    Works with PDFS
    Seems to do everything that I want to do just fine. PDF files imported from iTunes work great and I can turn pages with my AirTurn pedal just fine (selling point for me). The only request i would have, is that you give the user the option to get rid of the lame page turn animation. I'm sure the developers are quite happy with it, but I find it to be tacky and annoying when I am using it. My PDF files are white text on black background to be more pleasant on the eyes on a dark stage and the white flash that is generated when pages turn is a big turn off. Show more

    Needs Update
    I've always used PDF files so formatting has never been my issue. Overall pretty good. There are some enticing features that seem to be intermittent. I perform in a duet so we both have My Lyric Book. We (try to) use the Bluetooth sync so that either of us can change to the next song. It loses the connection too often. It doesn't seem to work at all in iOS9. We also sometimes have a different chart (mine might have chord symbols while my partner's might not). By using the exact same file name the sync should pull up the proper chart for each of us. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Show more

    It works
    Es muy Bueno. I use this with a page turner for gigs. It works well. It needs a search button, but I still like it.

    Thankful for this app
    If you follow the directions and not try to just figure it out, it's wonderful. This app has saved me. Easier to use ipad instead of music stand and it's faster to switch songs than turning a page. Seriously, not understanding all these bad reviews. I am a Mac user. Thanks for this app! Show more

    Nice... It'll Suffice.
    If you use this App in its most basic form for Poetry or Song Lyrics like I do, you'll love it. It's clean and organized. To earn 5 stars from me, there'd have to be a fix; keeping the same formatting that I've implemented in WORD--sometimes, it gets lost, i.e., the spacing(s) between the title verse go away when transferred which means (if I want it how I want it, aesthetically, then I have to tweak the document in WORD prior to transfer. And, if at first I don't succeed, then I try, try again. It's nice; it'll suffice. Show more

    Urgent! Mac Users DON’T BUY!
    Please take note and update the app. No really, It used to work with Pages docs, and now I have to save every single lyric sheet into PDF form to use the app. Documents created with Apple’s new Pages app are not compatible, and it’s been out for months! Designers have clearly “left the building” and I think I’m left holding the bag. When I think of the people to whom I've recommended this app, I’m embarrassed. Show more

    Great Idea, Poor Execution
    This app is a miserable failure. With a lot of work and research, I have managed to get a few hundred song lyrics imported, but they cannot be manipulated easily, and the icons described by the developer (i.e., add songs to an existing set list) don’t even exist. I’m still waiting for somebody to figure out how to make a functional, intuitive app for musicians to consolidate their lyrics and set lists on an iPad. Don’t waste your time or money on this junker.

    Solid app, importing external files for songs is questionable
    Good all around design and setup. Just what I was looking for. One problem is the inability to edit song lyrics within the app - you have to edit the pdf elsewhere, and import it into the app. Can't copy and paste lyrics into a new song. Show more

    App has problems
    Unfortunately, since OS8 this app will not load songs into iTunes without corrupting the file. You will be forced to re-edit your word docs. I have 1000+ and the editing time required has made this app no longer very useful. Show more
  • Lee in US, 22.09.2014
    Very pleased so far
    I have been using this app for a couple of years. Today I tried to use it with iOS 8. It pops the keyboard up in the middle of the document so you can't get to the button that lets you play the song. It's unusable. I hope they get it fixed pretty quick. Show more

    Editing in Word for iPad and importing into My Lyrics Book
    Now that Word is on iPad, it would be very easy to copy lyrics from the web, make them a doc and then put them into My Lyrics Book app all on my iPad. Is this soon going to be possible?? I have the first part done, but don't know how to get them into the app without having to go through my computer. Lyrics sites are usually where I get nasty computer bugs, so I had started looking up lyrics on my iPad, typing them into Word and then putting them on the iPad through iTunes. To be able to do all this on the iPad in mere minutes would be just too cool. Thanks!!! Show more

    Great app... And waiting for the return of Pages
    This has been a great go-to "best friend" for songs and set lists. Five stars for sure, until the most recent Pages update, which seems to have compatibility issues that result in blanks, hence the three-star rating. This is indeed sad news, because it was sooooo very easy! Yes, you can convert Pages documents to .pdf's and they will work just fine. I trust this will get handled sooner or later and it will be a five-star app again... Meanwhile - Pages users - convert to .pdf before importing your songs! Show more

    Developer is MIA and features have stopped working
    I have used this app for 2 years and loved it. Now the features to add songs to the set list are not functioning. There is no help available to address the problem. The developer's site requests to email prior to leaving negative feedback, but there's no contact information. I have invested a lot of time in this and recommended the app to many others. What a letdown - I am now searching for another app and recommend that you do as well. Show more

    Great App!
    Just what I needed to store my lyrics! I use this app on stage, and I love that I can create lists to categorize my songs. I have some questions before I update to OS 7. Where can I find your contact info? Show more
  • Cool_C, 07.11.2013
    Question
    I'm sure I will love this app if I find a way to scan a lot of my lyrics in. Is that possible? I have printed out lyrics over many years and I've penned in my own notes like pitch changes and rests, etc. Is there a way to change the scanned format from jpg. to PDF? It would be great if one could make notes directly on the page while viewing it on his iPad like you can on snap chat. Thanks for any help Show more

    Lyric Book ... A must!
    It keeps getting better and better. Do everything you did on the computer and on paper but with ease all in one app. This is a must, no more bulky books and music stands, you will even look more professional. And to boot after the first set you want to rearrange some songs, can't do that on paper but you can with the lyric book, and stays in order, no more search for your stuff by flipping pages, just one finger flip and there it is. And learning stuff is easy, cause the original song is tied in with the lyrics. Rewind and fast forward need work but all and all I give it a100! So much more I could say, all good. Show more

    No problem with updated app
    I had no problems updating to iOS 7 on an iPad with this app. I'd like to add that I've used the app now for about three months, and I don't know how I ever got along without it! Show more
  • ElonElon88, 23.08.2013
    Great Lyric App but....
    I love this app and it's simplistic interface. However, they really need to add the ability to expand and or zoom in the images size within the program. Some of PDFs are smaller then we would like and the there's no current way to use the traditional ipad method of zooming in using my fingers on the screen. Show more

    Really Nice
    I was looking for a "lyric book" replacement. This one's great! You've got to be a bit computer savey to be able to format your lyrics the way you need them but I don't see this as too much of a challenge for most folks. The one caveat most musicians should be aware of (especially those Mac people who are still stuck on OS 10.6.8 and earlier) is that you cannot format through pages '09 because you cannot load pages '09 onto a Mac that dosen't have OS 10.7 or later. This means that you'll have to format your lyrics on your Pages app for ipad/iphone. Since I was taking preformatted lyrics from another program on my Mac this was somewhat time consuming. With that said, a great app which can only get better! Show more
