Very helpful, wish for a few tweaks!

This is incredibly helpful when coming up with formations. There are a few features I wish it had to bring it over the top... 1) ability to add notes to each page, 2) ability to change speed of the transitions, 3) you can find example formations for various numbers of dancers online. To have some type of reference guide like this right in the app would be INCREDIBLE and 4) I don’t know how this could be done programming wise but it seems to automatically move icons using the shortest path possible, but i wish there were a way to change the path (eg, if I want dancers to circle around the stage to get to their new positions it’s hard to achieve this path in the current app without “faking it” with a few extra screens of “transition formations”... and it’s hard to visualize without this step). But still, a very helpful tool for choreographing!

So helpful, and is almost there!

This app has been a tremendous help for making formations! There have been other blocking apps in the past, but were less efficient than using pen and paper due to their bugs and limitations. A feature I really like is that I can insert formations in the middle of the piece. This is so helpful, since I don’t have to worry about getting all the sub-blocking down the first time.

A couple of fixes and feature requests that I would like:
- ability to add notes to each formation (a nice-to-have is to add a color legend per formation, describing what each color means)
- when entering names into the list of performers, when it gets to the bottom of the screen, the keyboard closes and reopens, and it’s pretty distracting. It would be nice if the keyboard stayed open if I press “return”.
- ability to watch transitions in slo-mo
- keeping the name labels’ text size the same when zooming in (it’s hard to see names of people standing next to each other right now)

Overall, I’m really enjoying the app, and am very grateful you are combining your talents in dance and software development to help the dance community. Much love!

WOW, thank you for taking the time to provide all this feedback! This means so much to me 😊🙏🏼 These are a lot of great feature ideas and improvements, some of which I’m already considering implementing for the next version of the app. Thank you again, and happy dancing! 💃🏻

The App won’t open :(

I love love this app and use it frequently and I just finished creating a set of formations and then the app randomly crashed and now it *consistently* crashes every time I try to open it! I am trying to view my formations as I need them as soon as possible and I can’t even open the app to view it without the app closing. I am on the newest version of the app and I even restarted my phone a few times. I’m afraid if i uninstall the app to re-download then all of my work will be gone. Please advise and try to fix this recurring problem!
