Excellent app a must for professional musicians no question                     Wonderful App the plunker
This is a great app for organizing all my music If you want to organize fake books sheet music or hand written music you wrote yourself this app handles it all Excellent                     A Great App for Organizing Music Mjc1215
It would be so helpful to be able to rearrange songs in a setlist Please consider the possibility of moving songs around Thanks             Set Lists The Gazette
I would not want to go back to the old way of fumbling through books or wishing I had access to my music library Easy to set up if you read the help files and tech support is courteous and top notch                     A great app that works as advertised MajMinSharp
Horrible attitude when responding to emails     Terrible customer support Scrappy 257
This is a great app for taking heavy books to a gig or even practicing at home or on trips as that is how I use the app I do not play out but have the same needs as pro and semi pro performers Derjazzmeister s comments on improvements written approximately 16 May 2017 mother s day in the U S are right on the money for the next round of improvements                     What derjazzmeister said Douggums
I purchased this app soon after receiving my 9 7 inch iPad Pro If you are expecting to find all of the real books listed in the description included in the download you are mistaken Only the INDICES of the books are included You will need to provide scans of the books in PDFs yourself Since Apple doesn t provide a simple way to get documents to your iPad the app allows you to link your pdfs to the corresponding predefined index via Dropbox or iCloud Drive I spent a better part of a weekend afternoon getting the app set up and synchronized with the pdfs I already had The timing was great because I had a gig that Sunday night and I was looking forward to trying it out One of my unexpected favorite features of this app is the construction of set lists You can do a song search and drop the song into a set list or you can browse through a book and add a given song to a set list If a song is more than one page all pages make it into the set list When I got to my first gig I was not sure how this was going to work so I brought my books as backup but they were totally unnecessary I didn t have to think about what song was next I didn t have to turn pages to find it I just tapped the bottom of the screen and the next tune was ready to go No more playing an alphabetic set list or paging through hoping to find something in the remaining minutes of a set UPDATE I have played several gigs with this now and added a foot pedal to advance pages This is a must when reading off charts 1 page I needed to contact support once about an issue I had with a built in index Support was very responsive and was able to address the issue within minutes Improvements I would love to see A smarter way to turn pages Now that I have the pedal this isn t an issue for me but it has been frustrating to tap the screen expecting a page turn but instead getting the top menu In the heat of the battle it s hard to be accurate with where you poke the screen You would think editing a page like adding a missing chord symbol or something would be very simple The editing interface is such an awful mystery Very unintuitive The ability to use the Apple Pencil or even your finger to draw notes make corrections directly on the page and save them back to a set list or the actual PDF is an obvious improvement to me and should be highly prioritized The ability to advance pages even when the current page is zoomed In portrait view scans do not always fill the screen It would be nice if when resized pages could still be advanced especially with a pedal The ability to set a default zoom per page or at least per book and have that zoom setting to songs in set lists Some scans have fairly wide margins and when working on a 9 7 inch device there s plenty of room to increase the zoom thereby filling the page with the chart but there s no way to make it stick and no way to turn the page when it s zoomed The addition of a Key column in the song index Imagine you have a dozen or so scans of fake books It is likely that you will have more than one instance of a tune It is also likely that you will have the same tunes in multiple keys I think it would be nice to see the addition of a Key column even if it is not in the default index but some way to add it in yourself This would be helpful when working with a vocalist or instrumentalist For now it would have to be added in a set list but by the time its in a set list you known what the key is The ability to browse ALL your songs without first needing to do a search The removal of the tool tips on every link on the web interface this is a personal preference Make the composer field optional on custom pdfs from the web interface It used to be an optional field After playing with ForScore I love the feature of turning the iPad into landscape and the page fills edge to edge left and right showing the top half of the page When I advance with the pedal the page view shifts down keeping the same nice and full width and showing the bottom half of the page Hit the pedal again and it advances to the top of the next half of the page I would use this all the time it s so much easier to read on a 9 7 inch screen Instead what happens in iGigBook is the portrait sized page shrinks to fit on the whole screen You get two pages side by side Nice if you have a 12 inch iPad but useless if you have a regular sized iPad Also the zoom in this view is awful Overall while there is room for improvement the best thing about this app has been the amazing reduction of all the stuff I have to bring to a gig I can put this up on the piano and I have all my charts with me The manual entry of song titles in your own book is handy but extremely tedious and easy for book indexes to get off I don t know what a solution to that would be There is no way to reindex the default Fake books so your scans better have all the pages including the pictures This is a shortcoming in my opinion                 Good App looking forward to improvements derjazzmeister
