Fun, fun, fun! We’ve gamified Erol Singer’s Studio and made it more motivating than ever!

- Training guidance via locking of sections until you score at least 3 stars in all preceding sections (see Settings to disable).
Stay tuned; more amazing updates are on the way! If you’d like to see even more updates, recommend on social media and in online forums so we can continue to invest our time into this app, which is a constant challenge due to its extremely low visibility on the App Store. By letting others know about the app, you will also help us keep the price down for you.
Happy singing.

- Bluetooth support: 1) Sped up lesson start time when using Bluetooth devices; 2) Prevented automatic range detection from stopping immediately with some Bluetooth devices; 3) Removed the Bluetooth warning, as the app now works well with Bluetooth headsets too (especially with Apple AirPods). For the best voice training experience, we still recommend wired earphones though.
- Several small improvements for a smooth experience.
