This allows developers to make changes to their products a little by little and over time.Īs it turns out, this is better for end-users too. Development is now highly agile and iterative. The app economy operates in a completely different manner. What has become apparent for many app development shops is that releasing large upgrades every few years is no longer the way software is made. Our goal in this was to finish that list of feedback and get to the next big version of OnSong. This meant leaving our day jobs with a newly-purchased home, private school tuition for a foreign exchange student, and a new child. By the end of 2011, we realized we needed to make the jump to full-time. We tried to integrate OnSong into our day jobs to no avail. My wife had lost her job as an Athletic Trainer after we had our first child and I had run out of free time to keep up with the demands of OnSong users.

By early 2011, it became obvious that OnSong was growing faster than I could work on that list. Being a solo developer working in his free time, I started storing all of this feedback and quickly iterating on the app to try to please my new user community.

It was obvious that it struck a chord with musicians everywhere. In no time, I started receiving feedback on this little experiment I had released to the world. So, it seemed pretty logical to start the version of OnSong at 1.0. At that time, iOS app development was brand new and nobody knew exactly what would happen in the future. OnSong was released as one of the very first apps for iPad in 2010. We hope this will explain a little bit about the development of OnSong and why we've moved to a new version number. You may have also have been expecting that nebulous '2.0' release. If you've followed OnSong for any length of time, you may have noticed our peculiar version numbers. This process takes a lot of time, effort, and occasionally some tears.īut after all that, we hope what you find something waiting for you in your updates tab that you'll love. We've been super busy building the best app we can for musicians. It's been a while since we've last posted. Songbook on the iPhone & Windows and Chordpro Buddy on mac all to.
