  Bug Fixes & Team Leaders
  ===================
  
  MEDIA PLAYER FIXES
  --------------------------
  - Scrubbing the media player after minimizing it works again! Some bugs miraculously manage to slip through extensive testing.
  No hiding it, here is the rub
  It's sad but we missed a big flub
  Like kids in the dirt
  Who stain their new shirt
  The only good fix is to scrub
  
  - Launching the app no longer stops music playing from other apps.
  This one's for the ladies and fellas
  Our app was a little too zealous
  Behaved like a loon
  When hearing your tunes
  And shut 'em down 'cause it was jealous
  
  - Downloading files in the media player seemed slow because the animation didn't start until the first file had finished downloading. Now the animation starts right away.
  Our downloader seemed it was slowing
  You couldn't tell if it was going
  Like swans on a lake
  No visible shakes
  But under the surface all flowing
  
  - Skipped songs are now properly being skipped when using forward or back controls while the app is in the background.
  Just swipe to skip, our new invention
  When open or closed, the intention
  It just wasn't healthy
  Like most duck-face selfies
  Our app was just starved for attention
  
  TEAM LEADERS
  --------------------
  - Partial support for our new Team Leaders feature. If a team's defaults or a person's replies are set to the new 'All Team Leaders' option, you'll properly see that in the app. You can currently change this from 'All Team Leaders' to a specific person using the app, but not the other way around yet.
  Replies can now go to more folks
  We heard when you asked and invoked
  If set from your browser
  The app, like a schnauzer
  Will sniff out and find it, no joke!

  Huge new audio player, redesigned metronome, and assigning rehearsal times to split teams.
  
  AUDIO PLAYER
  • Full screen audio player & toolbar - The audio player now goes full screen to give you more room for controls, but can keep a mini toolbar on top of all other screens to quickly take you back. What is this toolbar, a media player for ANTS?!
  • Audio looping - Drag the start and end markers to repeat the same section, the same section, the same section for rehearsing.
  • Skip songs in playlists - Swipe any track left to set it to skip in your playlist. You might as well name each song “To My Lou” since you can Skip it so easily.
  • Download all files - Songs save within the app after you play them once, but now you can download them all at once to cache them for offline use. What other app update notes can promise to increase your cache flow!?
  • Artwork - View large album artwork on your lockscreen, control center, or by tapping the artwork thumbnail in the media player. How can you truly rehearse without seeing a picture of other people’s hands?
  • Redesigned metronome - The metronome gets a new look that scales to fit any size device. We worked on our scales, so you can practice yours.
  
  FOR EDITORS
  • You can link rehearsal times & other times to specific service times. This allows you to easily assign your 8:30 prayer only to 9:00 service volunteers. If you’re lost, you can look, and then you can link….times to a time.

  Add Arrangements & Keys, see your assigned times, and more.
  
  FEATURES (for Editors & Admins)
  • Add and edit Arrangements & Keys. Florists and Locksmiths rejoice! Wait, wrong crowd.
  • Import SongSelect & PraiseCharts files when adding Keys. We're no longer in uncharted territory.
  • New design for Song & Arrangement pages with tabs. Calm down guitarists, not that kind of tabs.
  
  (for everyone)
  • Plan times you aren't assigned to are grayed out, like on the web. We still only show start times though, because let's face it, most service and rehearsal ending times are already a gray area.
  
  IMPROVEMENTS
  • Added a “Plans” header under My Schedule to help you see where your schedule ends and other plans begin. This is a reverse joke if you serve so often that My Schedule and All Plans are already the same thing.
  • Song Key descriptions show up in more places, like when adding a new song to a plan. If you're sharp, you'll see this in our flat design, but when you do, act natural.
  
  FIXES
  • Open .docx files again. The former doctor will see you now.
  • “Open in Projector” button works again. Have you seen the all new Planning Center Projector version 2? It's our iOS presentation app that's the easiest way to display lyrics, videos and slides during your services. What are you waiting for, update notes are over, go check it out!

  Lots of fixes and a couple small features.
  
