Easy to use. Great customer service.

Dropbox Assist

Love this app! This is the reason I bought my 1st iPad. Had to get rid of all those lyrics binders. Very timely help on fixing my access to Dropbox. We are good to go!

I have used DD GigBook for many years as my default pdf music chart file system on my iPad. Gone are the days of paper charts, pegs and attached lights blowing around on music stands. It’s easy to create set lists for a gigging jazz musician and amend the charts and make notations on the go. Good for sharing sets and charts with band members. The app and ipad allows easy page turning on the go. It has been very stable over the years and support when needed has been helpful and quick.
Highly recommended. As for future developments it would be good to have a direct camera link in the app where images could be automatically turned into PDF files and added to the charts.

Terrific app for musicians - Five Stars

I’ve used Deep Dish’s Gigbook on my IPad for quite a few years. It’s very reliable and not complicated to use. You do have to add music that is in PDF format. Once you do that, you can create set lists for any type of gig you might be playing and will save them, until you decide you don’t need them anymore. The program has a very good annotation feature that allows you to make personal notes on the scores. It also has a metronome feature that keeps a “visual” tempo. That are many other features that are included. I highly recommend it, and have, to many of my friends.

Do the job

When I annotate a score and then add it on a setlist, the annotations don’t follow so I need to redo it.
