Bug report: iOS 14.8 iPhone X Install from app store, open app, tap red circle to create first recording. Confirm/yes when prompted to allow TapeIt to access mic. Tap red circle again to create first recording. App crash. Relaunch, try again a few times. Every time, red circle record button -> immediate crash. :( UPDATE: Removed TapeIt and reinstalled it: now it works as expected.

Hey Chris, thanks for the quick report.

Yeah, I've just seen the crashes appear in Sentry. Glad to hear that it does work as expected after the reinstall (although it's definitely unfortunate that it crashed before, sorry for the inconvenience).

Did you experience any other weird behaviour before the crash?

Best, Jan (from Tape It :)

Looks great. BPM and key/scale detection would be awesome.

Thanks :)

Yes, I also think that BPM detection would be amazing and we are likely going to implement it in a future version.

Scale detection does also sound like an interesting feature.

However, I can't think of many use cases for key detection since (at least for me) it's quite common to just transpose a lick or some chords as necessary (e.g. joining them together with a different lick or melody or chord progression which I had maybe recorded on another day in another key). So when I'm searching for elements to use in a song, I don't find myself checking the key of each of those elements often or even searching them by key.

Still, I'd be interested to know what use cases you see for key detection :)

Like the look of it, will try later (working on assumption it'll be ok on iPad...?) (if not: any Android version incoming...?!)

Thanks :). Yes, it works on iPad, although currently only using the normal "iPhone App on iPad" compatibility mode.

Make sure to start the App while the iPad is in Portrait mode, we have a bug there that might else prevent you from tapping "Next" in the onboarding. This bug is fixed in 1.0.1, of which we're currently, let's say, experiencing [...] the App Store Review process (which is not always an easy one as some of you might know as well :). We hope to release 1.0.1 in a few days, as it includes some other bugfixes as well.

At the moment, an Android version is not planned.
