SongBook Chordpro for Positive User Reviews
✓ Excellent supportEmails returned with solutions within 24 hours. Apps works flawlesly. I dropped other app that I hab been using for 10 years. Very happy with app. Many une pected features..Version: 5.7
✓ Very handy & well designedI use this little app more and more each day. Well done!!!.Version: 1.8
✓ Best iPhone app for Ukulele playersI have tried a number of different apps, both paid and free, to help with showing ukulele chords and lyrics. This app is perfect. You can have chords shown either on the width or length of the phone, you can transpose the song, you can set it to scroll the lyrics as you play. I don't get why anybody learning to play wouldn't love this app. It really is perfect for my needs..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Useful app!I've have been using this for days and it's exactly what I needed, well, almost.. Pdf reader could be better....Version: 4.3.3
✓ This App is the best!This app keeps getting better every update. Keep it coming guys!!!.Version: 5.7
✓ Great easy to use. Super practical!I had been using this app for a long time now and I can recommend it! I have a extensive amount of songs that I use every Saturday for worship and this app had become my little helper. I can connect my songs from iPhone to iPad and I can transpose chords in a fly with no problem. Dev is updating this in timely manner and they responded quick when I pointed to a bug..Version: 4.8.2
✓ Manages my music brilliantlyA great app that does almost everything I want. Love the ability to display only the lyrics on an external display using the Apple TV. And really quick tech help if you do need it..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Best purchase so farAwesome app that I'm using all the time. Only con is if it syncs to Dropbox then it doesn't save playlists very well. I've assigned playlists and then come back to find them all missing....Version: 2.1
✓ BrilliantIt's just what I was looking for. Simple and easy to use. I had tried OnSong before but that just crashed..Version: 2.1
✓ Thank you for updatesThank you for the updates that allow Songbook to work on older iPads. Appreciated..Version: 5.7.3
✓ Almost brilliantStill the best App for ChordPro files. Love the new 'Recently Viewed' tab, helps remember what you were playing last night, Hic!!! STILL needs to sort out the playback buttons though, can be difficult to use and confusing. Now there are even more but they need to be simplified and had a ]Back' button in all of them, when you go to things like 'Metrognome' the only way to get back is to come out of song altogether and go back in..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Can't fault it!This is not the only chord book app, but it's by far the best one. This is the only one that's still on my iPad, as it has just the right features to be useful and is as stable as... a... very stable thing. I've never had it crash on me - maybe I'm just very lucky. Other reviews suggest it's crashed for other people but I've not experienced that myself. Love the auto-zoom, love the set-only transposing, love the layout and the simplicity, love that I can completely rely on it when I'm playing live. Maybe I'm not 100% convinced by the way set lists are displayed and it'd be nice to be able to archive sets, but neither of those things are actually problems with the app. Keep up the good work!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ SuperFacile à utiliser et à comprendre!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Superb app.Deserves 6 stars. Well thought out design, both in terms of ease of use, and functionality, and implemented without fault :-).Version: 2.0.1
✓ SongbookThis app is a good enough reason to buy an iPad..Version: 2.1
✓ Excellent App and ServiceI have used another app for years that slowly but surely got way too big and complex beyond its original purpose. This app does exactly what it says and limits its functionality to what is needed to maintain neat and organized charts. I wrote the author once asking a question and received an almost immediate reply unlike other apps that take forever to acknowledge your existence This is a great app and you will not be disappointed. Thank you.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Songbook 2.1Great app. Use it all the time for performances..Version: 2.1
✓ Notes updateThis update doesn’t work for me on my iPhone or iPad in playlists and I would like to revert back to the previous version!!!!!! After writing this review the Note option in Playlists now appears to be functioning correctly allowing for the creation of a note or several without corrupting the ChordPro format of the song as it had been doing. Thank you..Version: 5.1
✓ Best of the chord lyric appsThis is a fantastic app. I wanted to find a means to have all the songs I know available in an easily readable chord lyric format suitable for playing acoustic piano versions and this is it. It's very easy to use, songs are easy to edit and put in the correct chords (there are a lot of errors in the Chordie songs in terms of chords) You can even just download lyrics and input your own chords from scratch. The ability to link songs to iPod songs is great too as I have mp3 backing track versions of most of the songs I play which is great for checking chords/ arrangements and having the full backing with you whenever you need it. Another great feature is being able to change the key of all the chords at the push of a button on the fly. I now have my songs with me at all times on my iPad and iPhone all synced and backed up on Dropbox. Brilliant - Where's that piano?.Version: 1.8
✓ Excellent work horse of am appManaged to get my entire repertoire all on my iPad. Use it at every gig..Version: 2.1
✓ Absolutely BrilliantBeen looking for something like this for quite some time and this is everything you could possibly want to make your life much easier with playlists, transposing songs in an instant and adding songs quickly synchronizing with your Dropbox account is a snap, now all my songs and backing tracks are in one area and my music team all read off the one page!.Version: 2.1
✓ Learning currveThe learning curve can get frustrating but if you can get through it… instruction for very beginners is hard to find. Now I recommend it to friends and show them how to use it..Version: 5.5.1
