25.8 update auto shuffling tunes and playlists makes Ireal completely gig unusable
Long time pro musician user, love the program.
After the last update on Android, there is auto moving songs and playlists, and no way to disable it. It makes Ireal completely unusable for reading charts live, cause when you have a few seconds to find the next song, and you try to scroll, if you rest your finger for a second at a playlist, or at a tune inside a playlist, it gets stuck and follows the finger thinking you want to move it. So instead of scrolling down or up you end up randomly moving songs or playlists around, destroying setlists etc. Only way to avoid it is to scroll touching the far right of the screen, which is difficult to do especially with long titles (and impossible with playlists).
This is like a nightmare feature, it almost destroyed my last gig. Please disable it, noone needs random shuffling of setlists by accident, or make it a choice. The way it was was fine, go to a small menu, choose manual or A-z sorting, no automation.
Is there a way for someone to roll back the update or get an older version of Ireal somewhere to install until this gets fixed? I play about 4 hotel gigs a week all with ireal lists which are now unusable for me.

Just checked 25.8 on my moto phone.
Try this:
Think of your touch as controlling three different actions and you have to choose which one you want.
1. TAP selects/opens what you touch (playlist or song chart)
2. TOUCH & MOVE(your finger), scrolls through the list
no matter how long you hold it
(Just don’t lift your finger off the screen or you start over)
3. TOUCH & HOLD(don’t move your finger), after a ~1sec pause there’s both a tactile and visual indication that you have selected an item to re-position within the list.
It seems that the #3 action is causing your issue.
Practice using the #2 action and you’ll be in scroll-mode every time.
I can see how the change without any notification or instructions could be disconcerting.

We hope to improve this in the next update.

I'm having difficulty since the real drum upgrade with different volume levels on various rhythms. ie; the Jazz-New Orleans Swing is much louder than other rhythms. I've used and advocated for iReal Pro for well over 12 years and am now reluctant to gig with it. Any way for me to go back to the previous version? That you, DD