It takes a bit of time and effort to get iGig Book set up but once you do you can leave all your bulky fake books at home I Love it                     I Love iGig Book martymetcalf
Took me a while to figure this out But now that I know how to use it I am showing all my musician friends Took my iPad phone and computer to Germany for a series of gigs In rehearsal I was able to receive new music PDFs and upload them instantly and then add rehearsal notes Best part is no heavy gig book and searching through a hundred pages I am a diehard fan BTW I m a harpist with both hands too busy to turn pages The companion pager app was revolutionary for me                     IGigBook and iGigBook pager KyRho's Fire
Love the app the new metronome feature is awesome                     iGigBook GTRBear
I love how my music is so organized thanks to this app on my iPad Creating set lists is a breeze Bye bye songbooks                     Great app musical2
First let me say that I highly recommend this app without any reservation Realize that the process of indexing your own PDF files will take up a fair amount of time but ultimately worth being able to search Wish List 1 When searching for a song with a single word title I wish the algorithm would prefer the single word ahead of every other song that contains the word in its title i e Smile which produces hundreds of hits but buries Smile far down the list 2 It would be nice to have the option to change the background color Often the iPad is illuminating your face with the drab gray which is not very flattering unless you desire a zombie like appearance 3 It is awkward at times to search on the fly The search x cancel box located at the top right is not always cooperative It would be nice to have the option of locating this feature underneath the keyboard instead of in separate locations 4 The table of contents you provide does not always match the version of the fake book that I have of the same title Often it is only a few pages off but nonetheless of no use Indexing seems to be the only current fix for this Are there any other solutions currently available                 Game Changer Twjkk3
All I can say is igigbook has made life much easier for me as a working musician What used to be a suite case full of books is now all contained and easily accessed on my iPad through igigbook Thank you Phil for creating Igigbook and all the flexibility and tremendous repertoire it enables me to have on the fly at gigs This app pays for it self before the gig                     Igigbook Clydemusic
I have used this app for a few years now Somewhat tedious to load with fake books but it works great no bugs                 Great app MrVinny1
Of course like many others I have all the real books in iBooks Even converting them to PDF does not work because they end up with different pagination You might have said this upfront Why did I have to search the forum after my purchase to find this out I want my money back Sent from my iPad     Misleading Hdgm1110
No more carting around bags of song books Just collect them all in iGigBook Easy to upload pdfs and some annotation tools as well                     Great app Motherlode4
This program is unusable I have four Real Books in both Bb and Eb downloaded on my computer but there is no way to get iGigbook to recognize and allow me to use them     Ridiculous Lotte Lenye
Love this app It is great to not have to carry RealBooks or folders of sheet music to gigs Keep up the great work                     Great Idea Great App Uncle Zo
Here s who I think will benefit from iGigBook You are a musician who plays or wants to play from fake books You have access to well prepared digital versions of fake books they do not come with the app You are willing to put in a few hours to read the instructions and set the books up in iGigBook You have either good eyesight or an iPad Pro with a large display If you meet these criteria you will be in hog heaven with iGigBook You will have near immediate access to any song in multiple fake books and depending on your source material in multiple keys Lacking any of the above listed requirements you will probably be disappointed The 5 star rating is for those who are willing to put a little work into it to harvest the rewards                     Setup is a bit time consuming but the outcome is awesome stonehinge
I like the app a lot and it works pretty well I wish getting some of the books indexed and added was a little easier but all and all it is a good tool for working musicians                 Crashes Jazzy cool Man
This is a wonderful and eminently useful app Rather than hauling around all your fake and real books if you have the pdf s you re set to play                     Better than carrying around half dozen books digbop
Indispensable app for organizing and indexing sheet music                     Updates keep making it better Lozodog
Cannot find contact info to register software 0 service after they deposited my donation Registration page is dead end     iGigbook
I did it with help from a friend I suggest that two people get together and see if that works better for you He got his done after weeks of trial and errorit went faster with the two of us doing it keeping the file names right caps or not and sometimes changing the name of the bookskeeping track of where we are in the processjust a thought thanks friendand good luck to the rest of you              I did it
This app is the main reason I own an iPad I use it for every gig I wish it was easier to find the books to import to the provided indexes                 Great app
