Best of the chord lyric apps
This is a fantastic app. I wanted to find a means to have all the songs I know available in an easily readable chord lyric format suitable for playing acoustic piano versions and this is it. It's very easy to use, songs are easy to edit and put in the correct chords (there are a lot of errors in the Chordie songs in terms of chords) You can even just download lyrics and input your own chords from scratch. The ability to link songs to iPod songs is great too as I have mp3 backing track versions of most of the songs I play which is great for checking chords/ arrangements and having the full backing with you whenever you need it. Another great feature is being able to change the key of all the chords at the push of a button on the fly. I now have my songs with me at all times on my iPad and iPhone all synced and backed up on Dropbox. Brilliant - Where's that piano?Show lessMikeyReds
Very handy & well designed
I use this little app more and more each day. Well done!!!Twango
Best yet
I have tried several other aps for this purpose all have been hopeless so I had low expectations. This is the first one that all our band members like and has finally made the iPad the weapon of choice for practice as well as gigs. Had a bit of trouble trying to import via dropbox but found the search function the best way to import directly from Chordie and other sites. Love the ability to change key and the ease of editing. A truly well thought out ap and much appreciated. Thanks guys.Show lessD-ranger2

Great program. It has some irritations though. After editing and resaving a text file, I cannot work out how to force an immediate update via Dropbox. Replacing the file via iTunes does the trick but you must have your iPad connected to do that.
Nevertheless, the instant transposition of chords makes this a must have for young guitarists.
I have found that setting up a template with the maximum number of lines down and characters across in both wide and narrow orientation make setting new songs up a lot easier. Monospace font of course.Show lessBenzpace
A must for all musicians, a beginners dream.
I have had this app and others like it for a long time. The updates for this one though have set it apart by miles. It is to the point where I can't make any suggestions to make it better. It is great for showing how to play chords, so even a novice can play their favorite song. For the more advanced pro gigger. It is a great reference and a on the fly uploader to find those songs randomly requested. Editing is made easy so you can modify or just write your own song and chords. Top marks for this tool.Show lessPeering
Songbook chordpro
Great app. It syncs with Dropbox so I can seamlessly use it across iPhone and iPad and can edit songs on it. It even turns tabs (chords above lyrics) into chordpro format which can be transposed. I recommend it.BWE2
Songbook Chordpro
A great app. Very easy to use. I am using it to lead worship in church running it from my iPad2 into a data projector via a long HDMI cable.Alminal
Song book app
Wicked app. The only way I could see an improvement is if I could sync the scrolling function with lyrics section of the mp3 backing tracks I use for gigs. Lol. The Tap, zoom and auto fit the screen to see lyrics and chords better on the screen is really helpful. Something else I think is helpful is helpful is clicking on the chord mid song and various chord versions are available. There is only one song on there when you download it but I used the google search on the app and the song lyrics and chords downloaded in seconds. All in all great app. Just wish i could sync it with my mp3 backing tracks.Show lessMatti Biskit
I like it, I use it EVERY DAY (no lie). It
It's not perfect, so I'll withhold a star for now, but it's still awesome. It's been a huge help with managing all of the song sheets I need to reference for various gigs. I'd like to see the interface for editing song lists and categories because it's just not as slick as everything else in this app. You can drag songs into the app through iTunes and you can drag them OUT to your computer as well. It's MUCH easier to find songs & import them using the iPad, however.
ChordPro files are helpful, but they have their limitations--if you use the handy "search-the-net-and-import" functionality (which is INCREDIBLY slick and awesome) you need to CAREFULLY review the document you find. Shared ChordPro documents are full of errors. But this isn't a problem with the software. I've organized all of my band's covers and put them in this software and I now use my iPad at almost every jam session and gig. Now, if someone calls out something I don't know yet I can find it in on my iPad and I'm all set. This (and the RealBook app) are MUST HAVES for any musician with an iPad!!!Show lessNonaligned
