Can't print from app anymore. The app is awesome and I love that I don't have to bother anyone to change chords for my capo transpositions. However, for whatever reason I keep getting an error now that doesn't allow printing from the app. An error message displays saying, "No PDF printing app installed" when I actually have 2. Hopefully it's just a bug. That was literally one of my most used features.
This is a game changer for our church services. Amazing app, so easy to use and makes life so much easier for worship sets.
An absolutely spectacular app! It's very easy to use (even for those who aren't computer oriented), and is an excellent replacement for paper sheet music (but always keep any sheet music you already have, just in case you need it for reference or to share). You can type OR WRITE notes just like on paper sheet music (however, if you pull it up in another key, your notes will not carry over). You can also enlarge each song to make it easier to read.
Fantastic tool! Crucial to what we do. But there's an editing bug. I now cannot delete text in edit mode. Started working only sporadically, and now it's not working at all. When I select a text box and click "delete", nothing happens. The text stubbornly remains. Same problem on multiple songs from different service plans. Having the problem on multiple Samsung devices and RCA devices. All are running up-to-date versions of the app. That's unfortunate. Any new updates coming out soon?
*Edit: (2/21/21) After working with someone last week, we've got it working!!! Hoping it doesn't revert back to the issues.* This app has never been reliable for me, which is unfortunate as the app idea is great. About 75% of the time I get an error that says "An error has occured while getting data for music stand..." Yesterday I was on team and needed to transpose something and got the error message. This is another reason why I afraid to go digital on Sundays as I have numerous tech issues.
Just starting with it. Would live the whole team to use it, but on the phone it seems that if you are zoomed in you can't scroll around the current page. Also sometimes just pinching works and other times you have to hit zoom first. I am afraid people will just use their phones to pull lyrics from where ever as it doesn't feel intuitive. Also I am comparing to OnSong...here you can transpose chord charts from Songselect on the fly. How come there is no Songselect integration in the app?
Overall, a great app that works wonderfully at reducing paper output on Sunday morning. We don't need reading lights anymore either. The only reason I'm reducing a star is because the older version of the app used to be able to pull up all songs that were archived into previous schedules which was convenient. Now you can no longer do that and would need to search through every single one.
Great, except the ability to transpose on the fly is very hit and (mostly) miss. Most of the time the option does not show.
The interface will not go into view any of the songs. It was working great last night. I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet. Not sure what was in the update, but it no longer works. I removed it and reinstalled it and still no joy. : (
Solid workhorse of an app. Definitely worth the monthly subscription to be able to have all my services automatically sync my sheet music for Sundays. It's great to have the music on the iPad and the builtin metronome gets the job done.
I have used this app for years, with no issues at all! But the newest edition, however is not working properly on my Samsung. My sheet music will not update... Please fix right away.
Great app, only dislike is the very tiny drop down arrow to do quick key changes from the main screen. It's very difficult to hit without opening the song
I CANNOT read the sheet music on my phone!!! I cannot access the pdf sheet music so I can read it using a pdf app. I cannot read the sheet music in music stand because it is too small. I try to turn my phone on its side so I can zoom in, BUT this app does some weird split screen nonsense and rends the zoom illegible.
Love this so much!!! The only thing my worship team would love to see is the two column view option so our musicians wouldn't have to stop what they're doing to flip pages. However we love this so much!!!
I have been using this app for over four years, and it does exactly what I need it to do, and shows me the lyrics and chords I will be using. I like that the band can communicate through this app.
Crashes all the time and won't load songs in music stand properly. Pain in the neck. Looking for a different program.
I love the app on my phone, but a having trouble downloading it to my laptop. Cannot find the app in the app store.
Hi authorisation failed notifucation on Samsung tablet Works ok on pc." A problem was encountered while connecting ti planning centre online. Please verify internet connectivity and try again" Internet connected but continuous error message Help?
we use this for our worship band music and it is awsome BUT you have to download on a tablet or phone only. AND I NEED TO B E ABLE TO DOWNLOAD ON MY HOME PC, TOO
Well made. Best chord sheet/service scheduling app I've used. Effective and easy.
This was working great for years until several of our band members suddenly lost access to their accounts a few months ago and can't even create new ones.
LOVE Music Stand app. Quick question. Can you run the Android app with Chrome OS?
No connection to the internet after the latest update on my Samsung SCH-I925U tablet. Please help!!!
I love the Planning Center, it's so awesome and i can see what songs will be play for every Sunday.
Kinda annoying to use sometimes but much simpler than reading pdf files like I used to
This is a fantastic app. Have used it for a while. Now I can't open it in my tablet. What do I do now? Can't afford to buy another. Alex
No internet connection error after most recent update
fine, not working on my phone now , but its great on my ipad.
Best thing ever happened to worship sheets. Seriously!
Music Stand by Worship Extreme is FAR better, and free. This app is just awkward, on both desktop and Mobile. No easy way to change song verses to appear in one/two columns, no way to change size of the pdf font, none of the buttons have descriptions when you hover over them (so you just have to guess at what you're clicking on). I can't stress enough how easy this all is on Worship Extreme. Further, very disappointed by pricing. Everything for PlanningCenter is a money grab, not a ministry.
