### 5/5 — Does everything I need

*2026-08-20, version 25.1.13*

Import PDFs, keep lists, add notes, sync with other devices

### 5/5 — The key to my solo adventure

*2026-08-17, version 25.1.13*

This app keeps me on track. At 50+ years old I can’t imagine how I could memorize all of these songs. Songbook Pro puts my whole catalog right at my fingertips.  It’s easy to share across all of my devices, so I’m always ready for anything.

### 5/5 — Exactly what a relatively new player needs

*2026-08-16, version 25.1.13*

Excellent. I don’t usually write reviews but this app got me back into practicing guitar and was a big part of giving me the confidence to play and sing in front of people. The different keys and ability to capo are easy to use and are a Godsend. Thank you to the makers of this app

### 3/5 — Developer Inaction Disappointing

*2026-08-16, version 25.1.13*

I had some issues with the app that I couldn’t find solutions for online so I contacted the developer in February. I got a confirmation “Thank you for your interest in SongbookPro, this is an automated conformation email but a developer will respond to your query shortly”.
No follow-up so I re-sent the message in April.
Still no follow-up so I re-sent the message in June.
It’s now August and still no follow-up so I’ve given up.
Too bad, I really like the App but the issues I’m having make it unusable in certain instances so I’ve moved on.

### 4/5 — Works Great

*2026-08-14, version 25.1.13*

How long will it take, until SongBookPro, starts charging a Yearly or Monthly fee to keep using this APP?

### 5/5 — Great, easy to use app

*2026-08-12, version 25.1.13*

Easy to organize and edit your music. Great customizable views. I found this to be an excellent app.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-08-10, version 25.1.13*

Where to start? All of my music, organized, easily edited, excellent resources and customizable. This app is an incredible value.

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!!!!!

*2026-08-06, version 25.1.13*

Wish you were around in the late 60’s would be better than using your LP trying to figure out cords and lyrics

### 5/5 — Simple and All I Need

*2026-08-01, version 25.1.13*

I've used other chord chart apps in the past (OnSong and Song One aka Songs), and while those had their bright spots, they tried to do too much and were always focusing on things I wasn't doing (syncing multiple iPads, syncing with video and audio).  At times they were either buggy or required weird menu paths to do basic things.  I just wanted a chart app that made editing and organizing my charts easy, with enough customization to enjoy the format on the screen as I play and good connection to a bluetooth page turner.  This app does wonderful at that.  The normal common things it does in a very intuitive way.  It's easy to organize a large collection, create set lists, order repeated parts, etc.  My favorite feature is the ability to use a browser over WIFI to quickly edit charts.  That is a game changer.  All that for a reasonable one time purchase, and this app is a no-brainer!!  Buy it!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-07-31, version 25.1.13*

I am a long time user of UG and still love it but SBP has been a game changer for me. Thank you. 
I love being able to sync my charts and sets via one master device and update my other devices from it using the “no push”syncing option. 
Assigning different colors to verses, choruses etc help me from getting lost when I move my eyes away and then back again. 
Suggestions:
1)Find and replace chords during edit sessions. 
2)Chord symbols as per iReal pro like circle for diminished, triangle for major 7, + augmented etc.
