I ve used Abcnotation a good bit My band has a book of about 2010s are set up on the web But I ll look at it with a browser I threw the ABC code When I tell this program to import it it just says they didn t find any ABC files in index HTML     Won t import tunes Lmorris99

This app has crashed repeatedly Every time I ve opened it for more than one minute it closes itself without warning Not particularly easy to use hard to add tunes to How do I get my money back     Crashes Fiddler Ann58

Very good app for sheet music in general You can add your own music in abc format you can personalize playlists and collections and it has a MIDI player It does ok with bagpipe music                 Bought for bagpipe music PiperTwobcont

The example screenshots don t show it but lyrics work well Multi voice music displays properly but only the top line plays back reliably which limits its use as a tool for choral composers arrangers                 Hit and miss for choral music Reviewer 20130105

I downloaded the app to my Iphone It won t open so I can t use it When I try to contact the developer I get the support screen and there is no contact information Itunes can t help What a rip off I wish someone would just contact me about it     can Fiddlecat31

I ve not used ABC notation much but understand how it works This app let s you import whole tunebooks that are available on the web either in total or individually After you have tunes downloaded properly in the app you can sort by title key time signature or abc notes You can then set up tunebooks within the app say you re making a set list or want all of your waltzes in one place like a database you ll see them sorted into these tunebooks while not changing the total list of tunes I have both versions of this app for itouch and iPad and they work slightly differently So far the itouch iPhone app is a little easier to figure out possibly because I ve used it more Looking for a way to add a single new tune in the iPad version haven t found it Wish the web developer site had a click here to contact Great Tool for musicians at any level                     Great music organizer LOVE IT Dulcilady

This app does what it says it will You upload your abc collections using the built in web server Then you can create tunebooks and manually attach selected tunes A bit tedious but it works I use it for dance tunes On my screen the music is too small It would be nice if the app optimized the view for you And really to play from it would require a bigger screen But as a memory aide a nice little program                 Does the job nicely gfhandle

I m new to the ABC music notation format but now that I know about it I certainly see it s power This cool little 2 app makes it shine A feature that I d like to see added is the ability to just show a chord chart for a tune I m envisioning the chords displayed in landscape format with nice large characters That way I could hand my iPod to a guitarist or a piano player and they d be able to read the Chord chart right off the device without squinting Cool app                     Chord chart addition please Dulcimer J

This is the app that I ve always needed but didn t know existed I ve known about ABC notation for a while but it didn t seem that useful as it meant that you re stuck in front of the computer ABC on a handheld is fantastic The notation files are tiny and they render into music nearly instantly I currently have just shy of 5 000 tunes loaded and can scroll through them hundreds at a time Try that with PDFs The app itself is a great step up from the free version definitely worth the 2 The import function includes a true web browser and server so you can import text from the desktop as well as by clicking links From the browser I can get a PDF of a tune and print sheet music making it really easy to get new tunes to my band Being able to hear tunes play is great and the adjustable tempo and voices are perfect The ability to make playlists is very welcome The only thing I d like to see is the ability to add a song to a list from the tune list instead of from within the create playlist area I d like to be able to collect new favorites right as I play them and not have to back out and go to the playlist screen But that s minor Five stars all the way                     My new musical companion Paisleyfrog

The five stars are for having made the app at all The fact that it actually works and does so smoothly and well is even more amazing Thank you Seriously as a frusrated fiddle player who was dying to have some way to carry around all my tunes this is a huge relief The core functionality is all there You can import any abc file and you can search your list And the image rendering is fast and smooth UPDATE Amazing app and the developer has been incredible about responding to suggestions and adding new features Since the first version he s added editing the abc notation playing the tunes multiple tunes lists priceless built in import from abc tune repositories such as Norbeck and TheSession org and many small improvements to display search etc One again thanks so much for all the work you ve done Fantastic app and I use it all the time This is now the best ABC application in any platform and the fact that it is mobile makes it ten times better No more scratching down the names of tunes at a session on a napkin and then loosing it I just pull out tunebook look it up in thesession org and then import it into my to learn list an can immediatley confirm from the music that I have the right tune Awesome p s not that it really matters but it s a shame that the overall rating of the app is affected by people who clearly just didn t understand what tunebook is FOR and then went and gave it a low rating All the written reviews are 5 stars as they should be because out of the millions of apps out there very few bring actual function to the iPhone and are this well done Cheers and keep up the great work                     Finally EmergencyFiddle

This is simply put one of the best abc programs available For any platform not just the iPhone The user interface is simple and clear The tunes sound not bad in MIDI and the staff and note presentations look good Editing is simple and grabbing a tune from the web is about as easy as can be The only real complaint that I had was that tunes were difficult to organize Then this morning there was a new version Now tunes can be added to tunebooks I m not clear whether these tunebooks are more like tags or more like folders with copies of the tunes JH labs web page hasn t caught up with this version yet You can also search and sort by key meter or title In addition you can search by an arbitrary string of abc There seem to be a few glitches For example I m not sure that the sorting by index works properly The app still merits five stars because this is about as good as it gets in an all round abc app                     Not perfect but none better on any platform Bill.who

Perfect for keeping your tunes handy for a quick refresher during practice or at a session The player is excellent with a speed control and a choice of instrument voices Display rendering is very readable It would be nice if tunes could be organized into playlists or sorted for browsing But even without these features this is a great little app and I ll be using it a lot                 This is a great little app Ken757

File folders in the next update please                     Great fdlgrl

K so this is great There s so many times out at sessions when someone says how does that tune go I can remember the name but not how it starts Since I ve now got O Neill s and several other ABC file downloads in the ol database now I can play them the first few notes Or even the whole thing if I want Works great and just as I hoped it would And THANK YOU FOR THE NEW VOICES                     Love It RatTraveler

I d been thinking about writing an app like this myself so I appreciate Jerry making this available Thanks for adding the ability to import my own abc files There are a few rough edges on the program that can be worked around but it definitely gets the job done                 Very useful thanks Seisiuneer
