My Lyric Book App Reviews

i use this app w/my iPad @ every show as my "teleprompter". its very simple & straightforward and has been quite reliable...

I was looking for a "lyric book" replacement. This ones great! Youve got to be a bit computer savey to be able to format your lyrics the way you need them but I dont see this as too much of a challenge for most folks. The one caveat most musicians should be aware of (especially those Mac people who are still stuck on OS 10.6.8 and earlier) is that you cannot format through pages 09 because you cannot load pages 09 onto a Mac that dosent have OS 10.7 or later. This means that youll have to format your lyrics on your Pages app for ipad/iphone. Since I was taking preformatted lyrics from another program on my Mac this was somewhat time consuming. With that said, a great app which can only get better!

I love this app and its simplistic interface. However, they really need to add the ability to expand and or zoom in the images size within the program. Some of PDFs are smaller then we would like and the theres no current way to use the traditional ipad method of zooming in using my fingers on the screen.

I had no problems updating to iOS 7 on an iPad with this app. Id like to add that Ive used the app now for about three months, and I dont know how I ever got along without it!

Nice app, but when Im performing, people ask for my song list. I wish I could print a list from "All Songs". Im able to muddle through by creating a new list, then selecting every song from "All Songs" then select print. The font is HUGE and doesnt look printer friendly. Btw, Im using an iPad 2 and the only version I find is "My Lyrics for iPhone". Am I missing something?

It keeps getting better and better. Do everything you did on the computer and on paper but with ease all in one app. This is a must, no more bulky books and music stands, you will even look more professional. And to boot after the first set you want to rearrange some songs, cant do that on paper but you can with the lyric book, and stays in order, no more search for your stuff by flipping pages, just one finger flip and there it is. And learning stuff is easy, cause the original song is tied in with the lyrics. Rewind and fast forward need work but all and all I give it a100! So much more I could say, all good.

Im sure I will love this app if I find a way to scan a lot of my lyrics in. Is that possible? I have printed out lyrics over many years and Ive penned in my own notes like pitch changes and rests, etc. Is there a way to change the scanned format from jpg. to PDF? It would be great if one could make notes directly on the page while viewing it on his iPad like you can on snap chat. Thanks for any help

Just what I needed to store my lyrics! I use this app on stage, and I love that I can create lists to categorize my songs. I have some questions before I update to OS 7. Where can I find your contact info?

I have used this app for 2 years and loved it. Now the features to add songs to the set list are not functioning. There is no help available to address the problem. The developers site requests to email prior to leaving negative feedback, but theres no contact information. I have invested a lot of time in this and recommended the app to many others. What a letdown - I am now searching for another app and recommend that you do as well.

This has been a great go-to "best friend" for songs and set lists. Five stars for sure, until the most recent Pages update, which seems to have compatibility issues that result in blanks, hence the three-star rating. This is indeed sad news, because it was sooooo very easy! Yes, you can convert Pages documents to .pdfs and they will work just fine. I trust this will get handled sooner or later and it will be a five-star app again... Meanwhile - Pages users - convert to .pdf before importing your songs!

Now that Word is on iPad, it would be very easy to copy lyrics from the web, make them a doc and then put them into My Lyrics Book app all on my iPad. Is this soon going to be possible?? I have the first part done, but dont know how to get them into the app without having to go through my computer. Lyrics sites are usually where I get nasty computer bugs, so I had started looking up lyrics on my iPad, typing them into Word and then putting them on the iPad through iTunes. To be able to do all this on the iPad in mere minutes would be just too cool. Thanks!!!

I have been using this app for a couple of years. Today I tried to use it with iOS 8. It pops the keyboard up in the middle of the document so you cant get to the button that lets you play the song. Its unusable. I hope they get it fixed pretty quick.

Huge fan of this app until iOS8 came along. Pros: Some seem to find PDF creation to be tedious, and it is a good amount of work. But I like being able to format the lyrics how I want, add highlighting for quick visual cues, make columns, put two songs on one page, etc. I find PDFs to be a great format for lyrics. I like the set list feature for organizing lyrics into groups, etc. All the little functions are great! But the CONS: iOS8 has the app freaking out a bit. For me, the keyboard now pops up every time I open a lyric sheet. No Bueno!! I havent found other glitches but I dont use many other features often either. PLEASE repair this app ASAP and Ill revise my review to 5 stars!!

Unfortunately, since OS8 this app will not load songs into iTunes without corrupting the file. You will be forced to re-edit your word docs. I have 1000+ and the editing time required has made this app no longer very useful.

Good all around design and setup. Just what I was looking for. One problem is the inability to edit song lyrics within the app - you have to edit the pdf elsewhere, and import it into the app. Cant copy and paste lyrics into a new song.

Lyrics lose some of their formatting when imported. This app also needs to add in app editing and the ability to import via Dropbox

This app is a miserable failure. With a lot of work and research, I have managed to get a few hundred song lyrics imported, but they cannot be manipulated easily, and the icons described by the developer (i.e., add songs to an existing set list) don’t even exist. I’m still waiting for somebody to figure out how to make a functional, intuitive app for musicians to consolidate their lyrics and set lists on an iPad. Don’t waste your time or money on this junker.

Please take note and update the app. No really, It used to work with Pages docs, and now I have to save every single lyric sheet into PDF form to use the app. Documents created with Apple’s new Pages app are not compatible, and it’s been out for months! Designers have clearly “left the building” and I think I’m left holding the bag. When I think of the people to whom Ive recommended this app, I’m embarrassed.

If you use this App in its most basic form for Poetry or Song Lyrics like I do, youll love it. Its clean and organized. To earn 5 stars from me, thered have to be a fix; keeping the same formatting that Ive implemented in WORD--sometimes, it gets lost, i.e., the spacing(s) between the title verse go away when transferred which means (if I want it how I want it, aesthetically, then I have to tweak the document in WORD prior to transfer. And, if at first I dont succeed, then I try, try again. Its nice; itll suffice.

If you follow the directions and not try to just figure it out, its wonderful. This app has saved me. Easier to use ipad instead of music stand and its faster to switch songs than turning a page. Seriously, not understanding all these bad reviews. I am a Mac user. Thanks for this app!
