Release Notes Do you have practice goals for 2021? The new Goals Dashboard feature is designed to help you meet them. - See all of your Preset and Playlist goals in one place - Choose the days you want to work on different goals (Everyday, specific week days, every X days) - See your "Goals for Today" at the top of the Dashboard, along with the total practice time, and progress. - Tap a goal to immediately load the Preset/Playlist - Tap the Practice Log button to see all of the stats for the Preset/Playlist (when you last worked on it, what tempo, how much time you've logged in total, etc) Also in this version: - Improved Daily Summary notification tells you your current practice streak. - Achievement notifications tell you when you've beaten a previous practice streak, or had the best day or week of practice. - Removed the Facebook SDK. I only ever used it because I advertised PolyNome on Facebook and you need it to help with that. I never gave them your private data or anything, but I'm no longer comfortable letting that creepy company have any hooks in my code to do who-knows-what secretly behind the scenes. Happy New Year! I hope 2021 turns out better than 2020. - P.S. App reviews are like gold to a small app developer. If you like using the app take a minute and leave one, it helps a ton!
