Recent reviews

I applaud this app. Many real book type apps face an uphill challenge with many (illegal) PDF versions of songbooks and users demanding easy interface. This app works great and even reads external PDFs so celebrate that. If you're serious about the music, buy the printed books! You might even learn something. For me, I've pulled this app out in a pinch onstage during a gig where I just wasn't sure about a few chords and it saved my bacon/cheese/profiterole. So thanks....

Overall this is a fairly good program. For what it costs. If I were wishing for additional functionality, well ... I have a list: 1st, make that "included" database with hundreds of (mostly) handwritten tunes with minimal information OPTIONAL. 2nd, failing that, make it easy to REMOVE that extensive database except one at a time, which takes essentially forever. 3rd, write an extensive help file, even if only on-line. 4th, maybe even publish the source code so that someone else could help.
