What's New in BandHelper

2026-08-07

August 9, 2026

* Updated the workflow for editing app control actions. When you select an action on the Settings > App Control page, you can now access all the available triggers from expandable lists within the same window. You can also click the Learn button, then send a message from a Bluetooth, MIDI or Flic device (including double-click and hold gestures) to select that trigger automatically. And you can remove individual triggers directly from the Settings > App Control page, without selecting the action and the trigger category first. • Added default app control actions for new app installations: Previous/Next Song on Up/Down Arrow, Previous/Next Page on Left/Right Arrow, Send MIDI on Song Selection and Start/Stop Auto-Scroll and Start/Stop Recording on Two-Fingered Tap. * Updated the Import button on the Repertoire > Songs page to include two options, Documents and Recordings. Both options allow multiple file selections and will create a new song for each file selected. The Documents option supports a mixture of files that will be attached to a song (PDF, JPEG) and files that will be parsed directly into the song fields (ChordPro, OnSong). • Removed the playlist import function. • Updated the main menu shortcuts so that navigating back from a shortcut takes you to the module menu instead of the main menu. • Moved the Attachments section after the Lyrics section on the song edit page. • Moved the Size through Loop settings after the Active setting on the document edit page. • Updated the song search function in the set list view to include custom fields. • Fixed a problem where background color formatting at the start of the Lyrics field would be copied to the spaces between ChordPro chords. • Fixed some situations where the transpose buttons were enabled even though no chords were present. • Added Settings > Advanced > Audio & MIDI > Hardware Sample Rate in case your device doesn't automatically select the sample rate for a connected audio interface. • Removed the warning message from empty picker windows if the picker window has an add button. • Removed the help tips from the Repertoire menu.

Great App

Used it for years. Unbelievable functionality on gigs and at home.

A truly committed developer

At last! A well written app from someone who is obviously committed to providing a great experience to his users. I cannot recommend this highly enough. So many features, all well executed. Thank you!

On a different level!

Absolutely great app. All the features, central control with local device caching for rock solid reliability on stage, you can make it work around your workflows, reusable set lists, music, notation, midi files, gig booming, calendar, info sharing, different views and music per person. It’s the ultimate band app, much more than just set lists. It runs our bands world and has taken a massive load of me with organisation. You’ve tried the rest, try the best. Love it!
