1.1.1
2021-02-15
Added support for iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone mini.
1.0.10
2019-10-29
New Features:
* New iPhone 11 connectivity.
* Full MIDI channel isolation for improved MIDI mapping. You can now choose to transmit a single control channel at a time to make it easier to select for mapping in third party apps.
* New connection helper for use in environments with strong magnetic background.
* New settings items, featuring a compass orientation selector that lets you turn orientation correction on or off. Turning orientation correction off may help prevent occasional drifting input signals on some older iPhones when used in proximity to strong magnets.
Bug fixes & improvements:
* Fixed bug that caused the app to crash frequently when in MIDI mode.
* Manual connection override for improved connectivity with older iPhones.
* Improved appearance in dark-mode
* Fixed bug in iOS 13 that caused the vocal tract model to stop working
* Corrected an issue where notes would get stuck when the app returned from the background in iOS 13.
* Fix for font bug introduced with iOS 13.
Known Issues:
* iPhone 11 connectivity is currently optimised for use in non-magnetic environments and users may experience issues when using it near strong magnets or magnetic objects. It should be possible to workaround any issues using the newly added connection helper.
1.0.9
2019-09-16
New Features:
* New orientation video to help get set up quickly.
* New touch dynamics added for improved responsiveness and note tracking.
* New ways to play: touch and hold notes on-screen to keep playing without skipping to the next note - let go to progress.
* Note auditioning in the Key/Scale selection to help choose the right key. Tap/hold the note name to play once/repeat the first note of the current riff in the chosen Key.
Bug fixes & improvements:
* Orientation bug fixed.
* Improved connectivity for iPhone 8 / 8plus models.
* Fixed bug that was causing the "Calibrating" popup message to display incorrectly as "No Skwitch".
Known Issues:
* iPhones 8 and older may occasionally experience a slowly drifting signal when strong external magnetic fields are nearby, requiring frequent calibration. Should this occur, try to identify the magnetic source (loudspeakers/steel bolts/fixings) and try restarting the app and setting up again somewhere away from the sources.

Bug fixes and improvements.
1.0.4
2018-10-15
Fixed a bug that was causing the app to crash when attempting to load a riff with zero notes in it - the app will also now ask if you want to keep or delete riffs with zero notes.
Added a fix for iPhone 5s users that will prevent crashes that were caused by a difference in the sensing and processing capabilities of this device. iPhone 5s users should now be able to attach and use Skwitch successfully, but some of the more advanced motion detection/calibration features are currently not working as expected on iPhone 5s and users will need to be careful to keep the device still after the initial calibration has completed. Depending on usage conditions, iPhone 5s users may also need to re-calibrate more frequently than users of later iPhone models.
Guidance screen added to iPhone version of app running in legacy mode on iPad to alert users that the App will not run on iPad - should be installed on iPhone only.
Added Jingle Bells riff.

Fixed an issue where the audio engine could fail to run correctly on startup.