✓ WowThis is a great app for working players. Once you get the hang of it you will find it very easy to use and work with. It has everything you need for chords and lyrics. I use it for gigs for that purpose. I don’t use charts so I can’t grade that part but for lyrics and chords it’s is awesome. Getting songs from the web could not be easier! I had some stored in Word and converted them via “note pad” on the PC. Others I got from Ultimate Guitar. Just get to the tune and import it in the program. Easy! I highly recommend this app for gigging players. You will love the ease of use .... and the support could not be better..Version: 4.7
✓ Just what I've been looking forAwesome for playing live with my tabs collection.. Great app.Version: 2.1
✓ Teleprompter saves paper good bye notebooks of musicHow many banjo pickers does it take to transpose a song with more than three chords? Just one if they have this app! Goes from I IV V to G C D from simple text file format. Internet importer keeps getting smarter. Well done. Money well spent 🎶 Now if we can fix all the lyrics typos online. The latest upgrades make this app even better. scale to fit wireless printing, PDF viewer. Great job!.Version: 5.7.3
✓ Great appWorks very well the Dropbox sync allows our band to share songs even we aren't together great job.Version: 2.1
✓ FantasticI wanted an app that could store and organise lyrics along with guitar chords. Found this. It is perfect and really easy to use. Search for your songs on the web using the inbuilt web browser and then cut and paste into the app. Sometimes am lucky and find chord pro files with all the chords. Sweet. Transformed my song repertoir..Version: 2.1
✓ SomgBook is greatThis is an awesome app for guitarists / singers. Well worth the cost. Like having a big binder of music with you at all times. 2 friends have it and we can share songs and play together 1000 miles apart.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Fantastic AppDon’t know what I’d do without songbook it really is an amazing app..Version: 5.5
✓ We Love This App!!!!This is by far the easiest to use music app. My wife and share the music files via Dropbox which makes it very convenient. Editing is easy and finding songs with the search is simple. We use this with Riffstation to get the timing and chord placement right when learning a new song. A great App!.Version: 4.5
✓ Songbook chordproGreat app. It syncs with Dropbox so I can seamlessly use it across iPhone and iPad and can edit songs on it. It even turns tabs (chords above lyrics) into chordpro format which can be transposed. I recommend it..Version: 1.7
✓ Awesome app. Really love it!What an awesome improvement on the PC version. Could still use some browser functionality when importing songs. Example is when you import a song from chordie it makes you commence the process of searching for the site again then artist, song, etc. Not all of us around the globe enjoy fast Internet speed. The other thing is an NSErrorRule bla bla (999) keeps rearing it's ugly head. Anyway in terms of having all my songs in one location, transposable, linked to the track and columned on to one page.... Songbook ROCKS!!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Running app in the background?Brilliant app with lots of amazing features. It would be even better if the app could run in the background whilst using other apps! I want to be able to use the app and its metronome feature, minimise the app and still have the metronome playing whilst using another app. I want to be able to use this app along with XAIR edit in a live band situation..Version: 4.4.4
✓ Great for sync’ingHere’s what this app does better than your $30 music score app - it syncs flawlessly. If you’ve got a collaborating group sharing a Dropbox folder, it’s great. Deleted songs get deleted - imagine that! Here’s what it also does better than the $30 competitors - it re-scales and reformats text if you zoom real time. So your about to play a song and need it bigger, pinch and zoom and the lines re-wrap. It also keeps it simple with the ChordPro markups. The PDF handing is awful - the only reason why this app needs a companion app or PDF reader..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Fantastic for ukulele playersThis is a brilliant app, it has everything you need, how to play all the chords, a web search for chords for your favourite songs, automatic scrolling so you don't need to stop playing. Just brilliant. Worth every penny :).Version: 2.1
✓ Excellent - but please add import of zip files via browser!Much better than the current alternatives! The only quibbles I would have are: 1) Sharing songs and playlists with others via AirDrop seems to have stopped working. 2) No feature to import songs via zip file, so it is very time consuming to import a whole set of ukulele club songs. (I have sent a feature request today so maybe that will come in future. Zip file import is offered by some similar apps but they are in other ways not as good as Songbook Chordpro so I would prefer to stick with this app)..Version: 3.5.1
✓ BrilliantWhat an excellent tool for gigs and learning new songs. Very well thought out. Highly recommended..Version: 2.1
✓ Great app, just what I wantedI used to carry a large folder of song lyrics, scribbled over with guitar chords. Now all I need is my iPad. Quick to paste in new songs from the Internet & I can now add my own chords. Fantastic!.Version: 1.9
✓ ExcellentLove the quick access to chordie and quick save to my ipad. Great app..Version: 1.9
✓ Apple Watch SupportI love this app. Been using it since version 1. Please update the Apple Watch support. First line of chords of a song, no lyrics, just one playlist. Whole song with chords and auto scroll would be nice. Then I’ll up my rating to 5 stars. Thanks..Version: 4.5.2
✓ Best of breedFantastic app... Best of it’s sort I've found. I love the dropbox sync. I'm using it with a Bluetooth controller and have replaced a large binder and a music stand with my iPad mounted on my mic stand. I've been using SongBook for all my solo and band gigging for a couple years now. It is an indispensable app for me. I use it on my iPad and my Mac Desktop. Most fellow performers I have shown it to are also now using it. The Drop Box integration is great for collaboration with other musicians, as is the ability to control multiple devices with one Bluetooth foot pedal. Every version by this very active developer brings even further features and refinements. One of the best software investments I've made..Version: 2.7
