Release Notes
What's changed.
What's different between released versions of Rep Jam Gig, newest first. This covers the app itself — not the website you're reading this on. The iPhone, iPad and Android apps now ship together, so from here an entry describes all three; the entries below Android's launch are labelled, because there was no Android app then.

Version 2.3

Added
- Keep your charts with your songs. Attach a lead sheet to any song — a PDF, a photo or a MusicXML score — and open it full screen. A small icon on the song's row opens it. On iPhone and iPad a chart syncs with its song through iCloud; on Android it stays on the phone.
- Charts that play. A MusicXML lead sheet opens as real notation and plays on a recorded piano — melody, chords or both, in the key you keep the song in, at a tempo you tap or type. Each tune remembers how you last played it.
- Scan a chart with the camera. On iPhone and iPad, Add Chart offers Scan with Camera, which turns the pages into one PDF; on Android, Take Photo. The camera is asked for only the first time you choose it, and never otherwise.
- Share or print a chart, and your charts now come out with Export All Data.
- An About screen behind the ⓘ on Repertoire: the version, the guide and privacy policy, and whether your library is syncing with iCloud.
- Sort each part of your repertoire. Performance Ready by A–Z or plays; In Progress and Want to Learn by A–Z or newest.
- A song in a jam can carry its own musicians and its own note, and set lists finish your titles as you type.
Changed
- Want to Learn opens newest first. One tap on its toggle puts it back to A–Z.
- On iPhone and iPad, the app is clearer about iCloud — it says when your library is still arriving rather than showing an empty screen, and asks first if an import would leave two copies of everything.
Fixed
- Restoring a backup brings back everything it should — a tune you called twice in one night, a set list song whose key you've changed since, and each musician's own instrument.
- Re-importing a venue's calendar updates the nights you already have instead of doubling them, and the app can fold together copies an older version made.
- And other bug fixes.
Now on Google Play
2.2
7 September 2026
Rep Jam Gig is live for Android
The first Android release. Get it on Google Play. A few of the things it does:
- Your repertoire, in your keys. Performance ready, in progress, and want-to-learn lists, with the key you actually sing or play each song in — and a built-in songbook of 2,500+ standards that fills in composer, lyricist and year as you type.
- Every jam and gig, logged. Who played, where, and what you called — and the musicians you play with build themselves into a directory from those entries.
- A calendar of the nights you mean to make. Plan sessions, repeat them the way jam nights actually repeat, and log one as a jam in a tap.
- Set lists that write themselves. The builder balances keys and tempos, rests songs you've played recently, and favours tunes you've played with the musicians on the gig.
- Import and export your whole library as one CSV, with your calendar alongside it as an .ics — for bringing an existing repertoire in, moving to another device, or keeping a backup out.
- Entirely on your device. No account, no tracking, no permissions asked.
Version 2.2
iPhone & iPad
24 August 2026
Added
- A Calendar tab. Plan the jam sessions you mean to go to and see them on a month at a glance. Repeats work the way jam nights actually do — every Wednesday, every 2 weeks, the third Monday or last Wednesday of the month — with custom patterns for anything else. Star a session to pin it to the top of its day, and edit, star or delete one session of a series or the whole series, like iPhone Calendar.
- Search the calendar by a session's name, place, notes or repeat rule, and jump straight to its next date.
- Import a calendar file. Bring in an .ics from any calendar app — a venue's published schedule, a shared jam list — and every repeat rule lands intact. Re-importing updates rather than duplicates. Nothing is fetched; you pick the file.
- Log a planned session as a jam in one tap, with the date and venue already filled in.
- Export All Data now includes your calendar as an .ics alongside the CSV.
- Musician names suggest themselves when logging a jam or gig, with the instrument you last noted for them.
- Instruments group by what they mean: "keys" and "piano", "sax" and "saxophone" count as one instrument, however you wrote them.
- New songs start as Want to Learn instead of Performance Ready.
- The import template explains itself. The CSV you download now opens with instructions saying exactly which columns each row type uses, next to a filled example of each — and the importer ignores the instruction lines, so they can stay in the file. There's also a step-by-step import guide.
Changed
- The Review tab is gone. A song you perform that isn't already catalogued goes straight into In Progress, with credits filled in from the songbook. Anything that was waiting on your Review tab is filed the same way the first time 2.2 opens — nothing is lost.
- Jams has a new icon (music notes); the calendar icon now belongs to the Calendar tab.
Fixed
- Renaming a musician follows them into your past jams and gigs instead of leaving a duplicate behind.
- Short titles like “Autumn Leaves” find their songbook credits again.
- And other bug fixes.
