What’s New
Version 7.0.0
Rebuilt completely from the ground up! Our latest generation book reader is a major leap forward:
- Audio Playback: Our app's most significant update is the custom audio playback functionality. Each book includes streamed audio, enhanced with new controls: play, pause, timeline scrub, looping, and speed control (without altering pitch). Playback now seamlessly spans multiple pages, ideal for charts and exercises extending beyond one page.
- Purchase Sync: The second major change is automatic sync for in-app purchases on iOS or other platforms with your HudsonMusic.com account. This feature lets you access your purchases on any supported device, including our web-based reader. This addresses the top customer query: how to access mobile purchases on a computer. Now, if you buy directly at HudsonMusic.com, you can instantly access your book on any reader app or web browser.
- Speed: The app is now twice as efficient, with the Shop and Catalog screens loading 20% faster and books loading 90% faster. Media is delivered via edge CDN servers globally, ensuring faster and more reliable audio and video streaming.
- Search: Every book now features an in-app search. Simply tap the search icon, start typing, and get a comprehensive index list to navigate quickly.
- Renamed Screens: We’ve made navigation clearer by renaming "Shop" to "Buy" and "Bookshelf" to "Read."
- Shop and Bookshelf Search: Easily search our catalog or your owned books by title, author, style, skill level, or publisher. No more endless scrolling to find what you need.
- Navigation: The Shop catalog now only displays books you don’t own, while the Bookshelf shows only your owned books, making navigation cleaner and less confusing.
- Table of Contents: Each book now has a consistent app-based table of contents for easy navigation.
- Bookmarking: Bookmark pages within the app to quickly access favorite sections, exercises, lessons, and charts.
- Improved Zoom: Double-tap to zoom in on a page, or use granular zoom controls for precise adjustments.
- Account Info: View and manage your account details directly within the app, including password reset options.
- Support: Access common support questions within the app. If you need further assistance, a direct contact option is available.
Ratings and Reviews
Hard to see the author of the book in preview
Great app and I’ve been a fan of Hudson since the video tape days. Is there anyway to get a better preview of who the author is? This really helps in buying decisions, thank you.
Landscape mode
The app looks better no more scrolling through the whole catalog to find your purchases.
My gripe is the new UI does not have a landscape mode. If you have device with a large screen you are fine but if you have a device with a smaller screen you are constantly zooming in and out or scrolling to get to areas out of view.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. We did limit the iPhone version to portrait view only, as we felt pages were too small to be useful in landscape, 2-up display on those sized screens. The iPad version does support landscape display.
iPhone app Review
The load time for each page is so incredibly slow. App buttons on the bottom of the screen lack realtime interaction between hitting the “button” and something happening.
I think it’s a good idea to have them catalogued online, but the execution of the service provided feels like I just spent $40 and cannot get the benefit of what I thought I was paying for. Maybe ChatGPT can help?
Hope it gets better.
