Planning Center Music Stand for Positive User Reviews

✓ Great - but still some bugsThanks for a great app but help with a few remaining bugs please. The app takesover 40 seconds to save edits <made with an Apple pencil on an iPad Pro> and the edits briefly disappear and the music then briefly disappears. Also, will lose edits occasionally - and will hang up and need to be manually closed. Running your latest version (updates automatically). Keep up the good work! Thanks!.MSB6Version: 4.1.6

✓ Thank You for Fixing the Apple Pen BugsUPDATE: The latest update you mentioned appears to have solved my problem. You were correct in the assumption that I was using an Apple Pen. Thank you so much for the quick fix! I am adjusting my review accordingly to reflect the awesomeness of your app. Thanks! OLD: I have never had problems like this prior to this update, but now every other time I hit “done” after making annotation, all annotations get erased. Not just on the one page I am on, but multiple pages get erased. This wipes out a lot of my work and is extremely frustrating. Please fix as it makes the app useless. Prior to this I have been a big fan of it. Here’s hoping for a quick fix!.ElviteVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Essential to a healthy worship teamI’ve used Music Stand in concert with Services for over 10 years. After looking around at similar tools, this combo still comes out on top. No matter what church, camp, or worship event I’m leading, I’ll be using Music Stand and Services!._Cottonball_Version: 4.4.13

✓ Needs some improvementI haven’t had any issues but this desperately need to be added: A true dark mode similar to what the Services app has (including for the PDFs) worship tools music stand has this, and that is free, so I feel like this PAID app should have it..ZdtownseVersion: 4.4.13

✓ Long time userI’m impressed that the features keep improving. I noticed some of the other comments and wanted to mention some items. AirTurn conflicts: I also use AirTurn. The keyboard shrinks away because in fact the pedals are a Bluetooth keyboard. But my pedals have a button you can tap, and the iPad keyboard comes back up. Freezing: I’m not seeing that specific to Music Stand but there is a known issue in iOS 12 for background apps and freezing. “free”: the app is free but as the description explains, it’s a value add extension to a Planning Center account. Service pricing there is separate depending on your needs and use. It’s free for all our users to download and use, but our church pays on the backend for the required planning center feature tiers..CraigBowersVersion: 4.2.2

✓ AwesomeBetter than Adobe Reader.AnonU01Version: 4.5.0

✓ Recent update is inconvenient.I use this app on a weekly basis and it works mostly great. I love being able to make my own personal notes on songs and save them for future use. However, recently, there was an update that changed the way the songs are displayed in landscape view. I had been able to have 2 pages displayed and change the display one page at a time, with this update, I have to change 2 pages at a time. This simply doesn’t work for me unless every song is 2 pages or every song is one page. If I have a one page song and then a 2 pager, I will have pg 1 and pg1 on a screen and then pg2 is on the next screen. Super inconvenient, please fix this. 🙏🏻.GniqVersion: 4.2.5

✓ Mac Support IdeasI am aware this is not optimized for mac, but I appear to have no way to exit back to the main menu area once I have clicked on music. I would appreciate if a menu had a back option instead of closing the entire application. But, I use this on iOS and it is a great app. No complaints..BoeingPat787Version: 4.3.12

✓ Great appEasy to use.Bparker419Version: 4.3.12

✓ Great app, but one request please...Is there any way to prevent the audio files from advancing to the next song automatically? I would like to use Music Stand to run my loops since I’m already using a foot controller to turn pages. You have the skip file feature which is helpful, but really would prefer to just toggle the audio on based on which song is selected, while not having to worry about it starting the next one in the playlist during a service. Thoughts? Thanks for all you do to serve the church!.Psalter777Version: 4.1.1

✓ Soooo good! You want this app.Loving Music Stand. This app is so helpful for my creative team to access all our sheet music plus annotation from any of our musicians. This makes it super helpful when it comes to Christmas. If we ever want to do an arrangement or a song again, all your notes from you vocal directors and MD’s are saved forever in Music Stand. We’ve also added YouTube links, tempos to all our songs, which makes Music Stand the best app for teams to practice. Audio and click are right there in the song. Did I mentioned a built in click in Music Stand. Sooo good! If you need a helping hand in using the app, PCO has helpful videos on there Planning Center University page. Nothing like this app that I’ve seen. They’re also super helpful in getting back to you and even submitting suggestion. You’re gonna love this app..4bsy21Version: 4.2.8

✓ Hey guys! Suggestion!Awesome app, there’s a lot of interesting options in the settings. Suggestion: Can you add functionality to rotate the output 90 degrees? I’m referring to when you plug a monitor into an iPad via an HDMI output. I’m really trying to find a way to turn a monitor on its side to view 1 page of music on the entire external screen..FireonthehorizonVersion: 4.4.13

✓ Absolutely irreplaceableI use this app every weekend and it is incredibly convenient. I can’t imagine using any other app. Thank you!.StormtreadVersion: 4.2.8

✓ Really great!Makes band practice and performance really easy :) scheduling and organising music for Sunday’s is a breeze.Macz_202Version: 4.1.6

✓ Very Good App, serves a great purposeLove using the App from my iPad Pro. Let’s me see things clearly and has proven invaluable to our whole team. No more photocopying or paper shuffling. I’d like to suggest a feature which I call Performance mode. When we are in the middle of a worship service the app can too easily go into edit or resize mode when I’m merely trying to change the page. If we could turn on something to indicate we’re performing now, temporarily lock out edit features it’d be great. Trying to hit cancel on a zoom or tap to get out of edit mode while playing is a challenge..Mr Al 171Version: 4.1.1

