The Lobster App vs Magic Scroll!

The Lobster app is designed to make it easier to find gigs and music artists in your area, and discover new music. We want to give a platform for small and emerging artists to share their original music with an audience that loves discovering and supporting new music, live gigs and small venues. The App allows artists to upload their music and gig dates, and fans to play music and search for artists and gigs in their local area. The Lobster app also gives small and grassroots venues a platform to upload upcoming gigs. With so many smaller and grassroots venues closing and emerging artists increasingly fighting against algorithms and AI, we wanted to do something to try to protect the live music ecosystem. We want to keep creativity, pay on the door, special sticky floors, passion, seeing your mates band, merch on pub tables, community, personality, borrowing a spare mic and all the things that make these spaces and these artists so irreplaceable.

Bring your own songs, play by your own rules. Enjoy auto-scrolling chord charts, a community library, and a distraction-free reader. Magic Scroll is a reader and platform embracing our tradition of sharing music. Built around traditional and folk music communities, Magic Scroll is designed to make it as simple as possible to play music, either by yourself or with the people around you! - Add your own music-- Songs you like, songs you've written, and even sheet music in midi, .abc, and .mxl format! - Save songs locally to share with friends, family, or bandmates. - Access your music offline anytime, anywhere. - Transpose any song or tune with ease. - Make personal edits to the songs in your library to suit your needs. - Change font size depending on what device you're viewing on. - Access chord diagrams across multiple instruments and alternate tunings. - Simplify chords for newer/less experienced players and readers. - Yes, we have autoscroll! It is magic, after all. - Metronome and a tuner packaged in to keep you sounding great! - Robust printing options for sharing music without screens! - Fully customisable themes and colours to create your best possible experience. (We have a dark mode!) - Submit your own music and collections so other players can enjoy them! And, unlike certain other music apps: - Totally ad-free. Totally subscription-free. Totally free of bloat, pop-ups, or hidden charges. - I'm serious. No "Pro" account, no freemium, no in-app purchases. Powered by donations. Powered by love. - I feel like I can't emphasise this hard enough. I don't want your money. I want you to make music. Problems? Feedback? I'm happy to help!