✓ Excellent a+++Wonderful app. The programmers did a wonderful job implementing the functions in an extremely useful and intuitive manner. I love it and have been using it every day. On a side note, I also bought the pc version previously but lost the registration key for it, been trying to contact the company for a new key, so far unsuccessful.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Bonne applicationJ'aime bien. Très facile a utiliser. Mais peut-on changer la police dans une même chanson. Exemple {textfont: helvetica} {textfont: courrier}.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Great app, great featuresSuper service! Reported a problem on Friday with this not working on iOS 7 and it was fixed and on the App Store by Monday! Still love this app! This is a great app for anyone that plays an instrument and can work with "lead sheets" (chords and lyrics) or just Lyrics. They keep adding features and respond to user feedback quickly. Great value! I use it for gigs with their Playlist feature, and for working on songs. No more binders with pages falling out and it is all indexed! Syncs with Dropbox and there is a PC app if you like to use a mouse and full keyboard. It is easy to share songs with friends or print out Lyric sheets etc. Check the features.Version: 3.7.1
✓ WowReally very excellent tool. Great for teaching and gigging. No more useless paper clips trying to hold down fluttery bits of paper. That said ill never give up on hand written lyrics. A nice touch would be to be able to edit imported (photos maybe) hand written lyrics then add chord structure on top..Version: 2.7
✓ Highly recommendBeen using this app for about a year. Love love love the convenience, intuitive interface, and features. Quick chord reference bottom screen for each song. Transposing is a snap. Experimented with the song sharing feature - broadcast the lyrics from my iPad to another iPad, 2 touches and a 3 iPhones for a campfire singalong. Dropbox sync but stores locally for offline playing. As if that wasn't enough, you can see the music in the dark and the sheets don't blow away in the wind!.Version: 2.3
✓ Great App!Fantastic app, easy to use and edit. Would be great if you could highlight chords in different colours or draw/write notes on the page.Version: 5.9
✓ Songbook ChordproA great app. Very easy to use. I am using it to lead worship in church running it from my iPad2 into a data projector via a long HDMI cable..Version: 1.7
✓ Goodbye to paper booksAs a member of a Ukulele group I brought my iPad and used Songbook. Now there are 6 more iPad users which have added Songbook to their iPads and are using them. Songbook is very easy to use. 6 stars I am using this app for all my chords and lyrics. I access the same files on Dropbox using the iPhone , iPad and the pc version. Easy to input songs. And to update and or import songs..Version: 3.2
✓ Excellent product.Having purchased 2 'other' apps offering numerous promises which have let me down on performance ,reliability and many hours of wasted time!, I am delighted to say this 'LinkeSoft' app works brilliantly. The ChordPro format is very easy to download and write within the app. File back up and security is seemless with the added link to 'DropBox'. Great idea. It just works very well without having unnecessary complications. Well thought out and perfect for students and working musicians. Highly recommended..Version: 1.9
✓ Very useful toolReally impressed with how easy to use this is, dropbox integration. A few small tweaks to the autosizing and exporting of songs and this would be 5 stars all the way to the bank.Version: 2.1
✓ SongbookThis is the best app .....EVER , Any band, any song you can import it to your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch... The best app ever....Version: 2.1
✓ Really good user experience.... and easy to share files with entire family, so all are on the ‘same page’ :-).Version: 4.7.2
✓ Every Guitar player showed have this app.I have had this app for years, and its been great! Easy to use, Dose what its supposed to do and does it well! Recently I have had issues with it; missing playlists and songs- yet when I looked into it I discovered that it was not this app but the place I had been storing the files. When I contacted the songbook support people I received a prompt email back (on News Years Eve no less); the email confirmed what I thought was happening and I was able to correct all my issues. If I could give this app 6 stars I would. One note of caution: if you use Dropbox with it BACKUP you files and playlists… Dropbox has been doing odd things lately. Cheers DK.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Good but could be betterI use it all the time so can’t complain. I just wish the facility to switch the order of the set list was easier. Why can’t I just drag the songs into the order I want? Otherwise it’s a game changer. Music stand with dozens of lyric pages? No thanks. Use this. Fabulous! The developer update has answered my only niggle. Making that clearer in the instructions is all that is needed 😊. Great app. No flaws 👍🏻.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Song bookIF you are a guitar player you need this app very good.Version: 2.0
✓ BEST FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES.Over the years I have used a number of apps for my charts and backing tracks. For the past couple of years I’ve been using Songbook Chordpro. Without a doubt, for me it’s the best of the bunch. I use it on an iPad Mini or my iPhone, controlling the app with an AirTurn footswitch over Bluetooth. I highly recommend..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Best Song App Ever!I use this app almost every day, I have 506 songs on it and have it on various phones and iPads, I update and sync with Dropbox. It is amazingly easy to use and to maintain, I have Spanish songs, English songs, Jazz, compositions in progress, etc. I can get songs from the internet with chordpro format or can load them directly and configure to my taste and ability. I use guitar and ukelele chord banks. If you want to excel playing songs and have your library neatly organized, this is the app for you, I very highly recommend it, you’ll love it!.Version: 4.3.2
✓ The best app on the App StoreCongrats, This is a killer app for musicians. The updates just keep coming - Awesome.Version: 4.1.2
