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.
Blast from the past
Bro finally updated his app! Recovered work tonight that I thought was lost forever. Gracious ❤️
Keeps crashing
Hard to use, can’t add anything to texts if they’re PDF. A scribble option could be useful in some cases to add notes to a song. App keeps on crashing when you make set lists, crashed 4 times tonight, no reason it should… This using a recent 2019 gen ipad.
Review
Really good app, but, can you add a zoom in button? Because sometimes I can’t see it properly.
Actually, simple!
Having a bunch of PDFs, images of scores and text files from other apps, this app does a great job of unifying them all.
Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for the hard work!
Good app, almost …
Please add opportunity to edit song names. Also iPad split view with another apps doesn’t work.
Lovely
Exactly what I was looking for, no gripes no paywalls etc. Stores my songs in text form, sorts them by name and artist, plus a few other neat little tricks. Don’t bother with the big name type apps full of micro-transactions and subscription bull💩, this is all you need. Simple songbook, it’s in the name. 14/1/18

Not a bad app, couple of suggestions
I can get it to sync quite well with Dropbox so that's a plus. Using notepad or a basic text editor to format the lyrics/chords is ok, but you need to strip out all the carriage returns otherwise you get quite lengthy pages.
The biggest plus for me - midi support. One of the few reasonably priced ones.
Suggestions. Change it to recognise the chord pro format where you can just type in [the chord] in the same lyric line and it recognises it and places it as appropriate. It is a pain to have to muck about with separate lines for chords.
Can you introduce colour formatting. Particularly for where you might want to highlight some lyrics such as harmony lines. Might be just a case of having some sort of *character* at the beginning and end of the words. Cheerd

Simple yet powerful
Love this app! Been converting my TXT files and imported them in Songbook Simple, and I'm simply not using my paper books anymore! Love the connection to Dropbox, the key transposition feature, the categories and setlists, and the page break system which is so easy to use.
Great app!!
Wonderful way to organize song lyrics so they are always handy in lieu of big binders of paper or notebooks!! Thanks for your great app 🙂
Doesn't work
Followed the naming convention, synced the sheets in Dropbox. App says they synced. Nothing shows up in the list.
Don't waste your time.

Response from developer
Hello, the app has undergone many changes since this review. I would suggest trying again, and you can email support directly at songbooksimple@gmail.com
Songbook
Having lots of trouble getting songs into the app. When I update the files it says 48 but only about 10 are there.
Simple? Simply doesn't work.
I can't get my iPad to connect this app to Dropbox at all. I got my phone to connect and I saw 27 songs download. But I can't see them in the app even though they have the correct naming convention. In short, I can't do anything with this app. Not a very good app in my opinion.
Broken
Yes it's broken and all my laboriously collected songs are gone - can they be recovered ?
Broken :-(
The latest update broke it. :-(
Piece of $#€%
DO NOT UPDATE!!!It just deleted everything,except for Effin Danny BoY!It took me months to save all those songs.
Response from developer
Just to do some housekeeping... this is a very old review, but since then the app has improved its stability, and I remember releasing a hotfix that recovered all your data. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
