This app is not easy to learn and setup on android, but help is available if needed. It has most jazz fakebooks.
It has quit working several times. Slow when exporting set lists with pdf charts. IReal Pro is much better & easier to use.
Great app but would love better annotation tools
Tried on a brand new Fire 10 difficult to load and cannot get the pdfs to show. Forum and help email useless. $15 and at least 2 hours wasted. Was able to use a different app that played nicer with an android device
UPDATE - the only issue with this app is that I cannot use the SD card for data storage. I have 6Gb of data and it clogs up my tablet. Make this function available in the latest version and I will pay for it. I have copied and indexed 15 Real books in three keys so that I can have them to hand when gigging. Best still is that I can view two page charts on one screen as I replaced my ipad with a Samsung Notes Pro which has a 12.2 inch screen. It works so well.
This took a while to set up, but it is well worth it. There are a few things I would like to be more friendly, but it is fine the way it is. I had a problem with the program crashing because of a corrupt pdf. I got help from tech support quickly. After I sent them the corrupt pdf they made a fix to the program and distributed it the next day. Great service! I am very happy to leave my books on the shelf.
Overall it is a good app, but it has several limitations that I find annoying. You have to make and manage your library on their website, not the app. You also have to find the exact PDF of books they used for the index, you cannot alter it. But once the books are installed correctly, they work very well with indexing.
I have just downloaded and paid £11.95 for this app to my Lenovo tablet using 6.1. The app does not open - just a message 'unfortunately iGigBook has stopped'. The app is, however, shown as being compatible with my device. I noticed a message that on Android on versions of Android over 4 that the app requires access to storage and enable this in settings. Well the app is shown in storage and there is no specific 'access' option anyway. I cannot register on the forum as you need to do this via the app - a classic catch 22. Perhaps I am doing something wrong but I have no experience of downloading an and installing an app that just doesn't work. So at the moment can't really give a positive review. Reply still doesn't help as it requests that I switch off overlay in settings but iGigBooks is not listed to do it. Reply still doesn't help as it requests that I switch off overlay in settings but iGigBooks is not listed to do it. I've now deleted it and would like my account credited please.
The instructions for Android regarding building the library seems to be non-existent. The help pages on the website don't load. If you can't make this work for Android devices, don't sell it. Will gladly change my rating when it works.
Won't work with my Android tablet and iMac. Can't import pdf. They forgot to mention that, so I'll have to dispute the credit card charge. Doesn't work as advertised.
The app would not work with my android tablet, which is an Asus ZenPad. This wasted a lot of my time. The helpdesk were responsive but unapologetic.
Great app with 1st class support. With a little help from Phil Smith, I was able to build a custom index fairly quickly the first time using it. Nice to have all my scores organized. Definitely worth the $
Not user friendly
the setup and chart/score organizing can be a bit daunting at first, but once you figure it out, oh! what a tool! not only does it put your entire library at your fingertips, but you can virtually include whatever classical/pop music you can find online, making you prepared for any eventuality when you're out in the field. how many times have you been at your gig, chamber music jam, etc. and said, "next time i'll bring it along...?" igigbook gets you to the 21st century in a hurry. tech support is practically always live on the forum, so you get quick solutions and personal service. you'll love setting it up and fooling around with it, getting it up to speed and doing its versatile thing. i'll never leave home without it! igigbook is worth every penny!
I have iGigBook both for my Android device (Samsung Tab Pro 12.2 inch) and my iPad Pro. The program works wonderfully well on both, and the latest updates from the developer make it even better. Yes, there is a small learning curve to get all your fakebook pdfs to operate properly within the framework of the app, but once you are up and running you will be delighted. I play piano, bass and saxophones, and now I take one tablet to all gigs, instead of stacks and stacks of ancient and dog-eared fakebooks. I can instantly (a) find any song I am looking for from among dozens of fakebooks, and (b) put it in the right key for the instrument I am playing. I can, with extreme ease, create setlists and instantly share them via email (including a pdf file of all the charts!) with bandmates for upcoming gigs. This is the Holy Grail for jazz musicians.
Just installed this on Nexus 10. When I go to a song I've searched for, then try to go to another one in a pdf, it crashes. The indexing for my real books is of by 10s of pages. It is completely different between concert, Bb and Eb so that 'transposing' just takes you to another song. It actually muddles up pages of the real books! They are no longer in alphabetical order and some are missing (or have been moved). How can I get a refund????
come on fellas.....I'd love to be a flag waving advocate if I could JUST get in the door. I need info on editing the index files and how to make my own (rb1 5th). ur silly FAQ says if registration is unavailable to contact a board guy....which I can't do unless registered. edit: nevermind.I found where to register.....why not "welcome,read me first"?.... cripes. 2 stars and counting up I hope. EDIT:thanks for the response,I apologize for my snarky tone. I recommend that you change the book title to READ ME FIRST. and also put a line in the play store write up like "Start up information can be found in the READ ME FIRST book top left in the Book List". Lastly, I cant remember having seen a forum that allows unregistered users to post questions, you might consider mentioning that because the default behavior these daze is to look for" register here" on first visit to a forum. 3 stars. now if I can figure out how to import my own index file......EDIT AGAIN : Well, I'm now a flag waving advocate. 5 stars. It REALLY has a learning curve and a LOT of setup creating indexes for bulk upload ,but I must admit its worth the effort.
Great app! To have all this music at the tip of your fingers is amazing. Good customer service.
Must not be ready for Android. The sample file that is in the tutorial is not anywhere. The answer in the forum says I haven't scrolled down far enough. Give me a break! The free chord charts that transpose will show in my books but when you choose a song, the screen goes blank. It crashed when I installed my bill Evans fakebook. Galaxy tab 4
Not user friendly!
This is a nice app for indexing your music. You have to do some of the work yourself to index your own pdf files but once thats done you can find songs just by searching. Also to those its not working for: The latest Android 11 update made my books disappear. For a temp fix You have to connect to a computer and access android/data/ find the igig installation folder and copy books to that. Now it works!
