Best app in this category

This was a great app. Simple, no-nonsense and intuitive to use. Been using this for a good decade or more. Don’t change anything but fix the bugs that keep the app crashing when exporting songs as PDF. Other than this A++++++++

Doesn’t format well in iPad

The user interface looks like a cell phone. Might be ok with a phone, not an iPad. Had to uninstall.
