  • Downgraded- App getting worse

    downgraded to 2 stars - good for organization, playlists. But they removed the very functions I gave them 5 stars for! I wrote a 5 star review about 2 years ago, which still shows up on their app reviews. I thanked the developers for adding ½ page scroll for pdf files at my request and for the way they fixed pagination of pdf files. I use pdf lead sheets and sheet music exclusively since I find Chordie file format to be useless. These functions disappeared with no warning last year and have not come back. I’m in the process of switching to a better music reader. I guess they got my money...

  • Really Great App

    Had a problem recently where it was quitting soon after start up because I had some multi-page PDFs in the library that were causing a memory crash... but since I removed those files from my Dropbox everything seems to work fine again.

    This is a really great app, has terrific functionality. Love the easy editing, transposing, organising playlists, and live scrolling. I have over 700 songs and use this app all the time.

    It’d be good if the trashcan delete symbol wasn’t so close to the symbol for editing song order, I’ve accidentally hit that a few times when reordering playlists.
    There’s also sometimes a glitch when inputting chord symbols sometimes it forgets to close the square bracket and I have to do it manually... but generally the interface is really easy and great for fast edits. Really useful tab creating feature as well.

    Well recommended.

    Could be caused by a faulty PDF in your song library. The new version 4.9.1 makes searching PDFs optional so should no longer crash.
  • SOG directives

    I think I like the automatic set up 4.9.1 provides for the SOG tag, but I would like it even more if the various component bits would appear in the little selection bar above the keyboard much like the chords appear. Example: |: <space>

    Would also like to see end bar |. correctly implemented.

  • It would have been 5 stars but no iCloud

    I have the app on my Mac Pro, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro, and it gets the songs perfectly there. I truly love the Mac version. However the iPad App only does DropBox, GoogleDrive and Microsoft cloud sharing, or manual sharing thru Files App, which makes it almost totally useless for me. If you can do without iCloud, I strongly recommend it. However I don't use any of those cloud file systems , so it has become totally useless. In the three and a half years time period I have owned this App, I have used it 3 times. The third time being tonight, and discovering, again, why it is useless to me. I can download the songs piece by piece, but what a pain. In this day and age, it is infuriating to find an App that doesn't automatically sync on iCloud. If you want iCloud sync, stay away, if it is not important for you, then by all means get it.

  • Crashes

    App crashes after lastest update
  • Great easy to use. Super practical!

    I had been using this app for a long time now and I can recommend it!
    I have a extensive amount of songs that I use every Saturday for worship and this app had become my little helper. I can connect my songs from iPhone to iPad and I can transpose chords in a fly with no problem.
    Dev is updating this in timely manner and they responded quick when I pointed to a bug.

    Anyone having a problem with keyboard disappearing when trying to edit a song. I have to reboot ipad to get keyboard to come back on. I can edit some and it will do it again.
  • Song Book

    I’m a disabled pensioner and have limited tech knowledge. I’ve tried on numerous occasions to contact you for help. Unfortunately the only help you provided was your standard help email which is no use to me. So I contacted Apple App Support who advised me to contact you this way.

    I paid and downloaded Song Book app and have no music or songs except Greensleeves. You really need to realise your Apps are purchased by Senior citizens too and they need extra support.
