I found Progressions about 3 years ago and have used it weekly since then. Brilliant for gigs and working with different vocalists.
Very good app
I love this app 👍
Issue
Hi, this app is great, I have been using it since it came out. There’s an issue with the new version, when I make a new playlist, and I try to add charts into them, the app closes randomly. Could you please fix it? I use the option so much. thanks, much love!
Response from developer
I should be able to figure this out and fix it. I’ll jump on it as soon as I can!
Piece of Junk - Period.

Great app for lead sheets; Dropbox fix info included below
I have used this app for a few years. It takes a little getting used to, but it works perfectly for what I need.
Progressions works great as a place to write and recall simple text lead sheets. The other apps are far more complicated, and are more difficult to use compared to Progressions. But this is considering I am looking for a simple solution for jazz and rock song chord charts. I can easily cut and paste text files from any source, format them to look good on the screen, and then store them in Progressions.
2 'gotchas': 1. Be careful, though, as Progressions will not transpose chords in the chart if they are adjacent to other characters such as - or ~. It does recognize # and m as being musical, and it transposes chords next to these characters fine. 2. Backing up to Drobbox: All songs MUST be part of a 'set' to be backed up. The first time I noticed this is when I created charts on one device, backed them up, then tried to download the backup onto another iDevice. I simpley created an 'all charts set' and make sure new charts are part of this 'set' and have had no problems ever since.
My only real complaint is Progressions is not compatible with bluetooth page turners. Hopefully that is coming soon.
Dropbox Fix: If you have problems linking Progressions to Dropbox, check to see if you have the Dropbox app installed on your iDevice. The program calls the app rather than a direct connection to Dropbox, which is what it needs. There is no error message or any indication that the connection has not been made. If you delete the Dropbox app and then try linking Progressions, you will get a dialog that askes for the Dropbox user id and password. Once that happens, you will be connected. I had this problem recently (Mar 2017) and the above fix worked. I have also had problems with another device seeing the most recent backup or chart that I created on another device, as if the Dropbox connection needed to be 'refreshed'. Removing the Dropbox app corrected this as well.
Enjoy!
