Useful but flawed
Some incredibly useful features like the transposable jazz charts. However very confusing to use with non-standard user interface and all sorts of odd behaviours. Not helped by ugly interface.

Some incredibly useful features like the transposable jazz charts. However very confusing to use with non-standard user interface and all sorts of odd behaviours. Not helped by ugly interface.
This app is the reason I bought an iPad. It is easy to load charts from my laptop via iTunes. Once loaded it was quick to select charts into a set list for a gig, and apart from one drawback listed below, it was slick emailing everything to band members when I had finished. My set list was a mix of scanned charts and typed lyric/chord charts that I saved as PDFs. I had been a bit worried about the screen size being a bit smaller than A4, but the clear bright screen compensated for that. Just make sure you don't use a small font size; I would recommend at least size 14 font. Courier works better than more modern fonts. Also, making chord names bold helps them stand out from the lyrics. Although all of the above is sufficient for me to be delighted with this purchase, There are two things that haven't worked well: 1. I was delighted to find 1200 transposable charts were included with the app. However when I included some of these in a set list, they didn't email to band members. Maybe they don't save as true PDFs. If I could overcome this limitation it would greatly improve the value of the app. 2. One of the best features of this app has a bug. After forming a setlist for a gig, the app allows me to email the charts to my band members. However, it only attaches the first page of each chart: MAJOR DRAWBACK; PLEASE FIX.
