## Review summary

Users find Planning Center Music Stand indispensable and easy to use for weekly worship, but multiple reviews report persistent reliability problems, degraded annotation tools, and inconsistent saving/display of charts that threaten live performances.

### Pros

- Essential tool for worship; used constantly and many users can't imagine leading services without it.
- User-friendly and easy to use; described by reviewers as among the most user-friendly apps.

### Cons

- Chronic reliability and stability problems: crashes, glitches, and app failures during live use.
- Annotation tool regression after updates: loss of previous edits, limited pen options, removal of features like pixel erase, and difficulty adjusting thickness/color.
- Edits and annotations frequently do not persist or get erased; saving is inconsistent.
- Page loading/display issues: delayed loading of pages, charts not displaying, or the app closing mid-song.
