Leave a Review Set List Maker
The best app of its kind available
I used setlists for a long time but it hasn’t been updated in years and gets buggier over time and as OS changes occur so I’ve been searching for an alternative. I tried so many others and none did everything I wanted, or just felt as good as setlists did in its heyday. Having used BandHelper in the past I decided to give this one a go (I rarely need lyrics apps unless it’s a last minute gig or I suddenly have to learn a lot of new songs, otherwise I prefer the more professional approach of knowing the tunes and not having an iPad on stage). This app does everything I need an more and does it elegantly. It just feels great and works. I just input over 100 songs using the built in lyric search and it went smoothly and quickly. Finally, I think I can stop looking for “something better.”
To the developer: please a million times, please, never keep this app alive forever! I’m so dependent on it now and I hope I can keep using it for the rest of my life!Show lessNosfar
I want my money back
In the begging the app was good, now I can not work with it! Why did you change the things they made this app great? How to work now?kambata1
Keeps getting better
This app is pretty amazing!
It just keeps getting better. Great job Arlo for making it easier for musicians to create set lists and keep different collections of songs at your fingertips. So many great features in this app. I use this exclusively for set lists now. I am in three different projects and it’s very helpful with different singers, musicians, genres of music, etc. fabulous communication from the developer as well. Very timely and informative. Huge fan!Show lessScott Dix
Update even worse
Update: upon updating the app it’s now officially completely useless. Unbelievable. Whoever developed this trash ought to be ashamed of themselves. Enjoy my five dollars you conned out of megeetarpicker9000
Setlist Maker- excellent support
I’ve been using this app live for quite a while now and have always had great results as it has done exactly what I wanted it to do. I had never any reason to contact tech support until recently when I was having an issue using Standard Midi Files to trigger lighting in time with my backing tracks. The problem was quite complex and involved a fair amount of correspondence but Arlo had the issue solved really quickly once the problem was fully identified. An update was released within a couple of days of the solution being found and it works perfectly the way I need it to. Definitely worth 5 stars for the tech support alone !Show lessDreygon9
Terrible
I wanted this to work and I spent a lot of time with it. It’s not intuitive at all. The features have to be implemented from different pages. Ultimately, it just did not work. I got a few replies from tech support that we’re not helpful. Sad.Titus500
Not good at all anymore
You have to fix it this is so badfer fer fer 2
Everything I wanted and more.
This app is extremely customizable, and is feature rich. It does everything I need and quite a bit more. Seems like the complexity may be off putting to some users, but definitely not for me. I really appreciate how much capability this app has, and it was well worth learning how to use the advanced features.
One time I found a bug in the app. I opened a help desk ticket and developer was very responsive. They fixed the bug quickly. Very impressed with this app. Keep up the good work!Show lessnachos are delicious
Idiosyncratic but usable app— watch out for downgrades
I really hate it when functionality I depend on is suddenly removed. I was standing on the band stand, having said "sure I can do that tune" but when I go to the songs section my buttons to charts and lyrics are suddenly no where to be found, so then the whole band has to wait for me while I find a work around. This is just poor developer etiquette. Smart lists are not a work around— it means I have to make 5 clicks instead of 3 which is already 2 more than it needs to be. Sometimes I end up needing to get to a chart while the song is underway, so the amount of thinking you have to do to find it can really matter. Can't the last used song database come up as the start page? Also save functionality should really be automatic because that is the norm these days.Show lessmheg____
Developer Response
The Songs list is meant for editing. See here for better options while performing: http://forum.arlomedia.com/index.php/topic,2281.0.html Also, the save functionality is automatic; there is a manual save button, but it is optional.A must for the performing musician!
Use this on the road and in local gigs with different bands. Don't know what I would do without it!!!Oz Chapman
