Perfect for me
I was introduced to this app by a musician friend and thought I ‘d give it a try. My needs are simple and had numerous charts in Apple Pages. This made i easy to export to a PDF and load them using the App. Very easy to use. I like how easy it is to create and modify set lists and I like being able to add a metronome to the charts. It works very well with an Airturn PED 500 footswitch. I have not used the slaving function yet but have seen it work well with 5 iPads. I am very pleased with it.

I Love UnrealBook
I’ve been using this app for a few years now, and it is such an integral part of my live performance rig. This app does so much from simple charts, stage promp, midi contol, everything!
The developer is also very responsive!
I can’t say enough good about this app.
Thank you for designing it.

Simple yet powerful
This app solved my music cataloging and scrolling problems. Please keep this app going!
It’s become useless
I depended on unrealBook for my musical performances. For 17 years it’s been my backbone. But it has become so difficult to access files from my Dropbox that this programme is now utterly useless. I even paid for UnrealBook 1 but that is equally as useless. Once you stop it being able to accept new files it’s rubbish!

Must have app
I play worship on Sunday’s and this app is how i organize and annotate my worship sets. Thanks to the folks who made and maintain it.
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO USE!!!
I hate this app! It doesn’t let you nest files for organization! It alphabetizes songs when creating new set lists, even in set list mode!!! And it says you can edit lists, but it’s not letting me edit the one I just created!!! How is this POS better than just using Dropbox or Google Drive??? SPOILER ALERT!!! ITS NOT!!! ITS ACTUALLY WORSE!!!

THANKS!!!!!

Each Update downgrades the app
I’ve used this app for over 10 years and it gets more buggy and more cumbersome with each update. When uploading a file, a glitch resizes and shifts whichever file is already open. I haven’t been able to assign any writing utensils to write in white in months. You can’t “undo” any writing/notations you’ve made on a file if you made them before the most recent update. I could go on and on. Please get it together or I’ll have to jump ship.

UnrealBook
I like it. Use it every day. I can make set list(s) but I just put a combo list of tunes that I play the most in one big list. For me that's about 200 tunes. Works for me.

cannot get pedal to change pages left and right, have spent 2 hours on research, nothing is working!
Well worth it!
This app is easy to use; well worth the cost! I add music often, & easily Our group saves time at practice (no music-shuffling; no huge, heavy notebooks tipping over music stands); and we always have all our music whenever we practice!
Excellent music organizer
This app allows you to organize all those bootleg PDFs of the real book and other fake books and easily retrieve them on a gig. It actually can organize any library of PDFs files, not just music, and also makes it really easy to add new individual charts, even hand-written ones. I use it pretty much every day.

The best app for iPad music reading and much more
I have been using this app now for more than a decade and it continues to be fantastic. The creator is incredibly responsive and always updating the app to do more things. I use it primarily for my jazz trio and I am able to provide iPads for the Drummer and Bass Player and I can turn the pages for them. They never have to ask what song is next. It is always right in front of them! This app is a lifesaver for band leaders. I also know that some very high profile bands and music directors use this application to not only pull up songs but also to change patches on synthesizer in real time, etc.. There is seemingly no end to what the unrealBook is capable of. it truly lives up to its name.

This thing is Great!
I have used this app daily for about 12 years now. It is an excellent way to make sure you always have your music, lyrics, set list, etc. on hand.
The best choice!
This app is nearly perfect, and so affordable! I downloaded a bunch different apps in different price ranges a couple weeks ago when I decided to make the change from paper to digital charts. Of all the apps I tried (OnSong, SongbookPro, SongSheetPro, ForScore and a few others) I find it to be the most useable- it’s like having a piece of paper in your hand, but without the mess that come along with paper. I love that I can write all over it with my Apple Pencil, but also add proper, neat text boxes if I need them. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it still feels a little like a beta version— it could be a lot more intuitive and user friendly. You really have to hunt for some of the features, and it’s a bit clumsy to navigate. But it’s fully loaded with everything you need. I would definitely recommend to friends- I already have! One specific request: please add more shortcuts for pen/highlighter options across the top of the editing page. Thank you for this awesome app! I look forward to seeing how it gets polished and perfected in the next few updates!

Truly the Best APP Ever For Gigging Musician
I’ve used unrealBook now for 13 years, the APP has become an indispensable tool for all my gigs. The developer has continued to add useful features. I’ve never felt like I needed to look for a better APP. Rarely has the APP crashed. I do notice it gets slightly sluggish as the iPad & O/S ages. Most musicians I worked with over the years use unreal book - it’s the gold standard of sheet music APPs.
