Garbage

You can’t even add a song on your iPhone, it all has to be do via iTunes. So backwards… give this a miss it’s an absolute rip off.

Used to be great…

Unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated to deal with the removal of the app transfer function in iTunes - so there’s no way to add files to it anymore.

Just What I Needed!

I love this app. It has just the right amount of functionality without a lot of extra complications. I gig in multiple bands, mostly as a keyboard player (so it doesn’t have to be just lyrics). I make my lead sheets and print them as PDFs, AirDrop them to the iPad into My Lyric Book. Set lists can be made for multiple bands/events with different sets of song selections, and edited/re-ordered (drag and drop) as shows evolve. And the low price! Thank you

Useless app.. please someone make something better

No option to delete duplicate lyrics.. embarrassingly basic and clunky.. please come up with an update which makes editing easier and I’ll consider changing my review

Everything and then some

This is an amazing app for a performing cover band musician like me. I read some of the low star reviews and I don’t get it. It seems like they didn’t spend a couple minutes in the app before using it. They just expected it to work the way they imagined it to. Ian’s support is fast and intelligent. It is loaded with features, even some I don’t use, and is extremely easy to load charts from Google Drive. I’m trying to talk my keyboard players into using it so they can get automatic patch changes and we won’t have to wait for them during performances. And it’s almost free! How can anyone complain about the price !? I hope they sell a million of them!

A great app

I use this app a lot and find it extremely useful. I have it on both an iPad and my iPhone. Very easy to load in songs in word or pdf format using ITunes .
If the app allowed auto scrolling on song sheets I’d give it five stars and I’d ask the developer to consider adding this feature

FANTASTIC APP!

Hi, I have been using this app for years and love it.

The only thing I would like is if you could have the choice of a white or dark background. I find the white background is distracting when using it in a performance.

Thanks! Kellie🙂

My Lyric Book

I have used this app on stage and at rehearsals and studio and at singaround jam sessions for as long as it has existed and I love it but a few issues with it have cropped up for my use anyway:
1. There is no built in search engine to find random requests and such like.

2. I was using it with backing tracks(mainly my own) but now I can’t load up my latest backing tracks, as the only backing track option is to choose from my iTunes purchases library, which I can no longer update, due to stupid legal reasons!
Why can’t you just use or enable the app to link to an MP3 player instead of having to use iTunes? My old iPad 1 still plays everything beautifully, but I can’t update the machine because it is too old, and software updates aren’t available for it!

I’m able to use the app and load all my PDF lyrics and even JPEGs on my subsequent two iPads which are newer, but still can’t load a batch of backing tracks! Very annoying. I’m currently experimenting with using a different stand alone mp3 player, but I’m having troubles trying to find the correct tracks when I need them to play, due to the small display and lack of search and cue functionality of the aforementioned MP3 player.

Have you any plans to update the app with this functionality or do you have any helpful suggestions as to how I should get around these issues??? Would really appreciate your help thanks!👍🎼🙂.

Absolute rubbish. Don’t waste you money.

Dreadful app - the developer cannot be a gigging musician to have produced something as unpractical as this. You cannot move lyrics already installed on your iPad or smartphone directly to this app. You have to use a computer with iTunes to generate a suitable file for transferring your lyrics to this app. I have all my lyrics on my iPad already contained in Apple’s Notes app - they are not on my computer as I back up to iCloud. Also you cannot copy and paste lyrics from the Internet and paste them directly into this app.

I bought this App for ease of use and speed. I do not want to be faffing about moving files around between devices to get this to work, which, presumably, it does eventually.

So many unintuitive moves

I’ve been using this app for years and if it wasn’t for being so vested in it already, I’d go elsewhere. It’s painful….