  FEATURES
  - Adding songs to a plan imports notes from the last time you did that song in that service (like the website does). Passing on notes? It’s like we’re back in Jr. High. Do you like this feature? Circle yes or no.
  - 1Password support. If you use the 1Password app, you’ll see its lock icon on the login screen. If you still forget your password, simply find a friend named Joshua, open our app, march around your church 7 times, blow into the microphone, and then click the forgot password link.
  - Hide times for excluded items. If an item is removed from one service time on the web, the app now calculates the times correctly and excludes those times. You should feel like a VIP because this is an exclusive update.
  - If you’ve linked accounts from multiple churches, you’ll see church names in My Schedule. It’s been said that 80% of life is just showing up, but if it’s to the wrong place then you did all that math for nothing.
  
  FIXES
  - We fixed an issue preventing you from uploading profile pictures on iPads. We didn’t want you to get a big head.
  - Rotating a PDF while viewing it no longer messes up the app. We’re basically spin doctors over here.
  - You can now use new longer domains, like .church, when adding email addresses. Upon this spot you can write dot church and the gates of mail can now prevail against it.
  - Editing a song item no longer resets the key. We figured we needed to fix this since it’s a key feature.
  - And of course, other various styling improvements and bug fixes.

  Just a couple of bug fixes.
  
  - People weren't showing after you scheduled them until manually refreshing. If you're going to bestow the power of invisibility on someone, they should at least know it. Like this bug, that much is clear.
  - Fixed a crash when creating new people. We debated having them show up in your account 9 months later, but decided to just fix it instead.

  Just bug fixes here
  - Live 3.0 once again prevents your device from sleeping. We were tired of this, too.
  - Brought item detail back to the app. We figure a planning app should be detail oriented.
  - Various other fixes including audio player, push notifications, widget design and viewing attachments.

  2 bug fixes coming your way!
  - In the order of service, changing the length column to a time wasn't always working. It was literally time for a change. #ClockTalk
  - Trying to view some teams caused a rare crash. Now it's well-done. #NoPinkFeatures
  
  Do you love the PCO Services app, the update notes, or the fact that we never advertise or prompt for app ratings in the app? We'd love it if you'd leave us a review!

  - The Order of Service now remembers if you like to see specific times instead of item lengths in the left column. It's a marginal improvement.
  
  - The total service time no longer includes post-service items. This fix was literally an afterthought.
  
  - Improved support for our new Split Teams feature, allowing people scheduled for multiple times to respond to each time individually. This request, should you choose to accept or decline it, will self destruct. Okay, no it won't, that's not covered by Apple Care.
  
  - When sending an email from a person's profile, the email was wiped out if you forgot to enter a subject. We won't subject you to that anymore.

  Isn’t it disappointing to see your app has an update only to find it’s just bug fixes? To help compensate for that, we at least try to make them fun!
  
  -Signup Sheets occasionally signed someone up for a different plan in the future. Fortunately that no longer happens! Unfortunately Dr. Emmett Brown no longer works here. Jumpin Jiggawatts!
  
  - Viewers can now filter on the people & song pages. Hopefully they don’t strain themselves.
  
  - Some PDFs (that were assigned to attachment types) weren’t showing for anyone. Unprepared musicians finally had a better excuse than the dog ate my music.
  
  - Adding a profile picture for one person showed that pic for all people with no profile picture. This really brought a new meaning to the song “Make Us One.”

  Another round of bug fixes.
  
  - Schedulers can schedule people once again. This was like a Tuna surprise casserole where the surprise was no tuna!
  - Office XML files will open again. If you were wondering where that feature went, XML marks the spot.
  - Fixed a bug preventing PDF files from being shared. Even a kindergartener can tell you that sharing is caring.

  Not much to see, just some bug fixes. Most notably, users without scheduler permission no longer see the buttons to schedule or email people. Don't worry, the buttons didn't actually work for them, but they did give delusions of grandeur.

  - Fixed a crashing bug on iOS 6. Sorry about that!
  
