Gig Hard! Setlists for Bands

Many of you have experienced issues with this app. If you use the free app, it won't do everything it could. Plus the ads are PITA. I love this app. It does everything I need it to do. Some complain about the download one song at a time. Well, it downloads so fast, it's not an issue for me. Some complain about the songs not scrolling/swiping to the next song. There is a little trick to that. When you put your set lists together and have the songs arranged in the order you want, click on the set list. Now, if you want to run one song click on the one song. If you want to run the list, open the set list, then click "GIG". Now the app will load all the songs in the set. Swipe left, then right, it works great. You have to buy the pro add on for 5.00. I find it more than worth it. It really is a great app and does everything they say it does.

One of the first things is importing lyrics, using dropbox you have to import one song at a time and then confirm, I have hundreds of songs, cant see why it won't import your whole dropbox full of lyrics. Second you select a song from setlist then it takes U to the edit mode, then U have to select the user mode, which is more steps than desired when U are performing that is. Another is the scroll speeds, there should be more control for inbetween speeds to allow lyrics to sync better with song tempo. There's more but I wont be using the app, make improvements then it'd be useful for performing gigs.

The app works perfectly as described. I had a question and Dante was very quick to answer it. Here is my question and simple straight forward and prompt response. Dennis replies Nov 12, 8:02am excellent. got it. love this program. I will be giving you lots of referrals in the Detroit Michigan area. Thank You, Dennis Danté replied Nov 11, 8:14pm Hi Dennis, There is a very subtle difference between loading a Song or loading a Setlist. Open a Setlist by tapping on it's name on the left sidebar DO NOT tap on any song within the setlist as it will load only that particular song (this is why you cannot swipe). INSTEAD, tap on 'Gig' at the bottom of the setlist. Now, the whole Set has been loaded Once you do this, then swiping in between songs will work. Swipe on the body (text) of the song from right to left. Everything is functioning perfect.

This is just perfect for me. Importing songs and editing is simple and straightforward. Setting up song lists is a breeze. Timing and font size options work perfectly. The older I get, the harder it is for me to remember lyrics and music. This app is just what I needed. Not carrying a songbook is great! Having what I need on the iPad is easy and unobtrusive when I play. Customer support is quick and helpful. The downside to the app is ....well I don't have any ! I recommend this without hesitation..

I started using this app about three months ago. I had been using a music stand and hard copies with a band I sing back up with. The leader also used a stand and it made the stage very crowded. Now my iPad fits on my mic stand and it works perfectly. I practice my set prior to a gig to set the speed of each song. When I decided to start a duo on my own this app was a game changer. Because I’m upfront singing solo I needed to make sure I was on point with my lyrics. People often ask how I can memorize all those songs so quickly. Only thing is not being able to move the songs around in the setlist once you’ve created it. At least I haven’t figured that part out yet. I highly recommend this app.
