Tap/hold the note name to play once/repeat the first note of the current riff in the chosen Key. Bug fixes & improvements: * Orientation bug fixed. * Improved connectivity for iPhone 8 / 8plus models. * Fixed bug that was causing the "Calibrating" popup message to display incorrectly as "No Skwitch". Known Issues: * iPhones 8 and older may occasionally experience a slowly drifting signal when strong external magnetic fields are nearby, requiring frequent calibration. Should this occur, try to identify the magnetic source (loudspeakers/steel bolts/fixings) and try restarting the app and setting up again somewhere away from the sources.
