Easy & Simple

Perfect for gigs! Easy to add chords + lyrics and handy transpose tool!

Great app

I don’t know why that other user gave us a one out of five. This is a free app that is super intuitive and lets you input your songs as either copy and paste or by adding actual images. This app also facilitates syncing between devices as well as emailing yourself a .zip file. I never knew I would use that zip file feature, but I’ve recently needed to import my set list and this feature worked perfectly. Does it show my list it also opens up on other platforms and devices. The layout is good and you can tell someone who is a musician made. This thing I haven’t used too many songbook apps because this one just did the trick for me. There may be extra bells and whistles for some paid versions of other apps but for me a guy who gigs at least 100 times a year this is great just thought y’all should know the one star doesn’t represent the app very well.

Regained 925 songs

Sincere thanks to Stephen for updating the app. I love it’s simplicity and support to my music career!

Lost 925 songs

The app opens and shows song titles. However blank screen results when any song is chosen. I have lost a lot of great material. Sad day for this performer.
