Mobile SCD Cribs
I must agree, it is indeed awesome. Not a word I generally use I hasten to add. But being able to load up dances for a class evening, then being able to check it over, look at the diagram and if still unsure if you're teaching it right, watch the video! Well, 'awesome' does indeed seem appropriate.

I've just downloaded it and have had a play with it. Thank you Charles, it's awesome.
I downloaded the android version of the app last night and I'm really enjoying it! I love the multiple formats and the ability to save lists of dances. My only wish list item for future updates would be to search dances by type. For example, if I wanted to search for, say, a three couple strathspey, that would be immensely helpful. Being able to search by formations, such as dances that include parallel reels of three, would also be great. Best wishes, Diane Donald Boise, Idaho, USA

You can do that in the Strathspey SCD Database at https://my.strathspey.org/ dd/ (this is where Charlie's app gets its data from). To be fair, the formation search in SCDDB leaves something to be desired but it will eventually improve. One obvious way in which Charlie's app and the SCDDB could be integrated more closely would be if people's dance lists in SCDDB showed up in the app and vice-versa. I.e., you would create a list of dances in the web browser on your PC, taking advantage of SCDDB features such as “collections” of your dance books, and then that list would automatically be available in the app. Conversely, a list of dances created in the app would appear in your account on SCDDB. This would obviously require changes both in the SCDDB (which currently doesn't have a good API for dance lists) and the app (which would have to enable people to identify themselves to the SCDDB) but it might be worth looking into.
