Third-party music services such as Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music are not supported due to licensing restrictions.

Now you can trim your announcement files right inside NBU (and again, no in-app purchases, this is just a freeeee extra, winky face). The whole trim screen got a glow-up too: bigger waveform, pinch to zoom, scrub by half-seconds, loop the selection while you nail the edit. Now you have way more control when cloning a team or a player. Got a travel team made up of half your regular squad? Clone the team, deselect the kids who aren't going, rename it, swap the team photo if you want, and WA-LA, head start baby! Same deal for cloning a player to another team: their intro audio and walk-up song come along for the ride. Now explicit songs on the player card playlist get that magical little "E" symbol, so you know which ones might be inappropriate (because the parents are here, ya know). We all live in dark mode, I know. But this update also fixes some light mode hiccups where titles looked missing when really they were just colored wrong. Sometimes you're popular, you forget to flip on Do Not Disturb, and a phone call or notification cancels the introduction of your ball-players. No other apps handle this, so we figured we'd be the first. NBU now recovers from interruptions gracefully and keeps the show going. Sometimes you're not sure if you accepted Apple Music permissions, or if you're even subscribed to Apple Music. No worries, we got that handled too. Head into Settings to see your subscription status and whether NBU has the access it needs. Importing a team from a friend used to fail sometimes, and you'd retry until eventually it'd stick. Fixed. Finally. We're talkin' first-try success now. The song title on the player card was a little weird-lookin'. We un-weirded it. Yup, that was the fix. Remember those text-to-speech intros you set up like six months ago that mysteriously never played at game time? Turns out they were saved in a format the playback engine quietly hated. The first time you open this update, you'll see a quick "tuning up your walk-up tracks" screen while we convert them in the background. Now they actually play. Better late than never, right? Walk-up announcement longer than the song clip? The song ending used to chop the announcer off mid-sentence. Rude. Now the song waits its turn like a polite young man and lets the announcer finish their thought. Fixed a tiny gremlin where the music's fade-out would sneak in one last little volume surge right at the end, like it was trying to steal the spotlight from your announcer. The gremlin has been evicted. "Delete all data" used to be a single tap away from regret. Now we make you type the word "delete" to confirm, because we've all had that "wait, did I just..." moment. Now you can't, unless you really meant to.