✓ A must for PCO integration but let us see our item notes!I have used this app for years with our orchestra and worship team. Many of our musicians choose to use it for rehearsal and services. It’s come a long way in recent years that make it more useable. We need two big improvements. 1. We need to be able to see Item Notes on the service Home Screen and/or overlaid at the top of a chart (like you do the next up feature). Our church teams cannot see item notes in this app and it is a big frustration. 2. Create button links to jump pages for Codas, Repeats or Cuts. As a conductor I often have to turn back 3-5 pages for repeats and many of the musicians a page or two. These two changes and I think this app goes to 5 star status. Thanks for all you do to help resource the church!.DMBC-OrchVersion: 4.5.0

✓ Very helpful!This app has been a game changer for our team! We love it and use it all the time. I do wish we could save “per song” / “per user” choices of how the metronome works. For example if I have a song in 6/8 time at 80bpm and it helps me to see the flash at “2x” - but the very next song is best viewed at “1x” (normal)... it doesn’t do that. Future update!? Thanks Planning Center - you guys are great!.Wayne_cortVersion: 4.2.7

✓ Incompatibility issues are annoyingPlease allow all iPad versions to use this app. Most churches that use this app buy older versions for their teams so they have enough for everyone. It is annoying to suddenly not be able to use the app when the iPad you have can no longer use the app. The app is essentially a PDF reader and does not need constant updates that force ministries to constantly update expensive equipment like iPads..TenortoddVersion: 4.3.11

✓ Good but annotation issuesI’ve used this app for years but recently it’s become buggy. Annotations won’t save and it just spins and locks you out. I’m running the latest version. Please fix and I’ll update my review. UPDATE: At first it was not solved with the update but the next day it started working. Thanks for the quick response!.RevbdeVersion: 4.3.8

✓ Landscape problemWhen songs with 2 pages, (lyrics and chords) are in landscape, and I have a 1 page song in the line up, it won’t let me turn the page to the 1 page song. Most times I have to go to the end of all the songs in the line up, and then make my way back to the 1 page song. This is a problem when we are in the middle of a set. Thanks in advance for fixing this. Lisa.Lisasutton70Version: 4.3.6

✓ AirTurn conflictsNormally, I would not this app high with the issue I have, but it works well otherwise. I use a page turning app and the related Bluetooth hardware called Airturn when playing or practicing. However, if the airturn pedals are connected via Bluetooth, the ability to add annotations via an on screen keyboard is none existent. Somehow, my iPad thinks the connected Airturn pedals are a keyboard so it doesn’t display it. Maybe the two companies could work together to solve the problem..WohlguaVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Let’s face it, PC is all that & a bag of chips too!LOVE the Planning Center app. Is it perfect? No. Are there bugs from time to time? Yes! But the PC team is very quick to help resolve issues. I have not used paper since I started using this app and hope I never do. And the trees like PC too! 🌲🌳🌴 (do you know how long I had to scroll to find the perfect emoji tree^^^?).Raythe3rd!!!Version: 4.2.6

✓ I lost all my notations....but got them backThe update caused me to lose my notations, but Matt and the support team there worked hard to find me a temporary work around and they are in the process of sending out an update to permanently fix the problem. So what started out as a 1 star review, they have turned into a 5 star rating. Thanks guys!!!.Rollin4dukeVersion: 4.0.1

✓ Love this app but my one complaintSo I’ve been using this app for years. I would play a song from my iTunes and follow along the chords to practice. I can’t do that anymore cause the app stops music playback. I wish you had a choice..JoeymaderaVersion: 4.3.1

✓ Audio Player - Fading In and OutThere needs to be an option to fade out the audio player within Music Stand. I love using this resource and use it every weekend where I lead, however, one thing I wish I could do is add MP3 files of Ambient Pads into a song, and start and stop the pad from my foot switch, and have the pads fade in and out when started/stopped. I can start the pad with how the audio player works now, but it would be great to be able to have an option to fade the MP3 file out when stopped, instead of an abrupt stop. This would allow me to control the pads with my feet, which would be much easier!.ShootagusVersion: 4.3.1

✓ Inconvenient: Good Things come to those who WaitI have been using music stand for over 3 years and I love it. It has been a can’t live without tool. BUT . . . Starting back in February I have been having an issue with getting changes in my chord charts from planning center and my iPad Pro. Once I download my set to my iPad I can not update my changes from Planning Center unless I uninstall the app from my iPad and then reinstall it. I wish someone could help me resolve this issue. Any takers? It’s time to update my review. I am not sure where the glitch was weather with apple or this app but it no longer exists. Right after your last update 3 days ago. When I make changes in planning Center I can now update my iPad without uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it. Today was the first time in 8 months my iPad has updated. Hallelujah Parise the Lord!!!!! This is now working the way it was before February of this year. This will literally save me hours of time and a ton of frustration..Frankie&BarbieVersion: 4.2

✓ Can’t open app after 4.5.2 update it just crashes when opening tried everythingApp pretty broken today please help.NZJ4M5T3RVersion: 4.5.2

✓ Metronome fix!Thanks so much for fixing the metronome issue recently. I appreciate the concern for the problem and the speed at which the request was handled and fixed! I enjoy the app as well as planning center. I am on a worship team at church and we use this and it’s very helpful.Cook59jVersion: 4.3.5

✓ Super useful appNew update is nice, but gone is the little bubble that shows the track clock while scrubbing or setting loop limits. It makes it very difficult to accurately scrub to an exact point in the track. Update: the “scrubbing bubble” is back! Thanks to the tech support team for the quick help in resolving..NathanielllllVersion: 4.1.1
