To uninstall iReal Pro:
Home>More>Apps>iReal Pro ... Uninstall
(or similar, depending on your Android device.)
Assuming automatic backup is ON in your device's Settings, when you reinstall iReal Pro, it should import your songs and playlists automatically
(Google does not absolutely guarantee this however, and it will be the latest backup it had done). If not, then you have your backup in your email.

Uninstalling iReal Pro is seldom needed but could be used if you think there is some kind of problem in the way it is behaving. It is usually not necessary to do update when a new version is released, as the new version keeps user data intact (although we recommend backing up just to be sure your data does not get lost or something goes wrong).
Posting a song or a list of songs on Forum
I had to do a lot of experimenting to be able to get my songs into Forum. I believe that a straight-ahead step-by-step description would be very beneficial and make the process easier. Here is the way I would present the process of
"How to Submit Tunes to iReal Forums" . (I use a Mac)
1) In iReal, select the song or playlist
2) In the lower left-hand corner of iReal, click the first icon on the left (a box with an arrow) and select Song (Playlist) to Forums.
3)From a pop-up window, select "Open Forums"
4) Select a category (Jazz; Brazilian; Pop...)
5) Select "Post New Thread"
6) In the pop-up message area, first Title your entry, then click in the blank message space and hit Command V. Your song (or list) will appear in two forms: Coded numbers, then the actual titles. (Don't be confused by all the numbers. They belong there)
7) Below the message window, and off to the right, select "Preview Post' (If anything is wrong, a pop-up will tell you)
8) Select "Submit New Thread". You are done.
PLAYER CHARTS vs. READER CHARTS
PLAYER CHARTS vs. READER CHARTS
Sometimes you have to decide between a crowded, single-page chart for the player feature or having easily readable multi-page chart(s) for the performer.
Because this wonderful app is designed for a single-page cell phone platform, there will be some limitations.
If you are composing a lengthy symphony, iReal Pro is probably not your first choice.
The app was designed to DISPLAY the changes to a song on a single page on a small screen. A PERFECT portable, in your pocket, transposing fakebook.
If you're looking to handle long, complex arrangements on a single page, in iReal Pro, it's a challenge.
The wonderful player feature was initially intended as a PRACTICE tool. Because of the great work by the developer, some find the player useful in performance.
To address the issue: How many measures are possible?, if there's only one chord in a measure, only ONE space is required for that bar. Just add a bar-line on each side of that space. So, it's often quite possible to squeeeeeze lots more measures into your chart. Your chart may be ugly, impossible for a performer to easily read and have tiny chords that overlap, but will play just fine by the iRp player feature. Sometimes you just gotta choose what you really need.

The user may need to choose between having a readable chart, or the player track that works a certain way. For instance, you can force the player to accent off-beats by switching back and forth between time signatures but that can make the chart very difficult to read on the fly.

Likewise, you can make the player follow a complex form by writing it all out, but then you must condense the lengthy chart (by shortening measures) to make it fit the small screen, single page format of this wonderful app which makes it hard (or impossible) for the performer to read.
You can choose to have a lengthy, but easy for the performer to read and play chart by writing it all out, start to finish, top to bottom over multiple pages. Then during performance, simply swipe page to page. I do this for long choral arrangements with various D.S.'s and key changes.
Make sure you title each chart (page) in a way that will make sense to you.
Title xyz p1, Title xyz p2, etc.
You can still use the player feature to practice a part of the arrangement on a single page, but to play the whole song's track, you'd need to export the tracks to a DAW or sequencer, splice them together and play them with an external device.
Hopefully, in the process of adding more and more layers of features to be all things for all users, iReal Pro won't loose track of the elegant ease and simplicity that was the original hallmark of these incredible apps.
