It looks good...

Updated: I came across the app via the Airturn website, looking for an alternative to OnSong. I initially had trouble connecting my Airturn pedal and there are no directions in the app on how to do that, and the link to talk to the developer didn't work.

Eventually after acouple of resets on everything I got it working properly

It's simple and it gets the job done, and I'm grateful it's a pay once and you're good to go.

It looks good...

I came across the app via the Airturn website, looking for an alternative to OnSong. I think this app will do the trick except I can't connect my Airturn pedal, and there are no directions in the app on how to do that. I paid for the full version of the app, no luck there either. And while the developer asks that I contact him via the app, clicking the contact link does absolutely nothing.

I really want this app to work... Help?

Doesn’t appear to be IOS26 Compatable

Love this app. I’ve used it from the beginning, but once I upgraded to IOS26, it lost all text annotation. It’s never failed me until this morning. Hoping for a fix! The fix is in and it worked perfectly! Kudos to the team at NextPage!

Wonderful App

I’ve been using NextPage for many years and it continues to deliver. Having a large collection of music and doing live gigs demands that the app provide all of my needs in a timely and efficient manner on demand, and it continues to do just that. The ability to customise the content to suit my requirements is awesome and the flexibility within that is something I’ve come to love. If you need the ability to have sheet music at your fingertips, on demand, and sorted in any way you want to imagine, this is the app you need. Thanks to the software crew for a great app.

Markup issue

I wanted to submit this via app support, but it just crashes. I did all my markups in black for a gig and when I opened the app the next day, my markups changed to white! Obviously not helpful. Is this a known glitch? Outside of that, the app is fantastic.

Fantastic app for orchestras

This is a fantastic app to organise your sheet music for orchestra rehearsals and concerts. I would highly recommend this for any musician who is looking to go paperless. Works well with a Bluetooth pedal and it’s very easy to add musical markings/annotations as required.

Warum?

Habe die App als Drummer auf der Bühne benutzt, soweit klasse. Früher war das Metronom ein großer roter dicker Punkt. Jetzt benötige ich ein Lupe. Es läuft auch bei Song Wechsel nicht mehr automatisch an. Jetzt ist die App für mich langsam unbrauchbar. Warum kann man das Metronom nicht personalisieren, dann wäre doch jedem geholfen.

Response from developer

Hi Rudi, Per our response to your support email about this, it has been over 6 years since the metronome was redesigned to have a smaller footprint and take less space on the screen. As NextPage is designed with the idea that most musicians want to see as much of the music notation as possible, we believe a smaller metronome footprint is better for most playing situations. We have added your autostart feature for a future release.

Gut, aber nicht optimal

Ich nutze die App mit meinem Kinderorchester auf mehreren iPads gleichzeitig. Sie erleichtert das Proben sehr, weil ich Setlisten vorbereiten kann. Leider kann ich bei einmal erstellten Setlisten die Reihenfolge der Songs nur durch Löschung und erneutes Einfügen der Songs ändern. Darüber hinaus würde ich gern einmalig von mir importierte App-Inhalte auf allen iPads synchronisieren. Diese beiden Punkte als Anregung für die Entwickler, ansonsten tut die App, was sie soll

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! To reorder the songs, tap on "Set List", and the tap on "Edit" on the top right of the Set List popover. You can then drag/drop the songs to reorder them. Also thanks for the synchronization idea. We will definitely consider that for the future!

Functional

The app does a pretty good job. It would be nice if it would import common jpeg files. It would also be nice if the help screen contact link actually led to an email or phone number. It does not. So you are left hanging. At least, I could not find any way to send even a comment.

I love this program!

I play lead guitar in a praise band, without it, I’d be turning pages, and that is no bueno! Outstanding support!

Appli très sympa

Juste un peu compliquée au début mais après ça va

Mittlerweile unverzichtbar…

Unkompliziert, macht, was es soll, läuft stabil, sehr angenehmer Support.
Aus unserem Coverband-Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken. Alles als pdf in die Dropbox gelegt und fertig ist die Laube.

Keeps closing down

Have an iPad Air model MF529LL/A. This used to work fine until I started to make more than one set list. Now it won’t start up or it will start up and close down within 30 seconds. When it worked it was good. Now it is useless. Can’t even get to the help screen to contact developer.

Dropbox Crash

New version crashes every time I try to access Dropbox.

Very good app

I would like to contact you directly, but I couldn’t find the way.
I’m having troubles importing my pdf from Dropbox. Can you help in some way?
Thank you very much!

Vanished songs!!!

Been a longtime user (and purchaser) of NextPage, and have been enjoying the markup function and ease of use. However, your most recent update (2020.2) made all but 5 of my roughly 400 songs vanish completely. The titles of my set lists are still there, but no songs. If that weren’t enough, clicking on the song list brought up a prompt of “Ready to upgrade?” - which, having purchased NP3, I knew was not necessary. I clicked on it anyway, and saw a button to “restore the purchase”. I did, received a message of “Success”... and still no songs. Followed this by restarting both the app and the iPad, and had exactly the same thing happen.

The good news is that the original PDFs of my songs are backed up on my computer. The bad news is that I fear all the annotation (tunings, etc) that I applied to the songs that were loaded on my iPad just went poof. What the eff, folks? This latest version is a serious update fail.

Sehr gute App, aber ...

... eine Kleinigkeit vermisse ich:
Unter „Hervorheben“ fehlt mir das Zeichen, mit dem in Bestände Noten eingefügt werden kann, eine bestimmte Passage zu wiederholen, also der Doppelstrich mit Doppelpunkt. Schade!
Aber im Ergebnis eine App, die tut was sie soll und das auch noch gut!

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We will add the repeat symbol for you in the next update!

Great App

I have been using this app for approximately three years on stage and off. It’s uses seem limited only to your imagination. I constantly find new ways to use it to develop skills. Sharing music with others, notating and a host of other features in the tool box are of much greater value than the price. Highly recommended and if there were more than 5 stars NextPage would receive them.

Apple Pencil doesnt work.

As previously mentioned annotations are only working from time to time. Mostar there a random lines occuring with every move of the pencil.
Sadly that makes the App useless for me.

Response from developer

Hi Lauii1337, As noted in the app, Apple Pencil support is in BETA, and so it does have some known issues. We are presently rewriting support for the Pencil using Apple's latest PencilKit technology released in iPadOS 13, and you will soon have a much better experience.
