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
You can do more on word
Well worth the price
While I agree with many other reviews that I wish I could visually represent instruments like guitars and basses and such, I don’t see that as a reason to knock more than a star off this app. It does what it needs to do well and intuitively. Many reviews just didn’t bother to actually learn how to use the app. The only other thing I’ve encountered so far is wishing for more options for the display of inputs and outputs. Like being able to resize those elements or have them overflow to a second column if necessary, and such. For example my outputs list had 5 outputs and then a bunch of space to the right so I couldn’t seem to move it over as much as I wanted.
Still well worth $4 and gets the job done. I’m a long time avid Band Helper user but don’t want to pay double what I pay now when the only extra module I need is the Stage Plot so I decided to take a chance with this stand alone instead. Hopefully it keeps getting developed and improved but even as is, I’m quite happy with it.

Don’t buy, impossible to use
Useless mess.
WHAT A MESS!
This is the 2nd Stage Making app that completely wasted my time and money. WHERE ARE THE INSTRUMENTS? There is more in a band than pianos drums and violins. Where are the guitars? Basses? Keyboards? The owner says he replies to e-mails? Where is his e-mail because I want my $4.00 back.
Response from developer
The app description explains how inputs versus instruments are handled. I didn't receive any messages about this app around the date you posted your review.
Total Junk
The illustrations are bad. You can’t resize them. The inputs are very limited. This should not cost money. Please read reviews before purchasing.
target audience missed. so much nothing here
Creating a plot is very basic and a bit labor intensive. you get to use circles and squares to build a drum kit and the circles are the same size for toms and cymbals. i could do better creating my own Icons in a word program with far more shape options to choose from. The "instruments" category doesn't even include guitars or amps, and most icons seem very geared to stage hands and techs rather than performers who usually see a stage plot in terms of where the amps go... not mics, DI's and PA lines.
There are some interesting features like the list that populates inputs and outputs but that again is only moderately useful to a performer and better suited to the audio tech.
Which begs the question to the developer, who was this App actually designed for?
After reading a few reviews, (some as many as 4 or 5 years ago), it appears similar requests, concerns, and issues echoed my own.
So I contacted the developer via their support to pitch the idea of making some changes and although response was same day, it never felt like my concerns were addressed, rather it came off as dismissive with a, "learn how to use our product because were not going to change anything" tone attached.
Anyways, on that note, I will find my own solution to share with my clients. As for the $6.00CA,
meh, keep it. At least you responded.

Horrible
The most amateur app I’ve ever encountered .
It should be pretty straightforward but it’s not. It’s missing very important features such as, instruments, mic stands, amps.
Do not buy it !

SCAM!!
You cannot even put guitar or bass on the stage plot. Also there is no drum set. Highly unusable!!!
Utter tosh
What a waste of £3.49 (I know, it’s not exactly £££, but still!). Genuinely, don’t consider this if you’re looking to do a professional stage plan. I reverted back to creating something far more accurate on my laptop which might take a bit of time, but is not nearly as time consuming as waiting for a reply from the ‘help’ on this, and I should have trusted my gut in the first place. Ahhh well, live and learn.

Can’t believe I wasted money on this
This developer should rethink making apps
Terrible
Please don’t waste your money.
Good idea, very bad execution.
Good idea, very bad execution.
Nowhere near enough to do a professional plot
It’s worth spending the extra money on something like stage plot pro.
DO NOT BUY
This app is a waste of money. Read the description properly before you decide to waste your money. What is the point of a stage plot builder if you can’t add basic instruments? This app needs a full redevelopment.
Response from developer
You can add the inputs for the instruments, not the instruments themselves. This is explained in the app description.
Horrible app
This is the most ridiculous app I have ever used. It’s missing so many key items for stage plotting and it’s very hard to use. I would give it 0 stars if I could. Requesting a refund ASAP!
This app is trash
You can’t edit the icons, nor the list.
It’s missing other items and should have list separate from icons. If I want to edit list I should be able too. Not all icons are wanted on my connection list. I want a refund!!!

For help using the app, you can contact the developer. To request a refund, you can contact Apple.
Nothing on this works
I feel silly having paid for this. It should have been so easy.
