## Description

**SongBook+** is a digital songbook for musicians using iPad, iPhone, or Mac. Organize lyrics, sheet music, PDFs, images, ChordPro files, setlists, backing tracks, audio, video, and MIDI in one reliable app. Search, tag, annotate, transpose, scroll or turn pages automatically, and manage multiple songbooks for different bands or projects.

Designed for rehearsals and live performances, SongBook+ supports synchronized audio playback, MIDI commands, keyboard registrations, external monitors, foot pedals, metronomes, loops, mixers, and wireless control across multiple devices. The app is free for up to 15 songs, with larger repertoires available through an in-app purchase or subscription. SongBook+ does not provide content; musicians import and manage their own files.

## Review summary

Reviews mix strong catalog management, reliable live performance features, and responsive support with notable stability and licensing concerns. Recurring themes include iPad Pro crashes, premium/upgrade requirements, and Dropbox/import reliability issues, plus editing limitations and limited cross-device sharing. Overall, many users value SongBook+ for performance features and organization, but persistent stability and pricing concerns limit its appeal for some.

### Pros

- Great organization of a large music catalog with fast search and easy access to songs.
- Reliable live-performance features, including MIDI control and Bluetooth pedal support.
- High-quality lyrics/lead sheets display that’s easy to present on stage.
- Responsive, helpful support team.
- Easy import and backup options (PDFs via Finder, backup/sync workflow).

### Cons

- Significant stability issues and crashes, especially on iPad Pro or after iOS updates (random freezes, crashes during performance).
- Licensing and payment model frustrations (premium gating, forced updates, time-limited licenses).
- Cloud/import reliability problems (Dropbox import can hang or fail).
- Editing/formatting limitations (cannot change font size; some song edits or content sharing are restricted).
- Limited cross-device sharing and, for non-full versions, song-book limits.
