    Full version won’t open
    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. Show more

    Dropbox doesn't work but Google Drive does
    Started working properly after closing it out a few times. Importing directly from Dropbox still hangs the app after two songs, but I switched over to Google Drive instead and now it works flawlessly. Show more

    Stopped working after 2 songs uploaded
    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. Show more

    Not so great..
    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. Show more

    Robust and stable app for on-stage
    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. Show more

    Snakes!
    Bought the full version a few years ago! Now they want me to pay again because of an update! Try blocking an update on iPad!

    Horrible UI
    I don’t even know how to navigate this app.

    Not free
    When you first open the app you see amazing grace. If you try to add a new book or song it says to get premium. So then I try to edit amazing grace and it says I need premium to do that. You have to get premium to do anything! What’s the point in saying the app is free if you can’t do anything until you get premium? Honestly don’t buy this app unless you want to spend a but load of money. It’s not worth it! Just use notes instead, it comes with your phone and it’s free. Trust me! Show more
