v4.1.2

The perfect app.

This is the perfect app for music theory practice. It’s so intuitive and useful, not only for my students but for my own personal use as well. The website version also has a very useful function of setting up a permanent link that can be sent to students which allow you to adjust the settings beforehand. Perhaps this (and the general teacher options on the website) could be a potential addition to the app as well? Also, another consideration would be making the code verification process simpler for kids. Thank you so much, and keep up the great work on this perfect app!
