Great tool, except I’d like to add written notes with my Apple Pencil on my iPad to help when I’m singing harmonies. At band practice we may change something and there is no way that I have found to make a quick personal note. I can do that on Notability. I need an app that has features of both.For what it is, it’s good.

They’ve made this app way difficult than it should be. Just want to scroll while doing live performance using two finger click like it said. I can’t find it even after looking at the help video 50 times. Don’t make stuff so complex it’s never good!

I haven’t used any other similar stage plot apps, so I can’t really compare it with any of the others. I’m a longtime user of BandHelper and love it so I figured this app would be good as well and I was not disappointed. Like any other app, it takes a couple of minutes to figure it out with a little trial and error here and there but in a short time I was up and running and had a professional looking stage plot. I recommend this app! Thanks, Arlo.

This app changed how my band and I play and share songs. Everything that used to be hard is now easy. Works great on my iPad and my phone. One of my all time favorite apps.

$15 hike in prices coming March? Quite a jump don’t you think?

Love the app and the committed support of the developer! Such a powerful app, talk about value for a gigging musician! Bandhelper was the next logical step for Setlist Maker! Incorporating, midi, scheduling, finance, makes this app A Home Run! Arlo has created something helpful for busy musicians!

Do yourself a favor and get this app! So many useful tools! I absolutely rely on it for every aspect of my gigging and practicing. Been a sub for many years now and have never regretted it. Only way I could benefit from it more is if I would utilize the MIDI functionality and the Finance portion. Two aspects I haven’t tried out yet, but might, some day.

The main reason I was interested in this app was to take advantage of its Midi capabilities. I use a guitar synth that has a very clunky interface, (looking at you, Roland) and was looking for a way to streamline selecting patches, mostly between songs. It works perfectly for this application, connecting to my synth using a bluetooth midi adapter, and after spending some time setting up program changes in the app, my entire song list now automatically activates the correct patch for each song. One non-obvious thing also, you can add as many Midi Presets to a song as you want, and use that song as a menu to select presets when a song is not on the set list… Brilliant! If that was all it did, it would be worth the monthly fee to me, but it has much more capability than I’ll ever need. I have found it easy to navigate, and getting started was a breeze. I can see that its mainstream value is in set lists, with lyrics and chords in your device in many different configurations, but the midi stuff is the thing that seals the deal for me. Also I would like to compliment the developer on the outstanding tutorials and support docs; very complete and easy to understand.

This improved my musical life! I was old school binder guy. Now I use this every week, either performing or just having a fun jam with friends and family. And it works on my really old iPads!
