Appmuse

Had some issue at first with swiping pages. After extension searching found that it's not swipe to turn pages, it's touch right side or left side of screen for page turns. Now that I got that figured out the app is perfect! Show more

The current version or two dies every so often, typically when I'm clicking on another song. It hasn't happened during a song, but it's still annoying. Fix that please. There is no easy way to share directly to another gigbook user, unless you want to send an email or Dropbox. Not handy if there is no wifi. Also there is no ability to sync between GigBook on my other iPads. devices. I've a small one, too. I tried some other apps, and settled on another app. I love the menu on DDGB, easy to navigate, where The other app is a train wreck of a menu, it has the ability to crop and remember, sync page turns and selections between two ipads, and more. With crop/remember and device sync, I might run DDGB again. Show more

I have used this app for years. I can't imagine what I would do without it. I use it for both my church piano work and a rock and roll band. I put all my lead sheets into PDF format and have them wherever I go. They are easily sorted into cole coded binders and set lists. I have well over a thousand songs in it. After last update Dropbox was messing up the names. I told Tony and now a few days later it was fixed. Seriously - there really are no other apps like this out there. If you use ipad for gigs - or if you just want an easy way to organize your stuff - this app is a must. Show more

My DDGB stopped connecting to my Dropbox. I contacted their customer service and received one-on-one help right away. We troubleshooted and figured out it came down to an iOS upgrade (if you’re having this problem, upgrade to iOS 11). Thanks, DDGB for the great customer service! I use this app every week as a working musician. Show more

This app seemed very good UNTIL the bugs started showing up. They advertise that you can email set lists and scores to other players ?... Not so. Then the connection to Drop Box goes down and no other tunes can be added to the catalog. SHOW STOPPER. There's potential in this app, but I don't have time to wait. Don't waste your valuable time trying to unpack this buggy app. Go buy ForScore. Same price and many more features useful for the working musician or even just the weekend warrior. 24 hours into switching and I'm loving it. Show more

A great app for compiling and sorting my music books and single sheet music. The benefit of using this app (instead of iBooks or Adobe) is that I can integrate iTunes tracks right on the page to help me remember how a song sounds. I can also makes performance notes to change a chord quickly and easily. The app did freeze once while I was loading music. It also crashed quite a bit. However, the last few updates have helped tremendously. Show more

I've been using Gigbook for quite a while and am very pleased with it. I use the super bookmarking feature a lot to pull from songs in the Realbook PDFs I also store in it. The keyboard player in the band also uses it and is pleased with it. I've never had any hangs or crashes or anything like that. It's stable and dependable. Maybe the person who said that was maxed out on memory so it was more of a hardware issue. Show more

The problem when it freezes is that one must turn the iPad OFF for it to return to normal. Fix the bugs.

Very nice app, but crashes too much to trust it on a gig.

I'll been using GigBook for almost two years. There were a few bugs with the new OS on my iPad, but DeepDish has addressed them with this new update. (The only frustration I had was that the wrong song would open in a playlist, but that's fixed now since I installed the new update yesterday. Thanks DeepDish!) Now I'm using GigBook on my new iPad Pro. I have an entire hymnal of over 600 hymns installed and several songbooks adding an additional 250 songs. I get a lot of my PDF music via a subscription to CCLI's SongSelect. It's easy to import the pdfs into GigBook. I create a playlist for congregational singing each week. And I can find songs so much faster than paging through a hymnal and songbooks. I just added the AirTurn DUO Bluetooth pedals for turning pages in GigBook, it's so much easier than reaching up from my keyboard and tapping the screen. I love this setup, it takes my mind off the sheets music and just lets me play! I highly recommend GigBook, it's by far the most useful music application I've ever purchased. Show more

No longer can import a PDF from email. DDGB crashes every time. Please fix ASAP!

All the problems that came with OS 10 upgrades have been fixed and DD GigBook is back to its former great form. In addition to creating set lists, you can organize your scores by ensemble, turn pages with a foot pedal, practice with a metronome, and make hand notes on your scores which stay with the chart and can be emailed or uploaded to others. It's now (again) one of the best score managers you can find. Show more

Here is what I wrote many months ago: This app is simply incredible. Thank you to the brains behind this. Bravo! I remember how it started, and you said you would keep the improvements coming. Wow, you certainly did that and now it is a beautiful piece of workmanship. Anyone who wants to get their music papers organized will be glad they found this fine app. Highly recommended, to say the least! Now things have changed. The help files are full of typos, and everywhere I look there is evidence of neglect and lack of concern. This app had humble beginnings, and the dev tried hard in those days to get things right. Now this update, after months of disregard, is too little too late. I already uninstalled this old dog and worked hard to find a replacement. I can’t imagine what it would take to get me to try it again at this point. Once bitten twice shy! How do I know now that it won’t crash in the middle of my gig? Show more

I'm updating my original review. The product is currently unstable, unreliable and not useful. Jan. 10 2017 There has been no updates bug fixes or maintenance for years. If it is not fixed quickly I will switch apps. I've been a user for some time. Overall I like it a lot but no new features have been added which concerns me. I have all my fake books installed which totals 2,500+ tunes. Recently learned that system backups do not restore Gigbook files on properly. If true, it's a show stopper and I'll switch another product". swswitch Show more

This has been my go-to app for gigs for a couple of years, but over the last few months it has become extremely unstable and crashes periodically while being used. I received a message that an update is on the way. If all of the issues are rectified, it'll be worthy of a 5-star app again. Show more

This was my go to app for storing songs and arranging set lists. It is now painful to use. It suddenly quits during gigs. It brings up a different song than the one selected. Here's the kicker, the online support page is no longer available. Just click the App Support button on this page. I am now embarrassed for having suggested this app to my professional musician friends. Do Not Buy! Do Not Buy! Do Not Buy! Show more

Deep dish has not been supporting this app with updates for quite some time. It is now very buggy and is practically useless. This is tragic as this was a great app at one time. I would recommend forScore as a replacement... Show more

What are y'all thinking of changing to? I'll echo the reports of others that there are huge problems with DD Gig Book now. Especially the one where clicking on a song in a set list takes you to the last page of the precious song. Not tenable in a performance situation. I've waited patiently for months for this to be fixed and reached for support with no response. Show more

Ever since upgrading to iOS 10, clicking on a chart brings you to the previous chart. It also often freezes when trying to add annotations. The Deep Dish support pages is not working. Frustrating. Show more

I had this app crash twice on me at gig on Saturday. Not acceptable. I also have the same issue with it bringing up the wrong song from a set list. Links to support are broken. I used to love this app, now I tolerate it because all my music is in it. It's time there was a version for the iPhone, too. I'm seriously looking around for another sheet music management app. Show more
