App Store Reviews
Extraordinary Service!
by Lyle B. (USA) on 3/24/2017 (v.5.1.7)
No less than immediate coverage of help ticket items, connection questions, and workflow recommendations to all levels of users. I can't get this kind of feedback on any of my PC DAW software, much less iPad apps. Worth many times the price. A solid Five!
Amazing App that Keeps Getting Better!
by WFoard (USA) on 6/3/2016 (v.4.2.11)
This app has morphed into a "must have" for my band. All 6 of us use it every week! Arlo has graciously listened to his users and incorporated the most useful and convenient features imaginable. The app allows you to do anything from having a simple, easy to read list of songs, to controlling all your on-stage midi devices (and video)! When I prepare a setlist for our shows (we perform several times per week), I alert the band to download it. I there are any changes, no problem... we can update anytime, even at the gig! The app is set up so you can scroll lyrics (with or without chords), and you can have useful fields visible onscreen that help with program content, count-off hints, time remaining for show, etc. Setlistmaker is even essential for rehearsals. For example, you can attach recordings AND alter their tempo and key so your band can rehearse right along with the song. There is so much customization available it's ridiculous. But it never becomes difficult to manage or understand. Whenever there is a problem (which is rare), Arlo addresses it right away! This app is AMAZING and worth every penny!
Great App, Lots of features
by Hempy23 (USA) on 2/24/2016 (v.4.2.10)
I use this app all the time. Lots of great features - adding music, lyrics, practice schedule, notes about the show, BPM, etc. And most impressive is the ability to customize with user defined fields (you can do just about anything). You can also sync with other users, and develop automation if you need to. Managing your song list and and shows is very simple. I have been in bands for 30 years….1000’s of shows, this is a great tool. Cost is worth every penny.
My most used music app
by Buzzroll (USA) on 11/17/2015 (v.4.2.5)
I have used this app for almost two years. It is very powerful. It took me a while to learn everything but...wow, I can't live without it on stage or at rehearsals. I'm a drummer. I work in several projects with ever changing set lists. I can easily add and change lists on the fly. I attach lyric sheets, lead charts, and notes to every song. I use the scrolling feature like a TelePrompter for songs I sing. It can also be used for sheet music. I use the metronome for starting tempos. I use the recording feature where I occasionally listen to a sample of the song to help remember the intro and feel (I can't remember stuff anymore????). It's my most used app!!!

by Marco@Amore (USA) on 7/3/2015 (v.4.1.10)
There is no other app EVER that I've experienced that has such great tech support than SLM. Arlo's (creator) timely responses to my questions when I'm pinched for time and getting ready for a gig is worth choosing this app over any other. It's ability to custom layouts gives the artist an edge when in front of an audience. I've used the app for about a year now in my vocal gigs and Arlo still continues his same excellent service when I'm in need of an update on how something works OR ready to step it up to the next level and choose to utilize yet another of the many available tools in the app to serve my needs on stage. Arlo is definitely vested in the apps success. His frequent updates help to correct bugs as they arise. And he'll definitely take your feedback and make it work toward your advantage. He makes it happen. Not an "all talk, take your money, then no action" type of guy here!! This review is coming from someone who demands excellent customer service as I expect the same performance from myself as an artist. High standards is what I expect and you'll get it from Arlo as he stands by his product.
Great!!
by MrMtDew (USA) on 6/20/2015 (v.4.1.8)
When I first got this app, it really made my gig life so much easier and so organized. It has so many great options it feels like it was custom made just for me. Anything you want it to do, it seems like it already does. Then you quickly learn that the creator cares about your concerns and is constantly making the app better, seemingly just for the fun of it, cuz it's quite inexpensive for what it does. This latest update has a fix directly related to something I asked him about AND another update that once again improved my nightly gigs. Awesome, thanks!!
