Just got worst

We used to love this app for all of our gigs. It was easy to use and was at one point very friendly.

After an update, it was hard to add a song from the library. Instead of 2 clicks, it’s now like 5 clicks to add a song.

What’s worst now is, we have a gig today, and our whole set list of songs, gone. Completely wiped. Unable to find.

Not sure what happened but now we have to try and remember our set from straight memory. Extremely terrible.

Good choice with hopefully some improvements down the road

I love the ability to control the font size and to highlight the beginnings of verses. As a vocalist, that’s really key. What’s unfortunate is that there’s an individual library for each band you’re in so even if your band sing similar song with one another, you have to manually copy and paste the song over I’ve also found it is very easy to accidentally delete an entire set list. Lastly, there are a lot of duplication issues duplicate song, listings duplicate set listings and duplicate band listings. I’m scared to log out and reinstall the app because I’m afraid I’ll lose more.

Works well for vocalists

Easy to set up set lists and use live for rehearsals and gigs.
Needs some work still on the editing functionality but that’s not a showstopper for using the app.

App no longer works, can’t cancel subscription, and can’t get a response

This app worked well for a bit but there are multiple bugs that have prevented use of setlists and now I can’t access my bands song list of about 50 songs. Because of these bugs I can’t even cancel the subscription. Hoping someone will read this and make this right.

Hi Russ, Unfortunate to hear you’re experiencing issues. Can you please make sure to update to the latest version of the app? If the issue remains please mail us at contact@bandcompanion.app so we can help out.

Could be great

Been experiencing major problems moving songs from one group to another. When I cut or copy a tune to paste into another group, the app crashes and closes. Also, ever since the last update, nothing works anymore…. All songs changed groups, no longer in alphabetical order, and lost all options to work with. Reached out to the app developer several times asking for help and support but never heard back. It’s too bad; this could actually be a pretty decent app….

App crash after update

The app was great, I used last night then it updated this morning and now is just a blank white screen. I lost a ton of songs and have a gig this afternoon.

Songs and set lists are too clunky

Bands rarely keep things static for long. Having an app you have to fight with to change your set lists is hard to deal with.

This feels like a very good idea that nobody bothered to polish up.

Automatically moving through your set list is great, but songs shouldn’t be stuck in a single set list. I’ve had the app crash on me for attempting to hit the copy button dozens of times.

Wish list:
1) Chords above lyrics. Being able to have a button to transpose those chords would be great too.
2) being able to have an overall song library, and being able to add a song easily from the library to any set list would make this much more functional.
3) a tap tempo button for when the band is going just a bit faster/slower than the studio version

Hi CRZELI, Thank you for your feedback. I will look into the suggestions, in regards to the song library; that’s already a work in progress and should arrive within the next few updates. The tempo can already be changed, which reflects in the indicator. If I understand correctly you suggest a button to tap which gathers the tempo instead of setting a number. This is something we will also look into. If you have any other feedback please reach out through contact@bandcompanion.app. Fr re, Nicky

Very nice

Just some little bug sometimes with the total of time in a set. Not a big deal but would be great if you can fix it! I have a set with 26 songs for a total of about 36 minutes.. it should be way more than that. But otherwise i love all the simplicity and all the nice features. Very well done, by far my favorite, thanks!
