Great App but you need to read songs in edit mode as in view mode the chords are bunched up. Otherwise very useful.Nannawill
Save yourself some frustration
I don't know how many times I had to start over in edit mode. This app is clunky and non responsive. When I did finally get a song finished, I tried to email the chart. The app looked like it would use my current contacts but when I clicked to add them in the send field all it added was the name, no address. You would be better off with Onsong or iGigbook.Show lessjeaupe
Getthisapp
I cannot say enough how great this app is if you are simply looking for something to replace your 4,000 page binders with all your centuries old hand written or printer generated lyrics. It lets you download lyrics ( cut/paste ) from your favorite site ( mine is "epic lyrics" ) and simply copy into a new file in this program, then apply the key ( even has transpose for guitar with capo ) and write the chords directly above the words to easily follow along. Anyone that can't figure this thing out has just not spent a reasonable moment of time with it.
For the songs that I need just a chart, I simply type it in using symbols between the alphabetical letter names ... Ex: BbM7 | Cm | D7b5 | Gm.... Etc
For under 5 bucks.... Just get it!!!Show lessZombie tacular
Enjoyable songbook ap that lets you put your own songs in!
Many of the programs that I tried only allow you to download chord charts, and not input your own songs from scratch... MySongbook is the exception, which is great for me because I'm a professional musician with a huge songbook of my own original material. MySongbook handles that task neatly.
The only thing I might like to see included in future versions is the ability to format the lyrics. When a song calls for a duet, I usually differentiate between the parts by putting one singer's lyrics in italics... MySongbook will not yet let me do that, and I'm half@$$ing it by marking each line with hashtags, but italics or bold would definitely be better.
Keep it up, and I look forward to using the program and hopefully seeing further updates :)Show lessLorien Patton
Review
Early days but I'm very impressed. Just what I was looking for. Well done.OzMaz
Great app
Been waiting for something like this for a long time. The one problem is that I can't line up the chords. If this problem could be fixed, that would be great!cherishedge18
Poor not friendly at all
I just purchased this app assuming that it was an update of an earlier product that was named the same. What was found was that it is difficult to navigate and there is no search capability that was part of the old product. When going to the apps help section, it was under construction and not available. I did ask for a credit to my account and I would be happy to delete this app. It does not deliver what it says it will as far as I am concernedShow lessMichaelHarrisonMills
Minor key problems
I was very happy when you updated the program to be able to select between major OR minor keys but the minor keys seem to be a bit buggy. The Nashville numbers and letter chords do not match. There seems to be a minor 3rd displacement (i.e. in the key of Bm 1m is displayed as Dm instead of the correct Bm).
Great app and great functionality. I use it everyday. I will be glad when this bug is fixed, though.Show lessRCmusic1
Deleted all my work
When inspiration hit to write a song I quickly typed it into this app, thinking it would be a great place to edit and continue working on my song, and when I pressed done it deleted the entire thing. Thinking I must have pressed something wrong I thought oh well, I can remember most of it and it needed changing anyhow, I typed it in again. I pressed the done button and found my work deleted once more. So, so frustrating and what a useless app if you can't even add songs to it. In my frustration I have now forgotten most of my piece. In the future, I think I will stick to napkins.Show lessmunch_munchster
Just short of perfect
I MUCH prefer the overall interface of MySongbook compared to SongWriter. The universal app was also a key factor.
The display style of songs is perfect especially since you can choose the font.
However, the bottom menu is useless as I have to keep minimising the keyboard in edit mode to access it which is truly annoying - so I hope the bottom menu gets moved to the top of the screen in a future update.
Would be nice for the rhyme/synonym feature from SongWriter to be added to this app. Also, having a major/minor chord key chart built in would save me having to exit the app to look it up online. Or better still, auto detection of the key.
This could easily replace a competitors app as my main song writing app with some tweaks.Show lessStarscream67
