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

Pretty good. Once the Dev explained how to get the Progression section to work, it became a whole lot more useful to me. I still feel the app has too many things that it wants you to pay extra for. I paid for the scales feature, but limitations in other areas are still a bit annoying. I also feel they should add chord progression playback as well as song playback, or simplify the UI so that adding the progression to a song is easier.

Must get! A bit expensive but it does have a lot of nice features. The interface is not that great in terms of appearance, but it gets the job done and it's not ugly. I'm not sure how they could improve it though. It would be nice if you could upgrade your purchase instead of having to buy a completely new one. I got the Plus Special 2018 I think for 9£ and to get the unlimited is another £18. Their store menu could also be improved to show more clearly what you get for each purchase option.
