ChoreoRoom 4+

Very helpful, wish for a few tweaks!

This is incredibly helpful when coming up with formations. There are a few features I wish it had to bring it over the top... 1) ability to add notes to each page, 2) ability to change speed of the transitions, 3) you can find example formations for various numbers of dancers online. To have some type of reference guide like this right in the app would be INCREDIBLE and 4) I don’t know how this could be done programming wise but it seems to automatically move icons using the shortest path possible, but i wish there were a way to change the path (eg, if I want dancers to circle around the stage to get to their new positions it’s hard to achieve this path in the current app without “faking it” with a few extra screens of “transition formations”... and it’s hard to visualize without this step). But still, a very helpful tool for choreographing!

So helpful, and is almost there!

This app has been a tremendous help for making formations! There have been other blocking apps in the past, but were less efficient than using pen and paper due to their bugs and limitations. A feature I really like is that I can insert formations in the middle of the piece. This is so helpful, since I don’t have to worry about getting all the sub-blocking down the first time.

A couple of fixes and feature requests that I would like:
- ability to add notes to each formation (a nice-to-have is to add a color legend per formation, describing what each color means)
- when entering names into the list of performers, when it gets to the bottom of the screen, the keyboard closes and reopens, and it’s pretty distracting. It would be nice if the keyboard stayed open if I press “return”.
- ability to watch transitions in slo-mo
- keeping the name labels’ text size the same when zooming in (it’s hard to see names of people standing next to each other right now)

Overall, I’m really enjoying the app, and am very grateful you are combining your talents in dance and software development to help the dance community. Much love!

Developer Response ,

WOW, thank you for taking the time to provide all this feedback! This means so much to me 😊🙏🏼 These are a lot of great feature ideas and improvements, some of which I’m already considering implementing for the next version of the app. Thank you again, and happy dancing! 💃🏻

Awesome and simple to use

Thank you for making this available. Great help to me. I manage to learn to use it in a few mins, which is awesome. A few very simple and quick update can help a lot. 1) the stage is a little small. For example, I can’t draw 24 people in a line vertically. Would be great if the stage is 2x bigger in both direction. Or “, a bit more challenging, selectable. 2) would be great if I can enter a time stamp for each formation. Then provide a “play” button to run through all formations by the time stamp. 3) would be good to have a formation arrange view 4) would be good if the dancers can have facing directions, say 45 degree steps would be sufficient. 5) some notes per formation would be nice. Again, thank you for your awesome job. Looking forward to these updates
