Sheetviewer & program change app for Android question

Post by Eriknie »

I've been using my own application for viewing sheets/lyrics and playing backing tracks and sending program changes.
This was developed for PC/MacOs/iOS in python, pythonista, Swift, etc...

The most recent app was made for iOS. Even is you write an app from iOS, you cannot load it on your device for longer time if you are not a Apple developer. Therefor I became one. I put the app in the app-store for a low amount of money. Also use the account to develop a dementia clock for elderly people. There was the request to make the clock available for Android. I took the challenge and now that app in is in the play-store.
Because of my knowledge I also ported the QSheets app from iOS to Android. It is working for 90%.

Question is: is there any need for this?

Getting it in the store is some hassle and I need to test the app more and finish it to make it working all types of devices.
I played a gig with the Android app and that worked great. All functionality is in: Display txt, pdf, jpg and playback mp3/wav and send midi program changes to my Nords.

I assume the Android version will be for free.
Feel free to discuss possible use-cases, features you want to add and other remarks.

Below are the links to the website of both products.
MemoryMate - Dementia Clock
QSheets - Text/sheet Viewer

Looks really good to me. Especially as Song Mode is no longer a Nord thing.
To have song selection, lyrics and chords is very useful. And the option for an audio track is handy too.
Im not keen on using additional hardware when gigging, but this looks very interesting.
For me, i would be happy to use it for rehearsals , until fully proven.
Both Ios or Andriod is fine by me.

Hi Norm,

For me it works great and fits my workflow (that's the reason I developed it)
Given the low amount of replies here I'm not going to do the effort of finetuning and getting it into the Play store.
Perhaps I can release a .apk for a few testers.
The iOS version is available and is very stable.

All feedback is welcome!
