Purchased the app plus the midi functionas an extra. Having used Stagetraxx on ipad I was looking for similar on android. There's no comparison, I feel I have completely wasted my money. Have tried it on samsung phone with android 13 and samsung tablet android 7. Pulling my hair out as it's just slow and clunky when bits of it work. Most of the time it doesn't. Maybe it's better on apple but who knows ? Shall be going back to songerpro (shame no midi) on android and stagetraxx on ipad.
Keeps crashing on a new Android tablet.
Brilliant on my iPad. Terrible on Android. Crashes after every song.
Brilliant then you updated it. I can no longer share export setlist as the files are not recognised. My recording keep dissapeaing. Up till this update my experience was possitve however this is now terrible and I will be looking for an alternative set list maker. You need to test updates before they hit the market. Very poor show guys!!!!
Horrendous experience. Very difficult to import charts, crashes constantly, share function does not work, no way of transferring database to other devices. EVERY single chart needs a new song entry and then linked to documents rather than just importing pdf. Help page make no sense and very confusing. I have written to help support twice with no answer, even sent videos but no help DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY does not deserve even one star. I will update if help ever reply and get it working
Ffs Too difficult to use and YES I watched all sort of tutorials And contacted support too. Just made me feel more likean idiot than I already did
Will not work on Android
Don't waste your time or money, Period. Not really worth the time to write
a review but future users need to know it's not worth it even if it was
offered for free.

To difficult to navigate, waste of money
I had really high hopes but this app is just WAY too frustrating to set up. It crashes a lot, auto-scrolling is a nightmare to get correct scroll speed, and layouts are complicated and confusing. Wasted money other than to send midi presets to my midi devices but many other apps can do that too. After sending so many crash reports I finally gave up. Wound up with an iPad and Onsong and now have a working solution.
I bought this app with THE SPECIFIC REASON OF SENDING AND RECEIVING MIDI DATA. It was another couple bucks extra to get the upgrade, which is no big deal, what is a big deal is it won't let me install the upgrade. I select it, push continue...and NOTHING! And now I just paid 15 bucks for NOTHING! Fix this please so I can actually automate my rig, and you will get your 5 stars. I am thoroughly pissed right now....
Won't let me copy and paste or search lyrics
New update is terrible!
App closes every time I click on a show to open. My ipad version runs ok but I cannot find a way to get over the problem on my android tablet.
It's way too complicated. And sometimes it just doesn't work. I push a button and nothing happens
Horrible nightmare , my popup typing screen only dissapears when I tap the color tab.help is aByzantine joke.. will try to reinstall ...next try.. still no + button , Da!n pop up screen is there even toggle full screen mode. Running jellybean through samsung galaxy 3 lite...will try , busy now ..thank u
Absolute waste of money. Spent 5 hours attaching songs and lyrics. Started creating a show and clock doesn't work to set play times. Ap crashing constantly. Lyrics attached but not displaying. Don't waste your money.
can you please explain the thing i bought you apps. the apps work. but the midi to connect. I bought twice. but still not working properly. can i refund my money
I bought the app specially because of the Bluetooth (BLE) integration. I use it with an Adafruit BLE feather board to control my Line6 Helix effect (l like setting effects in relation to songs on the playlist). This device has no problem with other BLE apps (Dreamhound keyboard), but with setlist maker I continuously lose the BLE device, I don't want that on stage. (It keeps giving me Java IO exception when sending to all ports (EPIPE broken pipe)).
Crashing constantly when adding chords. This is super frustrating and a waste of time.
SAVE YOUR MONEY - for a non-free app, this app works almost as bad as Snapchat. It crashes CONSTANTLY. I've tried updating it to no avail. It's really too bad, because, at its core, it's a really great idea, but it crashes on me more than it works (which, during a gig, is a massive bummer). They should give this app away for free, with how bad it works. I have free, third-party apps that work better than this. Maybe if they figure out all of the bugs, it'll be good. Not happy so far.
I was looking for an app that I could sync with an Apple user. Found out this only syncs set lists, not the actual documents. Very disappointed. Also, the PDF lyric sheet views are blurry, making it tough to read while playing.
When I first downloaded it is was very pleased with how it worked, now it's not letting me add songs or edit anything, it stopped working the other night during a show and that really sucks, I'm very disappointed in the app and wish there was a way to get my money back, if not at lest fix whatever is wrong with it!!!!!!!!!!
Just bought this app to use with the band and it is terrible. Paid £10 for an app that crashes every time i use it. Can't even build a list let along use it live. Rather just scroll my way through google docs like before. Can't find a positive for that price. Would be good to have an option to create everything online via the website first then sync with device so all data is readily available as i entered a text file with fields as indicated, the lyrics came up as part of a set list. Each line was a new song. Maybe it is operator error but i'm going back to simple old text files.
If this app cost 2 bucks, I wouldn't mind if it crashed a lot. But I've been entering in music for about 30 minutes and it has crashed three times. I can't imagine what that would look like on stage. Getting used to the interface is one thing (it is a fairly steep learning curve moving around, knowing what windows will allow you to edit and why does the edit button not appear other times). But crashing is not excusable for a $12 app. If it was stable I would blame myself for not being able to use it better.
Couldn't get the program to respond with my android based tablet. Pictures In tutorial don't match what I'm seeing and many off the icons are faded out
I seem to have a release that is not supported by an android tutorial. Spent a frustrating hour trying to find some instructions that show the same screen that came with the app. Went back to the app store and bought set list helper which was very intuitive and no tutorial required.
App keeps crashing very frustrating
