#Convert onsong files to opensong update#

I'm pleased to announce that version 1.3 has been submitted to the App Store for approval. So thanks for sticking with OnSong as we work to make it better and better! I have a personal flaw that restricts communicate when I get busy.

Thanks for being patient as we update our blog. There's nothing final yet, but just know that we are all very excited about this space. We hope to soon be able to offer chord charts to church musicians in a way that's never been done before. OnSong is also opening dialog with many publishers of quality worship music. I'm sure there will be other small improvements beyond this focus, but we want to be true to the most requested features. We want to make the most out of the space we have on the screen, and translate that to wireless printing. Our primary focus of the next release will be formatting and printing.

What's next for OnSong? Well, we are planning another release right now which will target November and version 4.2 of iOS. We also gave away 100 copies of OnSong 1.5 for both iPad and iPhone! It was a great time and so much fun to meet so many worship leaders in one place! Everyone was amazed at what OnSong can do. We just released version 1.5 for both iPad and iPhone, and had our first marketing push by sponsoring this conference. Thanks to everyone for coming out to the NWLC East and stopping by the OnSong booth! This last month has been a busy time at OnSong. So please hang in there! If you are interested in knowing when OnSong 1.6 is ready for sale, make sure you sign up for the newsletter and I'll let you know very soon! You will also get the other features and improvements made for iOS 4.2 including wireless printing! Another feature is the ability to choose what files are imported from iTunes File Sharing.

For instance, you can have a book for church, and one for your band. Two of these main features include the ability to organize your song collection into 'books'. Some of these should appear in the final releasable version of OnSong 1.6. Since that time I began adding some much needed features to OnSong. So I had to resort to the rare instance of suspending sale of OnSong 1.6 until iOS 4.2 comes out. With the app store process, there's no easy way to go back once a version is approved. This means that people with older versions of the operating system (which is everyone because it hasn't come out yet) began to have their versions of OnSong stop working. Version 1.6 is only compatible for iOS 4.2, and yet it wasn't 'tagged' as such. However, I must admit that I messed up a bit. This past Friday, OnSong 1.6 was approved for sale and immediately, people started upgrading. Custom flow control of songs (V1 C V2 C C, etc).Updates to fix scrolling and multitasking issues.More robust Dropbox and MobileMe support.Universal app for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.I'm happy to report the following features coming in version 1.7!

I'm trying to make some more time for OnSong in my busy schedule so that I can continue to break new ground in this arena.

I can tell you that OnSong if going to be under active development for a while! So far I have 200+ feature requests just waiting to make their way into the next version. I believe together we will create something amazing to continue to help musicians everywhere go paperless and get organized! I'm confident they will put this version through it's paces. It has just gone to my beta team who are dedicated, hard working musicians from all walks of life. OnSong 1.6 had to launch without sufficient testing so I'm working hard at wrapping up version 1.7 as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone for your patience as I got things worked out. But after a few days, we were back up and running with OnSong 1.6. Because of some mistakes I made, and some delays on Apple's launch of iOS 4.2, I had to remove the app from the app store for a time. November was a rough month as I moved to support iOS 4.2 including features like multitasking and printing. I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season! Things have been quite busy here at OnSong as you can imagine.
