Excellent App

I highly recommend to professional Singers.

Great program except..... IPad Pro users

mattliveguitar on

United States

Program works great almost. I’m an extensive user of this app. I’ve been paying for it for about 3 years now. The organization of my music is great on this app. I have about 12 hours of music and lyrics on my device, and I can easily find anything I want whenever I want it. Volume control from my Bluetooth pedal is great too! I play about 200 shows a year and i consider this money well spent. HOWEVER…. I recently (6 months ago) got a brand new iPad Pro. Now if I switch to another app like settings, Mail, notepad , or whatever; it will freeze the SONGBOOK PLUS app when I return to it. Not a huge glitch, but an annoyance as I get song requests and like to make notes during shows. I lived with it for a few months hoping it would go away. Then I contacted support. They asked me to explain the problem, then they replied that I was using it wrong, They told me not to switch to a different program while using the app. I answered that I understand how to work around it, but that I was curious if they had plans to fix it. They replied that it was Apple’s fault for updating the iOS so often and not theirs. Grrrr. None of my other apps have this problem with stability. SO IF YOU HAVE AN IPAD PRO, BE AWARE ITS NOT STABLE. other than that, it’s a great app. I wish I’d known this when I bought my iPad Pro.

Crashes during live performance

TicoMyers on

United States

Using video playback on a loop - and the app just shuts down leaving only an iPad desktop showing on a huge audience facing stage monitor. Unacceptable during live performances

The best app ever !!!

This cool app

Full version won’t open

Shabutch on

United States

I liked the free version so I purchased the one time fee for the full version, but wouldn’t let me get past the 15th song so I tried to purchase again and it told me I already have the full version, yet still can’t load anymore songs.

Stopped working after 2 songs uploaded

Caleb L6 on

United States

The functionality of this app is questionable. I was testing the free trial before committing to upgrade and after importing two songs from Dropbox, it no longer works. I would hate for this to happen to others after spending money on the app. It looked decent initially, but a lot of bugs left that devs need to figure out.

Not so great..

675gm on

United States

I put 200 or so songs in only to find out you can’t change the size of the words or alter a song that’s wrong. Not very happy after all the work putting them in.

Robust and stable app for on-stage

JoeH_USA on

United States

I love this app! I was using OnSong, but abandoned it because it just had too many bugs. I moved all my timeline and MIDI control to Ableton Live, stage lighting to LightKey and iPad song sheet displays to SongBook+. I easily import PDF songsheets into it using the finder and assign a MIDI command to each song so that Ableton live set can call them up. Ableton sends MIDI commands to scroll everyone’s iPads… This approach has worked great for me now for over 6 months. I’m so glad I am using the right tool for each job. SongBook+ might not have all the flashy bells and whistles other programs might have, but it has one much more important feature: it works flawlessly and reliably! Also, my songsheets are easily created in Word and converted to pdf for import - these standard tools allow easy editing and ultimately produce better looking displays! Backups are also a breeze using standard Finder interface… Lastly, the support team is very responsive and professional in answering inquiries.
