Original release notes
New in 4.1.0: • Explore: a new “Practice this scale” button under the fretboard opens practice with the exact key, tuning, capo and position you were viewing. On iPhone, the chords in key fold away so the fretboard stays large, and today’s scale suggestion sits right under the practice button. • Learn: the Learn tab now opens on the lesson you can do today, the daily ear-training question has its own screen, and free lessons say plainly when they are free and when rereading them needs Pro or Max. • Plans: subscribe to Max in one tap with the monthly or yearly plan already chosen, see exactly what Pro and Max include, and get clear feedback while a purchase is pending, being confirmed or restored. • Practice time is recorded only while you actually play, so your streaks and history reflect real practice. • Fewer interruptions: at most one prompt a day, no upgrade notification during your first week, and plans are introduced with a small dismissible tip after you have used the app. • Improved stability when leaving lessons and practice screens.