Ive been using this app for the last two years and love it more now than ever There is a learning curve but once you get into it its great              Great app for musicians
This is an app that I dont leave home without I may not need it on every gig but its always good to know that I can tap into my music library and find that chart that I need                 If you gig this is what you need
I waste more time on this app it will start playing a sample of the song Im performing right in the middle of my performance It is sensitive to movement even wind so it will turn a page in the middle of my song Its more frustration than its worth The only thing I like are the free songs which I can transpose I figured that out I wanted to get into my system preferences and couldnt remember my password and it gives you no option to retrieve it Totally frustrating     NOT for the Tech challenged
Bad customer support Very difficult if not impossible to add Bb or Eb editions of the Classic Real Book Just how many people are you going to ignore     Extremely poor support Good luck importing books you have the index for
I would give it 5 stars if it would support my pageflip cicarda Bluetooth paddle              Great app
What is it with the update It cannot be open And the previous one cannot sync all of my books     Cannot be open
Not ready for production Indexes are inaccurate Uncle Asked for a refund     Fail
The navigation tab dissapears with any apparent reason and leaves you stuck No help seems to availablethis app is a mess try something else     Glitchy unresponsive no help guide
After packing my horn for a gig the next thing to pack is my IPad with all my set list installed on IGig Book A must have for gigging musicians                 Go To App for Gigs
I didnt find this app to be user friendly AT ALL the instructions are very unclear and I didnt find the online help tool useful either After reading through the forum I see many others were disappointed as well This app may work for some musicians but it wasnt anything like I expected it to be After many days and many hours trying to figure this out Im beyond frustrated Save your money     Disappointed
I have all my PDFs on my iPad I currently use them with pdf notes and this app provides very bad instructions on how to go about adding PDFs Apparently you need to put them on the device then verify them on the site which requires an account The site has no links so again its confusing what to do Then you need to provide a download link for each book or something Waste of my time and money Just use pdf notes and dont bother with this crap If they make this more user friendly maybe Ill give it a thumbs up but right now its not even worth it for the price of FREE     Hard to use
Very good              Igigbook
I dont need to lug around thousands of pages of sheet music My music is organized by this program on my iPad Other players and I use this program to plan set lists and access a large library of sheet music I like the search function especially I also use set lists If you dont read music or take audience requests you may not need this program I rely on it                 Musthave for casuals jams and librarys search
This app is fantastic but learning all it can do is like learning calculus At some point it has got to get more user friendly              Great learning curve
The books I can load do not match the index There is no information on where to get the right book that would match the index           Its ok but has flaws
The app appears to have potential if they can fix the bugs After loading all my PDFs into the program the dang thing quits zapp The program appears to have removed its self from my iPad I tried all the things suggested to fix the problem but nothing worked Im left with the program icon and no way to reach the developer to have the problem resolved or get a refundhowever the app has potential I will not purchase it again until it is updated        App stops working
Very frustrating to set up Spending several days trying to make it functional     Igigbook
Way too hard to load songbooks Pagination is wrong a third of the time Crashes This app costs too much to be this clunky     Not Ready for Prime Time
I have been using igigbook on the gig for over a year now Two days after downloading it I wished to get my money back If you download it today and expect to use it tonight at the gig forget it There is a big learning curve here let alone time assembling your books from scanning downloading etc So is it worth all the time and yes frustration The answer is a resounding YES This program is simply awesome First and foremost IT WORKS It is dependable and hasnt failed me on the job Its my workhorse and I couldnt be doing what Im doing without it The updates have been relatively seamless which is a BIG plus The support has been amazing The developer andor the forum has been very supportive and answered all my questions quickly and gracefully I usually find out that the limitations to the program ends up being my limitation to understanding an aspect of the program For instance I was frustrated that I couldnt move a song from one set list to another only to find out that I can under set list management but not obvious at first Take your time with it and it will reward you When taking requests on the gig I tell people I may not know the song but likely my iPad does Theres no way I could be playing all the songs Im playing on the gig without my prompts from igigbook A program of this nature is why I bought my iPad and igigbook has fit its purpose perfectly                 Igigbook has helped my music career
I just bought the Igigbook and the product is loved by many musicians yet the ones I tried to get help wasnt using the app properly So I read the chats and any thing online where now I know how to index my Realbooks Now Im upset because I have to now figure out how to load More book templates in the Book Lists screen I like it But its a lot of work           Good app but still a lot of work
