We have released Complete Music Trainer, a web/desktop application allowing to access our three apps Complete Ear Trainer, Complete Rhythm Trainer and Complete Music Reading Trainer on a desktop computer. Some of the changes below are a direct consequence of that release.

• Achievements are now handled inside the app. There is no need to sign in to Google Play Games anymore to unlock and display achievements. Therefore, achievements are now always enabled, and a switch has been added in the app settings to optionally also publish your achievements to Google Play Games
• Leaderboards are now handled on our own servers instead of using Google Play Games, meaning that leaderboards are now cross-platform and are displaying - on a brand-new user interface! - scores from Android, iOS and Complete Music Trainer users
• We are now using our own servers to sync progression data in the cloud. Signing in to Google Play Games is not required anymore. As a result, cloud sync is now cross-platform: your data will from now on be synced between Android, iOS and the web/desktop version of the app
• Achievements are now synced in the cloud
• We are now using our own license server. Consequently, licenses are now cross-platform: if you buy the full version of the app on Android, the full version will also be available on iOS. And vice-versa. An optional subscription also gives access to Complete Music Trainer web/desktop app, and is a great way to help with server costs and support us
• “My account” page added
• You can now set a profile picture that will be displayed on leaderboards
• You can now delete your account directly from the app
• Two images have been replaced with new images (“custom training” and “achievements”)
• Typography is now bolder in many places to improve readability
• Separators have been added to the app menu
• Custom programs: “Leaderboards” and “Invite friends/students” menu items have been added
