User reviews

They’ve worked out the kinks!

If you tried this app early on and found your songs would disappear occasionally, I’m happy to report that that has not happened in the past year. They finally figured out whatever it was that was causing that and it works great now - very reliable!

Mostly unreliable & poor service

Several of our band members have been using the app for years. Had several reliability problems over the years. This last practice for an important gig the app quit working for all our members. All the work in our library is now inaccessible as the app isn’t working. Reported problem but no response. Now searching for more reliable solution and canceling service.

Great App

Great app, I would normally give it a 5 but since I can’t find a way to submit an issue.

Today 08/24 we tried using for church like we normally do but the app keeps going black and doesn’t work. We made sure everything was updated tried uninstalling and reinstalling. We have about 200 songs typed up. It’s a great app and super user friendly. Wish there was an easier way to reach out for help.
Once the bug fixes are fixed I’ll update

Very frustrating

I got a new iPad. My old account doesn’t sync. I was due to re up on premium. I did so. It won’t recognize me. I nay found tech support by searching the comments. The tech support button does nothing. I emailed support. Got nothing back. So I’ll have to go back through apple-again- to try and get a refund. Other band members are also just as frustrated

Ok but

It’s a good app for reading lyrics while you’re singing, but it has a problem between various devices that are shared on the same account.
