### 3/5 — Not using Apple Music

*2026-08-17, version 2026.7*

Lack of instructions to use backing tracks from ‘Files’ in IPad Air 4th Gen.  Apple deleted all backing tracks overnight before a gig, couldn’t reload.
When trying to get around Apple Music, my version of SongSheet doesn’t allow me to complete the actions required to use files stored in iPad. Life members and have latest version, what is missing and how to get all the tools required.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-14, version 2026.7*

Best app by far for a gigging musician, SongSheet Pro is fantastic. Easy to use Easy to find songs and no more worrying about forgetting lyrics!

### 5/5 — PianoPlayer

*2026-07-14, version 2026.7*

I sent a message to the developers during the pandemic thanking them for such a great product. My musician friend at that time recommended I put aside all my paper charts and get this app. Wow I was amazed  at what I’ve accomplished with it; it reinvented me! Shortly after, I received a very warm thank you email. Still very pleased with this app and there updates to continue providing more and better features. Thank you again, Nick R. in Palm Desert/Rancho Mirage,Calif. 👍👍❗️

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-08, version 2026.6*

When the app syncs between devices, it will be as close to perfect as I could ever want

### 5/5 — Huge Asset to Gigging Musicians

*2026-05-31, version 2026.6*

This app has been a huge asset to my gigging career. It allows me to personalize cover songs and to write out my original song ideas with lyrics, chord charts, key signature, tempo, time signature, and capo use for guitar. You can even customize the chord, the title of each section, and make setlists for different types of performances.

It has auto scroll for live performance and I can connect my Airturn DUO 500 pedal to scroll to different sections live with a tap of my foot.

They were also super quick and informative when I reached out with an inquiry. They just added a new feature to back up your library and restore your back up so you never lose your hard work or original songs!

### 5/5 — 2 Columns!

*2026-05-23, version 2026.6*

If you're looking for a simple Chord Pro program to layout your music charts, buy SongSheet Pro! It will be money well spent.
I've been using SongSheet Pro for years and it has been a super reliable and useful tool. I have over 900 songs saved in it. The only thing that I was ever missing from it was the inability to print two columns. 
I used to use a silly bass-ackward method to get two column charts by taking screenshots of two-pagers and cutting and pasting columns together into one image and saving that as a PDF. What a hassle (although I got really fast at it.)
Lo and behold, I opened SongSheet Pro today and when I went to print, I was happily surprised to find it supports two columns natively and allows for more printing options. Thank you so much to the SongSheet Pro developers! Great product! Get it and you won't be disappointed.

### 5/5 — Eases all the Pain Points

*2026-05-21, version 2026.6*

A friend showed me this about a dozen years ago and I’ve been a rabid fan ever since. I do about 450 1-hour gigs a year and I can’t even imagine what chaos my life would be without this app. It is chock full or features but that’s not the best part. 

Gabriel, the creator is a genuinely awesome guy. He is exceedingly responsive and interested in the user experience. This is a feature you can’t pay enough for. In addition to actually implementing user suggestions, he is deeply dedicated to Songsheet Pro. 

It is for these reasons I think this app is unmatched by any other out there. He has my eternal gratitude for making my life easier, which not many people can do for us these days.

### 5/5 — The BEST App for Songwriter ⭐️ Singer

*2026-05-20, version 2026.6*

SongSheet Pro is still the VERY BEST app for SONGWRITERs / SINGERs / PERFORMERS I’ve been using this app for over 10 years, and it is still my most favorite app for Songwriting & Singing. I’ve tried so many apps before I decided on this one, & I made the right choice! This app is very intuitive: just type, copy or paste in lyrics & chords. It’s that easy! I love that I can add an audio track to my songs to remember it, practice with it or to “sweeten” the performance. And I love how I can change the key to a song, at any time to see if it suits my vocal range better. Now you can even scan in old binder images & even convert those images into text files. I can’t say enough about this app. I highly recommend it! Try the free trial & then buy the full Lifetime unlock version (one time purchase price) so you don’t have to worry about a subscription. The developer is always adding new features, so you can trust that it will be worth it even 10+ years from now! If Songwriting is a part of who you are, this app will help you to keep all your songs in one place, & keep the Songwriting juices flowing. I have it on my 2 iPads & on my iPhone for easy access & portability. It’s one of the few apps that I’ve been consistently ntely using all these years & it has truly blessed my life! A big thank you to the developer for making this app possible! #KeepingSongwritingAlive #GivingUsPurpose #HelpingUsLeaveaLegacy.

### 5/5 — A Performer’s Paradise

*2026-05-20, version 2026.6*

4 Years in and it’s constantly innovating and evolving! Even emailed the developers once with a feature I thought I was missing and they emailed back promptly and the next update, the feature was released. A great tool for performing musicians, for rehearsals, everything. Keeping everything organised and easy to use on stage. Look forward to using it for years to come

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2026-05-17, version 2026.5*

Once they get you by the neck on a subscription basis, they’ve got you. I hate the fact that I got involved with this. Greedy people.