I bought app a week ago I have now spent countless hours and am unable to get it to work and when it does it is inconsistent The PDF files I have added off my Mac using iTunes do not show up in either the book list when I have named them exactly the way the instructions say or in the My Scores list when named the original way But the computer screen in iTunes says these files are in the app even though they are nowhere to be seen on the iPod But two times out of countless tries the file did go into the book list properly although I did nothing different the two times it worked There is no tech support no one to talk to There is a forum but nothing shows problems I am experiencing and tho I posted a question I dont expect anyone will answer Unless I am contacted by someone who will walk me through whatever is wrong this app was a huge waste of time and money I am very POd about this whole experience     most frustrating app ever
Would love the ability to rotate the iPad and have the app rotate Not sure why this basic feature is not there Would be a 5 in my book with this feature           Landscape mode prevents it from being a 5
If you have the pdf files Luckily they are not hard to find I love the different search features                 Great app if
Wish I could find all of the books indexed in the program More work is needed on indexing accuracy but the app is a critical tool in my arsenal              Igigbooks
Ive been working with Igigbook for a mere 6 straight hours At this point I have one song indexed and I cant reconstruct how I got that one to index Im emotionally exhausted by trying to figure out how to make this program work I know Ill get it because I invested mucho bucks in this iPad so I wont give up til I get it and my friends are using it and loving it But dont delude yourself into thinking this process is simple Its now after 2am and Im delirious with frustration I read the forums and they are populated with condescension and scorn for those who dont get it I feel like Ive entered a new world full of sickos Hopefully in two weeks Ill give this five stars but today it isnt worth a freakin penny     Really
iGigBook has become my inseparable gig buddy It is the most useful intelligently designed PDF reader for the gigging musician It contains all the essential features and tools that make it quite effective on the gig easy to use navigate through Thanks                 Gig Buddy
It took me many frustrating hours to get igigbook set up to present I have had a very difficult time signing in to myigigbook as it would not accept my password or user name and was unable to find or access a source to correct or change any issues that I still have That that I have achieved has been very helpful and I love it I hope I can make changes to BOOk LIST and MY SCORES without losing or destroying what I have              Most helpful
The clouddropbox integration is challenging to get through from an interface standpoint Once you get your head around the arcane system of syncing through their website though the end result is impressive and useful Rewritten from an original review that was more harsh than necessary           Clunky to use but ultimately effective
I took my iPad to a gig where there is no wifi Guess what No wifi no igigbook So it is utterly useless to me unless there is some way to load the files onto the iPad hard drive the way some games etc are The ads are deceptive because nowhere do they say you have to have wifi to use it So I guess I wasted 15 bucks Too bad Its a nice idea     Useless so far
Ive been using this app pretty much since it came out and have turned several other musicians on to this app It is great app But ever since the last two updates it now crashes all the time As a working musician especially a drummer this is a HUGE issue I have a brand new up to date iPad Air with no other apps running and in mid song Crash Trying to play reopen the app find the song not mess up while fixing the crashed app Nightmare Sadly I am forced to use a different app until this problem is resolved which I hope is soon        Updates Are Killing This App
One the glitches that wakey programs ever I hope the final resul of dealing with poor worthless unupdated instructions as to how to get files into the program works So far to GEEKY Ive been trying for 3 days to get songs in the thing     Igigbook
I play at gigs where unfamiliar tunes are often called and have to know the melodyform so this app is invaluable iRealB is great for practicing and pulling up the changes but this app organizes and catalogs realfake book collections providing you with the critical details of a tune on the gig A few favorite features are the ability to index the transposed Bb Eb and bass clef books search functions a track record of reliability and set lists A few suggestions to make the app better a more intuitive set list interface landscape mode and more intuitive annotating a la For Score If you are considering purchasing this app do it Musicians of all genres will benefit from its features              A MustHave for Gigs
Ive never used an app on an Apple device that works like this Instead of sliding to the left to delete you must press and hold like every other app then delete the title in order to delete a piece of sheet music Ive scanned and imported Weird Once I scan then I have to import the image as a pdf Sometimes it shows up as a file name sometimes I have to hit refresh a few times Then I have to press and hold to rename It might show up in the proper alphabetical order for a second but then promptly disappears to a file called temporarypdf When I try to rename again it disappears forever Painful The only reason for 2 stars is it works about 50 of the time and is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to this type of app        Buggy and Counterintuitive
