I built it for my own use, and I couldn’t be happier if other musicians find it useful for their own live experience. IMPORTANT: LivePrompter needs your song files to be stored in a Dropbox folder, so you’ll need a Dropbox account to use LivePrompter. You will need to authorize LivePrompter to access your Dropbox, so the song files can be downloaded to your mobile device.