✓ My go to app for songs with lyrics and chords.I have had this app forever and I don’t know what I’d do without it! It’s easy to input a song from the internet and from scratch (although songs from ultimate guitar are more difficult to download now than it used to be, probably UG is making it that way so you subscribe to their app 😝). I have 600+ songs and it works just fine. I use it on an iPad and iPhone and it syncs with no problem through Dropbox, although I’d like to see iCloud support..Version: 5.9
✓ Best yetI have tried several other aps for this purpose all have been hopeless so I had low expectations. This is the first one that all our band members like and has finally made the iPad the weapon of choice for practice as well as gigs. Had a bit of trouble trying to import via dropbox but found the search function the best way to import directly from Chordie and other sites. Love the ability to change key and the ease of editing. A truly well thought out ap and much appreciated. Thanks guys..Version: 1.7
✓ CoolWorks well !.Version: 1.9
✓ Great appOur band has been using this for a while and are pleased with it. We have the iPads linked so when someone puts a song into it, we all receive it. We have used the app for several gigs now and it is great when you have a page turner pedal. It's easy to work and the iPads were great as night rolled in on an outdoor concert we did. The backlight made it easy to read. Worth the money!.Version: 3.6
✓ UkuelectiveThis is really a very useful and well thought out app. I was going to give it 4 stars as there is a minor bug however the brilliance of the dropbox sync (that our uke band use anyway) and the ease of use with existing chord pro formats as well as txt files make it a work of genius! Top stuff chaps - now, that bug... When you tap one of the overlay components and then tap it again (to put it away may be or by accident) it doesn't go away rather another instance of the overlay pops out - this then doesn't go away as there are multiple instances of the pop out and the app finally crashes... A simple fix me thinks Thanks for the great app. Just what I was after :).Version: 1.7
✓ QuestionCan somebody explain the reason why from time to time happen the music unlink from the song? Even so five stars.Version: 4.6.1
✓ You'll appreciate this program more after you tried some of the others.This program has evolved very well since the first iteration. I have sent in several feature requests to the developer that were implemented into SongBook. The developer is very responsive and is constantly improving SongBook. The Dropbox syncing works great. I am having problems thinking of new features I would like added to SongBook. It really works well for our jam group—a great way to share and update our song list. Songbook is well worth the price. I've also used a very similarly named "free" app. The price may seem right, but trust me, you'll be better off with this app. One word of warning though: if you're counting on downloading ChordPro files from the web, good luck. I've authored nearly all of my own files (over 400 so far), as the files found on the web are pretty unreliable as far as accuracy goes, and not as easily found as you might hope. Like everything else the more effort you put in, the better the results you'll get. Songbook Chordpro is a great app!.Version: 2.1
✓ Great stuffI use it on a daily basis for my training routine and then for rehearsals. Does what it says on the tin and then some..Version: 2.1
✓ SongbookWhat a great program. Easy to use, add and edit songs. All of the members in my local ukulele group uses it..Version: 5.5
✓ Simple yet powerfulI’ve been using this for years in my coverband and it’s never let me down. Editing and uploading songs is easy and intuitive. I’ve recently integrated midi controls to automatically change guitar and vocal processing patches as well as page turning with Line6 and Boss products with no issues. AND it’s a one time payment no sub. I’ve looked at others to up my game but this does exactly what I want and need..Version: 5.8
✓ Great !I have been using this app for around 5 years now and will continue to use it . Easy to use and the convert to chord pro means you can import from anywhere and it sorts all the chords etc out for you !.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Song bookOne word "Awesome".Version: 2.1
✓ Excellent AppThis app is really useful for storing all the songs and chords I use for church. I love that you can change the key and Capo position so easily. I also love how easy it is to use the chord pro formatting - so much better than typing the chords in manually like I was doing before. Finally, I emailed the developer with a suggestion a couple of months ago and the suggestion has now been implemented! So great support and developer feedback as well. Well worth the money..Version: 5.0
✓ Good!Great app for keeping charts and playing live sets. The PC supportive software is overpriced, and should come as a package deal..Version: 2.1
✓ Top classGreat program. It has some irritations though. After editing and resaving a text file, I cannot work out how to force an immediate update via Dropbox. Replacing the file via iTunes does the trick but you must have your iPad connected to do that. Nevertheless, the instant transposition of chords makes this a must have for young guitarists. I have found that setting up a template with the maximum number of lines down and characters across in both wide and narrow orientation make setting new songs up a lot easier. Monospace font of course..Version: 1.7
✓ Thank You for this amazing AppI have come to rely on this Application to provide me with many aspects of my performance. Access to my song lyrics which are linked to my backing tracks is only the tip of the ice burg. The ability to create “play lists” for each venue, make performance notes in my song files and change the key to any song to match my vocal range translates into value for my money. Thank you to the developer for an application that is spot on..Version: 4.7.3
✓ Great app - suggestions for improvementI have been using this app for years. I’m a professional musician, and use this to organize gigs. I especially love how playlists can be shared between devices. Suggestions: - I would like to have more control over formatting the way songs are printed. On some songs, the words are cut off, or the chord symbols are way too small to see. - I wish there was a way to print the list of songs in a playlist..Version: 5.5.1
