Total crap

Wish I had my money back. Not useful at all.

Highly annoying to use

Missing some very common sense items, difficult to edit or ad real world items that are needed. No mic stand symbols, amateur looking powers symbols, can’t edit input list, no drumkit symbol have to add individually.

Takes way too much time to do this! I’m a pro touring guy and would never want to present the results from this to experienced sound guys or stage managers!

You can indicate mic stand types by editing the labels for the mics. You can edit the input list by editing the name and channel number for each input item on the stage plot. For drum kits, you can build your kit and then select all items to copy and paste to different stage plots. One of the sample stage plots has a basic kit you can start with.

Probably the worst app ever made.

This is the worst app I have ever used! There isn’t even a “drum kit” option...you must build a kit with little circles. Couldn’t find any monitor options and the “other items” just messes up what ever frustrating work you already had laid out. I’ll be asking for my money back, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS. Far to complicated for something that should be easy and simply to use.

One of the sample stage plots has a basic drum kit you can start with. The monitor options are listed under Outputs.

Not practical, awkward ux

Can’t zoom in to work on detail areas. Text for input list is too small to read/edit. I love the setlist maker app and assumed this “sister” app would have the same well thought out interface.

You can zoom by spreading outward with two fingers. The input list should be legible when you print it, or view on a tablet, but editing on a phone will be more difficult because of the small screen size.

Extremely helpful but limited

This definitely helps to present an idea but I would love to see more cymbals for smaller midi keyboards, string instruments, wind instruments, and the ability to change sizes of each cymbal for stage proportions.

Does the job, but room for easy improvements

Bought the app to make simple stage plots for my bands, and it does just that. With some minor additions, it could be much better.

Suggestions:
Free-form label creations
Symbols for smaller instruments
Adjustable stage size
Power box indicators
Graphic for band members
Drum kit graphic (instead of Indv drums)

Wouldn't recommend paying for it until these simple additions are made.

Freeform labels: on my wish list. Symbols for smaller instruments: no plans to add; see app description. Adjustable stage size: currently the whole page is your stage, but you don't have to use the full area. Power box indicators: already included. Graphic for band members: already included. Graphic for entire drum kit: not included, but if you set up a drum kit in one stage plot, you can copy and paste it to other stage plots.

Worthless unless your band consists only of keyboards and cymbals

Silly me for not reading the reviews. Arlo, I like your other apps; why did you take my $4 and why did you put this on the app store?

Terrible!!!

Was this app designed by a 5th grader? No text parameters. No riser size adjustment. Terrible!

Boo

Partly my fault for not checking the other reviews, but seriously, this is just crap. You can't resize anything, no mic stands, no horns, everything just gets listed on the side in the order you add it to the plot with no way to edit. Mixes inputs and monitors together on the list. You can add labels to the items, but that label doesn't show up next to the item. What's the point? The examples look much better than anything you can actually come up with in the app. Save your money.

Please read the app description for an explanation of the available instrument icons. The input list will be ordered by channel if you specify a channel number for each input. Monitors are included in the Outputs list, not the Inputs list. As of version 1.2, you can include labels on the plot as well as in the lists. The examples were created with the app, so you should be able to create something similar.
