Reliable
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.
A+ Experience with solution to a problem
Problem downloading after iPad update. Customer service gave me the solution next day. Have been using GigBook for years. Simply does what it is suppose to do. Has been a reliable tool I count on for every rehearsal and gig. Never let me down.
Help!
You’ve changed the format for uploading from Dropbox so that it’s no longer legible. WTF!
Love this App!
I’ve used this app weekly for 10+ years and love it. Does everything I require. Fast technical customer service too!
Verschlimmbesserung nach anfänglicher Freude
Es ist schon eine große Überraschung, wenn eine App nach Jahren mal wieder ein Update erfährt. Entsprechend natürlich die Vorfreude auf ein frisches Design und neue Funktionen. Umso größer dann aber die Enttäuschung, dass die App wohl nur verschlimmbessert wurde. Das Umblättern mittels Fußschalter in den Setlists funktioniert nur noch unzuverlässig, oft wird innerhalb von PDFs zwar weitergeblättert, zur nächsten wird dann aber nicht gesprungen. Manchmal aber schon.
Zwar ist die neue Import-Funktion nett, schade nur, dass, wenn man andersherum aus einer anderen App eine PDF in Gigbook exportieren will über den Teilen-Button, die App einfach abstürzt. Dass das altbackene Design bis auf Änderungen der Menüleisten unverändert blieb, setzt dem ganzen dann noch die Krone. Bei der unteren Seiten-Leiste hätte man zudem in Betracht ziehen können, dass ein Blättern durch die Seiten bei aktuellen iPads kaum möglich ist, da man unweigerlich den App-Changer von iPadOS berührt. Ein wenig höher und es würde viel besser klappen.

Can no longer turn pages with new update
I’ve been using GigBook for years without incident. Last nights gig was fine. Tonight…panic right at showtime! After the latest update, I can no longer turn pages within a set list, either manually or with the page turning pedal. I had to close every song and go back to the list to open the next song. This was VERY distracting and really hindered the flow of my gig since I spent way too much time poking my iPad after every song! If this isn’t fixed right away, I’m ditching GigBook!

Welcome Back!
I’m so glad GB is back with an update! It’s one of the best gigging apps around for REAL gigging musicians. I’ve used it for years and dreaded losing it due to no updates to keep up with iOS. Welcome back!
Fürs Hobby gerade ausreichend
Nach 3 Jahren Test und Vergleich mit anderen songbooks fällt Gigbook dramatisch zurück. Keine Doppelungen möglich, keine Dateisicherung, Kopplung mit Musiktitel völlig unzureichend, Notizen mit iPen nach hochladen unlesbar, service grausam (0 Reaktion), email abgeschaltet?
Das wars

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!
