The requirements for Set Wizard were put together by the members of a real band, The Norwegian Beatles. The need for a simple and fun way to create the evenings setlist gave birth to Set Wizard. Actually the first set of requirements were written down on the Notes application on my iPhone in a band-bus on the way to a gig in August 2010.
"Often we find ourselves backstage minutes before the concert, without a proper setlist, trying to put something together on a piece of paper. These last minutes you would rather spend on other activities, like warming up your voices, rather than struggling with the setlist."

**Import songs from the iPhone/iPad Music Library
Get started with creating your bands repertoire by importing songs from the iPhone/iPad Music Library. In many cases you already have the songs your bands are playing on your iPhone/iPad. Import them into your bands repertoire in Set Wizard with a few clicks. The songs are then directly ready to be used by Set Wizard to form set lists. Of course you can also add songs manually to the repertoire. 

**Create setlists for your next gig by easy pick and select from the repertoire or by a one-click copy from a previous gig
Set Wizard lets you easily pick songs from the repertoire to form the set. If a song is previously picked, either in this set or another set in this gig, it will be greyed out. Anyway, you can still pick it. Set Wizard keeps track of the length of your set as you add or delete songs so you always know when to stop. You can alter the order of songs by drag and drop.

**Move songs easily between sets
You would sometimes want to move songs between sets. With Set Wizard it is a breeze.

**Print directly or e-mail your setlist as PDF-attachment or plain text. SMS is also supported
Control the font-size and song attributes to be included on the setlist. In most cases you would prefer to have the songs for one set on one page only. Dependent on the number of songs and the song attributes you would like to print, the font-size can easily be altered to achieve this. 

**Share repertoire, gigs and sets with your band-mates
Set Wizard support easy export and import of band data. By the click of one button, a special Set Wizard xml file including all data is generated ready to be sent as an e-mail attachment. Receivers can then just as easy import this file into Set Wizard and thus merge the data with existing data. This file also serves as an additional backup of your data.

**Interface towards iPhone/iPad Music Player for playback of songs. Play songs from repertoire and set lists directly with one-click only

**"Now Playing" view for rehearsal with possibilities to set loop points in song and link to song lyrics from your favorite lyrics website

**Performance view for displaying lyrics and chords during performance. Automatic text scrolling

### 4/5 — Sleeper setlist app with non standard interface

*2025-01-06*

After trying about eight different setlist management apps (including expensive and popular ones like OnSong), this one is the most efficient and usable once you learn the quirky non standard interface. 

And there are live performance features that I have yet to try out…

Highlights…
1. Efficient song entry, especially if you use Apple Music where you can import entire set lists including titles, length, genre. Easy access to lyrics via an auto generated Google search. The search can then easily be modified to find key and tempo by replacing the word lyrics with key and tempo. 
2. Many export options for texting, email, file sharing and printing!
3. Multiple band capability. 
4. Easily arrange multiple set lists per gig. 
5. Copy existing set lists. 

It’s worth the effort to figure out the quirky non standard interface. The “i” with circle, which generally means info or help, but in this case you gain access to details and settings for the context (ie band, set list, song repertoire). The book icon is the help interface. 

It’s worth the learning curve for the ultimate efficiency in managing set lists.

### 1/5 — Wasted time

*2021-02-04*

Invested lots of time with data input and now it doesn’t open.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-07-17*

Does not open.  Waste of my time and money

### 3/5 — No lyric import function

*2018-09-03*

Read the overview and this seemed like a very promising app, especially since it was created by a band. The app is well laid out and extensive, however the overview mentioned importing lyrics via the media list or manually. Unfortunately "manually" does not mean importing a document file. If you enter the song title the app redirects you to the web and finds the lyrics on the web. From there I could not see any way to import the lyrics so you are basically viewing them from a web page which you can do without buying this app. My main reason for buying a set list app was to view lyrics but this function is not well supported at all in this app. If the developers were to add this essential function it would be an excellent app for artists or bands to use.
