Devs pls read - Fall from grace
This app is a classic case of committing the cardinal sin of fixing something that wasn’t broken. My college uses this app for our pep band, and we loved it for the longest time. It made our performances easier and is so much more convenient than carrying around physical music. However, over the summer, they updated their app, and now it’s practically unusable.
You are now no longer able to lock the screen in landscape mode, so players are constantly having to hold still or adjust their hands to fix the music. This is extremely inconvenient for musicians trying to move to the music and be energetic. This was possible with the last version, and now that it’s gone, the app is much harder to use.
Additionally, it will often glitch, moving your music and scrolling it without you touching the screen. This can mess you up pretty badly while trying to play along.
If you had asked me a year ago, I would’ve strongly recommended this app! But now, they’ve ruined it with an update that never needed to be made. AVOID THIS APP AT ALL COSTS!!

terribly glitchy
cant even view the drill formations or the music without it glitching
The most glitchy app ever
Leave it to JW Pepper to create the worst pdf reader of all time. So glitchy… turns to random pages, page turns take too long, re-sizing any page makes it crash - all of this while using files that are downloaded to the device, not streamed. Used on a brand new phone and an old iPad. Everybody at the conference was experiencing the same issues.

Dev please read
This app is nice, but bringing back the built in metronome would be nice.
horrible
ever since the new update, flip folder has sucked more and more for everyone in my band. and they keep adding more “updates” and it makes it worse and worse. bring it back to how it was before (aka like 3 months ago)
bad now
they updated it. bring back my boy.. 😭
It’s difficult to see notes
Okay so if the music is to long it’s difficult to see som notes because the bottom arrows thing covers it and and takes time while playing
Flip Folder is ALMOST Great
Having used this app for the better part of three years, I’m incredibly thankful for just how simple it is to pick up and use. However, it seems like when we need it the most (such as right before an early season performance) the app will refuse to work as advertised. More unfortunately, this issue has seemingly got worse and worse throughout my time using the app. Another issue with the app is the downloading of multiple parts. I play separate instruments in marching band versus pep band and in theory it would not be an issue since I’m enrolled in multiple bands. However, the app magically decides to only display whatever was most recently downloaded in both bands. As an example, in marching band I’ll be playing Tuba, then at pep band I’ll have to redownload every song in our book for the trombone. Then of course sometimes the app won’t download the right version and still show the tuba part anyway. If these issues could be fixed I would say that this app is nearly on par with Beam.

Some issues
Hi, I’ve used this app in marching band for over a year as a player and it’s about 50/50 for working/not working. Sometimes, the director pulls up a song and it shows up perfectly fine, with all my settings saved and my notes still written in. Other times, the song may revert to upside down after saving it previously, erase my notes, or refuse to open at all, and I’m stuck standing there messing with my phone while the rest of the band plays. These are not user-specific issues but everyone in the band experiences them all the time. Please work on an update soon so I can play in marching band successfully. Thanks!

Seeing
The blue line at the top makes it hard to zoom in and the music is not straight
Eh
For what it was made for, it’s useful. However, the app is slow and very buggy.
Great... except for some stuff
It’s an amazing app overall but I’m factoring in that there are some odd disconnects at times from the performance band thing. Also I know you don’t know what everyone’s working with but my iPhone 6 can’t even open the app with an IOS of 12.5.7
keeps crashing
fix yo gosh darn app ❌❌❌🤬🤬🤬
It’s good
This app is a useful tool. I like how it allows the band to go paperless. I’m really glad it exists - it’s pretty easy to navigate!
Do not install
Directors and students beware.
Ever since installing this app, all of our ensemble’s devices have begun receiving serious malicious attacks.

Terrible UI
On the iPhone 11 or any newer model with the notch, the UI or any interface doesn’t scale at all to fit around the notch in the screen, and in general the UI is too big and doesn’t scale well on iPhone
Marcus make good app
what the title says
This is what the world needs
Or the band anyway.. highly recommend!
