MobileSheets version 3.9.7 is now available for Android and iOS, and is awaiting approval for Windows. This update contains a few bug fixes for reported issues and a minor new feature. Additionally, companion app version 4.1.0 is also now available, and this update contains some significant changes, including an entirely new PDF library that opens up the ability to convert word (.docx) documents to PDF as well as combining and converting other supported file types to PDF in the song editor. This PDF library also makes it possible for me to properly support Linux and MacOS, as I was encountering significant stability issues with the previous library. The companion app also now supports an option to sort using grid column headers (which is how it worked with the 3.2.0 and earlier design) as well as list text size and grid column height settings for users that want to display as many entries as possible. I should mention that the only downside of the new PDF library is that the installer for the companion app has now more than tripled in size to around 140 MB, so it may take some users a little longer to download each update. The full list of changes can be found below:
Companion app v4.1.0
My next goal is to finish testing and releasing the Linux and MacOS versions of the companion app. Everything appears to be working so far, so it's just a matter of setting everything up properly to distribute those versions.
