MobileSheets (Windows 10) and MobileSheetsPro (Android) v2.3.9 has been released. This update contains a significant number of new features and bug fixes. The following new features have been added:
1) OneDrive Support
OneDrive integration has been added, so it's now possible to import directly from OneDrive. You can also export files and use the library backup/restore features with OneDrive. In the file browser, the separate icons for Dropbox and Google Drive have been collapsed into a single new cloud icon.
2) New Audio Player Backend (change pitch/tempo/crossfading)
Thanks to the Superpowered Audio library, MobileSheets now has much more powerful audio backend. It is now possible to change the pitch and/or playback speed of a song. The audio playback should also be more reliable across all devices. The new audio library only works for the most commonly used audio file types though (i.e. mp3, m4a, wav, aac), so if a different kind of audio file is used such as a midi file, the old audio library will be used.
As part of adding the new audio library, I also added support for crossfading between tracks with an adjustable crossfade duration.
3) Support for AirTurn Direct Mode
For users with an AirTurn PED, PED Pro, or one of the new BT-200 pedals, you can now utilize AirTurn Direct Mode with MobileSheetsPro. This uses Bluetooth LE (which uses less power) and doesn't disable the virtual keyboard like pairing does. The AirTurn Direct Mode dialog can be accessed through the Touch & Pedal section of the Settings screen.
4) Added e-ink mode and stylus changes
For users with an Onyx Boox Max or other e-ink tablet, I've added a "E-Ink Mode" setting in the annotations editor (tap the circle at the top left to access this). This will slow the redraw rate while annotating which makes the e-ink device much more responsive.
I've also added new logic to disable touch input while a smart stylus is hovering or down. This should make it much easier to annotate without accidental panning or zooming. A new setting is also available to completely disable touch input when stylus mode is enabled.
5) Added setting to force screen orientation
Some users have experienced issues with being able to control their device rotation, so a new setting has been added to force MobileSheets to a given rotation.
