Let me just give you a few hints that could improve it, from my point of view.. Skip instructions as first page.. it’s not really welcoming.. it recalls a hard approach trough instructions.. you could have them available elsewhere.. Or everyone could choose his own picture for his songbook. Customizable! The option of tagging should be offered not just from the main menu.. but in every other menu.. Especially in the song view there should be a button to edit the tag.. On song view you could put the possibility to zoom on the picture (to read something etc).. I couldn’t re edit song name and artist once is written.. And it would be nice to write on the pictures, for example if you have a picture of the lyrics you could write by hands the chords. Synchronization wit the IPad made me loose all the categories! ### 3/5 — ช่วยปรับปรุงระบบด้วยครับ *2019-05-03, version 3.2* หลุดบ่อยมากบางทีทำลิสเพลงเสร็จกดบันทึก มันมาหลุดต้องทำใหม่หมด ผมเสียเงินเพิ่มเติมด้วยนะครับ ส่วนแถบอักษรย่อด้านขวา ก็ไม่รองรับภาษาไทยด้วย ช่วยแก้ไขให้ด้วยนะครับ ### 4/5 — Good app, almost … *2018-11-27, version 3.2* Please add opportunity to edit song names. Also iPad split view with another apps doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Not a bad app, couple of suggestions *2018-01-02, version 2.1.1* 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 ### 4/5 — Simple yet powerful *2017-08-02, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Songbook *2016-05-21, version 1.5.1* Having lots of trouble getting songs into the app. When I update the files it says 48 but only about 10 are there. ### 1/5 — Simple? Simply doesn't work. *2016-04-22, version 1.5.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Broken *2016-03-30, version 1.5.1* Yes it's broken and all my laboriously collected songs are gone - can they be recovered ? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-04-08, version 3.4.1* Says that it works on my model of iPad, but it crashes. ### 1/5 — Lost 925 songs *2023-11-07* 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. ### 1/5 — iPad gen9 Black screen ? ? ? Now *2023-11-04, version 3.4.0* Now I can't view the notes at all. The screen is completely black. For the current version, I lost money, so I‘m using it for work now. ### 1/5 — Français *2023-09-16, version 3.3.9* Bonjour, il est pourtant indiqué qu’elle est telechargeable en français mais impossible de l’obtenir en cette langue. Nul ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2021-11-11, version 3.3.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Song searching. *2018-10-24, version 3.1.1* I paid but still i can’t search songs ### 1/5 — Keeps restarting *2018-05-15, version 3.1* The app used to work fine and i paid for the full version and now it keeps crashing when i click on next song in my setlist. Disappointing ! ### 1/5 — succckkkssss *2017-05-27, version 2.1.1* succkkkksssss ### 1/5 — TROPPI CRASH *2017-05-20, version 2.1.1* Fate in modo che non vada in crash ogni due minuti d'uso e avrete parecchie stelle in più ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-05-29, version 1.5.1* Followed the naming convention, synced the sheets in Dropbox. App says they synced. Nothing shows up in the list. Don't waste your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy & Simple *2026-03-30, version 3.4.1* Perfect for gigs! Easy to add chords + lyrics and handy transpose tool! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-19, version 3.4.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Regained 925 songs *2024-03-13, version 3.4.1* Sincere thanks to Stephen for updating the app. I love it’s simplicity and support to my music career! ### 5/5 — Blast from the past *2023-06-10, version 3.3.9* Bro finally updated his app! Recovered work tonight that I thought was lost forever. Gracious ❤️ ### 5/5 — Review *2020-12-06, version 3.3.5* Really good app, but, can you add a zoom in button? Because sometimes I can’t see it properly. ### 5/5 — Actually, simple! *2020-02-20, version 3.3.4* 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! ### 5/5 — Lovely *2018-01-14, version 3.0.3* 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 ### 5/5 — Simple et efficace *2016-12-21, version 2.0.2* Bravo, cette appli porte bien son nom, elle est simple et efficace! l'avantage de celle-ci par rapport aux autres est qu'elle ne zoome pas quand on pince avec 2 doigts l'écran la synchro DropBox est géniale, exactement ce qu'on attend d'une synchro! si on pouvait synchroniser un répertoire FTP ce serait encore mieux!!! J'ai pris les différentes options, l'option Playlist est chère pour ce qu'elle apporte l'option Midi est aussi assez succinte, j'espérais pouvoir afficher un morceau en envoyant un controle midi, ce n'est pas le cas. Elle est cependant intéressante pour piloter l'affichage de la chanson en cours. L'affectation de la position a un control change fonctionne bien, mais provoque un affichage saccadé à cause de la résolution faible du midi (128 pas). Une mise à jour adoucira peut-être cet effet saccadé... ### 5/5 — Impec *2016-09-11, version 2.0.2* Impec pour jouer de la guitare avec les paroles ! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2016-06-16, version 2.0* Wonderful way to organize song lyrics so they are always handy in lieu of big binders of paper or notebooks!!
