### 2/5 — Not compatible with VST LIVE 3

*2026-01-31*

Not compatible with VST LIVE 3 🥴

### 1/5 — 4 years, not working

*2026-01-27*

Like the title says

### 5/5 — It works

*2025-07-31*

Works well but could do with some customisation features like Zoom, Font sizes etc.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2024-08-06*

Oh the frustration when it just says Offline. No help or instructions to be found anywhere. Lucky I did the try before buy.

### 3/5 — not consistent

*2024-01-10*

When it works, it works well. sometimes the lyrics and chords don't show up. But the transport is scrolling. And super difficult to get any support from Steinberg.

### 1/5 — Chord charts not working properly

*2022-06-22*

The chord charts for this app don’t match the chord charts in the desktop version. The timing is off which makes the app useless for reading chords.
