This app is great! The no-auto bill trial is great to make sure you'll use it, but it's not much $ to subscribe anyway. You MUST set up your songs on PC though. I just do the Chords part, copying and pasting lyrics and chords together, click the [/C] button couple times to fix the brackets, and save. I'm glad this app exists. Wish the phone side of it was compatible with windows tablet too, but I understand the huge job that would be. for the guy that runs this.

Seemed promising as a way to do everything from my phone, but was really painful to try to set up, even as a tech head. I could not locate a MIDI Learn function for the app control, for example. Text was often cut off, the interface was not organized in a way that made sense to me, the Activity Log doesn't auto scroll so it just fills up and you can't see new events, ... just a thousand paper cuts killed my interest. I'm going to stick to running REAPER on a Microsoft Surface running Linux.

App works great as an all in one data center for my band. The UI can be a little confusing at times, but becomes very easy to use with practice. UI is the ONLY reason for 4 stars and not 5. Support is top notch as well. Had an issue with the schedule calendar not working so I wrote a help ticket for them. I was able to get in touch with support very quickly and they not only took responsibility for the bug, but had the problem fixed and deployed for me in less than 2 weeks.
