## What is Cue Master?

Cue Master is a elegantly simple track player for iPad targeted towards theatrical productions, talent shows, choreographers, dancers or other performers using backing tracks by allowing you to create Cue Playlists from your music library, Dropbox™ or Google Drive folder.

Unlike many cueing apps available, Cue Master is designed to be extremely easy to use and understand with the familiar layout of a standard music app. Unlike a music app, Cue Master allows for custom control over how songs are played back. Songs can be set to loop (repeat), stop at end, continue to the next song, or be skipped. Volume levels can also be easily set on a per song basis to fine tune your performance.

Create multiple Cue Playlists from albums or playlists downloaded in your music library on your iPad, from Dropbox™ or Google Drive, add, delete and reorder your cues.

For performers that need easy access from the stage, Cue Master provides a full screen mode to easily see the currently playing track and time, show run time as well as the next cued track. A central cue button also allows you to easily start your next track.

## Key features

- Create cue playlists
- Import from Music Library, Dropbox, Google Drive
- Custom playback control (loop, stop, continue, skip)
- Per-song volume adjustment
- Full-screen mode for stage view
- Central cue button for track control

### 5/5 — Great for live theater

*2025-08-20, version 1.3.3*

I have been using this app to play sound cues at our local community theater for years. It’s super easy to import a playlist from iTunes then all my cues are there ready to go. Very responsive and has never crashed on me. It is essential when I design sound for a show

### 1/5 — No support!

*2024-06-25, version 1.3.3*

Problems and troubleshooting have no support!

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2024-02-24*

Parfais

### 5/5 — How do I change my playlist title?

*2023-10-30, version 1.3.2*

Hello Kevin,
I love this app.  I only have one question, how do I change my playlist title?  I tapped on the edit button but that didn’t work.
Thanks,
Steve Jarrell

### 5/5 — Perfect! Does exactly what I needed

*2023-08-24, version 1.2.10*

I have a children’s theater troupe and I needed to be able to control sound effects from on stage with a Bluetooth remote. This works great! Easy to use. Very intuitive. Absolutely worth the price😄

### 5/5 — Best app for duos seeking big band backing

*2023-08-15, version 1.2.10*

I’ve been playing live since the 60s but eventually, everyone takes a break or slows down. From a quintet to a quartet to a trio and now a duo, I’m still able to create sequences with a full band sound to stay in it, using a minidisc player. But that was cumbersome so I thought I’d put tracks on my iPad. But how to make it work without having to push STOP at the end of the track. Searched everywhere until I found Cue Master! WOW!! My buddy and I sound like our old quintet!! Easy operation, transfer from my Library to Cue Master, stop after each track, adjust volume of each track individually, rearrange tracks with ease, just about everything you need for a live performance. The best software for any sequence combo. Thanks, Kevin Arnold, for a truly great product. What will you think of next??

### 5/5 — Straight to the point

*2023-05-08, version 1.2.10*

Love this app, easy to use, minimalist, all features needed at one tap!!!

### 5/5 — Stop and volume control are the most important features

*2023-01-29, version 1.2.10*

I downloaded Cue Master on my iPad, specifically to have individual tracks stop during performances, and it does that well. A bonus is that I can set volumes for each track so I don’t have to handle that before loading tracks into the program. The interface is easy to understand and I can easily import songs or folders from Dropbox. I had an issue with a delay on my speaker, but the issue was resolved. I contacted the developed and he responded instantly! Stunning! Cue Master is totally worth it.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2023-01-01, version 1.2.10*

So far, so good! Good job on app ;)

### 5/5 — CueMaster

*2022-12-15, version 1.2.10*

Great program. Exactly what I need for my gigs. Making up my sets as a breeze.