Incredible!
by amazedandconfused (USA) on 2/6/2015 (v.4.1.1)
After getting the hang of it, this app is just amazing! The depth of features for the price is unbelievable! The one-on-one customer support from the developer is the best I have encountered in 30 years of computing! I have NO idea how he does it but I'm glad he does! P.S. there is a slight learning curve but very reasonable in view if the feature set (which is phenomenal!) perhaps one glaring omission is there is no ability to quickly record a voice memo into the app at a rehearsal. As it stands, adding audio recordings is quite a clunky process that can only be achieved via iTunes. There's no audio memo function or dropbox or soundcloud integration. But this is a great App even if it is a work in progress!!! (voice memos were added in version 4.2)
Bravo!
by Moondreamer (USA) on 11/7/2014 (v.4.0.8)
I was trying to use another set list manager (Setlists) and was struggling with it. Wish I had found this first. It does everything I needed in a set list, but LOTS more. I bought the MIDI Data in-app purchase because I have a few MIDI devices, and now whenever I select my next song, all MIDI devices are set to the right program change, and even tempo (for delays, etc). I will even sync stuff to MIDI clock. Simply fantastic, and the developer supports the apps with frequent updates, and there is an active online forum. I was able to get my question answered there within hours (by the developer, even). Because it is so flexible, you will need to take some time to study how to best use the app. But it goes quickly, and everything is logical. I wouldn’t hesitate to get this … I can’t imagine a set list app being any better.
Brilliant!
by GKup (USA) on 10/26/2014 (v.4.0.8)
My search for the perfect set list app is over. This does absolutely EVERYTHING I need to get tempos, keys, lyrics, notes, it sends and receives MIDI, automates just about anything you could ever want. Do yourself a favor and buy this app. I am blown away by its sophistication compared to every other setlist type of application I've tried.
Fantastic app
by kev tyler (Spain) on 10/18/2014 (v.4.0.7)
This is brilliant app, all eventualities for live playback of backing tracks are allowed for. Auto stop auto play, remote control via air turn, midi etc, I have purchased all the upgrades, An Absolutely brilliant app, with many features, take the time to truly figure how feature intensive this app is before you compare it with anything else.
Incredible!!!
by Witward (USA) on 9/28/2014 (v.4.0.6)
This app is phenomenal! There really is nothing els that comes close. I use it in our worship services at church. It makes life so much easer. I love that its updated often with great enhancements. It does have a slight learning curve but after about 30 minutes tinkering with it it will all starts to make since. Couldn’t recommend this app more!
Extremely useful
by E2 (USA) on 8/27/2014 (v.4.0.5)
I use Set List Maker primarily as a tool to scroll lyrics for songs I only perform occasionally and to keep track of all the songs I know and what key they're in, capo position, etc. Rarely do I actually make up set lists. But for my purposes, the app works beautifully on my iPad. I can make the text whatever size I want and I can get to individual songs quickly and easily. The features you get with just the basic app make it a great investment. I have found that I can also print out an entire database of songs so the audience can peruse them in order to make requests. Set List Maker is an economical, efficient and productive app.
Review Update 4.x.x
by MoonDogSolo (USA) on 8/12/2014 (v.4.0.4)
I sympathize with those that got surprised by the 4.0 release…I was one of those. I take full responsibility for allowing auto-updates. I should have known better…especially when software like this is mission critical to gigging musicians. It really proves how powerful it is and the fact that it can take your show to another level which is what anyone considering buying this app needs to understand. This app is a ferrari….if you are used to a bike, you probably won’t be able to keep up. The functionality in 4.x.x is nothing short of amazing. The Tech Support is the best I have ever experienced and there is no better App out there for the express purpose of helping you with your show and your band. With every new release there are growing pains…its software. Those of you who are unhappy should really upgrade and grab a beer and spend some time with this…you won’t be sorry. I HIGHLY recommend this and as an Engineer and Musician I have utmost respect for the work Arlo has done. A+++ job your execution on this app….simply the best. Moon Dog.
