Stuck in the past

If I were Barbara Dicksons tour manager in 1983, this would probably be brilliant. However in a world of digital triggers, complex pedalboards and multiple signal routing options it isn’t. Also why have a DJ deck listed and not the option to show the position of a guitar pedalboard ?

Disappointed

Who the hell’s rating this thing five stars?

Obviously not anybody who’s actually tried using it. Went with this app for stage plotting because a much better one that I was recommended was retired before I could even try it out, so I went with this slop instead Lacks bare basic functionality. Try to place a riser, gotta place your finger just right on the expand tab or you’ll default to shrinking the riser so you can even touch it to get rid of it and try again. Zooming in and moving around? Sorry, that’s too much to ask of this app. DO NOT PURCHASED THIS APP. The developers have zero business charging money for this app and never fixing any of the many bugs. They should either release updates or dump the app entirely, because right now it’s worth less than free.

Really bad

Choix d’instruments extrêmement réduit ! À fuir

Essentially Worthless-kiss $3.99 away

Not easy to figure out, the app gets in the way instead of clearing the way- not sure what i expected for $3.99 But Stage -g*r* app is much more user friendly and quick, for $2 bucks more…sorry guys-work on this one. Even for FREE it doesnt do it.

Not worth the 3.99

FAQ

What is Stage Plot Maker?

Stage Plot Maker is a mobile application designed to help musicians and bands create clear and readable stage plots. These plots visually communicate the band's technical requirements, such as instrument placement and input needs, to sound engineers for live performances.

What information can be included in a stage plot?

Stage plots can include a visual diagram of stage element placement, numbered input and output lists, a list of required items like chairs and music stands, performer names and photos, notes for the sound engineer, and contact information.

How does the app handle different instruments?

The app uses symbols for inputs like microphones or DI boxes, which can be labeled with the specific instrument. It also includes symbols for larger instruments like pianos and drums. This approach provides a streamlined display focused on the technical setup needs.