✓ Well Supported App!I have been using this app for over five years now. The developer is constantly updating and supporting users. He is great to work with! This app sure beats my old three ring binder! Best thing about this app is you can do lyrics and chords for a given song and when needed, use the Tab Generator for solos as well. The Tab Generator is a bit buggy, but it is workable. Wish it would link to Apple’s Files app. In the final analysis, you won’t be disappointed..Version: 5.1.3
✓ A must for all musicians, a beginners dream.I have had this app and others like it for a long time. The updates for this one though have set it apart by miles. It is to the point where I can't make any suggestions to make it better. It is great for showing how to play chords, so even a novice can play their favorite song. For the more advanced pro gigger. It is a great reference and a on the fly uploader to find those songs randomly requested. Editing is made easy so you can modify or just write your own song and chords. Top marks for this tool..Version: 1.7
✓ A Good Choice, ButThis App does what you need it to do: display lyrics while you perform, and enable multiple users to add or edit lyrics for everyone in the group. Having now spent many, many hours putting our band's lyrics into this App, and having used it in a gig, you will find that this is a very powerful and enabling App. Definitely buy it. But let's remember, as a user group, that we can help to make it even better. Any software drives culture - the way we approach life and challenges; I have found that the lyrics from Chordie and other sites often differ from each other, or the way you've always sung it, and the guy who has the iPad now might think he controls the lyrics, and others may not be comfortable with that. So, my advice is to make this a collaborative venture, for sure, not just within your band, but together as a Songbook group. Does the Songbook site have a users forum? That would be helpful. Be careful with Dropbox, you can lose everything if you synch when the file has been emptied. The are no warning windows in the Songbook App, and one would be helpful to prevent disabling disasters, for example "synching now will cause the loss of material - go ahead?" Overall, a great App, one I'll be using for years to come..Version: 2.1
✓ Great for ukulele song sheetsI am just learning the ukulele and I wanted something that I could transfer all my printed song sheets to, so that I had them all in one convenient place. This app was so easy to use and was a breeze to enter a song in from scratch. I can see the chords as I play and see the whole song on one screen if I want. Great app guys - full marks for quality..Version: 2.1
✓ Excellent appVery good, just what I needed. Search results are ok, but the files are very easy to edit, I like that you can define your own chords a save them or search for similar chords. I would like to see an 'undo' button and arrow buttons to move the cursor forward and backward whilst editing..Version: 2.0
✓ Very ComprehensiveAbsolutely stunning execution, stable and feature-rich! I've been looking for something like this for ages!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Great to have access to my songs on all my platformsI have used most of the chord chart apps available in the App Store. I have been using Songbook Chordpro for several years and I always seem to gravitate back to it as my first choice. Because it uses the Songbook folder in Dropbox and is set to automatically update when I write something new or add a piece, my songs are the same whether I use it on iPhone, iPad, or my MacBook Pro. What other program can do that and do it so well. I’ll eventually get an Apple Watch and my songs will be available there. I appreciate a developer who takes the time and effort to make their app available everywhere. I no longer use Windows, but I could, and my songs would be available there. I got used to using the simple syntax of Chordpro to write out my songs and I don’t have to worry about my chords showing up over the wrong words like if I wrote them in Word. Those who whine and complain about this being too hard are not really thinking about how Chordpro creates more accurate leadsheets to share with others. And Songbook Chordpro creates great printed leadsheets for those needing a paper copy of my song. All in all, great job guys. I’m very happy to be a customer and look forward to continuing to use the software for my music for years to come..Version: 4.7.3
✓ Not badSlow to load songs into the system, but once set up, great! Perfect for playing live in dark venues.Version: 2.2
✓ Just what I've been looking forI've been looking for something like this to ditch my binders full of songs (sorry Mitt, just songs) in this format for a while. Didn't need endless clever features, sure as hell wasn't about to pay a subscription to store my songs, just format, store and organise. This does that really well. Little but exe compared to some, but I'll sometimes pay more for less features, just do the simple job well. The editing can be a little cumbersome on the iPad but that's something I'll get used to. If you just want your songs nicely organised, I recommend it..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Best Song Book I've FoundI'm a working musician and I've tried a couple of different apps for sheet music before; This one blows them all away. It completely eliminates the need for clunks binders and the scroll and transpose features are perfect! Gigging made simple!.Version: 2.1
✓ Great appThis is a great app, easy to use and has lots of great features , I am a gigging musician and this app is perfect for keeping all my songs in. Saves having to carry around folders of paper :).Version: 3.0
✓ Song writing and documenting with easeI love the ability to look up and define chords and the flexibility of being able to add new chords. Changing key is a breeze allowing for more experimentation simply because it doesn't take a lot of work to transpose song sheets for my group. I would like the ability to categorize songs into more than one category and to email PDF song sheets that spread to more than one page. Currently they are squished onto one page which makes them difficult to use by the receiver!.Version: 2.1