Version 4 is Super
by skconc (Canada) on 7/15/2014 (v.4.0.3)
The new features in Ver. 4 looked scary after upgrading — take the time to check out the author’s tutorials. After 20 minutes on the Set List Maker website I put almost all of the new features to good use. Customized layouts are a great feature.
Great App
by Moms2bella (USA) on 7/10/2014 (v.4.0.2)
Been using Set List Maker since its release and its intuitive and feature rich for any musician. Its new customizable features allow you to remain focused on exactly what you need from the app without clutter. Developer really listens to his users is always providing meaningful improvements based on needs. This app delivers as advertised - not sure how we would would get along without it.
Top Drawer
by Ruckman65 (Australia) on 7/8/2014
I have been using SetList Maker for around two years now and was excited , yet wary, of the upgrade to version 4. I can happily report that the current version of SetList Maker is the most flexible and useable version of the program so far. It may seem daunting to the uninitiated but, with just a little perseverence, it is easy to see just how valuable this app can be to a gigging musician. I have got to say that the customer support is the best I have ever encountered. On top of that, SetList Maker is, without any doubt, the most significant app I have used on the iPad. It has literally changed my professional life for the better. Thank you for the app and thank you for the support. If I didn't already own an iPad, I would buy one just to use this app. In fact, that is exactly what my bandmate did!
Amazingly helpful - a gigging musicians must have app!
by Bate Bojko (Germany) on 7/4/2014 (4.1.10)
I have been using Set List Maker quite for a while now and it is amazing to see the developer constantly making the app better and better. And it's not only about all the extremely helpful features: Song management, lyrics and chords, embedded documents, MIDI, metronome, etc. what makes this app so unique is also the easy user interface and the unparalleled support by the developer - himself a gigging musician. The latest main version adds a bunch of new features, mainly an improved overall design and multiple, customizable layouts for viewing set list and song data during gigs and rehearsals. We'll done, Arlo! :-)
A great app for the stage
by Andepanande (Germany) on 6/11/2014 (v.3.4.5)
I've been using Set List Maker for quite some time in several and very different projects on stage (iPhone 3GS and iPad 2). From dance band to structured shows. The clear separation of the individual databases is the decisive factor for me. From midi light control and sound controls in one band to the distribution of set lists to FOH engineers on other projects. So far, no problems and very well thought out.
This app is the best!
by Aikifiddler (USA) on 4/30/2014 (v.3.4.5)
I have been a Set List Maker user for about 1 year to-date and it has come a long way in this time. The current version is brilliant, rock solid stable, works seamlessly with Bluetooth Hands Free Page Turning pedals. It does everything that I want it to do plus a whole lot more. It has to be the best Music Sheet and Set List Management tool available for iPad.
A must buy for weekend warriors
by rolandvg99 (Norway) on 4/14/2014 (v.3.4.5)
A real life saver: on a dark stage, at rehearsals and for keeping all your lyrics and chord related stuff. The MIDI functions are killer and let me control both my roland VG-99 and this app from the same floor board. Apps like this is what made me buy an iPad in the first place.
Amazing tool
by "big shoes" (Canada) on 2/15/2014 (v.3.4.5)
Can't say enough thanks for this ridiculously cool, easy to use and learn music tool. Been using it for about 8 months without one issue. If you are thinking about it don,t... Just do it now. Seriously .
Great app
by Jokers hill (Canada) on 2/10/2014 (v.3.4.5)
I am a keyboardist running 2 rigs. This app is not only great as a set maker, but the midi side is incredible. I would recommend this to any musician.
Set lists, backing tracks? I use it all the time!
by Maarten74 (Netherlands) on 2/7/2014 (v.3.4.5)
Great tool to manage all my set lists. Drag, drop & save. I also use the app as a player for my backing tracks. The scrolling lyrics feature is awesome.
With one of my other bands I connect a midi pedalboard (Behringer 1010) to scroll through the lyrics and pages. So now I can play the guitar and scroll using my feet.
