Essentially Worthless-kiss $3.99 away
Not easy to figure out, the app gets in the way instead of clearing the way- not sure what i expected for $3.99 But Stage -g*r* app is much more user friendly and quick, for $2 bucks more…sorry guys-work on this one. Even for FREE it doesnt do it.
Not worth the 3.99
You can do more on word
Well worth the price
While I agree with many other reviews that I wish I could visually represent instruments like guitars and basses and such, I don’t see that as a reason to knock more than a star off this app. It does what it needs to do well and intuitively. Many reviews just didn’t bother to actually learn how to use the app. The only other thing I’ve encountered so far is wishing for more options for the display of inputs and outputs. Like being able to resize those elements or have them overflow to a second column if necessary, and such. For example my outputs list had 5 outputs and then a bunch of space to the right so I couldn’t seem to move it over as much as I wanted.
Still well worth $4 and gets the job done. I’m a long time avid Band Helper user but don’t want to pay double what I pay now when the only extra module I need is the Stage Plot so I decided to take a chance with this stand alone instead. Hopefully it keeps getting developed and improved but even as is, I’m quite happy with it.

Don’t buy, impossible to use
Useless mess.
WHAT A MESS!
This is the 2nd Stage Making app that completely wasted my time and money. WHERE ARE THE INSTRUMENTS? There is more in a band than pianos drums and violins. Where are the guitars? Basses? Keyboards? The owner says he replies to e-mails? Where is his e-mail because I want my $4.00 back.

The app description explains how inputs versus instruments are handled. I didn't receive any messages about this app around the date you posted your review.
Total Junk
The illustrations are bad. You can’t resize them. The inputs are very limited. This should not cost money. Please read reviews before purchasing.
target audience missed. so much nothing here
Creating a plot is very basic and a bit labor intensive. you get to use circles and squares to build a drum kit and the circles are the same size for toms and cymbals. i could do better creating my own Icons in a word program with far more shape options to choose from. The "instruments" category doesn't even include guitars or amps, and most icons seem very geared to stage hands and techs rather than performers who usually see a stage plot in terms of where the amps go... not mics, DI's and PA lines.
There are some interesting features like the list that populates inputs and outputs but that again is only moderately useful to a performer and better suited to the audio tech.
Which begs the question to the developer, who was this App actually designed for?
After reading a few reviews, (some as many as 4 or 5 years ago), it appears similar requests, concerns, and issues echoed my own.
So I contacted the developer via their support to pitch the idea of making some changes and although response was same day, it never felt like my concerns were addressed, rather it came off as dismissive with a, "learn how to use our product because were not going to change anything" tone attached.
Anyways, on that note, I will find my own solution to share with my clients. As for the $6.00CA,
meh, keep it. At least you responded.

To answer your question, the app was designed for musicians to communicate their needs to the tech crew at a venue. It does include icons for amps to show their positioning. As for more detailed drum shapes and sizes, we believe a simplified diagram style is easier to read and better suited to the task than realistic images of instruments. We're sorry to sound dismissive and hope you would not take it personally if we prefer to stick to this vision for the app.
Horrible
The most amateur app I’ve ever encountered .
It should be pretty straightforward but it’s not. It’s missing very important features such as, instruments, mic stands, amps.
Do not buy it !

SCAM!!
You cannot even put guitar or bass on the stage plot. Also there is no drum set. Highly unusable!!!
Utter tosh
What a waste of £3.49 (I know, it’s not exactly £££, but still!). Genuinely, don’t consider this if you’re looking to do a professional stage plan. I reverted back to creating something far more accurate on my laptop which might take a bit of time, but is not nearly as time consuming as waiting for a reply from the ‘help’ on this, and I should have trusted my gut in the first place. Ahhh well, live and learn.
