Rotating, positioning, and sizing to plot scale is frustrating on an iPad with limited workspace and arthritic fingers. I bought the "full feature" version and have gone back to Sharpie on paper on the job because the app is slow to use and has too many insufficiencies to make it practical in a realtime festival setting. UPDATE: And now I'm expected to "resubmit" sign in info to use app. Helpfully suggests my Google, Facebook, Apple accounts for signing in. I bought the damn thing, I shouldn't have to sign in every time I want to use it. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-04-24, version 8.7.8* Doesn’t do everything I need. I bought a stage plot program online for the same price that does so much more. Tip: Don’t have the gray background on your plots, you can distinguish anything on the plot if it’s printed! ### 1/5 — Ryder elliott *2026-04-18, version 8.7.8* This game is bad I in and it says put continue and I hit it 20 times and bnothing happens so 1⭐️ ### 1/5 — Just an ad *2026-01-21, version 8.7.8* Not free, must purchase… just an ad for their app. Shady tactic means shady people means shady app. No thanks. UPDATE: the developer contacted me and felt that me being honest about how they misrepresent the product as free and then bait and switch you into buying it was a personal attack. Their rude response definitely cements my comments as factual about how they do business. Stay away and go with a reputable company with good support instead of this sloppy app. There are much better options to be had, which is the route we took. Thank heavens we did, from their response to an honest review we can see we made the right choice to avoid this developer, their tactics, their poor attitude, and their lack of professional customer service. To the developer: telling the truth is not a “personal attack” or a “false claim”, if you feel the truth is these things then you are shady, as I originally stated… and you just confirmed it. Good luck with your business, try to improve and maybe the truth won’t hurt so badly. ### 3/5 — More free features *2026-01-08, version 8.7.8* I really like the app I won’t lie. It has really cool features but I just wished it had just a little bit more free features so I can test it out a bit more. I ended up paying and really like it but I’m writing for those who probably would still want to try out other options. Really good app though, just needs improvements for the last two stars :) ### 1/5 — Stage Layout and printing difficult to work with *2025-10-09, version 8.7.4* Can’t adjust background to fit the stage and printing cuts off the plot, equipment list, etc making it incomplete. Had to do a screen grab to get whole stage printed….Big problems!!! Awful interface… ### 1/5 — would give it 0 if i could *2025-10-06, version 8.7.4* can only use instruments! cant even put a stage!! ### 1/5 — Won’t even open *2025-09-16, version 8.7.1* Downloaded this to test and trial 16 sept 2025. I see a splash screen and it immediately closes/crashes. Unusable at least for me. ### 1/5 — Bad!!! I want my money back! *2025-07-25, version 8.7.1* Not good at all!!! ### 1/5 — Aggravating To Edit *2025-07-11, version 8.7.1* The 3d perspectives on the icons (such as keyboards on stands, speaker cabinets, drums, amps, mic stands, etc) make it hard to simply place items side by side or at clean angles on the plot. Rotating, positioning, and sizing to plot scale is frustrating on an iPad with limited workspace and arthritic fingers.
