EasySetlist is a super-easy way to organize your song sheets. You can import your song PDFs, create setlists and view your chords. I'm a musician myself and was looking for a simple way to have my PDF chord sheets available and organize them into setlists. While there are many options out there with many cool features, I needed something plain and simple. That's why I created EasySetlist. EasySetlist supports page turning pedals which work by simulating key strokes (i.e., left/right arrow or up/down arrow). Most of the widely used pedals should work now. You can share setlists with other EasySetlist users. Sharing works by sending an archive file to the other user via any means you like (mail, Dropbox, Airdrop, etc.). Since this feature also works via AirDrop, it does not require internet connectivity, so can be used directly on stage even when there's no Wifi. EasySetlist can be used for free for 10 songs. If you like the app, you can remove this limitation through a small one-time(!) in-app purchase. This means: * no subscription * no expensive fees * no ads * no obligatory user account * no required internet connection * no tracking of your app usage A small one-time purchase and the app is unlocked forever. Try it out for free!
Verdict
