Month: December 2012

Apple was a bit faster than expected and the new update for PGSongBook was reviewed and published yesterday.

Here is the full list of new features:

+ New chord charts system:
            Preinstalled chords database
            Add your own chords
+ Simple functions for converting PDF, Docx, Doc and Pages to ChordPro
           (but please don’t expect too much, especially DOC is a really complex format)
+ Notes system 
            For songs and playlist entries
+ Optical improvements
           New icon
           Tried to optically polish the whole app
+ Link MP3 file with a song
+ New AutoScroll tag allows setting different AS speeds for parts of a song
+ Swipe to get to next song of playlist
            With page-turning animation
+ Fully compatible with the iPhone 5
+ Change settings from inside the app
+ Batch import

+ Plenty of small improvements, e.g.
             Search in the most important lists
             Edit PDF/Doc/Docx/Pages in external app
             Double-tap screen to toggle full screen
             Tapping the screen while AS bar is visible toggles AS
             Song titles are centered now
+ New settings, e.g.
             Scale PDFs to fit
             Start MP3 and AS with one button
             Jump to next song of playlist after scrolled to bottom or MP3 ended
+ Tons of bug fixes
+ Help can now be updated without updating the app
+ Dropped support for iOS 4 

I’ve created videos showing some of the new features of PerfectGuitarSongBook 1.4, three of which I’d like to present in this post.

The new chord charts system
As you could already see on a screenshot, the new update of PGSongBook comes with a preinstalled chord database than can even be extended by you.
