Great app with robust support

With help from their forum and costumer support the app is easy to learn. It’s slightly more expensive than other apps but the cost is well worth it for the many tools available.

Excellent tho quirky

This is a great app. Very useful. But it’s got a significant learning curve partially for its advanced features, so you must invest a fair amount of time. It will pay dividends if you do. It’s not the most intuitive and the way it works isn’t the most seamless of designs but once you know it works it’s pretty functional. Has some bugs and unpredictable behavior. With the latest OS update, editing charts is more difficult and cumbersome. It’s also not always consistently responsive to screen Taps, sometimes slow to respond and sometimes crashes mysteriously, so that’s annoying and somewhat dysfunctional. Sharing and exporting importing doesn’t always work smoothly. If some of these things could be improved, I’d give it 5 stars.

Wonderful Tool

Well thought out with a SIMPLE learning curve.

Tons of work to get up and running

This program comes with very little music, which is OK, I have a bunch of Realbooks in PDF. The problem is getting them into iGigbook is a major pain, and these guys have set the record for world’s worst documentation. You know the saying: bad documentation is better than no documentation. Not so. Turns out wrong and misleading documentation is even worse. I am currently so sorry I bought this.

Scam

This is deceptive advertising. Not what it seems through the app star. Want my money back

The best music manager

I love it. So smart,clear,and reliable. Thank you for such a wonderful app,

Amazing tool.

Great app for any gigging player.

The best sheet music manager!

There is no better app for managing your music collection. Easy to use and has yet to fail me on the hundreds of gigs and rehearsals I’ve used it. The book indexes make it easy to find any song no matter what PDF it is in and the many export options makes it easy to share music with both iGigBook users and non-users. Keep up the good work!

Worst app ever

Clunky interface, non-functional indexing, non-helpful Help files. A virtual boat anchor.

Doesn't sync across multiple iPads

I've been using this app for many years and enjoy some of its features, however, it could be more user-friendly. I still have yet to figure out how to use the PDF indexing correctly. I hope that the developer will figure out an easy way to sync multiple iPads. This would help great for bands who use many devices for hired musicians.

App is buggy

Still having same issues and bugs that haven’t been addressed since I bought this app years ago. Putting pdfs in a setlist only loads the first page and skips to the next pdf on page turn… Loading in a new pdf shows a completely different pdf on first open. Like come on. Some pdfs despite being more than 1 page ONLY load 1 page on import.

Can we get these issues fixed please? Or are these issues going to continue to get ignored.

It does the job for me

Love it. Get it

So painful to use

Nice app 20 years ago, but it is so painful to get it to see the pdf files. I don’t think anyone is really working on this. It would be okay if it were a free app but you do have to pay for it.

Awkward

Very, very cumbersome to set up. Having been out for many years now, this should be much easier.

iGigbooks

iGigbooks! Don’t know what I’d do without it! iGigbooks has sped up all my musical tasks, from setlist sharing to transposing fake books, making my own books, and playing requests of songs I may not know.

Thank you iGigbooks

Still the best!

I do a bunch of musical theater and you always have a situation where you need to make edits and iGigBook covers everything. Need to block out large sections? No problem. Need to pull a system from another number? The new cut & paste feature makes that really easy. Need to annotate with your pencil or finger? iGigBook has you covered. I’ve been gigging with this app for over 15 years and it’s still getting better.

The Go To app for the fake books

I use iGigBook on almost every gig. Some suggestions for improvement:
1) Make it easier to see the file name an index applies to. Wrong pdf file names cause headaches.
2) Make it easier to share individual charts.
3) Display the missing file name when a set list references a missing file
4) Find a way to handle books that include photo pages between some charts. Indexing gets thrown off.

Good tunes

All of my tunes in one place ready to review or perform. No heavy books or xeroxed sheets to blow off my music stand. Play along with the tunes from iTunes collection. Great professional and educational tool

Best Prog for pro musicians

No more carrying a satchel of books. And the transpose feature is awesome !

A learning curve but great app

The app is little difficult to get the hang of but the support will always help direct you through the forum.
