Current beta notes

Platform baseline

• iOS or iPadOS 17 or later is required. Requirements lists device and permission detail.
• The documented workflow is iPad-first. iPhone builds use a compact layout; feature parity with iPad is not asserted.
• The beta installs through a TestFlight invitation and appears on the device under the app name iTurner.

Read your build number

Beta builds ship often — typically several in one week — and fixes are identified by build number, not by version. The Version row in Settings does not change between beta builds, so the build number is the identifier that matters in a problem report.

1. Open the Catalog tab.
2. Read the stats line under the works count. Its last entry is the build, for example build 322.

TestFlight shows the same number in parentheses after the version on the app's page.

Note Settings → About lists a Version and a Bundle row but no build number. When Support asks which build you are on, read it from the Catalog stats line or from TestFlight.

Workflows treated as beta

Beta The features below work, but their result depends on the score, the device, permissions, account state, quota, or network access. Verify each one on your own material before a lesson or performance.

• Follow live tracking and automatic page turns. Needs a score prepared in Trainer, microphone access, and a network connection: during a live session the app streams short segments of microphone audio to the alignment service. Start with the Follow overview; if tracking is unreliable, use Troubleshooting: Follow.
• Smart Score conversion and correction. A completed conversion does not establish musical accuracy — compare the result with its source and keep the matching PDF for source reference and supported printing. See the Smart Score overview and Troubleshooting: import and conversion.
• Harmonic analysis and generated fingering. Both are generated suggestions to review against your edition, not editorial ground truth. See Analysis and Fingering.
• Face-gesture page turning. Uses the front camera to detect mouth-open, eyebrow-raise, and head-turn gestures, and requires camera permission. See Hands-free control.

Two switches in the Following section of Settings control what Follow shares beyond live alignment: Share anonymous follow data sends usage statistics (piece, tick count, lost-tracking duration — no audio, no identity), and Share follow audio for model training is off by default. Both are described in Data and audio.

On-device answers with Apple Intelligence

On iPads with Apple Intelligence (M-series or A17 Pro and later, iPadOS 26+), Ask the Score generates its answers on the device — no network round trip and no added cost — when Use Apple Intelligence when available is on in Settings → Ask the Score. On other devices the toggle is unavailable and answers come from the cloud service. Questions that pull published sources (Deep Research) use the cloud on every device.

Stable foundations

The following work locally and are treated as stable unless a page states a narrower limit:

• Import of the supported file formats.
• Library organization across My Library, Collections, and the Catalog (Organize your library).
• Fixed-page reading, manual navigation, and manual page turns (Navigate, Page turning).
• Core PDF annotation (Annotations).
• Recording a take locally (Record a take).

Your library lives on the device. iCloud backup is opt-in: nothing is copied until you run Send to iCloud now in the iCloud section of Settings or set a routine sync cadence there, and Import from iCloud brings back anything in the backup that is missing on the device. See Sync and backup.

Limit The Settings layout is still being consolidated during the beta: a control can move between sections — or into the reader's Toolbox — from one build to the next. If a documented control is not where a page says, check the Settings reference, which follows the reviewed build.

Known documentation boundaries

• No claim is made about App Store availability or pricing; the beta is distributed through TestFlight only.
• The interface ships in English; complete bilingual coverage is not claimed.
• Offline operation of cloud-dependent steps (live Follow, Smart Score conversion, cloud chat answers) is not claimed.
• Identical iPad and iPhone behaviour is not claimed.
• Published format support is limited to the maintained file-format reference.

For a problem, start from the relevant troubleshooting page — Follow, Import and conversion, or Sync and performance — before contacting Support.
