LDS Music 1.4.1 for iOS – 9 Aug 2013
Bug Fix:
- Vocal Audio Content now persists after download
Note: This bug was causing the mp3 files to always download when the app was running, which caused older single core devices to run very slow when “Offline Access” was enabled under the Language Settings. (i.e. iPad 1, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4th gen, and earlier versions of each). The files will still need to download once, but after the initial download completes these devices should run much faster, since they won’t be continuously downloading these mp3 files. You can also address this issue by disabling “Offline Access” under the Language Settings menu.