✓ BazMThis is an excellent app and a great resource for musicians, both new and experienced. A print preview/print format would make it 100% perfect..Version: 2.1
✓ SongbookGreat app with very good proactive support. Over the years it just keeps getting better. New features, improvements etc. I happily recommend this responsive, useful software to my muso friends as it comes with helpful knowledgable support should you need it . Thanks ...Version: 3.8.1
✓ Useful app for musiciansThis app is user friendly and a very good tool for any musician. There’s just one thing that I wish I could do with it, it’s to be able to annotate the songs. Sy Lem.Version: 5.3.1
✓ SongBookProWhat a great App. Just what I need, still learning..Version: 2.1
✓ SongbookBest out of all the lyrics and chord software apps, better than mysongbook and ultimate guitar..Version: 1.7
✓ Great app for Ukulele tooI use this app regularly when out and about with my Uke. It's great that you can switch the chord charts to a Ukulele setting..Version: 2.1
✓ 10 years and still my favourite appBeen using this for 10 years now and I love it. I also use the desktop version for editing. The syncing between songbook and Dropbox is seamless and super easy. Sharing Dropbox and songbook tunes with bandmates is also very easy. I have a few other tablet song programs because different bands have different ways of working. This one is the easiest to use maintain and share. I keep coming back..Version: 5.0
✓ Loving It....!!Excellent app....I am now doing Open Mics competently with this app....scrolling is great and text is easily read.....wish all apps where as good as this....!!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Great!Great for organizing playlists and like the way you can search and download chordie songs straight into the iPad.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Sharing files in iOS messengerUnable to open shared files on certain devices. My iPhone opens files with the songbook app, iPad does not. Our singer could open shared files last week, this week nothing. All devices on the same iOS update, and latest songbook update. Update. Support knows less about the app than I do, as such, no help whatsoever..Version: 4.9.3
✓ Very good. A breath of fresh air!I looked at several similar programs before buying Songbook ChordPro and I’m glad I did. No advertising, no badgering for credit cards, no subscription, just a solid useful app. It’s not 100% perfect but better than the rest. Being able to show both guitar and piano chord diagrams was a big attraction. It takes a short while to realise that you have to add your own songs via text or ChordPro formatted files but that turns out to be a plus. A very large number of chord sites have files that are just wrong. You can find a reasonable version somewhere, copy and paste into Songbook and then edit the errors in the app..Version: 5.6
✓ Great appI am delighted with this app. It is just what I wanted when I decided to buy an iPad. Easy to create songs, incorporate the chords and then let it scroll through while you play..Version: 2.2.1
✓ What a great appThis is a great app. Sync with dropbox, simple to use. I can now leave the heavy, bulky folders at home and just carry my iPad..Version: 1.7
✓ Very Cool!Great app, makes loading lyrics on the go so easy. Love it!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Swing and a missThe latest update says it has "improved synchronization". All synchronization on all four of my devices has ceased completely and I have no recourse to fix it. It's not a Dropbox issue, the little rotating ball on the top left of the "Categories" page is gone on all devices. The Help" shows a manual synchronization button but that's gone too. Please help. I loved this app up until this problem erupted..Version: 4.1
✓ Great AppThis is an update to my Dec 10 review. Contacted the developer through the help, not so easy to find. Got a response the next day. Turned off PDF search and everything worked fine. Also got a response from Apple about a month later. Used to carry around several thick binders of music, now only carry an iPad. I’m also leading a zoom Ukulele group and encourage everyone to switch to Songbook Chordpro instead of printing out PDFs. So many neat features in this app. Can’t praise it enough..Version: 5.1.3
✓ SongBookEfficace et très utile pour regrouper notre musique! On peut lire notre musique sur notre tablette et en même temps écouter l’enregistrement musical dans un autre fichier. J’aime bien..Version: 5.1.3
✓ Song BookI have Ben using Song Book for year to play by myself and also in jams. Love it. Not certain I have the latest version. But still works for me.Version: 5.8
✓ Excellent AppWe currently have 12 of 18 musicians in our jamming group using Songbook on iPads. It is so useful and the updates are always more useful ways for this APP. I have 2981 songs set up from fiddle tune chord charts to lyrics with chords. In a group setting we can quickly change keys as well as airdrop tunes to fellow musicians so they can play along within in seconds. Highly recommended to many friends..Version: 4.7.3
✓ Best appAbsolutely best app I have downloaded It makes playing live a little more professional no more music book and ability to change the key to suit is brilliant a well thought out app.. Thanks.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Many advantages over OnSong!I have bought this for virtually every platform that it is available and my song stuff seamlessly integrates across devices with Dropbox. So cool! Has 2 column support in landscape for less or in some cases no scrolling (OnSong still doesn’t despite 2+ years of promising it is coming soon). Price / features way cheaper than OnSong. Buy the PC version too if you use Songbook much because they compliment each other so well it is very worth it!.Version: 4.4.2
✓ What a brilliant appWhat a brilliant app. No hidden subscription charges or paying to copy songs into it. Cut and paste from your clipboard e.g from ultimate guitar etc. edit in the chords where you want them. Transpose to other chords easily Autoscroll your songs when your playing them with adjustable timing I've been using it for a few months now and have all of my Songs on this Features i'd like to see added... automatically pickup chord text from pasted songs.Version: 2.1
