Tapping Random again produces another random sort. • The search bar now stays at the top of every list. • Easily add your 15 most recently viewed scores to a Binder or Set List. Fixed • Plus stability fixes and refinements. Message from the DeepDish Dudes Dear users, we will be ending development of GigBook for iOS 15 after this build.

Very happy with this app

I've been using Gigbook for quite a while and am very pleased with it. I use the super bookmarking feature a lot to pull from songs in the Realbook PDFs I also store in it.
The keyboard player in the band also uses it and is pleased with it.
I've never had any hangs or crashes or anything like that. It's stable and dependable. Maybe the person who said that was maxed out on memory so it was more of a hardware issue.

=========================
I’m so glad that this is getting updates. It’s the best I’ve found at what it does and feared that it would cease to be supported and stop working under new OS releases.

Been using it for years

I have been using this app for the past 11 or 12 years. Although I have done some paid gigs, I do not consider myself to be a professional musician. I do participate regularly in a number of jam sessions. I like the ability to create Setlists and catalog my files by artist and genre. it does a lot of things for the price and it is easy to learn. I have always used dropbox to transfer my files.

Recently, dropbox ceased to support their platform on DD GigBook. I contacted DD GigBook support and they very quickly responded and got me on track as to how to continue using Dropbox. A few weeks later, I encountered another problem regarding dropbox. Again, I reached out to support at DD GigBook and again they very quickly got me back up and running.

I found their support to be excellent and would recommend this app for musicians such as myself.

Response from developer

Dear Ham Jam David, Happy to help! Just to clarify, DropBox didn't cease to support GigBook. We chose not to directly link to their SDK so we could offer a more universal service using Apple's sharing feature, so users can save and import files from anything that shares files, such as: DropBox or Google Drive, or iCloud to name but a few. Thanks for sticking with us and here's to GigBook being a useful tool for you when playing music! DDD

My favourite

I somehow used it since years… and after this long awaiting time it got update! Yuppi! I am so glad you guys finally took care of some tweeks, especially in share options. The only thing that is missing as option - would be somehow sharing a list in a form of a folder with songs separately.. thx for not giving up GigBook!

A satisfied musician who has used GigBook since 2010

The updated version is bodacious. So many aps promise but fail to deliver. This product delivers 110%. Even before the update it was better than other apps I tried-Far out MusicReader, Four Score and others. The instructions are easy, clean and concise. This product is OUTSTANDING. Customer service is amazing- I've never experienced better. They return emails practically immediately. EXCELLENT!
