    Simply fabulous!
    Long time OnSong user here... Once they went to subscription and forced us long time users to give up their legacy app, I dumped them like a hot potato. Searched for a few days to find something that had all the features I used in OnSong in another program.... lots of other lyrics programs out there for sure. But SongBook has EVERYTHING I need. Now I'm GLAD OnSong did what they did because I never would have found SongBook had they not. SongBook is FABULOUS! Features I love: Simple text based folder archetecture, Remote Control of IOS and Mac Apps from a different IOS device. Choice of Fonts. FAST! Does NOT crash! Dark Theme. MIDI Program Changes when songs are chosen. (send and receive). Can't say enough positives about this app. Thank you developers! Top notch, first rate job. Show more

    Simply the Best!
    I've been using this app since October 2012, and it is hands down my favorite songbook app for a couple of reasons. 1 - Reliable (few if any crashes in 10years - no issues with ios updates) 2 - Midi (selects pattern/tempo for my drum machine as soon as I turn to the next song) 3 - Simple & Intuitive (I've tried many other apps because of playing out with other musicians and many of them have too many features that make them less intuitive & run slow/buggy).

    Indispensible
    Flexible, fun and easy to use, and stable across years of OSX upgrades. An essential tool for any performing picker, strummer, or singer-songwriter with a repertoire to craft.

    Really good implementation of ChordPro
    Overall, Songbook is a really good implementation of Chord Pro and allows the writer or transcriber to quickly create or modify chord charts. I am giving 4 instead of 5 because SongBook is weird and at times confusing about the way it saves files. My wish list is: * Cusomizable fonts per song, instead of global. * Ability to size images * Ability to add headers or footers for page numbers. * and (this is kind of cryptic), better implementation of special characters for music symbols. Overall, I am very happy with this program. Show more

    Does What I need it to do.
    Helps keep my songs organized and formatted well with chords so I don't forget them anymore.

    Excellent app :)
    This app is perfect for wanting to write songs and being able to add both the chords overhead and other additional details. I really like how it even will include the chords used at the bottom of the music. Show more

    Scroll Speed Is Inconsistent
    This is a good app, however, the scroll speed is inconsistent. A lot of time gets wasted having to re-time the scrolling speed only to occassionally have it scroll faster or super slower the next time you play a song. Show more

    Sync my songs everywhere
    I've gotten rid of the reams of paper I had with chords and lyrics and replaced everything with SongBook. This allows me to sync my song library with my Mac, iPad and phone so I can access it anywhere, anytime - particularly helpful when I need reminder on some lyrics. One change that would be helpful to the way I use SongBook would be to allow a song to be in more than one category. Show more

    Glitchy, takes time at gig
    A song is in G. I realize all the chords have changed to another key. The key choices I have are all minor. What should I choose? Em? That's reasonable since it is the relative minor to G. Nope. Wrong answer. The answer is Gm or F. Huh? Eventually you just have to go down all the key choices until it shows the chords you know are right. Edit offers {key:}. Nope, wrong answer. You must manually put in [key:]. Sometimes it will work, other times not, so I often give up and use <> just so the information will be on the page. I'm going to try Support. If they explain it all well AND it works, I will raise my rating. I had such hope and enthusiasm for this app. Maybe that other company is better but I think they do subscription. Show more
