### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2025-12-09*

Works great and easy to synch between devices.

### 3/5 — Do Not Select Text!

*2024-09-28*

Please fix the edit tool if possible and include a way to not save edits to lyrics.  

Otherwise it is 5 star.

**Developer response:** There is now an Undo All button on the toolbar. Please update to latest release.

### 5/5 — Elegant and functional

*2024-07-04*

As a performer (acoustic solo) I like the layout of this app and can see it being my main resource. Would love to have facility to download/play songs  from Apple Music or Spotify for rehearsing a set. Other than that, loving it👍

### 1/5 — How to get version Updates for GigBag Setlist app

*2024-06-23*

I’ve purchased and have been using for about a year. How do I confirm that I’m recieving the latest update?

### 3/5 — A good ap excrpt….

*2024-05-07*

Looks good but No facility to ask questions?. I am unable to access my 200 songs from iCloud or dropbox. In addition the ap does not seem to support page turner. 
It looks good so far but as I can’t access my database of songs I cant get into any other functions. 
I recently backed up my songlist as I deleted an ap that stopped working. 
It may be my newby ignorance? 
I worked with SongList for 8 years but it became a pain. 
I’m happy to rewrite my reviews should you consider the above.

### 5/5 — No PDF scrolling?

*2024-03-13*

Downloaded the free version and it looked ideal for what I wanted which was to display and organise all the pdf files I have, but it does not appear to support timed scrolling for PDFs. Maybe that’s just not possible but I would definitely buy the app if it was possible.

I could not see a way to contact the developer, hence this is more of a question about pdf scrolling rather than a review.

**Developer response:** That’s a good suggestion. 
We will try to put PDF scrolling on our ToDo list for a near-future update. 
You can contact us within Setlist using settings/make a suggestion.

### 5/5 — The Search Is Over!

*2023-03-18*

After 30 seconds of being inside this app I knew my long search was over for an set list I could work with. The layout, ease of use, intuitiveness and the readiness was on point. Now I can just play!!
