Your whole band, on the same page. When a band rehearses, everyone reads chords off their own phone, and every session runs into the same friction. "Which song are we playing?" "Where are we starting?" "I'm still on the first chorus." People are on the wrong version of the song, and the guitarist just changed the key while nobody else did. BandSync removes that. One person leads the session, and everyone else follows automatically. 1. Create a band and add your songs. 2. Start a session — a QR code appears. 3. The others scan it. No account needed to follow. 4. The leader picks a song, and it opens on every phone in the room. 5. The leader jumps to the second chorus, and the whole band goes with them. Autoscroll is supported too. PASTE A CHORD SHEET, GET A CLEAN SONG Song entry is the part that usually kills apps like this, so it is the part we spent the most time on. Copy any chord sheet off the web and paste it in. BandSync recognises chords sitting above lyrics as well as ChordPro tags, strips the formatting junk, and gives you a readable chart with proper sections: intro, verse, chorus, bridge. Paste a batch of songs at once and it splits them into separate entries. EVERYONE READS IT THEIR OWN WAY The band stays together, but each musician's screen is their own: • Set your own font size • Show or hide chords — singers can read lyrics only • Transpose to any key, or set a capo • Keep private notes on a song YOUR SONGS ARE YOURS BandSync is not a lyrics catalogue and ships with no songs. Everything in your band's library is content you put there. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
