J.SHOW is the app for your J.SHOW platform. It puts everything you need on tour on your phone – and shows it even when there is no signal. You need access to a J.SHOW artist or agency platform. Without an account you cannot sign in here. What you get • Every event at a glance – upcoming, past, sorted by date or shown on the map • The single event with everything that belongs to it: venue, contacts, times, notes • The day sheet with running order, soundcheck and show • Travel, hotels and vehicles including addresses and booking references • Guest list – view it, add people, check them in at the door • Setlist and song pool • Every file for the event – rider, contracts, day sheets, venue plans – readable in the app and easy to pass on • Messages and mentions from your team • Push notifications when something about your event changes Works without a signal Backstage, on the bus, abroad: the app keeps your data on the phone. Open it and everything is there straight away – no waiting, no progress bar, no question of whether you are online. As soon as there is a connection again it fetches the new state in the background and swaps it in without interrupting you. Several platforms at once If you work for more than one artist, sign in to up to three accounts at the same time and see all their dates side by side. Switching takes one tap. Who it is for Artists, tour management, crew, booking and agencies – everyone on a J.SHOW platform. Who sees which events and which figures is decided by roles on the platform; the app shows exactly what you have been given access to. What J.SHOW is beyond this The platform itself brings tour planning, contracts, invoices, settlement, guest lists, travel and availabilities together in one place. The app is the part that travels with you. More at j.show

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Master Tour Mobile at 4.8 against J.SHOW's 4.0. Master Tour Mobile also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 2). J.SHOW's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Master Tour Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Master Tour Mobile has 3.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Master Tour Mobile's written reviews are positive against 86% of J.SHOW's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Master Tour Mobile ships an update every 2 months, J.SHOW every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
