Now you can see artist names in their original form, instead of all-caps. Just go to settings if you don't want all-caps.
Thanks to Michael Weinmayr for suggesting this feature via Twitter!
Also fixed a bug with searching: quotes and apostrophes were not correctly handled.

Allow the user to choose which email client they'd like to use when submitting feedback - required because the app was crashing when Apple Mail was the only option and the user didn't have a mail account configured.
Make the text in the search box visible - was black.

Support for iPhone X - sorry for the long delay.
Please note that iOS 11.3 will fix the lag issue when the Now Playing screen is displayed.
4.2.0
2017-07-27
You can now view lyrics for any song that has lyrics - either ones you've added manually via iTunes or where it's added automatically by Apple. This may mean you don't see any lyrics but just add them in iTunes and sync your iPhone with iTunes.
This feature was requested by one of my users, John Landry. If there's a feature you'd like to see in Harken, please contact me via the Settings screen in Harken.

Bumper update: View your library by Composers, and sort by play date.
For the classical music lovers, you can now choose to view a list of composers with songs grouped by album by those composers.
If you want to play something you haven't listened to in ages, or want to focus on your current favourites, sort by recently played. Albums are also now sorted when you're viewing your library by Artist and Genre.
The last couple of features have been at the request of owners of Harken For iPhone. If you'd like to see a particular feature go to Settings to send feedback. I'd love to hear from you. :)
4.0.3
2017-06-04
When creating an Instant Playlist, you can now shuffle it. If you add multiple albums to the playlist, and have shuffling set to "Albums", Harken will play the albums in random order. You can still just play all the items in order if you press the play button.
I'm also working on saving the playlists so you can access them later.
4.0.2
2017-05-19
Rediscover your music collection with the completely redesigned and rewritten Harken for iPhone 4. You can now create playlists from all media types, sort your library to find music you haven't listened to in ages or by rating, choose from dark or light themes, full-screen or small cover art, and even use your favourite font to make Harken *your* music player. You can also play iTunes Match items, or hide them via the app's settings.
In v4.0.2 I've fixed a bug: music would be shuffled when you tapped on an album and had the shuffle setting set to "songs". Music should only be shuffled when you press a shuffle button.

In v4.0.1 I've added the ability for you to manually reload your library, and to provide feedback.

Big overhaul this time. Along with a more modern design, there are the following changes:

- create a playlist via the library menu screen
- adjust the volume from within the app
- shuffle and repeat are more accessible
- toggle the backlight timer (when on/highlighted the screen will stay on)