  NEW in 2.5
  It's time for another big update! Along with updating more icons & screens in the app for iOS7 and fixing lots of bugs, the following features are available for Schedulers, Editors and Administrators:
  
  - Teams & Tags. "People Categories" has been renamed "Teams" and "Custom Properties" has been renamed "Tags" on all our apps and the web to make everything easier to understand. We took a tag team approach to make this happen.
  
  - Choose Welcome Emails. When you add new people, you can now send them any of your custom welcome emails. No need to thank us for this, since the feature itself is literally already saying you're welcome.
  
  - Song Filtering! You can now filter your songs from the top of the songs page and also when adding songs to a plan. You've got 10,000 Reasons why you're tired of scrolling past your first songs, so As the Deer panteth for the water, we've bestowed song filters upon the app.
  
  - Added ability to use people filters when scheduling. You'll get a real sense of pride when you schedule your coffee team by filtering them first.
  
  - Key Descriptions. If you've entered any descriptions for keys on the web, you'll see those in the app to know the purpose of each key. To key or not to key, that is the question.

  Along with the obligatory bug fixes, we have a new feature for Schedulers:
  
  - Family Preferences. In addition to simplifying the design for editing scheduled people, if you've set up our new household preferences feature online, you'll see those family preferences or conflicts when scheduling. If only avoiding real family conflicts was so easy.

  The new year brings a new name. We’ve renamed the iOS app ‘Services’ to match the web and distinguish it from our other Planning Center apps. We’ve also made the following changes:
  
  - Fixed a crash when playing audio on iOS7 so you can practice your singing again. Just because iOS7 is flat doesn’t mean you should be.
  
  - Schedulers can once again upload profile pics for others. We reward your team’s aversion to selfies by letting you upload pictures of them. We will confiscate this feature if we see too many mirror reflections, driver’s seats, or pouty duck lips of any kind.
  
  - Editors can see what keys were used from the Schedule section on Song pages. Further proof that if dolphins start attending your church, the songs might be too high.

  We’re giving you just a little more to be thankful for with a handful of new features.
  
  FOR EVERYONE
  - View email content! Tapping an email from your profile will actually show you the content of the email! Don’t just be thankful, be content with your content.
  
  FOR SCHEDULERS, EDITORS and ADMINS
  - Edit People Custom Properties. You can now add and remove properties from users. Be thankful we decided against the revolutionary “Mr. Potato Head” interface we considered. It would have been buckets of fun, though.
  - Required Properties. If any properties are marked as “required” on the web site, the app prompts you to set them when adding a person. Be thankful that these required properties were a must-have feature. Literally.
  - Adding a new person now starts with a search to allow importing someone from another Planning Center app (like Resources), and to prevent duplicates. If we don’t prevent duplicates, you get clones, and the only thing worse than an attack of the clones, would be a movie based on it.

  So the previous update might have been like a resounding cymbal for some people...yeah, it crashed a lot (in one specific instance, at least). If you closed the app on the main people page, it would crash when you opened it again. Now that we've fixed it, the cymbals are back in check, so feel free to resume with your timbrel and dancing.

  After such a big update, there were bound to be some bugs. We’ve fixed most of them, other than plan item notes not showing in some cases. We have already fixed that on our end and it will be included in the next update along with some new features. Here are highlights of some of the bugs that have been fixed in this version:
  
  - Fixed a crash that would occur if you tapped the “No Plans” message within a Service Type. This isn’t Field of Dreams. If you tap it, they aren’t going to come!
  
  - Fixed a crash that would occur when opening a plan from within your Profile page on iPad. I mean, do you really need to see your plans within a planning app?
  
  - Fixed a bug that would prevent a pdf attachment from being opened a second time. What, you don’t have a photographic memory?
  
  - Fixed a bug that was showing hidden songs in the songs list. Apologies to those who thought the Holy Spirit was suggesting you bring back the ‘classics.'
  
  - Fixed an issue preventing the creation of blockout dates. You thought you could take a summer vacation? How cute.
  
  - Fixed a bug that could hide some people in the schedule section. It was the anti-6th sense: "I don’t see living people."
  
  - Songs and people lists load faster. Patience is still a virtue, you just don’t get to practice it in our app as much.