✓ I use this app almost every day!I use ChordPro for overhauling my existing song library and for adding new stuff really quickly. The phone app is actually better than the Windows desktop version. I use a bluetooth keyboard with the phone for editing the songs. One problem I have is that the display will not expand over the screen space where the regular keyboard was. The result is that I am working with only half of the available screen space when I use the external keyboard. Overall I enjoy using this app..Version: 2.1
✓ NiceThis app is the only app I use for writing editing and playing music, it has everything you need for the most part and functionality between devices is very good and I’m sure it will get better with ongoing updates very happy with this app.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Great tool for Organizing SongsSimple, well laid out interface. Recommended..Version: 2.1
✓ Pretty good app for managing songsI've found this app is really useful for managing songs for a ukulele group. The current version does seem to crash occasionally and the size of the text seems to change randomly. Some key features that I would like would be the ability to print song sheets including the chord patterns and also the ability to add annotations to the chords such as strum twice etc. The {soh}{eoh} section is great for adding comments in the lyric line but it would be useful to be able to add these comments on the chords when they are displayed above the lyrics..Version: 3.8.1
✓ DRCAnyone having a problem with keyboard disappearing when trying to edit a song. I have to reboot ipad to get keyboard to come back on. I can edit some and it will do it again..Version: 4.8.1
✓ SongBook ChordProWonderful app... Would recommend without hesitation, and I rarely comment on apps... Easy to use, well set up and highly functional..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Song book appWicked app. The only way I could see an improvement is if I could sync the scrolling function with lyrics section of the mp3 backing tracks I use for gigs. Lol. The Tap, zoom and auto fit the screen to see lyrics and chords better on the screen is really helpful. Something else I think is helpful is helpful is clicking on the chord mid song and various chord versions are available. There is only one song on there when you download it but I used the google search on the app and the song lyrics and chords downloaded in seconds. All in all great app. Just wish i could sync it with my mp3 backing tracks..Version: 1.6
✓ Apple PencilOnly thing missing now is to let me use Apple Pencil to make notes for later edits while playing..Version: 5.8
✓ Best live music app fantastic!I have used it for the past 5years for live music & recording,This App is my best friend I use on my iPad & phone Thanks a lot Kind regards Brett.Version: 4.8.1
✓ I think this is great.We use it on stage at conferences and weddings and it's so easy to follow..Version: 1.9
✓ Great except?It is a great app except that would it be possible to print out the song with the chord boxes showing as they do on the screen. I have tried a screen shot but it just prints on photo paper because it saves as a jpg. Exporting to pdf still doesn’t show the chord boxes on the right. Unless I am missing something..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Really Great AppHad a problem recently where it was quitting soon after start up because I had some multi-page PDFs in the library that were causing a memory crash... but since I removed those files from my Dropbox everything seems to work fine again. This is a really great app, has terrific functionality. Love the easy editing, transposing, organising playlists, and live scrolling. I have over 700 songs and use this app all the time. It’d be good if the trashcan delete symbol wasn’t so close to the symbol for editing song order, I’ve accidentally hit that a few times when reordering playlists. There’s also sometimes a glitch when inputting chord symbols sometimes it forgets to close the square bracket and I have to do it manually... but generally the interface is really easy and great for fast edits. Really useful tab creating feature as well. Well recommended..Version: 4.9.1
✓ Great music toolAfter fooling around with a frustrating paper based sheet music system I am so delighted to have found this wonderful tool. It is truly a time saver and a delight to use. I find that my guitar practice time is put to much better use. Features like the transposition tool is awesome and let's me change a song's key instantly, WOW! Love it. I have also integrated a bluetooth page turn pedal system to take advantage of another great feature in this app. Makes following long scores much simpler than before. The massive and easy to use chord chart is also really useful and quickly let's me integrate new voicing to my music. The integrated sheet editor works great when I need to make changes or even write my own songs. There are many other great features to this app, which simply make guitar practice and live playing so much more pleasant. Great job and I look forward to future enhancements. I use a first generation IPad and everything works great. Please do not change the software in a way that would force me to upgrade to a new IPad. This happens too often with many software developers and ruin cost effective solutions. A real fan, John H. Kennedy.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Best app for worship teamsWe’ve been using this app for several years. It’s by far the easiest to use for teams who need to sync files over Dropbox. It’s much better than OnSong or SongSheet pro..Version: 4.6.1
✓ The must have app for musiciansI’ve used both the iOS app and Mac version for years. I now have a huge back catalogue of hundreds of songs I play on the guitar and piano. Support for the apps is also fantastic. I’ve asked quite a few questions and have always received a highly informative responses..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Brilliant AppHave been using the app for some years and just can’t find anything better. It has all the features you need for solo artists with backing tracks. If the app could import Word files rather than text and link to other types of audio file (wave, etc) then it would be approaching perfection. Well done to the developers and thanks..Version: 5.8
✓ Great tool for musicians!I live this app for storing and accessing song charts. I had an issue where I would change fonts and the change would not be applied. I finally noticed the option of “Fixed Font…” It would be great to get a prompt indicating that setting would prevent font changes. Other than that this app has been great! Thanks!.Version: 5.2
