Just what I was looking for!

This app has just what I was looking for to be able to use my iPad in place of set lists and lyric sheets on stage. It's great to be able to turn pages easily! Pinching to change font size is a bit challenging, but I can live with that - I just replace the lyric sheet with one using a larger font...no big deal. What a handy app for just $1.99!

Frustrating

I can't scroll, have to use stupid pedal, can't edit, can't invert white to black screen, can't change font or screen size effectively, can't change screen brightness, ughhh. Not a powerful app at all. Just a file folder with a metronome. Can't anyone make an app for musicians/singers that is useful? I would have sent this to developer e mail, like he suggested, but could not find address anywhere.

Good app but needs an auto scroll feature (without pedal) that you can set for each song/lyrics then it would be a great app. It's a pain having to stop playing to quickly scroll.

I have a simple one page lyric sheet that lives as a document in Pages on my iPad. I have just downloaded and paid for this lyrics app. Can anyone tell me how to get my lyric sheet out of Pages into My Lyric Book? ..anyone? ...Bueller?

First time used

Bought this to use in live performances on my iPad in conjunction with iKlick clamp for song lyrics.
Having been used to a book on a music stand, the difference in ease of use was incredible.
Instant access to the whole set list lyrics as well as any unexpected numbers thrown in.
It occasionally freezes for a short time but never once opened.
For singers it will make your life so much easier if, like me, you can't remember all of your lyrics!

Looks handy... would be much better with a couple of tweaks

A useful app; it could use a couple of minor adjustments though.
o Adjusting Font Size - reading a 10pt font on a text document from a music stand with my old eyes is a little difficult
o A way to "scroll"... maybe a timer? Some songs (i.e. American Pie) are LONG... and I would need them to scroll... can't stop playing to move the page, and have no clue where to get this page turner thing you keep referencing.
o You said to email you before a negative review, but I was unable to find an email address here, or on your support site, which allows no way to give feedback, ask questions, report bugs, etc.

It's a great concept, and I hope you address the above issues.

Guitar/sax/keysguy

This is a great app for a singer or singer/guitarist who just wants some lyrics laid out in front of him. I dont need to link songs, i can find my own lyrics, and i might want to write my own lyrics, complete with chords if necessary, so i dont need to search for lyrics within the app.
I can put songs in sets with this, very useful
I found that i needed to format my lyrics to make them work on the screen, but this is no problem.
I feel that using iTunes to import the lyrics is kind of a pain, but i am sure there is no other way to do it.
I would like the ability to edit font and alignment within the app, and would pay a dollar extra! ;-)
I will be purchasing an iPad holder for a mic stand, and now i have everything to take to a party, or a gig
This also another way cool feature...you can link a tune from your iTunes library to the lyric.....now you can have your backing tracks that you have made and store in your itunes library, linked to the lyric when you pull it up. Just press play and the tune plays and you can sing along with the lyrics...This app has amazing bang for the buck for a single musician!
Thank you very much!
Keep up the good work!

App Stalling issue

Overall this has the potential to be a great app, however on 2 separate occasions now, the app has let me down badly during live performances and frozen when I hit the back button to return to the list of songs. It caused me much embarrassment and I had to restart my iPad2 which was not ideal to say the least. Am now nervous about relying on it as a sole resource for live gigs and now have to take hard copy back ups just in case the app decides to stall/freeze again.

Easy and efficient

This lyric display app is simple, easy to use and very functional. Great way to get started with organising your lyrics and sets are easy to program. Tried a few but this one easiest to get working without hassles.

This is app is a lifesaver. I have gone from a binder full of lyrics that if by chance anyone banged into fell on the floor and made my life a living, particularly in the middle of a gig.
Then I went to a Music Pad pro, I thought that was the answer to all my problem, and was until now.
I use My Lyric on my iPad and life is grand. Very easy to use and fast to load lyrics.
