Latest updates
Beta and Stable releases
When I release updates for the app I try to avoid doing this on a Friday to Sunday as this is when most users will be using the app. I normally release to the beta channel first and then after checking with a few other devices I push the update to the stable channel. For major updates there can be a delay of a week or more before the beta release is promoted to the stable releases. For minor changes, this is usually only a day or so.

Important note for all users:
Version 6 is now the preferred version.
Users still currently using v5.6.0 (or wanting to return to the old version) have three choices:
Embrace v6 and all of its goodness - just make sure you have switched on automatic updates in Google Play and you'll receive the update when it is ready.
Switch off automatic updating of OpenSongApp in Google Play to stay with v5.6.0
Manually install v5.6.0 from my Downloads page if your app has already updated to v6, but remember to switch off automatic updates for the app.
Please note that v5.6.0 will not be updated and will not receive bug fixes, etc. All updates and developments are reserved for v6.
Please ensure that you've taken time to create any backups of your songs etc. just in case!
