Settings

Theme

Three options — Use iOS setting, Light, Dark. The first respects iOS's system-wide Dark Mode so Song Hive flips to light in the morning and dark in the evening automatically. The other two pin it to a specific mode.

Display

Keep screen awake — controls whether the screen is allowed to dim or lock while you're playing. On by default, because nothing kills a live performance like the screen going to sleep mid-chorus.

Songs → Song defaults

Opens Song Defaults, where you set the default font size, auto-scroll speed, session size, and which tabs (Chords / Lyrics / Notes) are visible by default on every new song.

iCloud Sync → Sync Log

Opens the Sync Log — every iCloud sync operation with full details on what was pulled, pushed, or skipped.

Data → Import / Export

Opens the Import / Export sub-screen, where you pick which sections to back up (songs, familiarity, tags, set lists, practice) and choose merge or overwrite on import.

Purchases

If you've already unlocked unlimited songs, a confirmation sits here (with a thank-you for early supporters who got unlimited built in). If not, the Restore Purchases button checks your Apple ID's purchase history — useful after reinstalling or switching devices.

Language

Song Hive is available in English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese. The app follows your device locale automatically. To use a different language within Song Hive specifically, open the iOS Settings app, scroll to Song Hive, and tap Language.

Help

Replay guided tour takes you back through the first-run tour — the series of highlighted tooltips that introduce the key features. Send feedback opens Mail with a pre-filled subject line addressed to the developer — the fastest way to flag a bug, request a feature, or just say hi.

About

User Guide opens the per-screen reference at songhive.net/screens — every button, every swipe, every shortcut. Release Notes opens the version history at songhive.net/release-notes.html so you can see exactly what changed in your current version and what's coming.

Version

The version number is shown at the bottom. Useful when sending a bug report. On the first launch of a new version, a What’s New popup summarises what changed — dismiss it with “Got it” and it won’t return until the next release.
