Doc is awful but no such thing on Mac. Instead, find the obscure Manager feature on the phone app that allows a browser to see the phone songs. The app is walled off, though the free manager in the browser works. ### 1/5 — disappointed *2026-04-03, version 1.2.3* none of the songs transfer to VerseCAST ### 5/5 — Impressed *2026-02-05, version 1.2.3* I'm figuring it out! ### 5/5 — Terrific app *2025-11-12, version 1.2.3* I saw a couple of negative reviews from a few years ago and feel I have to respond. I have sang and played guitar since I was a teenager. I sometimes had to learn what could be complicated lyrics and music. The last band I played in had a repertoire of 150 plus songs, with approx. 40 played during long gigs. I didn’t have the luxury of this incredible app until a few months ago, and now extensive rehearsals are a thing of the past. Anyone who has an issue with this app should try again, even the free version is ideal to let you see just what it can do. I was blown away with the ease of use, and how simple it is to load a song from Ultimate Guitar. The back up option is great and the key change option is superb. In my opinion, it’s the best on the market for a nice price. ### 4/5 — Good but … *2025-11-03, version 1.2.3* Should be able to add song from picture ( Jpeg ) because sometimes we do screen capture and save as Jpeg not pdf . ### 1/5 — Abkassieren *2025-09-23, version 1.2.3* Dass der Kauf der Vollversion keine weiteren Lieder beinhaltet, finde ich frech. Worin liegt der Unterschied zwischen Probe- und Vollversion? ### 1/5 — Refund me immediately please *2025-01-20, version 1.2.3* Can’t share between iPad and MacBook. Are you kidding me… I gave you the 1.99 expecting that feature would unlock. This is not useful at all. ### 3/5 — Noch Luft nach oben *2024-09-30, version 1.2.3* Die Handhabung ist echt gut und das importieren von Songs funktioniert auch sehr gut. Riesen Probleme hat die App jedoch mit Umlauten. Der Text wird dadurch leider unleserlich. ### 4/5 — È molto utile. *2024-09-02, version 1.2.3* Per la chitarra ideale. ### 2/5 — So far not good…. *2024-07-15, version 1.2.3* An instructional tutorial would be nice. Cannot transfer pdf files from my google drive into the app. ## Frequently asked questions about Song Book Pro ### What does SongBook Pro do?
