Great for songwriters and gigging musicians

Throw away those plastic files full of lyrics and chords, this lets you transfer song sheets, and gig notes and then scroll them on screen while you play along, makes you look professional. Eric is always there to help but this is the easiest lyric and chord app to use on your ipad 👍😎

Response from developer

Wow! Slattibarfart, thank you! I hope you are also enjoying some of the newer features like Internet search and iCloud sync. Best, Eric

I paid to download this app and now they want me to subscribe.

I paid a flat fee to get this app and now they’re bugging me every time I open the app to subscribe. The whole appeal was that it was a one time fee.

Response from developer

carzynick, sorry to hear of your disappointment. In many ways, what I implemented is for your benefit. Apple's iOS system keeps evolving, and updates are required just to keep things working. Either an app is updated, or it eventually dies. I implemented support requests in the most non-intrusive way I could figure out. I, too, dislike subscriptions. We all do. New users get zero requests for over a year. Casual users never get a support request. With 3 taps, you can turn off requests for 1 week: Settings → Support Reminders → Pause for 1 week. All features are available to all users regardless of support, and pricing is extremely reasonable. Happy to discuss more. Email: support@mysongbookapp.com

Hands down, the BEST

Ease of use, simple style, great features, ability to customize, ALWAYS reliable, developer support, huge capacity, great tools for organizing…. I could go on and on. I’ve relied on this app for well over a decade, use it for practice and performing, have recommended it to other musicians. It has never let me down. This app is part of my gear.

EnoughtCats, thanks for your kind words and support! Yes, I try to answer emails within 24 hours, but since I'm a one-person team, sometimes I am unavailable. Best, Eric

Amazing

I have used this app for years, and it’s been great, i have also recommended it to all my friends that play music either guitar or the piano if they are going to play chords! Everyone in my group has the app.
I would love it if it did have the Spanish Chords for some people who can only read those! If this app can do something like that, plz let me know how. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Agron Sinishtaj, thank you for your kind words and support! I'm not sure what you mean by "Spanish Chords" but you can create your own custom chords in the App! Please email me with more information and I'll try to help or improve the app: support@mysongbookapp.com
