Set Genie – Setlist Helper

This is a phenomenal tool for a musician - easy to stay organized and find related songs for sets using custom tags, even with the free version. My only complaint is that there is no way of deleting or editing tags once they have been entered. I have saved a couple of typos by accident and have found no way of correcting them.

I love this app. Thank you, Andrew, who provided great customer service when I found a problem with the Export function. It now works perfectly - we’ll be using it this weekend with a new member.

Good app, but not what I’m looking for. Developer: I tried it, but it didn’t provide what I needed. Only had it on my iPad for an hour. Can I get a refund?

No piano chords, I thought this would be a great help, add more instruments when building out chord charts! Also would be cool if they let you add the song to listen to while playing.

1) I wish I never had to print out and tape or hole punch a chart ever again 2) I wish I never had to scratch out umpteen set lists right before we take the stage 3) I wish I had 3 more wishes After using this app on the stand in professional situations it becomes immediately clear the value of this awesome time- and stress-saving tool. If you are a bandleader, say ta-ta to the days of scrambling to print, tape, and organize charts. Now, instead of stressing about scratching out 9 copies of a set list, you can relax and take those precious 10 or 15 minutes right before a gig to use the loo, or grab a quick drink or a drag, or meditate , or call your mother.... If you have a function gig, like a wedding and you need everyone to be on the same [digital] page ALWAYS, and sometimes at a moment’s notice, (you know, drunk guest requests, read the room.... sometimes you just gotta call a quick audible and play ‘Like a Prayer’ instead of ‘Uptown Funk’...) no one in the band (which may include a sub who doesn’t know the book) has to lift a finger. Everything is synced at a touch of a few buttons and a swipe or two DEFINITELY worth checking this app out. Once you do, you won’t ever want to go back to the antiquated ways of the analog age Do yourself and your band a favor and let set genie grant your wishes

Nothing kills a party like long spaces of silence while the band figures out what to play next or they have to wait for a well-meaning, but unorganized band member to flip through pages in a binder to find their chart. This app fixes that and other problems, so you’ll have a seamless and professional show. This app was clearly developed by real working musicians to address issues arising in real live situations. Looking forward to using it more!

SetGenie is a powerful tool for organizing song/tune repertoires, creating set lists, storing charts, lyrics, chords, and other song information - and easily sharing these libraries, set lists and charts with other musicians. My favorite features (unique to Set Genie!) include "Live Mode" and the ability to assign multiple charts to a song, such as parts for different instruments. Musicians in a band can all wirelessly connect their iPads/iPhones together to sync up to a set list for a show/rehearsal. Whenever the bandleader taps on a song name on the set list, all the other iPads show which song has been selected, and the appropriate chart for each musician pops up automatically! (e.g. The saxophonist sees the saxophone chart, the trumpeter sees the trumpet chart, etc.) This works great for our wedding band! Musicians can even annotate (mark up) their parts and send all the annotations back to the bandleader after the show/rehearsal. Another cool (and unique) feature is the set list generator, which learns patterns from the set lists you create, and intelligently uses this information when generating new set lists. It’s a great app with many handy features - don’t snooze on it! P.S. There is a comprehensive manual available in the app.

This app has literally changed my life as a bandleader. I’m in numerous different bands and each one has different song lists. I write the sets for every band I play with. This app helps me keep them all separate. It also allows me to create compelling, unique set lists depending on the room, the crowd, and the band I’m playing with. Because I end up writing between 2 and 5 setlists a week, this app has drastically cut down the time I need to obsess over different song lists. In fact, for a month I didn’t have the app and all the bands fell apart. Literally. We ended up playing the same limited number of songs because I couldn’t remember any other songs we played. Ha. I rely on this thing constantly and fully. If you find yourself crafting setlists, this app is a dream come true. It’s so easy to use, so intuitive, and so sexy. Don’t miss out. It will save you time and energy that you can put into your performance. Do yourself a favor and get Set Genie.
