Crashes a Lot!
Very nice app, but crashes too much to trust it on a gig.
No Support
Has been great except that I cannot email scores and can’t get help with that function. There is no one out there!

No full screen for iPad Air
Used for many years successfully but upon upgrading to iPad Air - GigBook does not use full screen and there is no way to get support from the forum as there is no way to become registered. Seems to be no longer supported. Moving on.
Skip this and get iGigBook
This app hasn't been updated in years and the problems I've been having will probably never be fixed. I’ve moved on to iGigBook which has many more features with regular updates and very helpful technical support.
Thanks
All of a sudden I can add scores saved to Google-Drive! Thanks a bunch. Dropbox has gotten too expensive to upgrade.
The Best
Deep dish GigBook is the best PDF chart management app available for gigging musicians. They should charge a subscription… it’s worth much more than $10 for life!
The app is broken again with no support
Like many of you, I’ve become reliant on some apps for my day to day work. Gigbook is one. It was a four star app. This app has always been how I access my sheet music and connect to corresponding audio. As of the last Couple of iOS updates, the app has a few big problems. The biggest, for me, is that it crashes if I try to connect an audio track to a sheet. The other problem is the worst: no support. No replies. No updates. Which is awful. This was the case for a while. The app was abandoned and then, thankfully, picked back up and cared for. This no longer seems to be the case.
DeepDish: if you still exist and are reading this; please do not abandon this app and please fix the big bugs.
Latest bugs as of 11/23 iOS update:
*Can no longer input time signature. GUI turns white.
*Can no longer connect songs to Apple Music tracks. Existing song connections require tapping play (which does nothing) then stop and then play again.
*Super bookmark is busted. When trying to super-bookmark a page from a collection, the selected page can vanish and the screen suddenly flips to the end of the book collection.
*When trying to add songs to collection from “recently added” the most recent song is hidden because the list hides the top song.

Best for sorting
Best music score arrangement app I’ve come across. Very easy to add, delete, re-arrange the order of songs ect. After downloading to WORD and editing, set to landscape and save as pdf to Dropbox.
Now the bad. Dropbox is way too expensive to increase once filled. I wish DD GigBook would allow iCloud or google drive to work on the app!

New review
No longer useful. No one is monitoring the app!
With the new update from apple, almost nothing works!
Can’t put charts into set lists or folders, can’t even email sets.
Click on settings, and help, the app closes.
I’ve used it for years. Looks like I’ll have to go to forScore.
Very frustrating!
I've used GigBook for a few years now and love the app. I play several instruments and in 2 bands and do a solo project as well. This app can take your pdf files and you can put them into as many folders/binders and set lists as you need. Its easy to navigate to find songs or even collections/books that you download by just clicking from your iTunes account. Easy and handy as well. You can reverse pinch and make the page bigger, ad highlights or annotations. I use it with my iPad and don’t go to any practice or jam without it. Plus, the admin is very responsive to input! Highly recommended!

Great for the basics; needs an update

-syncs great with dropbox
-easy to learn and read menus and options
things i want it to do:
-transfer to my other devices
-transfer to another use without wifi
-stop crashing when trying to link audio samples to a chart
-read a document other than a .pdf

No longer Works
Had used this app and liked it for years. Be aware that it does not work on new M based iPads. Very disappointed and to switch to forscore
No longer functional
I had used this app since it’s inception and hate to leave a bad review but it does not work on my new iPad. I am assuming since it hasn’t been updated in years that the company, no longer exists. I am switching to forscore unfortunately
Excellent
I have been using this app for many years and, contrary to the reports from others, has worked almost flawlessly all this time. I am a gigging musician and the ability to catalog, classify, organize and easily access my pdf charts, is priceless. I can make set lists which are really simple to manage on stage. I can email to myself and band members the set lists, with accompanying notes. I manage and import my chart files using Dropbox to store the files although there are other options. 4 stars rather than 5 because nothing is perfect but this app has never let me down. 4.8 stars would be a better rating

Brilliant!
We've been using GigBook for quite a while now and can't fault its ease of use and functionality. The new email function is just what we've been asking for and is intuitive and easy. Now one person in the band can make changes and everyone gets an exact copy even annotations! Lovin' GigBooks! Mike Onn
March 2022:
Its been 4+ years since Deepdish has done any work in this app.
I still use it every gig and rehearsal without a hiccup but im concerned by the lack of support and updates.

Can’t link iTunes anymore
I spent hundreds of hours on this app. And when I had to update my iPad, I lost most my files. There is NO support for this app.
I really don’t know why Apple still has this on there site.

Used to work. Doesn't anymore.
I was the biggest cheerleader of this app but they have allowed it to languish with too many bugs and reduced features.
Sadly, it's useless now for anything that requires dependability.

Update issue
I have loaded this app years ago and now this app required an update? I tried to update but it mentioned I needed to agree on terms and conditions. It wouldn’t bring up the terms and conditions to agree on. So I couldn’t update. so I had to delete old app icon and reload. Well, it required me to pay 9.99 to upload. So I guess this app you have to pay for now? I believe it was free back when I got it. What happened to grandfather us old timers? There are better apps out there.
