*2026-05-30, version 3.1.8*

### 5/5 — Working fine now!

*2026-05-02*

👏👏👏👏👏

**Developer response:** Thanks for updating the review!

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-04-29*

Update is preventing me from seeing my lyrics. I have to go into edit lyrics to see them

**Developer response:** Can you email at support@setlisthelper.com. This issue should be resolved. Are you using PDF documents or chord pro.

### 4/5 — Solid app, I have used it successfully for years.

*2026-04-28*

Over the years, this app has performed incredibly well for me. I wound up with a pretty exclusive library of songs and I find it to be very user-friendly and effective. I also found that they were incredibly responsive to user feedback. A recent update had a minor bug. After corresponding with the creator, it was worked out and fixed in a very short period of time. Overall, this is as good a set list organizer app that you’ll find. Highly recommend.

**Developer response:** If you would like help then message me at support@setlisthelper.com

### 1/5 — Deletes files and freezes

*2026-04-18*

I used set list helper for the last couple of years and didn’t have a problem with it until recently when I tried to upload it to a new iPad. Sound files did not transfer over syncing only deleted things just upgraded this last week and now I can’t even use it without it freezing up after a couple of songs and I’ve also had to unload and reload and tried every trouble shooting that I could possibly try and it’s still not working properly.

**Developer response:** This can be resolved outside of the review system. Email support@setlisthelper.com -Tim

### 4/5 — Good. Some bugs yet

*2026-04-16*

In the last 2versions, when I change from one app to another and go back to Setlist, I can’t see the song title nor edit anything else. I can’t go back to the prior list too.  So I need to reopen the app to work again.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I am creating a release the should fix this. It will be out early next week. If you have any other issues email me at support@setlisthelper.com

### 1/5 — Latest update is trash

*2026-04-14*

Lyric edit page will not provide menu to save changes after you’ve saved it once. Lost almost an hour worth of transcriptions.  I will be looking for a new app

### 5/5 — Big fan!

*2026-04-06*

Have used for years. Contacted developer once and he personally recovered some lost files quickly and kindly. I think it’s a great app and is perfect for me!

**Developer response:** Thanks Rudimon! Glad I could help. -Tim

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.37 — 2026-08-13

- You can now add songs from your Song Catalog to a setlist on iPhone. Look for the new music note button at the top of your setlist. No need to re-enter songs you already have.
- Fixed a crash that could happen when swiping to another song while the page was still turning from a pedal press or auto advance.
- Other small improvements to the Add to Setlist menu.

### 3.36 — 2026-08-09

- Auto-scroll half speeds. The plus and minus buttons now adjust the
  scroll speed in half steps, so you can fine tune between speeds,
  for example 7.5.
- Fixed the key shown in the lyric header not transposing when the
  key tag had a space after the colon, for example {key: Em}.
- Fixed a crash that could happen when turning pages with a
  Bluetooth pedal while a page swipe was still in progress.
- Fixed syncing on devices set to the Thai (Buddhist) calendar.
  Dates now sync correctly, so edits made on the website are no
  longer lost on those devices.
- Fixed a crash when viewing songs by tag if a song had been deleted.
- Reduced memory use while downloading lyrics for offline use during
  the first sync on large song lists.

### 3.35 — 2026-07-22

- Faster sync: your song list now downloads much faster.
- Offline lyrics: after a sync, all of your song lyrics are saved on your
  device, so they are ready to view even without an internet connection.
- Fixed a crash that could occur while quickly turning pages in the lyrics
  view.
- Stability and performance improvements.

### 3.30 — 2026-07-14

What's New in 3.3

- Much faster sync. Only songs that changed since your last sync are downloaded, and bulk edits upload in batches. Large libraries that took minutes now sync in seconds.
- Sync now tells you if anything failed instead of reporting success, and a freeze at the end of sync has been fixed.
- Log in with your email address or username.
- Song pickers now sort songs alphabetically within each letter section.
- Fixed a crash when connecting AirTurn pedals.
- Stability fixes for iPad split view navigation.

### 3.2 — 2026-06-08

Version 3.2 brings major stability improvements and a faster lyric
  search experience.

  Sync engine reliability
  - Rewrote the cloud sync engine to eliminate background-thread
    crashes that could occur while uploading songs, setlists, and
    tags. Sync is now safe even if you switch accounts or sign out
    while a sync is in progress.
  - Tapping Sync twice in quick succession, or trying to log out
    while a sync is running, is now blocked at the UI so it cannot
    put the app in a bad state.
  - Cancelling a sync now cleanly stops in-flight uploads instead
    of letting them finish in the background.

  Lyric search is faster
  - When searching for lyrics, the app now extracts the lyric text
    as soon as it appears on the page instead of waiting for ads,
    trackers, and slow scripts to finish loading. On ad-heavy lyric
    sites this can be 5 to 20 seconds faster.

  iPad polish and crash fixes
  - Fixed a crash that could occur on iPad when tapping a Home
    screen tile shortly after navigating back from a lyric.
  - Fixed the back button label "Home" showing instead of the
    expected "Tags" arrow when leaving the Tag Songs screen on
    iOS 18.
  - Added an extra safety net for a rare iPad split-view layout
    crash that could occur while the app was being snapshotted in
    the background.
  - Several smaller stability fixes for low-memory iPads,
    including guards in the PDF viewer, the metronome, and the
    Setlist Songs list.

  Thanks as always for using Setlist Helper. If you run into any
  issues or have suggestions, write to support@setlisthelper.com.
