Description
SongBook+ allows you to manage your songs with lyrics and/or sheet music, playbacks, MIDI files, videos and to always have them at hand when performing. Besides, SongBook+ can control your MIDI devices or be controlled by MIDI.
SongBook+ is the stage-compatible app for musicians, which has won several positive reviews from inspired musicians. The app works on iPad and iPhone. Now we also have the SongBook+ for the Mac.
SongBook+ is free, but the basic version is limited to 1 book of 15 songs. If you wish, you can unlock the full version through In-App purchase to remove this restriction.

Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant
This is a great app. I would be lost without it. The support these guys give is second to none. The reply I received when needing support was above and beyond expectations. 5 stars from me.
Update forces purchase
This update deletes almost all of your information and forces a payment to get it back!
The problem is that avoiding an update is near impossible if you update all your apps at once as I did.
I purchased this app some time ago and don’t need the update but had to purchase it to get my info back on my iPhone, I expect I’ll have to pay again to get the info back on my iPad. A rip off having to pay 3 times for my own information!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for rating SongBook+, even if it is a bad rating.
Users that bought the full version more than 5 years ago should either not update anymore or have to buy the license again.
The app makes users aware of this after 4.5 years and it is also conspicuously stated in the AppStore description of each update.
The newly purchased license is valid for all devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac) of the same Apple ID. It may be necessary to run the "Restore in-app purchases" function once on the other devices.
Excellent value
This is an amazing app use it all the time.
