Edit 2: The most comprehensive app. Well worth a single purchase when mainstream apps charge the same price per month!! The song book search engine is a brilliant tool that makes so much music really quickly accessible. I've not properly used half the tools available yet! Edit: Issue resolved. I don't know if it was the dev or just a bug that's sorted. The dev responded very quickly anyway! I bought the unlimited version some time ago and now it's saying I only have the free version.

Nearly a year on from my last 5* review but I wish I could give 6* at least. This app is incredible and the support (thank you Heidi) is amazing. They are responsive, open to app enhancement suggestions and more helpful than a nun on steroids. Thank you Snartchord! You have vitalised my music experience. Now all my songs that used to be in half a dozen analogue devices (books) are in one place. The value for money is off the scale! Access to this magic costs less than a decent set of strings.

Mostly impressed, replaces many different apps with one do-it-all effort. What bothers me though is the best feature IMO, the songbook, will only import and process songs with chords (which is all I use at the minute) if they are in a very specific double space format; a line of chord names followed by a line of lyrics and so on. The many thousands of song sheets I have, and most of what I have seen have the chord names bracketed in a different colour in line with the text. It would be fantastic if this format were recognised by the app rather than having to completely rewrite on a touch screen. Other than that, brilliant
