Looks like I may have figured out enough tricks to manage most of the iOS limitations and allow the Walkout Song DJ app to use songs from an Apple Music subscription.  Still can't access the raw audio samples so gain control and equalizer cannot be applied, but everything else seems to be working.

Since lack of support for Apple Music subscription songs is the biggest source of 1 star ratings and negative reviews, it seems like the time is now to accept some limitations and allow the support even if it is not quite at the experience level of purchased songs and let the user make that choice.

I plan on starting a beta with the Apple Music support this week.  If you are interested in participating in the beta, please message me here or on the support forum with your email address.

New features and changes for 2.3.5 include:

- Rewrite of team management and interfaces
- Correctly announce players that do not have numbers
- Improved error message for song files not found opposed to unplayable formats
- Correct button states when deleting last item on any page
- Fix section header alignment of walkout page after import
- Enable name capitalization on Players and Situation entry   

Just wanted to alert users to another option for importing song files that is available with iOS 11. 

There is a new files app in iOS that will show cloud sources for files.  If you put song files in mp3 or m4a format on those cloud drives, you can tap and share them with Walkout Song DJ.

Beta version 2.3.4 for iOS is in review at the app store. The big feature change is a rewrite of the team management to make it much more user friendly. If you would to participate in the iOS beta, send me a pm here or on the support forum with your email address.

First production release of Android version is now available:

Still might be a few beta type issues, but should be generally stable and all issues reported will be resolved with priority.

Open beta of the first Android version of Walkout Song DJ is now on the Google Play Store. Might still be a little rough around the edges, but should do the job for you. Use the following the opt-in link to join the beta and you can send feedback to me here.

After nearly a year of work, the first alpha version of Walkout Song DJ for Android is ready for those who would like to help test it or are a desperate to use the app on the Android platform.  The only functionality not complete is the pregame playlist tab and import/export of the app config.  I was able to very closely recreate all the functionality of the most current version of the iOS version and even improved on the team selection functions.

If you are interested in participating in the alpha test, send me a message here or on the app facebook page and I will add you to the distribution list.

There is a bug in the version 2.3.2 release from yesterday that prevents the user from granting permission for the app to access the iTunes library.

A fix has been submitted to Apple this morning and should be available shortly. The bug will not affect existing users upgrading to version 2.3.2 if permission for the app to access the iTunes library has already been granted. If you are affected by the bug and would like quicker resolution, please send a private message with your email address and I will add you to the beta list which should be slightly faster than waiting for Apple to review the general release.

New version 2.3.2 of the app is ready for beta test. If you have the app and are interesting in trying out the new version before everyone else gets it, please send me your email address and i will set that up for you.

- Added link to support forum from configuration menu
- Added notification and link to settings if permission to access iTunes library has not been granted.

Did you know?

With the latest version of Walkout Song DJ, you can use professional voice announcements for your players! Do a screen shot of your team roster from the Walkout Song page and send it Casey Motter at https://www.facebook.com/allstarintros/. Casey is the stadium announcer for the Atlanta Braves. For a pretty reasonable price, he will record announcements for each of your players and send an email back to you with all the announcement files. Simply open Casey's email on your device, long tap each announcement file and select 'Copy to Walkout Songs' and the announcement will be available to select for your player from the announcement picker.
