**Bug Fix** : LineSync disconnects prevented some users from having fully sync'd lines. This has been repaired. Special thanks to "Joel" for reporting this bug!!
*New Feature*: Line Sync users can now force an entire show "Re-Sync" by navigating to the "Works" tab, and then long pressing on the show you wish to re-sync. This will pull the entire show back down from the cloud and onto your phone. Please be aware this may take a significant amount of time if the show is fairly large!

**Bug Fix** : When subscribing to LineSync, periodically the enable switch would not appear in the LineSync invite list. This has been fixed. Thank you to user "Natalie" for finding this one for me!

4.0.6
2016-10-08
***New Features for Rehearsal Settings***: Rehearsal settings have been moved to a separate pop up screen and are now "Sticky". You can set them once, and they will remain the way you set them from session to session.
*New Feature: Scene Repeat*: You can now decide if you would like the Autoplay to repeat the scene or not. This is on by default
*New Feature: PlayBack Speed*: You can now adjust the play back speed of your cast mates' lines to get your cues faster! Normal speed = 1.0, Double Speed = 2.0, Half Speed = .5. (This setting will not affect the speed of lines for the character that you are playing)
Please view the new Rehearsal Settings Video in the Help Section for further explanation of these settings, and as always, feel free to contact me with questions/comments/suggestions!
4.0.5
2016-09-21
New Feature: Due to the great amount of feedback I received on removing the manual control during the rehearse process, it is now back in the app! There is a new setting in the "Help" section called "Auto Play on Rehearse". It is on by default. When this setting is on, the scene will play through during rehearsal and then repeat. If you do not want this behavior, go into the "Help" section and turn off "Auto Play on Rehearse". When you play the scene you will only hear the current line and will have to manually forward to the next line when you are ready.
Thanks for the feedback!
New Feature: Layout Updates for iPhone 4
BugFix: LineSync Bandwidth Reduction
4.0.4
2016-09-16
New Feature: "Pause Before My Line" added to Rehearse screen.
A new feature has been added which will give you the opportunity to say your line in a pause, and then hear it repeated for you immediately after. The pause will last exactly as long as the recorded line, so you can preserve your cadence! Thank you to user Alana for suggesting this feature!
"Play Through Scene" and "Repeat All" have been removed as I felt they were redundant. Now, the Rehearse screen will automatically play through the entire scene, and then repeat it once you get to the end.
"Repeat Line" will repeat the selected line until the stop button is pressed.
Bug Fix: LineSync bandwidth usage greatly reduced
4.0.3
2016-09-12
BugFix: After applying the latest iOS update, some phones experienced data corruption in OffBook which would cause the app to fail on launch. This has been fixed. Deepest apologies to any of you who may have lost any work.

Welcome to OffBook! 4.0!
New Feature: LineSync! Available through in-app purchase, you can now share your recorded lines with other members of your cast!
New Feature: Line Insert - On the line listing for a scene, simply tap on the purple "plus" sign to insert a line immediately after the line you clicked!
New Feature: Continuous Record - For legacy users - this will keep you on the record screen after line save, and not pop you back to the listing. It will mean for speedier recording sessions.
As always, please watch the in-app tutorial videos, and send me your questions, comments, and suggestions!

Feature: Scene Reordering has been added to version 3.0 interface rebuild! Simply long press on a scene and drag to a new position to set the order (just the same as line reordering). A special thank you to user Mikaella for writing me to tell me that this feature from v.2.0 was overlooked during the interface revamp. Thank you, Mikaella!

2016-05-31
New Feature: Version 3.0 is here! Completely revamped interface flow! It is now much easier and more straightforward to create Works, Scenes, Characters, and Record Lines! I have added a new video explaining how the new flow works, so please give it a look! If you are super courageous, please feel free to go right ahead and dive in!
In Short: After creating a WORK, tap the button to "Edit Cast of Characters". This will bring you to a screen where you type in all of the cast members in the WORK. After that click done, and then onto "Edit Scenes". You then add all of the SCENES in the WORK. When you are done, tap on a SCENE and you will see a list of the entire CAST. Simply check off which cast members are in that SCENE, and you are good to go! Repeat for the rest of the SCENES. This will save you from having to retype character names over and over as before.
Please note: To begin recording Lines, you must have already created a WORK, added at least one CAST member, created at least one SCENE, and added at least one CAST member to that SCENE. Otherwise, the "Lines" tab will not show your WORK/SCENE.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any issues or suggestions!

***New Feature***: Auto Repeat Entire Scene or Selected Line
Thanks to user "soren23578" for the wonderful review and feature suggestion for auto repeat of a scene or specific line!! I have included it in this new version!
To use it: on the Rehearse screen you will now see a switch for "Repeat All/Line". If that switch is turned on, it will engage the auto repeat function. If you also have "Play Through Entire Scene" turned on, the auto repeat will loop the scene over and over. If you have "Play Through Entire Scene" turned off, the auto repeat will only repeat the selected line.
Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions, and for enjoying Off Book!
Please keep 'em comin' !

***New Feature***: Line Editing
Thanks to user "sn-azzy" for the wonderful review, and new feature suggestion: "Line Editing"! I saw your review, and as requested, have added that functionality to the app! Thank you so much everyone for all of your fine suggestions. Please, keep them coming and I will endeavor to continue making this experience great for all of us!
("sn-azzy" also suggested a line export feature, which I hope to include in version 2.5) sn-azzy: if you're reading this, please write me so we can discuss your feature request in greater depth!
LINE EDITING: On the new lines screen, you will now see a pencil graphic which will let you either re-record, or change the description of a line that you have recorded (in the event you aren't happy with the cadence, inflection, etc). You can also alter the line description if you are not (like me), using the "Character:Timing" automatic descriptions. Please note: the character for the line is locked. The line is saved with the character. If you want to record a line for a *different* character: record a new line, and then use the drag and drop method to re-position it in scene. There is a video on how to do this at my website.
As always: please keep your comments and suggestions coming, and I will get to them !
