The first 1.5 beta is finally here for android 2.3+. I've tested on 10-15 devices varying between 2.3 and 4.3 (i don't have 4.4 yet) and the stability is pretty good. Playback speed control can currently only be accessed via the preferences (prefs -> audio -> playback -> tempo), but I will add gesture actions and a UI for it at some point.

First you need to join the beta google+ community:

Updates should come fairly regularly now. Assuming there are no major issues, I'll begin work on some tablet layouts
