Screen stays on while playing songs, so hockey parents and rink DJs always have instant access to goal horns, music buttons and soundboard controls during the game.

v9.1: iOS 26 ready. Improved goal horn screens. Perfect for the 2025-26 youth hockey season — manage your rink playlist, sirens, and PA system from one app.

Updated code for iOS 26 compatibility. Improved Horns screen.

As suggested by some of you, I have added the possibility to equalize the sound per song. So now, if you have a song that is too loud or too low compared to the other songs of your playlist, you can memorize a multiplication factor from 0.1x to 3x that specific song volume, and this without having to change your main device volume each time.

Controls are now available on your AppleWatch! You can Stop and Start your selected song to be played conveniently from your Apple Watch. Swipe Left/Right on your watch to select the next or previous song on the iPhone period. Therefore if the action on the rink is changing rapidly and you do not have your phone in your hand ready to press the play or stop button, simply start or stop the currently selected song from your watch. There is a little delay in the action compared to actioning it directly from the phone. This is also the first release of Ice Hockey Parents' Playlist with the Watch feature. Therefore, if you see bugs or crashes, please let me know via direct messages, so that I can fix the eventual early bugs. Thanks

As requested by many of you, I have added help information to connect your phone to any rink's audio systems. I have also provided pointers to a complementary tool called RinkMix. I have update the "1 minute left in the game" announcement, reset any period screen to enable this new voice for this button.

Fix bug where, in some cases, a songs without a thumbnail could have crashed the application.

Improve main screen ergonomics.

Goal Announcements ! You have been asking for it, I has spent time implementing it :-). You can now announce goals and assists easily in the App. I have also corrected a bug on the horn button where you can now reset it to its default value if needed. I have also implemented the 1/10th of a second precision on the song start position. 7.6 version fixes a bug on the buttons setup screen related to missing songs thumbnails (thanks for those reporting the issue to my by email). If you see other bugs (which is still possible) feel free to contact me so that I can correct them :-) .

You can now swipe left/right to move from one period to next. I am also correct a bug/crash.

Add the possibility to record the team's name for penality announcements. Also corrected the display of Jackets thumbnails for some songs (need to reselect the song for the button affected).

I am reverting back part of the previous version without the Offline feature. You reported bugs on certain iTunes Subscriptions Cloud songs not playing correctly for downloaded songs. To avoid disruption for the next weekend game animation, I will be rolling back that feature in order to allow more time to understand why it didn't work for all. Please contact me directly if you still see bugs.

Now you have the possibility to use the phone in airplane mode, or when you do not have wifi coverage at the rink. If you correctly downloaded your iTunes Cloud Library music in advance this offline mode should work now. Also in this version the tutorial has been improved and playlist suggestions have been added in the parameter screen. With the new way of tuning each button individually or for an entire screen, this is a major version change. I hope that I haven't introduced too many bugs by the same mean, so if you experience crashes or bugs, please contact me directly and I will do my best to troubleshoot them.

Following your feedback about the not so user friendly setup start time for songs, I have revamped this task. Now you can edit and update single button when it is selected, or revert to an improve "update any button" screen. I have added the possibility to now enter the start time in second, or move through the song +/- 5sec. I have also added the "green" dot for each song that has already been played during the game. This will help you avoid playing in the same game multiple time the same song.

In version 6.0 Québécois announcements were introduced. In version 6.1 , the visual cue of which song is selected, and which songs have been played has been introduced. I have tested as much as I can this new code introduction, if you experience crashes, please contact me directly so I can fix them

Penalities Announcement are now also in Quebecois ! You can now select either english (US Pro announcer or my son's voice in English or French Quebecois).

Add the possibility to enable 10 or 20 extra screens, bringing the total screens of buttons to 48. This will provide, with all options enabled, 576 buttons to set your preferred music and their perfect start position.

Corrected some preset list of songs due to album name change.
