Probably good if it worked

Paid for premium so I can add more than 10 songs to a set list only to find out the duration of the set list is not accurate at all. It was time consuming on this clunky ui to add all the durations just for it to tell me an incorrect time of 5:45 for my 16 song playlist that’s closer to 80 min. Waste of $2

Not Ready For Primetime

Interesting app/concept and has a lot of potential. But frankly, I’ve grown tired of the the word-input of the lyrics being buggy and not being able to line-up the scrolling of the text with the intended song. I made it almost through the third song before I gave up. Let me know when you fix that text field and when you have the option for lyric waypoints and then I’ll try it again.

Great… until it isn’t…

Will not let me open my 2nd set without the app crashing. Cannot even delete the set. Tried rebooting, re-downloading, and restarting.

Operation

I have this on my iPad. It’s been working great. But is Wi-Fi required to use it? When I go to band mates for rehearsal is seems to need Wi-Fi to work, even though I’ve pasted all the lyrics into it.

Unreliable

Trouble shooting for three days. Lost all my valuable work
Do Not buy. Where is the support? Thanks for making my life a nightmare before important auditions. I was counting on this it has let me horribly please get me access to my work so I can use another app. I’ve spent 100’s of hours working in this app to have no access and a white blank screen. I worked in tech support. I’ve done all I can.

Some things great, some things not

One of the most straightforward tools out there to get songs into the tool. However no ability to shift color schemes on background and the songs you enter into a set don’t seem to stay in a pool somewhere where you can pull from to make alternate sets etc. maybe I just haven’t figured it out yet

My Favourite Music Companion

This is an excellent App that assists the musician with handy display and movement of lyrics and song. Handy Beats per Minute and rapid access to music makes this App a winner. THNX

Move Songs from list to list

I love this app. It’s a life saver. Is there a way
I can move songs lyrics from one set list to another without having to retype or copy and paste them? Like having a master list you can drag and drop into a new set list when needed?

Also, can key entry either lost all keys (flats) or the ability to manually add it?

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. If you go to the screen where you edit songs, there is a copy button at the bottom of the page. From there you can copy a song to a different setlist! Glad to hear you enjoy Band Companion! Cheers, Nicky

It’s ok - needs an offline option

I think overall it works to house lyrics for a full show. I have had times where I can’t connect to Wi-Fi and then the app is useless. I don’t get why I can’t download the lyrics to the app. Even if it’s limited storage I need the ability to access my lyrics without a hotspot.

Perfect for me.

I just needed a list of my songs and a way to read the words without stopping to scroll. Fits the bill.