Support is terrific as well. Lots of updates, bugfixes, new features and if you have a question, Arlo answers them as soon as possible.
Considering the small price: 5 stars!
Time-Saving Organizer!
by FredGardner (USA) on 2/2/2014 (v.3.4.5)
This is a seriously helpful program and I literally use it every day! When I think of a song I want to play, I Internet-search the chords and lyrics and drop them into my set list. This operation is very fast and it encourages me to add content to my set lists.
I have three distinct musical projects right now and everything I need for each of them is in its own database. Once in a while I copy a song from one database to another.
I use my iPad 1 on stage. The songs are set to scroll in the Perform mode and this is very useful. If required by the audience I can quickly change to an unplanned song. Also, if my iPad were to fail, I have the synced program on an iPod as a back up.
I was covering a song that has an orchestral prelude. I used a synth to replicate the orchestration to an mp3, then placed the mp3 in the set list song. When I Perform the song, the mp3 plays for about 30 seconds then I begin playing guitar as the orchestra fades... Very cool!
If you play solo or in a group and find organizing you songs, lyrics, and shows to be time-consuming and inefficient, this IS your program.
Once you start using Set List Maker you will quickly realize that the programs is much deeper than you first expect.
This is my favorite and most used iPad program! My thanks to the Developer!
Well thought out!
by Guitarry (USA) on 12/19/2013 (v.3.4.1)
There is only praise that can be dedicated to this app. For all it does the price is amazing. I use this to bring up lyrics, change the sounds on multiple hardware synths, play backing tracks, plan gig time lines, arrange set lists, notes. This app has never crashed on me unlike competitive apps. The new features are great. Logical Navigation! Features continue to be added. I use another set list app when I have to for lyrics projection to wall, otherwise this one is the best for most band purposes for me.
This is not a simple toy, it is a professionally designed tool which will aid you in your performance craft in many ways that may be required. If it doesn't do something now it probably will later as the app designer is amazingly responsive and actually listens to recommendations.
I find that even though it has deep features it is well thought out and does not require lots of time to figure out. The manual is clear to read. The app website is informative. Great app!
Unpaid Praise from happy user!
Update: This product continues to be refined, for those with Midi instruments playing live can be endless switching patches. It's nice to have set list maker take care of time consuming tasks. This is the Swiss Army knife of stage. With notes, lyrics, Auto song advancement feature. Too much to list. The help website for the app teaches well.
---
BTW, Before downloading, In-app purchases are always listed in its tab section, so I don't understand why anyone would say they were not informed of in-app. These are petty gripes for an outstanding application. Try it now, pay the few bucks for eternal bliss.
Superb
by Chris Kaye (Germany) on 12/23/2013 (v.3.4.1)
I am using a version 1 iPad (running on IOsys 5) which is hooked up to an Alesis IO Docking Station. What is really superb is the possibility to combine MIDI presets with MIDI raw data. By this, my keyboards are being set up exactly the way I need them before starting with the next title (i. e. setting the modulation wheel's level to the desired value while simultaneously lowering the expression pedal, so the strings won't overlay the epiano during the intro). And I love to run the app's audio output through the monitor speakers, so our drummer can pick up the exact beat by listening to the first strokes of the click track. Great piece of work.
Incredible!
by amazedandconfused (USA) on 12/13/2013 (v.3.4.1)
After getting the hang of it, this app is just amazing! The depth of features for the price is unbelievable! The one-on-one customer support from the developer is the best I have encountered in 30 years of computing! I have NO idea how he does it but I'm glad he does!
P.S. there is a slight learning curve but very reasonable in view if the feature set (which is phenomenal!)
Absolutely Fantastic
by RVR57 (USA) on 12/13/2013 (v.3.4.1)
A feature rich product! I've been using it in our band and it works perfectly. Set List Maker just keeps getting better with every update. We'd be lost without it!
