My preferred charting app, but
This is the best Nashville number-style charting app I’ve found so far, but I recently found that sometimes the chords are incorrect when I switch a chart from numbers to letters. For example, the 6m in the key of A-flat minor is E-minor/F-flat minor, but the app thinks it is F-minor even when I correctly set the key. If I hand my chart to someone who doesn’t read numbers, this could be an issue onstage. I’d love to see this fixed, but otherwise I’m enjoying the app.

Typing keyboard on iPad
Hello, love the app. I used to use your old Nashville Fonts in the day. Question, how do I get the app to see my attached keyboard? When I try to type the numbers, nothing happens. Thanks
I love this app…….BUT (please listen developers)
This app has cut my preparation time down by 60-80 percent for fill in gigs. ONE ISSUE, I want to share my entire charts on both of my iPads (one being a backup) but this is not possible. Unless you want to do it 1 at a time.
This would make the app perfect

Great app! But…
I’ve found this app to be very useful when it comes to making and keeping charts. The only issue I have is that there’s no hand-written annotation support. I’m a drummer, and having my charts annotated is a must when I play with people. I really would like to make my charts, annotate them, and read them while playing, all within the same app. It’s very unfortunate that my only options are either to print them out and annotate the paper, or export them and annotate the PDFs. It would be so useful to do everything all together. Other than that, this app has served me very well!

Good but page sizing needs work
Quick and easy to make charts but there is only 3 text sizes and the larger fonts leave a lot of blank space and a force unnecessary page breaks.
Pretty good App
It would be great to add a metronome to this App and be able to color code any text including verse/chorus/bridge / notation, etc Adding the above would make it a much better and complete App Thanks
Awesome! Wish it had a few things though
I absolutely love this app and it has made charting and organizing my charts a breeze. However, I would love to see the following in a future update:
1). Apple Pencil support. It would be awesome to be able to write on my charts directly in the app. The only way to do this is to export my chart as a PDF and save it elsewhere. I prefer keeping my charts within the app since the notebooks feature is super handy.
2). The ability to import PDFs. I like to add snippets of tabs over some of my charts. Since the app doesn’t allow me to add a screenshot of anything to my charts, it would at least be nice for me to do it in another app and then import that new pdf back into the app for the sake of organization.

Great performance app
Love that you can switch to letters or numbers and transpose easily. Changing keys can be noted in comments but to use a number system you need to input changes relating to original key.
Font variables
I have hundreds of charts in 1CHART
Is it possible to have / use more than 1 FONT size in the same chart ? Adding small notations to large chords could be very helpfulChip

Great App & Fast Tech Support
The app works great for writing Nashville Numbers charts. I recently ran into an issue and their tech support was fast to help me troubleshoot. Thank you to the developers!
Love this app!
There’s nothing else like it. A couple suggestions:
* Mod should be in steps up or down as declaring a specific key kind of defeats one of the purposes of the NNS
* Many prefer to use the dash “-“ for minor chords

ICloud Backups?
Excellent app, but I’m outta luck if my iPad is lost or crashes. Please allow me to save my files to iCloud!
Good app, missing basics
This is a good chart app whether or not you use Nashville numbers. However, it’s missing some really basic features (iCloud sync, Bluetooth pedal integration) that have me questioning its value for the price. With no updates in two years I’m not convinced it’s worth paying for in 2022.
Almost 5 stars!
These charts are clean, easy to read, and easily transferable to apps like ForScore where reading/marking is more practical. The app is also relatively easy to use. I love the app and I make every chart besides jazz tunes in this app. A few things that may make the app better:
Make sharing charts with other people easier. The sharing/notebook creation process is pretty strenuous. There must be a way to make a highlight all button or make the selection process more similar to the Apple email app.
Rhythmic notation: when you want to erase one rhythm, you have to erase all rhythms written for the selected chord. So if you write an 8th note when you meant to push 16th note, you have to erase all the rhythm you’ve written up to that point. Same goes for beaming - if you make an error beaming rhythms over multiple chords, you have to erase all of the chords and rewrite them with the proper beaming. Also, it is currently impossible to denote the number of beats for a chord if you are also trying to notate a push. I hope I’m wrong, or that there is an easy solution to these problems!
Tempo/Style marking: there is no way to denote what note value gets the beat!! This makes the writer have to make a decision about how to mark the tempo in compound time like 12/8; do you mark the 8th note pulse or the dotted quarter note pulse? What if the song is in cut time? There should be a way to clarify this. As far as style markings: although you could use the subtitle for a style marking, it would be great if there was a text box in the upper left hand corner beneath the tempo marking where you could write the style of the song.
Again, I love the app, and I hope that I’m wrong about these few issues and that I’ve overlooked how to get around them, but I think most users would agree that fixing these issues would take the app to the next level. Thanks!

Great but no Footswitch support
Really like the App. Easy To use, create and export files. Which is what I need to do since my Bluetooth footswitch doesn‘t turn pages in this App. I hope there will be the option soon.
Other that that, it isn‘t the pretiest and the menues can seem a little clustered. i also wished you could import little pictures of notation/ tabs for Riffs etc. But it does its Job and I
Wouldn‘t want to miss it anymore.

Excellent for musicians! Wished it has a version for iPhone.
This is an excellent app for those who want to chart songs using the Nashville Numbering System. It is very easy to use. The only thing that keeps me from giving it full marks of five stars is that it only works on an iPad. I do wish it can work on an iPhone as well, that way when I don’t have my iPad with me, I can still use my iPhone to chart songs and be able to sync charts between my two devices.

Alignment issue, please fix!
I’m a full time musician in Nashville. I play on Lower Broadway regularly and the number system is how we communicate down there. First let me say most of the features on this app are awesome. I would use it for everything but paper charts still have the edge because of ONE issue…when you do ANY slash chords, split measures, or add repeat signs it throws off the alignment of that line which is hard to read. The chords don’t line up with each other vertically down the chart. (You can even see it in the screen shots of the app on the App Store) Each chord on the chart should be squared up on a grid system. The jagged lines make this app borderline unusable for a high pressure sight reading situation. Yes, I’m aware of the “align measures” feature but that wastes valuable screen space and still sometimes doesn’t line up right when there are lots of changes or multiple columns. I need all chords (regardless of modifiers) to fit squarely on the screen with ONE page in TWO columns. This is especially important with songs that have a lot of changes and large arrangements. Other than that, everything else in this app is fantastic. If the developer fixes this issue I will give 5 stars and never look back to paper charts. Thank you

Awesome App
I love everything about this app, EXCEPT...
It seems there’s a bug with the measure function. The more one uses the ‘box,’ it graphically moves upward toward the underline; thus, a graphic “crash” of sorts that makes it hard to select the box the further you go in the chart.

Great App
This app is great! One thing I can’t figure out is how to put an accidental on the bottom number in a slash chord. Like if I wanted 1m/3b.... the b always ends up on the top chord. Am I doing something incorrectly? If this is not possible, please look into making it possible for a future update. That is the only thing preventing this app from being perfect for me. Thanks y’all!

I’m a fan
I am a complete fan of this app. It’s easy to work with and addresses most musical situations intuitively. I’ve been using it for quite a while and do all my session and live work on it. It’s definitely a time saver and makes great looking charts. I’d love to see an update that allowed greater ability to write rhythmic and musical lines with numbers over it for signature licks or fills or solos. Thanks guys. Great work!