✓ What I dreamed of and moreI play guitar for our church worship band, and I was looking for an app to replace my hundreds of song sheets. I figured there was something out there like a simple database that I could copy my Word and PDF files into and that would display my songs for me. This does that and much, much more. I love the auto scrolling feature, which scrolls the song if your song sheets run longer than a screen length. This is great because I can put all my band notes in my music and not have to try an read 5 point type on my iPad. It will scroll automatically at a set pace, and I can have all my notes. I also like the playlists, which makes it easy to pick the songs we are going to play for a given Sunday morning. This makes it very easy to play the song and swipe to see the next page. The only improvement I would make now is to make the scrolling and metronome active at the same time with one touch. The only way I can seem to get both of them to work by choosing metronome first and then scroll. It would be useful to have a single button. There is so much more to this app. I highly recommend it!.Version: 2.1
✓ My Favorite Chordpro Compatible AppI bought and tried several ChordPro-compatible apps for managing my lead sheets and I like SongBook the best by quite a wide margin. You can figure out how to use it in about 10 minutes without reading the manual. Syncing with Dropbox works perfectly (syncing is a really challenging thing to get right). It also has the three features I need most: the ability to transpose, the ability to indicate if you are using a capo, and compatibility with a foot pedal for scrolling (it works with AirTurn and PageFlip pedals with zero setup). OnSong is probably the leader in this category but I found it to be too difficult to use. It has a lot of features but if you need 36 videos to explain how to use your app (which OnSong has) that's just too much work for me. I also had problems with OnSong's basic functionality being buggy in places. The user manual disappeared on me, and I found out on their website this is a known issue. And songs often mysteriously had one key written in the metadata but displayed another even though transposing and capo were turned off. So in conclusion, I like SongBook's ease of use and lack of bugginess. And it does just about everything I need it to do. My one request would be that it store and display PDF sheet music...for now I just use another app for that..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Love it!I'm having so much fun with this app, it feels like it should be illegal! Also bought the desktop version to make editing easier (difficult on my iPad). Sync them up and I'm good to go! I highly recommend this!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ SOG directivesI think I like the automatic set up 4.9.1 provides for the SOG tag, but I would like it even more if the various component bits would appear in the little selection bar above the keyboard much like the chords appear. Example: |: <space> Would also like to see end bar |. correctly implemented..Version: 4.9.1
✓ Top Notch SoftwareI moved from a competitor Song management system to this one because this runs on all platforms that I use and has the features I need. Works great. I especially love the “Play Together” function. And the option to send MIDI comments when songs are selected is fabulous. Keeps my pedal patches, looper, and drummer in sync with my songs. One irritating thing however is MIDI commands are sent to ALL devices on all ports with no option to turn a particular port off. Most of the time this is not an issue but it affects me because changing songs freezes my AKAI APC40 MK II. It sure would be nice to be able to turn off sending MIDI commands to some ports while keeping others engaged..Version: 5.6.1
✓ God Bless the developer of this app!Finally found the ultimate Songbook that works for me. It’s just technical enough to do the important useful functions, but not complicated and buggie to confuse us old school guys - I use this a lot! Really like it Thanks.Version: 4.4.1
✓ MrIt is awesome. Just what I wanted. And very easy to use..Version: 2.1
✓ SongbookAn excellent application if you play the guitar. The additional feature for changing the chords is great. This application is a must for music lovers. Take it anywhere, and you'll have all your songs ready to be played anytime, and in the night without any light the backlight screen is great. I only wish if the guitar chords could have been changed to play the piano. Great edit function, and so easy to add songs......excellent anyway you look at it..Version: 2.1
✓ So Good!Thank you for this amazing app! I finally got rid of my giant binder full of worship songs! Everything works perfectly with this app. Easy to import files from dropbox and back up all my songs there as well. I have it synced to ipad and iphone and everything works as needed. Once again, so good!.Version: 4.5
✓ My Go-To Songbook app!I’ve been using SongBook ChordPro for a few years now. I love how easy it is to use on any of the versions. I have the MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Windows versions and am using a Dropbox folder to share all my chord sheets between devices. The only thing I might ask for to improve working with the app might be an expanded ChordPro insert menu, or at least a reference sheet of all the ChordPro tags that are supported. I started using the app for my guitar sheets for jam sessions. It really helps to have all my chord sheets on my iPad rather than a binder full of loose sheets that I have to shuffle through and re-organize all the time! I’ve now started using it for my newly-acquired mandolin, and I love that I can set the instrument using ChordPro notation and the app gives me the correct chords! I’ve also played around with the group sharing function, and that really works nicely! Unfortunately most of the groups I jam with aren’t quite the tech-enthusiasts that I am, so I don’t usually get to take advantage of that set of features...but it’s nice to have the option! In short, keep up the good work! I love this app!.Version: 5.2
✓ Songbook ProExcellent App, exactly what I was looking for, highly recommended and ideal for the iPad.Version: 2.1