1000% productivity increase
by Midisound Productions (USA) on 11/27/2013 (v.3.3.14)
This app revolutionized my live pianist/vocalist performances. No longer do I lug around several 3-ring binders of music and fumble through pages falling out as I try to find some song. The automated page turner in Perform mode prevents me from ripping out pages on the fly. I have already scanned in almost 400 songs, many of which I haven't played in decades. I can now instantly access any of these songs should I have any requests.
I've had this iPad & this app for only 7 months and I am already a much better performer. My lyrics (which I've always had trouble memorizing) and chords are all right there. My live repertoire has and is expanding exponentially.
I look forward to using the MIDI functions to sent messages to my digital piano and synth in order to change settings on the fly such as patch, tempo, controller and other messages. That way when I flip to a new song, all instruments and sequences are doing what they are supposed to do.
I am still just scratching the surface of where I'm going. This intuitive interface Arlo has developed is just the miracle I needed to advance my musical endeavors. Thank you.
Fantastic App and Stellar Support
by aptholly (USA) on 11/20/2013 (v.3.3.14)
This is an incredible bargain. You can tell that the developer either is a working musician or listens carefully to input from the user community. A couple of features require purchasing add ons like midi and document input support but it is WELL worth the minor charge. A complete IPAD package for managing set list, including lyrics, sending midi messages, and displaying notes, chords etc. in a live situation. It's quickly becoming an invaluable part of my stage set up.
Amazing!
by Peter Michelini (USA) on 9/19/2013 (v.3.3.10)
This app is well thought out. I've used this in performance many times on an ipad and it works great. To have all my lyrics in front of me and easy to move through is great. If you have a song with longer lyrics, you can set it begin slowly scrolling through the lyrics at a set interval of time - very adjustable. Also works with Airturn so you can trigger this by a foot pedal. A great feature I like as a guitarist is that it can send midi to another program. I use Jamup Pro for all my guitar effects. I have it set so that as soon as I select the next song, a preset from Jamup Pro is automatically selected. If I have other presets in the song, I use my 4-pedal airturn pedal to select them. There are too many features to talk about here, but just wanted to mention a few that are indispensable to me.
The developer is very responsive to questions and suggestions, and often comes out with new features.
This is a must-have for any musician.
Great App
by rdownton (Canada) on 5/8/2013 (v.3.3.6)
This is a great app for managing song lists and has become a critical part of my workflow for rehearsal, jamming and gigs. The support from Arlo is also first rate. I would very highly recommend this app for any musicians that need to keep track of set lists or just keep their listing of songs organized.
Wow
by Damian Erskine (USA) on 12/13/2013 (v.3.3.2)
This is a game changer. The amount of information that is storable and organizable here goes far beyond set-lists. This is one of the few apps out there that could only have been created by a musician or developer working closely with ACTUAL working musicians. This is how I make my living and this app just made my life better. That's what tech is supposed to do, right? awesome
An app that continues to improve
by Nickels4cbear (USA) on 2/20/2013 (v.3.2.3)
I have been giving this app 5 stars since I started using it about two years ago. It was a great app when it started, but it has evolved into something so useable and so fantastic that I wish I could give it 6 stars. It always had a lyric functionality (which I used all the time), but it was fairly limited. One of the latest updates has blown me away with how easy using live lyrics has become. It's awesome for keeping the band on the same page (we sync our set lists together) and its great for keeping my personal set lists separate from the band. The app has become so versatile that anyone who uses set lists will be able to get more than they thought they needed or even expected out of it.
Great tool!
by Funbroker (USA) on 2/6/2013 (v.3.2.2)
I've been using this app for over a year and I love it. Fantastic feature set for the money. They are constantly tweaking, improving and upgrading. Customer service is great too. I manage sets for four different musical projects and I'd be lost without this app. Get it.
