  • No love for mac users?

    Please add Mac OS functionality. What a great idea for an app for those who use BB but for those of us who use Mac, its currently kind of pointless : ( will change to five stars when mac functionality added.
  • Don't buy

    Non functional, non intuitive, worthless waste of time and money. I have used desktop version on and off since early 90's and though I'm amazed at how little progress PG music has made I can at least use it for something. This? No.
  • Ronan

    Does not playback the same as the desktop version it's useless to me.
  • Boo

    Boo bad
  • No Mac

    Enter IP address for server. What does that mean?

    Again no Mac

    Well. I guess they don't know the answer. Otherwise they would answer.

    So far this app doesn't do anything. You have to have an IP address for some server. But it doesn't say what or where the server is. I guess I'll delete it again until they tell me. Both of their apps seem to have the same problem. I have some friends who know how to create iOS apps maybe they would like a referral.
  • No on-gig functionality

    Apps like this make you wonder if PG Music knows who their customer is. I’ve run BIAB desktop for over 10 years and have taken audio exports on-stage but, once written as an audio file, can’t modify tempo, key, volume, instrument choice, etc., etc. My hope with this app was primarily be able to cut a voice should I have someone sit in, like a guitarist, where I could cut out that voice. Or maybe change the key should a vocalist show up. No way. Even though the app implies that it has these functions in its menu settings this is nothing more than a .mp4 audio player unless tethered to the BIAB server. You can make the function changes but when you try to “regenerate” the song it wants connection to your BIAB server at home. Not so hot when on a gig! I don’t mind having spent the small change for the app but when I found out I had to upgrade from BIAB 2011 to make it work I spent some hard-earned gig money….. for nothing more than an .mp4 player. I’m afraid for BIAB sake they're going to loose some loyalty in their fans if they trip them up with false hopes.
  • Horrible

    I don't think they could have made this more complicated if they tried. I'm pretty techy and this made NO sense to me!
  • Good

    Good
  • Works well

    Needs a prefs for remaining open when app is open. Continual closing is annoying, otherwise does what it suppose to do. Lets me take the band in the box songs from my computer with me so I can practice.
  • Very inconvenient and of poor quality you should be able to play the chords you input without wifi

    I shouldn't have to have wifi to use an app on my phone when I own band in a box the full software
