These are the most common questions I've received after releasing version 4.0:Q: I didn't know my app was going to be updated. What happened?A: You either installed the new version 4 without reading the notices I attached to it, or you have your device set to automatically install new app versions. See this page for instructions on how to control your app updates:
http://forum.arlomedia.com/index.php/topic,475.0.htmlQ: Why did you change the app?A: The new version complies with
Apple's current design requirements, provides a cleaner framework for
porting to Android, and adds several new features requested by users. To understand the benefits of this update, you can read the complete list of changes here:

http://forum.arlomedia.com/index.php/topic,475.msg919.html#msg919I cannot re-release the old version of the app because it does not comply with Apple's current design requirements.
Q: How do I get my old layout back?A: Previous versions of the app offered several customization options, and version 4 offers several more. After you select a show, you can
tap the Layouts button (this is the first button in the utility toolbar at the top right of your screen) and try the different layouts to find the one you like. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, send me a description of what you want and I'll help you find it.
Q: Why is the column resizing so difficult? It takes too long to do this on stage.A: You can resize the app columns while editing your data or setting up your layouts, but you generally should not need to do this while performing. Instead, you can select your preferred layout in the show view, and the column sizing will be loaded as part of the layout:

http://forum.arlomedia.com/index.php/topic,553.0.htmlQ: Why do my swipes to change songs work inconsistently?A: In the show view, you can swipe horizontally across the song info (the right column) but you have to move at least a half-inch (about 15 mm) in .1 seconds. That's not super fast, but faster than previous versions to avoid accidental song changes.
Q: How do I make the text in the song list smaller?A: In the show view, you can tap the Layout button (the first button in the new utility toolbar at the top right of your screen), then tap Edit, then change the Title Size and Details Size values in the left column, then tap the Layout button again and tap Save.
Q: Where is the Save button when I edit a song?A: Your data is now auto-saved whenever you leave an edit page. You can learn more tips like this by reviewing the release notes or guided tour videos linked above.
Q: If I send you a message full of swear words, insults and unreasonable demands, will that help me get what I want?A: No, but it might get your message deleted. A clear and courteous description of what you are looking for would be much more productive.
Q: If I write a bad review on the App Store, will that help me get what I want?A: No, but it might limit the future development of the app. Since version upgrades are free, I need new users to fund future development, and bad reviews reduce the number of new users.