Great app, great support
by Hans Jong (Netherlands) on 1/4/2013 (v.3.1.1)
Set List Maker is the best set list app out there, period. The developer is very open for suggestions, and the range of options within this app is supreme. The best!
Incredibly Intelligently Designed App
by Golfie the rabbit (USA) on 11/16/2012 (v.3.0.5)
I originally puchased this app for its basic setlist features but was amazed to find a wealth a features for managing my entire show. I have the app runnng on an iPod Touch at live shows using a Bluetooth footswitch to change songs and open lyrics. Each song change sends MIDI data to initiallize all our gear, including tempos, DMX lighting setups and more. I can broadcast my live setlist to other band members - or they can sync my data and run thier own. And at rehearsals, I have direct access to all our recordings for reference.
You can tell this app is written by someone who understands the needs of working musicians.
Awesome App and Support
by Okie6gun (USA) on 9/27/2012 (v.3.0.1)
This app does it all and then some... the ability to upgrade set lists with band members AUTOMATICALLY AND EFFORTLESSLY makes life grand. Attaching songs to your set list is great for practice. ("How did that intro start?") I take it on my iPad right on the stage and have access to notes, keys, lyrics, charts... whatever I choose to include. I dont use but half of its features but thats twice as much as any similar app. The developer is GREAT with his support as well. Get this app with no hesitation... you won't be disappointed.
This app is awesome
by Six String Picker (UK) on 9/17/2012 (v.3.0)
I have been a Set List Maker user for about 1 year to-date and it has come a long way in this time. The current version is brilliant, rock solid stable, works seamlessly with Bluetooth Hands Free Page Turning pedals. It does everything that I want it to do plus a whole lot more. It has to be the best Music Sheet and Set List Management tool available for iPad.
The developer is very helpful, listens to feedback and more importantly acts on any suggestions.
It is very intuative to use and is perfect in a live performance setting.
A "must have" tool for any musician irrespective of musical genre.
Very Cool App
by InfraEnginner (USA) on 6/27/2012 (v.2.2.6)
I have looked at a couple other solutions out there and by far this one is the easiest to use and provides all the functionality (and more) than I could have envisioned for a free app. I did purchase the little add-ins which I find both useful and reasonably priced given lack of alternatives. I would highly recommend this to other musicians with iPads.
I also contacted support with feedback and received a response within 10 minutes. Great response and great value!
Great app for musicians
by Sk8cate (USA) on 6/22/2012 (v.2.3.1)
Love, love, LOVE the new update with the smart lists, especially being able to organize songs by key. Brilliant. This is my favorite iPad app. It's revolutionized the way I prepare for and lead worship.
All bands need this!
by stephen pierce (USA) on 6/22/2012 (v.2.2.3)
This is an amazingly genius app. I find myself scrambling to make a set list each night because I usually am concerned with so many other things on show nights, but with this app I can actually have a drink and socialize in between sets. The color labeling option is perfect to help create a set that has diversity that isn't too abrupt. I use faster songs as red, mellow ones as green, and soulful or bluesy songs as purple, giving me the visualization of a spectrum and using that to have better flow each night. All bands should use this, it's lazy and impersonal to play the same set list every night.
The app comes with plenty of different ways for you to make notes and reminders for instrument changes, tuning changes, capo positions, lyrics, and anything else you need. It's as complex or as simple as you want it to be.
I have rarely written a review for apps nor felt the urge to do so, however this app deserves praise for being such a great idea. Plus when I emailed for suggestions, the creator actually read it...and emailed me back! Download it, and use it!
Great app
by Spiderz band (UK) on 6/21/2012 (v.2.3.1)
I can't recommend this enough, it's brilliant. Attaching PDF charts is very easy and works really well. I'm now connecting to a keyboard to send midi patch info so when I call up a chart, it also sets the keyboard to the correct sound. Saves so much time.
And, it's FREE. I would have paid for it.
