1. You need to work on stuff like being able to select multiple tunes to add to a playlist (instead of one by one?), sort tunes by latest (so you can find stuff you just added), remembering last folder you opened when importing, faster method to add all these books (it takes hours), etc etc..Several isssues with backing up to absolutly anything.
2. After several days of struggling to make the playlist function work, I finally figured it out with the help of tech support! So now this app does everything I hoped it would, and very well.
3. And when opening a chart I wish there was a quicker way of launching/stopping the metronome.For what is a database with thousands of entries, it needs serious work.
4. You have to start with all songs, and click on the icon with 4 dots followed by 4 lines.About the only thing wrong with this is a lack of a user manual or help function.
5. Check to see if the Fakebooks you need are there.You would think that it would be rather easy to change keys, but this app seems you down a rabbit hole just to transpose, and then it doesn't transpose the chart.
6. Jamming with your arrangements needs a lot of work.Hijacked download of pdf which i told browser to open, from the browser.
7. Having two pages up is fine but only if you've got a big tablet!I love this app for creating (and keeping) set lists for gigs thanks to the Playlists system.
8. Poor cloud support, a major must have, the download conversion of PDF files is clunky at best while it loads your device storage.
9. it would be great to be able to take a series of photos for a single piece of music rather than individual photos that then have to be manually renamed so the app links them.
10. The app has been updated regularly since I started using (around 2019) and chart editing has greatly improved.
11. it does not get 5 stars because when I upload sheets with more then one page the app won't let me transfer the entire song to a playlist.
