What’s new
Every version published to the store, and what changed. The app is updated closely.
Current version
2.5.0
12 languages: the app and notifications now speak your language, with manual choice in Settings.
The Setlists screen gained search to find your repertoire instantly, and an empty list now shows a button right in the center to add the first song.
Earlier versions
Background start-up fixes and a leaner app package.
Fixed an unexpected crash when scrolling the pad library too fast and a loading failure in My Lists, plus the app getting stuck on the splash screen on some devices.
Audio engine stability and a security fix in file importing.
Fixed freezes when playing or pausing and a startup race that duplicated the volume limiter, plus a file-picker flaw that could expose folders outside the expected path when importing Custom Pads.
Fixes in app startup and the mixer, including a sound layer that kept playing hidden.
Fixed a race that could leave the pad library temporarily empty on cold boots, and a rare mixer bug where a sound layer kept playing with no on-screen control to silence it.
Expanded error monitoring, to spot and fix problems faster.
Full crash-reporting integration across the audio engine, subscription system, local storage and navigation — nothing changes on screen, but it speeds up fixing problems in production.
Drag to reorder Setlists, and unlimited Custom Pads on PRO.
Removed the 10-pad limit for PRO subscribers, and fixed a bug where pausing from the lock screen or notification took several taps before the audio actually stopped.
Custom Pads: import your own audio (WAV, MP3, AAC, FLAC), with a dedicated engine.
Also fixed the bug where paused audio started playing again on its own after a call or an Instagram/YouTube video, plus stability adjustments for tablets and Android 14 compatibility.
Dynamic trial: the trial period now comes from the store itself.
Also fixed sound cutting out after 1-2 minutes on some Android devices, and the interface now responds to taps instantly, even while audio is still loading in the background.
Five-layer shield: sound no longer stops with the screen locked.
Strengthened protection against the system killing the app in the background on devices that are more aggressive about battery saving, and the playback notification now hides itself after 3 minutes paused.
Silent fallback: a song with a PRO pad no longer interrupts worship on the free plan.
On the free plan, playing a list with a PRO pad in the first slot now plays the default pad instead, automatically and without interrupting the performance.
Setlists: repertoire with a pad and key per song.
The community's most requested feature: build repertoire lists, set the pad and key for each song, and play it all straight from the app — no paper, no improvising on stage.
Recalibrated pads: smaller, more faithful files, with balanced volume.
Optimization of the local pads, major and minor, balancing volume between them and reducing file size, with a gain in audio fidelity.
The app remembers where you left off, plus the Theme Editor and Notification Center arrive.
Closing or minimizing the app mid-worship no longer loses your place: it reopens with the same pads and volumes. Over 100 ready-made themes also arrived, an editor to create your own, and a center to receive news and alerts right in the app.
Key system in the library: badge identification to find the right pad faster.
The note grid now automatically recognizes when a minor pad is active and updates the chord labels on screen (from C to Cm, for example), with no need to memorize which pad is playing.
Dynamic Note Grid: the grid already shows the right chords for minor pads.
When selecting a minor-key pad, the grid buttons update on their own to show the correct chords (like Cm, Dm), and the library gains colored labels to identify each pad's key.
Pads Ambiente 2.0: new C++ audio architecture and the Dark Blue theme.
The most significant update in the app's history: audio engine rewritten from scratch for zero latency and perfect crossfade between keys, the arrival of the PRO subscription plan, an effects rack (filter, equalizer, reverb) and full offline mode.
Stability fixes for the first generation of the app.
The app now shows an alert right on the main screen when a new version is available, on top of faster pad start-up and internal stability fixes.
Compatible with Android 14, with strengthened security.
Compatibility adjustments for the latest Android versions, bringing performance and stability improvements.
Fade In and Fade Out on every pad, for smoother transitions.
Also added a menu shortcut to rate the app directly on Google Play.
The app now automatically follows your phone's language.
Interface available in Portuguese, English and Spanish, chosen automatically based on the device's configured language.
Pads Ambiente launches on Google Play.
