I had used this app since it’s inception and hate to leave a bad review but it does not work on my new iPad. I am assuming since it hasn’t been updated in years that the company, no longer exists. I am switching to forscore unfortunately Show more

Like many of you, I’ve become reliant on some apps for my day to day work. Gigbook is one. It was a four star app. This app has always been how I access my sheet music and connect to corresponding audio. As of the last Couple of iOS updates, the app has a few big problems. The biggest, for me, is that it crashes if I try to connect an audio track to a sheet. The other problem is the worst: no support. No replies. No updates. Which is awful. This was the case for a while. The app was abandoned and then, thankfully, picked back up and cared for. This no longer seems to be the case. DeepDish: if you still exist and are reading this; please do not abandon this app and please fix the big bugs. Show more

I spent hundreds of hours on this app. And when I had to update my iPad, I lost most my files. There is NO support for this app. I really don’t know why Apple still has this on there site. Show more

I have loaded this app years ago and now this app required an update? I tried to update but it mentioned I needed to agree on terms and conditions. It wouldn’t bring up the terms and conditions to agree on. So I couldn’t update. so I had to delete old app icon and reload. Well, it required me to pay 9.99 to upload. So I guess this app you have to pay for now? I believe it was free back when I got it. What happened to grandfather us old timers? There are better apps out there. Show more

If GigBook hasn’t updated for 3 years, is that going to cause my AirTurn pedal not to flip pages , if the pedal & iPad updates but GigBook doesn’t ? Does anyone else have a problem with their pedal not flipping pages anymore? Will GigBook become obsolete if their is no support, no up-dates? What pedal will work with GigBook if ones that did will not now? Show more

When I add chords using the pen in the app, the music doesn’t share well. The marks are smeared and in the wrong place. I have a huge amount of music on the app, more than Dropbox will hold (I’m not willing to pay for extra storage) other than that great program. Lately the app has added a gray bar across the bottom hiding the notes on the bottom. I can’t get rid of it. Show more

I’m embarrassed that I have recommended DD GigBook to many musician friends. I loved it for years but now it crashes unexpectedly, which has happened several times in rehearsals and shows. Totally unacceptable. The app appears to have been abandoned by its developers. But they still make money off of the app. Switching to another app will cost me years of building out over 400 tunes in DD Gigbook. Newcomers, steer clear! Show more

App crashes when linking audio on my new iPad. It works on my old iPad. App hasn’t been updated in 2 years! Was a great app.

Will not link songs to lyrics since iOS update. Do not buy, no support

Great app! However, a year ago when I transferred the app to my new iPad a couple hundred of my scores/lead sheets which had songs from my iTunes attached to not transfer with the attached song. At first the score when opened would throw me out of the app. I could open the score to “details” and simply reconnect the song. I could then open the score. Lately, maybe since I upgraded to iOS 13.1.3, when I try to re-link the song, I get thrown out of the app. I can now only view scores that have the songs linked, or one which have never had a song linked. I hope DD GigBook will correct this issue. I have over 800 scores in the app and so many of them I am unable to view. When it’s working properly, then app is wonderful. I’ve been using it for at least 5 years, mostly for practice. I use the set list function during gigs. I highly recommend the app when it functions properly. Show more

After the iOS update to version 13+, I can no longer attach a music file to a pdf file. Hopefully they will update this app to fix this issue because this is a very good and useful app. Until then, one star. Show more

I’m done.... I’ve been using this for a year and it keeps crashing. Tonight I restarted my iPad 5 times IN A SHOW! And still I could not get it to to stay alive. Talk a out winging it. This is not the first time, but it will be the last. I’m done. Show more

I have tried most of the music reading apps and this one used to comes out on top by far but they have failed to keep up with competition. It is now pretty much the worst. The cataloging system on this app is still the best but the one big, big problem is that the page turns are so slow it renders it pretty useless. If they could fix that problem I would continue using it but, until then, I can’t. Show more

Lately, with the latest iOS update, the app crashes after choosing certain files. Once it crashes, trying to open the same file has the same effect-another crash. I haven’t been able to play some of my favorites songs for a while. Deep Dish needs to keep up with the updates. Show more

I have been emailing them for months with only one reply in the very beginning. I have 3 iPads and it only works one my oldest iPad 1. On the other two they continually crash as soon as opened. I have used this app for along time and all my songs are on it. I'm really at a loss. I hope they read the reviews Show more

I’ve used this app for the past several years. I used to lug a ginormous binder to gigs. It’s so nice to just be able to bring my iPad and a Bluetooth page turner so I can change pages with a foot switch. It’s super easy to organize and navigate, and I like being able to download PDFs from Dropbox. This app is one of the best things I’ve ever purchased for gigging and practicing. Show more

The only problem I am having is when I have some songs in a set list and I set the metronome for one song it copies to all other songs in that set list. So all songs are at 98bpm or whatever. Everything else is amazing. Still love this app. Show more

Very happy with this app. I’ve used it for several years and it’s been stable and reliable. Just upgraded to the gen 6 iPad and am now able to make annotations with the Apple Pencil. I’ve tried a few other gig organizers but keep coming back to this one. I now have a library of over 200 PDFs of lyrics and chords, and like the way the set lists work in a performance situation. I recommend this app. Show more

Any plans to offer open from google drive?

Sorry to report I have been having issues with the app crashing when selecting a song. I have written 2 emails to the deep dish gig book web site and zero response. I see other reviewers have posted the same issue. Disappointed because I have my whole music library loaded and have been using this app for years. I’m dreading deleting it and starting over. C’mon step up developer, please fix it and allow me to upgrade my 1 star rating. Show more
