DeepDish GigBook FAQ
Is DeepDish GigBook free?
Yes, DeepDish GigBook is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is DeepDish GigBook legit?
⚠️ The DeepDish GigBook app has poor ratings and negative feedback. Users seem unsatisfied with its performance or features.
Used for many years successfully but upon upgrading to iPad Air - GigBook does not use full screen and there is no way to get support from the forum as there is no way to become registered. Seems to be no longer supported. Moving on.
Skip this and get iGigBook
This app hasn't been updated in years and the problems I've been having will probably never be fixed. I’ve moved on to iGigBook which has many more features with regular updates and very helpful technical support.
Thanks
All of a sudden I can add scores saved to Google-Drive! Thanks a bunch. Dropbox has gotten too expensive to upgrade.
The Best
Deep dish GigBook is the best PDF chart management app available for gigging musicians. They should charge a subscription… it’s worth much more than $10 for life!
The app is broken again with no support
Like many of you, I’ve become reliant on some apps for my day to day work. Gigbook is one. It was a four star app. This app has always been how I access my sheet music and connect to corresponding audio. As of the last Couple of iOS updates, the app has a few big problems. The biggest, for me, is that it crashes if I try to connect an audio track to a sheet. The other problem is the worst: no support. No replies. No updates. Which is awful. This was the case for a while. The app was abandoned and then, thankfully, picked back up and cared for. This no longer seems to be the case.
DeepDish: if you still exist and are reading this; please do not abandon this app and please fix the big bugs.
Latest bugs as of 11/23 iOS update:
*Can no longer input time signature. GUI turns white.
*Can no longer connect songs to Apple Music tracks. Existing song connections require tapping play (which does nothing) then stop and then play again.
*Super bookmark is busted. When trying to super-bookmark a page from a collection, the selected page can vanish and the screen suddenly flips to the end of the book collection.
*When trying to add songs to collection from “recently added” the most recent song is hidden because the list hides the top song.
No longer useful
New review
No longer useful. No one is monitoring the app!
With the new update from apple, almost nothing works!
Can’t put charts into set lists or folders, can’t even email sets.
Click on settings, and help, the app closes.
I’ve used it for years. Looks like I’ll have to go to forScore.
Very frustrating!
I've used GigBook for a few years now and love the app. I play several instruments and in 2 bands and do a solo project as well. This app can take your pdf files and you can put them into as many folders/binders and set lists as you need. Its easy to navigate to find songs or even collections/books that you download by just clicking from your iTunes account. Easy and handy as well. You can reverse pinch and make the page bigger, ad highlights or annotations. I use it with my iPad and don’t go to any practice or jam without it. Plus, the admin is very responsive to input! Highly recommended!
Great for the basics; needs an update
i’ve been using this for years and it has worked mostly well:
-syncs great with dropbox
-easy to learn and read menus and options
things i want it to do:
-transfer to my other devices
-transfer to another use without wifi
-stop crashing when trying to link audio samples to a chart
-read a document other than a .pdf
please update the bugs and features and i’ll gladly return!
No longer Works
Had used this app and liked it for years. Be aware that it does not work on new M based iPads. Very disappointed and to switch to forscore
No longer functional
I had used this app since it’s inception and hate to leave a bad review but it does not work on my new iPad. I am assuming since it hasn’t been updated in years that the company, no longer exists. I am switching to forscore unfortunately
