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++++++++

Podría ser mejor...

La app es buena, pero la versión gratuita tiene un LÍMITE DE 5 CANCIONES, o sea, nada
