to next or previous page). New control to make photo or PDF black & white and increase contrast. Perfect when using the mobile or tablet camera to scan paper music! Metronome tempo now shown in list and music header. New symbols on chord keyboard. Plus, a few important bug fixes for key/pedal mapping and annotations on some devices. Available now! Merry Christmas!

Finally! Started to write a Fakebook Pro Manual...

OK, I know this should have been done a long time ago. But, as most developers, I tend to avoid writing user manuals and other documentation. ("The software is sooo easy to use anyway", "That feature is self-explanatory, isn't it?") Well, now I have at least started. If you want to have a sneak preview on a very early alpha version (there are a lot of empty sections at the end...), please have a look here:  Fakebook Pro Manual 3.3 alpha

Check out the new Stomp pedal with Fakebook Pro

As a gigging musician your hands should be focused on playing music. Not turning pages. While your Fakebook Pro app made it easier to carry your charts and lyrics, you still have to take your hands off of your instrument to change pages. Unless you get a wireless pedal, of course. The Stomp pedal is a rugged, durable, and reliable app controller, making it the obvious choice for professionals and hobbyists alike. Stomp is housed in a solid metal enclosure, rugged enough to be run over by a truck, so it will handle any gig, night after night. Just throw it in your bag or attach it to your pedalboard and go off to the next gig. Stomp uses Bluetooth 4.0 and is tested compatible with the Fakebook Pro app. Check it out at https://codamusictech.com/products/bluetooth-page-turner-music-pedal-for-tablets  .
