Android Release Notes
Updates released to Google Play for Band Central on Android phones and tablets.
Band Central for Android 3.6
June 28, 2026
Chord diagrams arrive. Band Central now draws fretboard chord diagrams for the chords in your ChordPro lyrics. Choose how you see them: a Chord summary of every chord at the top of the song, Inline diagrams above each chord, or a pinned Bottom, Top, or Right strip that stays in view as you scroll. Switch between guitar and ukulele, turn on left-handed shapes, make diagrams capo-aware so a capoed song shows the shape you actually play, adjust the size, and tap any chord to flip through alternate voicings and pick the one you use. Diagrams follow the Transpose tool, and a ChordPro define directive in your song sets a custom shape. Your choices are saved with each lyric and sync across your devices. Released June 28, 2026.

A follow-up release focused on annotation and navigation fixes. Annotations you draw on an iPhone or iPad now line up correctly when the same ChordPro lyric is opened on Android, and your saved annotations reliably load every time you reopen a song. Long-press a comment or a text note on a lyric to edit it directly. The side menu has been redesigned to match the iPhone and iPad, with a header showing your band name and its song and setlist counts, and a footer showing your signed-in name, plan, and the app version. Help now opens inside the app instead of jumping out to your browser.

Drawing and markup arrives. Mark up any PDF chart or ChordPro lyric with a pen, highlighter, eraser, and movable text notes in 10 colors -- great for cuts, repeats, key changes, and cues. Your marks are shared with the whole band and sync in real time, and they never change your original file. You can now Share and Print a PDF chart with your annotations included. Plus a lyric fix: adding a lyric now makes it your default and clears the old one.

June 2026
Fixed a crash when importing PDF song files from Dropbox, and a crash that could happen when viewing your setlists. Setlists now rearrange only after you tap Reorder, so songs do not move by accident. The Songs A-Z index now shows non-Latin letters (such as Greek) instead of grouping them under "#". Import now accepts more ChordPro file types (.cho, .crd, .chordpro, and more). In Page Sections, each section is a fixed page that fits the screen, and a foot pedal moves one section at a time. The free plan now includes up to 50 songs (up from 25). Band cards now show your plan as a label, with an easy way to subscribe.