Great app
by 13 for Life (USA) on 6/20/2012 (v.2.3.1)
Playing in a duo live and this app rocks! Everything in one place. We sync our set lists easily. Walks you through your set song by song. Developer said they were working on auto scroll feature - which will make app perfect in my eyes. Developer also quick to respond to comments. If you play out live and carry binders of lyrics, charts, and set lists.... You will love what this app can do for you.
Keeps getting better
by easybake4 (USA) on 6/18/2012 (v.2.3.1)
I use this live, MIDIed to my kb setup and it saves me a lot of time and effort between songs. Great app, very useful and feature-rich. And it gets better with the new update.
A great app, well worth the extras
by Andy Grant (UK) on 6/17/2012 (v.2.2.1)
I love this app, and the developer has clearly gone to lengths to listen to feedback for the community and enhance it. Great to be able to import from an iTunes playlist, and to email it out to band members etc. Nothing else like it on the app store, keep up the good work Arlo!
Brilliant App
by BrenU (Australia) on 6/9/2012 (v.2.3)
This app is Gold!!! & should be a must for all performing musicians.
Quite simply, the ability to organize and carry all my sets, recordings & charts together in a neat database is priceless!!!
I've sampled a few of the other offerings out there with regards to set/chart management software but Set List Maker is the best!
The features of Set List are powerful & almost never ending... It has been a joy to keep discovering what the app can actually do.
It works intuitively & just gets better with every update, the latest of which (2.3) has basically answered all of my wishes... I look forward to the future releases.
Great Work!!!!!
A must have app for musicians!
by Jeffrey Friend (USA) on 6/7/2012 (v.2.2.5)
I've been using another program (no longer supported) for a year or so, and dreaded the thought of trying to find an app that was as easy to use. I'm a drummer, and I just need to create set lists of songs with either a lyric sheet or a chart so I can remember the structure. So, when I saw this app, I thought I would give it a try.
One word... PERFECT. I create all my charts in Pages, save them as pdfs, and add them to the app using iTunes. Easy-as-pie. Not only does it do what I need easily, it also has a great metronome with a tap feature, that can be set for visual cue. You can also jot notes during a rehearsal for quick reminders. Did I mention that you can add recorded tracks to each song? Great for creating a timed mix of break music, or tracks for solo performance. The developer (Arlo) is quite responsive and has also created a number of videos on his site that show you all of the features quickly and clearly. You really owe it to yourself to give this app a try. It's very well thought out.
Great app for performing musicians
by Phowes (Canada) on 6/6/2012 (v.2.2.7)
The functionality that has been incorporated into this app is fantastic.
The developer must be a performing musician because the app is designed just the way you would want for a performance setting - and when you send suggestions they respond back very quickly, and then in the next upgrade you see them incorporated (if the suggestions were any good)
Highly recommended.
More than meets the eye!

As a working cover band we are forever trying to refine our setup and this app goes a long way to streamlining it. Originally wanting a simple setlist "compiler", we've since found this app to be much more powerful. Syncing our setlist with other band members is fantastic.
Arlo has been super responsive to any questions I've had and I highly recommend this app to any musician that wants to streamline their setup.
One of those apps that you wonder how you ever got along without

Obviously, this isn't an app that everyone has a need for. But for those of us who lead bands, it is truly a godsend - the sort of thing that really justifies having an iPad in the first place. In my case, I am an educator directing several different combos and a big band, plus my own personal projects. I use this app to track the pieces we are working on in rehearsal, to help prepare set lists for gigs, and then to act as my set list and metronome (already programmed with the right tempos) at the gig, plus my notes on who solos on what for talking to the audience, and even the charts themselves. I plan to also use this to help me plan the track listing for upcoming CD's, and I'm sure I'll find more uses as well.
The developer is extremely responsive about fixing bugs and adding features. So if you see older reviews from people who have had problems, you can absolutely bet those problems have been fixed - assuming they weren't just user error, which a lot of the reports in older reviews sound like to me.