No more paper books folders to carry to gigs no more assuring everyone in the band has the set listall done thru this appit is a must get Well worth it                 Great product
Been using this App for over a year now Had a gig 2 nights ago and the app hasnt worked since then Such a terrible inconvenience All my lyrics and charts are in this app Lesson learned Keep my binders of music for back up OR use another app in addition to this one     App has stopped working
Thanks iGigbooks for being there for me and my fellow musicians                 iGigbooks
Great app But I wish it had no limit for sync option                 Great app
I am so bewildered by the level of user UNfriendliness of this program I know it works well because Ive used the program on gigs I am amazed at the total lack tutorial info     iGigbook
Ive owned this app quite a long time left multiple reviews and suggestions but it seems that the developer has never worked as a performing musician especially in situations where songs are called spontaneously on gigs As a result the same difficulties that interfered with this being a userfriendly app at its first release persist Heres why 1 For copyright reasons the developer can only provide indexes not the corresponding realfake book content Many of the indexes included are inconsistent with the pagination of content out there on the internet As a result even using the apps page offsets the wrong song will often show up when searched Musicians scrambling onstage to pull up a song at a moments notice are thus screwed The developer should have thought this through and at least provided links to content that exactly matches the indexes 2 For some reason the developer has avoided complete integration of all features into the app forcing users to switch to a browser to access some features They seem so attached to this cumbersome approach they have even resorted to excluding app update notes from the App Store forcing users to visit their website for the same kind of info all other developers post on the App Store 3 Rather than adopt a cooperative attitude with users I have found the developer to have taken an adversarial position on several occasions Apps like this succeed or fail based on word of mouth from working musicians who depend more than anything else upon the reliability of their tools Ive since switched to using ForScore even with manual tagging and indexing taking more time and effort it is worth it which has many more useful performance features as well as iRealB for chord charts If you are a working pro like myself I suggest looking into those two apps instead        The developer needs to listen to musicians
Although this is a good basic Gig book it lacks several things 1 It is very clumsy to make notes on your score Face it when youre in rehearsal you just want to write instructions for that groupperformance 2 It could be easier to turn pages 3 I would love a more userfriendly interface for manipulating files that you import 4 It would be nice to be able to add rehearsal recordings to the songs and like other apps open songs you own on your computer that have the name of your song Just Sawin This app is average           Not intuitive needs hand notes
Once the books are inside just the fast search is what is cool in his app But What makes it so complicated Like adding our own books is a PITA Doesnt work with iTunes to add any book even if you have the score of that book and you add it too the book doesnt open etc and please MORE IMPORTANT make it synchronize with the page flip pedal like fourscore does I felt I purchased it for nothing Wake up other apps are leaving you behind           Still like it but
Dont bother     Rip off
Read the title line                 I bought my iPad JUST for this app and its incredible
Love it hope they add the index for The Great Gig Book or sometimes called the Blue Book Use that one a lot also                 great app
Pros use this app because it serves a good purpose but there is so much room for improvement 1 If pdfs are in the master index you have to rename the files so they sync with the index its a convoluted and difficult way to set things up so they are useful 2 Its also difficult to find the pdfs for purchase or download Itd be nice to know where I can get the books 3 You can only bookmark when viewing a book You cannot bookmark a song within a book that you found via search the feature isnt available 4 Bookmarks are relevant to the book you are viewing so you have to remember which book you put the bookmark in or you will never find it and there doesnt appear to way to keep track of your bookmarks 5 All of the books appear to have some offset in pagination between iGig and the book itself If you set an offset instead of just correcting the offset users are expected to set it themselves Very annoying 6 So youve set an offset and you try to bookmark a song in a book The name of the bookmark includes a page number that doesnt account for your offset so you have to rename everything 7 I have no idea how to index my scores They all appear as unindexed and what this app needs is a better interface that gives better help        Lots of issues but can prove useful if you are diligent
So the potential is there for an extraordinary 5 stars after you load your FB pdfs BUT 1 the developer doesnt see iPad user need for landscape after multiple user requests for landscape although he claims he can do landscape and has on other noniPad devices dev is totally tone deaf that if youre switching in and out of landscape iPad music apps you are unnecessarily forced to physically keep flipping iGig Book around so nutty dev logic is based on how the developer uses the app himself 2 Buggy you can get stuck in a book and cant access the main menu at the top etc Never buy from a dev until heshe LISTENS to users customers Time to listen up     Developer does NOT listen 5 stars when really listening
Simply the best                 Best app for reading and sorting PDF music files
