GigMaster

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. I love it’s simplicity. Totally easy to use. Never goes wrong. Just need to be able to move songs between devices. Otherwise spot on.

Text Formatting would be a Bonus.

I love this app, have been using it for years! Works great.

I only wish there was a way to format text (Bold, Italics, Underline, Font color). Would be helpful to be able to distinguish background vocal lyrics on the song. When I copy a song from another app where I have formatted it, all of my BOLD or colored text disappears once in GigMaster.

Works Well

Fantastic app that is free to use, no pop ups or long ads.
Create multiple set lists, add or remove songs easily, you also have the ability to edit a song or create a song from scratch. I highly recommend this app.

How to

Maybe I’m missing something but are you not able to download Word docs or PDFs in to this app and if you are how do you do it? Nothing in the description gives you a clue and I see nothing in the app itself that resembles an import function ?? So much for basic and simple!

It works

Well this app works however I’d like some formatting options, even Bold or Italics would be a start. Colour text would be great! It does what it says but it could be better.

Perfect simple

Perfect for what I wanted. Paste in lyrics. Can create set lists for different gigs. Swipe through the set. Can even set the key, and adjust text size. The only request I’d have is a dark mode.

Great App

I have been using for a couple of years, it has many great features, the ability to easily email for one. However I want more. Ha!
As a drummer I work for many bands, my master list is cluttered, it would be nice to have a separate (sub) master list for each band.
Also I seldom use a set list in the exact order it is written, we need to read the crowd, maybe the guitar player would like to sing a different song. So I don’t use the actual “set feature” where you scroll through. Now the problem is that in order to access my lyrics I need to go back to the master list.
For me if these issues could be addressed this would be a 5 star app....I mean it’s free too so I have no right..Thanks to Tom, much appreciated.

Excellent!

This app is perfect for what I need. Easy to use. Can paste song lyrics in and create set lists in seconds.

Took a bit of playing around to realise you can swipe from left to bring in the song list panel after hiding it.
EDIT - My fault for not reading the description fully :-)

Is there a way of deleting songs/set lists?
EDIT AGAIN - Found out you can delete them by swiping left on text and tapping Delete.

Well worth downloading.

Easy and simple to use

Updating a song list is so much easier with this app. And creating a setlist is even easier! I enjoy the simplicity this app has to offer - all my sets are at my finger tips in one app. It’s as simple as choosing the right set list for the right occasion or customising sets for special occasions. The one thing I can think of to make search for songs easier is a alphabet slide in the songbook to take us straight to ‘T’ section and so on. Although I will add that you can search for a song in the ‘search’ bar

Life saver for an old (forgetful) rocker like me!

I just WISH I had found this app years ago!

So simple and easy to use. Get your catalogue loaded in (copy and paste from az lyrics works a treat) and then create set lists in seconds!

I would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the little glitch within the edit screen for the song lyrics. On occasion an enter, space, and back-space key-stroke caused the app to register twice, which was rather annoying. I am using a Bluetooth keyboard so can’t say if the in-app one does the same...

Apart from that, an excellent (AND FREE) app. Nice one!
