User Reviews
It is very hard to add a song. I don’t like this app at all for what I payed for it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So easy to use and helpful
Songbook always works for me, in all settings, gigs, jams, or at home. I heart others cussing at their devices when a song does not present well, or won’t change keys. Songbook always works for me. It has good features and gets occasional updates for requested features. Very solid.
I’ve been using this ap for years. So easy to look up song and change keys. Especially for an amateur musician.
I don’t want the nag screen asking for write and review. Why it doesn’t stop? It is very slow when I have many songs with tags. It should indexing previously for speed.
Google Drive support is being discontinued for all customers because developer does not want to certify for Google’s security standards, which it requires for all apps. Instead he would rather remove features you have enjoyed until now.
Update** developers continue to roll out updates, adding many nice features. I now have over 3000 songs in my library and I use the nearly daily. Probably my favorite app ever. Update** Love the new features in 3.9.3 Being able to see categories when in "all songs" view is VERY HELPFUL to me. Also appreciate displaying keys when sharing playlists. Thx! A few reviewers have given this poor reviews which I feel are undeserved. I have used the App for over 3 years both professionally (I'm in 2 bands) and personally (I use it at church and home). I have over 2000 songs in my personal collection. I use this app multiple times every day. I have never had the problems described by these new users writing reviews. Many of my songs were originally imported from the internet - but you soon learn to to edit them as they're often at least partially incorrect. But that's not this apps fault. In one of my bands we are all "power users" of this app. We use features like a shared Dropbox account, links to mp3s, metronome, auto scrolling and we sync all our iPads together on stage so we stay together. Never had a glitch with this app at all. Lots of features are available - it just takes time to learn to use them. I have the app on my iPhone, iPad and I also have the Mac version. I use the iPad for performances - but the other versions allow me the flexibility to add a song anywhere any time. I used to keep all devices song database in sync by emailing songs to myself and opening them in each device - but eventually I got a Dropbox account and that simplified things even more. Again - no problems. I've never had anything deleted or dropped. Actually you have to go through a 2 step process to delete stuff (unless you trash your Dropbox account). Which you should have backed up anyway. App is well supported by the Dev. Questions get answered within 48 hrs. New releases require you to relink to Dropbox if you're using that feature. Nothing catastrophic if you don't do that immediately though. Your song database continues to exist on each device but it won't sync changes until you relink everything. Don't let uninformed reviews keep you from getting the best app of its type. Get this app and LEARN TO USE IT. You will not regret it
Love it
I gig often and have for 20+ years this app is the only song book I will ever use. I have thousands of songs downloaded and saved to a cloud storage and on my devise. No subscription free song downloads. Amazing features for different instruments and to scroll together with band. So much more. The only one you will ever need.
I haven’t tried one of these apps before and it’s a great idea. This app is hard to learn and many songs won’t import.
La mejor aplicacion para escribir las canciones con acordes personalizados y sincronizar en diferentes dispositivos tanto ios como androide
