User Reviews

Set List Maker is praised for its robust feature set, strong support, and reliable sharing for gigging musicians. Users emphasize ongoing development and practical workflow benefits. However, multiple reviews note update-induced instability and data loss, plus frustration with not being able to add personal songs and a growing complexity in newer versions.
Pros
  • Rich feature set and flexibility for building and managing set lists, including lyrics, chords, notes, starting key, and custom fields with smart lists.
  • Excellent and responsive developer support, with timely help, tutorials, and an active community.
  • Easy sharing, backups, and archiving of the database; simple to print or send set lists to the band; reductions in spreadsheet clutter.
  • Proven reliability for gigging over many years with ongoing updates and improvements.
  • Hands-free on-stage usability features (e.g., Bluetooth foot-switch page turning).
Cons
  • Update-related stability and data integrity issues, including crashes when opening files and data loss after upgrades, as reported by multiple users.
  • Inability to add personal songs or import content after updates, leading to frustration about value and usability.
  • Increased complexity and configuration burden in newer versions, resulting in a steeper learning curve for some users.
Recent reviews
I have been using this app for years to write my sets and have my lyrics on hand when I forget. It has saved me multiple times and helps with my confidence knowing that if I get forgetful or lost I can quickly touch my screen and get back on track with the right lyrics or chords. It is also seamless when sending out set lists to the band and printing set lists if you wanna go old school. The database is easy to share and archive. Great tool for a band and for singers.
