And it’s extremely intuitive to use. Being able to sync devices over the cloud is bonus. Well worth the money. ### 4/5 — PDF confusion *2026-01-14, version 3.8.37* Other than that, wonderful! ### 5/5 — The Beast of them all !! *2026-01-10, version 3.8.37* I’ve been using Onstage Performer since the early 00’s and it only ever ran on XP - I found ST3 a while back but didn’t dive in, past two months I’m absolutely hooked and at last I can use a stable app on my MacBook bought a cheap router and now I can have my iPad at a gig for lyric display, amazing awesome 5 star app with brilliant support ! Thanks to the devs great work it is what has been missing for years and at this price point then wowza ### 5/5 — Stage use *2026-01-06, version 3.8.37* I use this quite often on stage now I’m only a solo artist, so some of the functions of this don’t really apply to me but once you get everything in sync and you get your timing is right for the way it scrolls this is an absolutely amazing product, and I am extremely happy that I found it! I recommend this for anybody who either just wants to scroll music, lyrics, or if you wanna do backing tracks. ### 5/5 — Absolute best *2026-01-05, version 3.8.37* Great app ### 5/5 — Unequalled *2026-01-02, version 3.8.37* Stands head and shoulders above other systems. Each time I sit down with it I find new things to do. Now apart from lyrics and PDFs, of course there are multitrack accompaniments, I also use it to send midi commands to my Helix, to the keyboard player’s devices and to midi to DMX controller. The whole stage can be run from ST3. ### 4/5 — Room for improvement *2025-12-16, version 3.8.36* I’ve been searching for a playlist app which does the following: uses stems, has a stem mixer, allows song sections (intro, verse, chorus etc), shows a song playback track, manages playlists, allows ad-hoc jumping between song sectors, works on ipad and mac, has easy transfer of songs or playlists between the two, syncs playlists and songs across devices. ST3 ticks a lot of these boxes, and it will probably become my main playlist app. However, it could be a lot lot better. Here’s how: 1) move the mixer out of song settings and into the playlist screen - mixer settings could still be saved with each song, but altered easily on the fly; 2) make the playback track and song section names much bigger vertically so its easier to see - there’s enough space to do this, or make it an option to display it large; 3), make the creation of song sections much easier by allowing the playhead to be moved around to easily identify where sections start - entering the start and end times is a good fallback but a tactile approach would be much more efficient; 4; there must be an easier way of getting songs/playlists off mac/OneDrive and onto ipad. Overall, Ableton does a much more comprehensive job but is overkill and is not available for ipad. Multitracker has a great GUI with everthing in the right place but does not seem to allow song sections. Playback/Multitrack has clunky cloud-based song migration, and is too expensive. Everything else pales by comparison to these four solutions, but ST3 could be THE ONE with just a few minor improvements. ### 5/5 — KevKeys *2025-12-13, version 3.8.36* This program has been so thoughtfully put together. It is stable, reliable and so versatile that along with a wireless MIDI adapter for my keyboard, it has become a seamless solution to me running tracks on-stage. I only wish that it could generate a click track on its own by putting the bpm and length of the song in. That would help with lyric-only songs so they scroll, in time. Otherwise, I love it. ### 5/5 — Pro gigging singer/musician *2025-12-08, version 3.8.35* The best app available !! Thank you Peter. 👍🙂🎶 ### 5/5 — Review *2025-12-04, version 3.8.35* Excellent product ## Frequently asked questions about Stage Traxx 3 ### What does Stage Traxx 3 do?
