Excellent app. Use it all the time at gigs. Never had any issues. You should probably buy it, as you'll never need to haul a heavy real book to a gig again.

Review by Ellie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Version 1.80 - Mar 11, 2013

This is the app that makes my iPad worth the money! You can carry your PDF fakebooks on the iPad and have a searchable database of all the tunes in them - click on the title (and version) you want and the app takes you straight to the sheet music you are looking for! I'm a singer and I know people have said the transposable tunes are great for singers, but I find the most useful thing for singers is that you can take pictures (or do scans) of your charts (in your key), convert them to PDF & combine them as a book (in a different program) and index them as well so you can always have your book with you as well. I teach singing as well and it's totally useful to be able to just grab my iPad and run into the City with as many jazz charts as I like. They have all the common fakebooks indexed (and some of the not so popular ones too) or you can create an index (which will be searchable by song) of whatever obscure fakebooks you need to have. Technology has finally caught up with what I need and it's this amazing app. Warning: Like a lot of powerful programs, setting up can require some trial and error and looking at the instructions (provided via forums), but I got it down pretty quick. Probably my favourite app. I had some questions about set-up and was contacted via email in response within 24 hours. They were polite and informative.

Play thousands of songs in all keys. Thanks to iGigbooks if I have a show coming up I can email the other guys the set lists in the keys they need. Saves all kinds of writing and busy work. Ray Tabs

Once you figure out that you have to scan your fake/real books, and, if they are not in the list already, you'll have to index them, everything works just fine. It's great that you can find different versions of the same tune, so you can choose the one with the best changes. Or the biggest chord font size…:-)
Now, with the addition of transposable tunes, this app is perfect for note-reading musicians who have to find a piece instantly...
Thank you.

Review by Jazz Student 2000 - Version 1.77 - Dec 14, 2012

I just wanted to take a minute and share my positive experiences with iGigBook.

I did not have a problem going from 1.56 to 1.57

I went from 1.57 to 1.58 on 12/15/11 and played a Jazz gig that night successfully using iGigBook.

The new Jazz 1200 transposable charts index works perfectly.

Igigbook has changed the way I play chart reading gigs. I no longer have to carry around all those books :)

I just do a song search, choose what PDF book I want to use, and the song appears.

I am so happy that I found and use iGigBook!

If you have (say) 20 books in iGigBook and you want to see all versions of "Giant Steps", search by song and iGigBook will list them. I've already created an index of a book I received and the PDF lays in the index beautiful. Make no mistake, there are several other killer features in this app as well! No more carrying real books to gigs! Well worth the price! Now go learn Giant Steps!

Review by Tabasco_337 - Version 1.77 - Dec 8, 2012

I absolutely love this app. I wish the page turning was a little faster - it should cache in advance since I "probably" will go to the next or previous page all the time. And - I wish that the music publishers would make more books available as PDF. I'd rather pay for a high quality PDF than a low quality do-it-myself.

Otherwise : wow.

I don't see how musicians can do without this. First, it spares me lugging 4-5 thick tune books to every gig and allows me to cover a huge library of tunes the musicians or audience call out. Its got the melodies/heads as well as chords. And, it's an easy way to jump into the world of ipad/tablets for music.

"Up a notch" - ★★★★★

Review by Steven Gardner - Version 1.77 - Dec 1, 2012

The igig book app is one of the best things I have found.
I have three different formats I gig with- a single, duo, and a band. I use a holder on a mic stand with my iPad, and have all my sets and songs at my finger tips. -Way better than hauling around my big old three ring binder.
One of the coolest things about it is that I don't need a music stand or a light. I wouldn't even use that stuff for a band!
I get comments all the time on how cool this deal is.
No one else around where I live uses anything like this, and it truly sets me apart from my competition.
Try it, you'll love it!

This is the best music organizer I've ever had. The learning curve isn't too steep. If you can learn an instrument, you can learn this. A lot of thought was put into this app. Of course you need to get the PDF books on your own. Doesn't take too much effort. Easier than getting gigs. Thank you for making my music book life a dream.

"iGreat" - ★★★★★

Review by Bradster12 - Version 1.77 - Nov 29, 2012

Once you get this app up an running, it is fantastic. My band members are in awe, especially the old jazz guys that are fumbling with stacks of sheet music. I especially dig the 1200 Chord Charts that you can transpose on the spot which is especially smooth when you need to accommodate a horn player ( I play jazz guitar) It is fast and easy to search any Real Book standard within seconds! You have to be a bit tech-savy to get it up and running, but just read the Help files and search the blogs about this app and you are in business. As with nearly anything... RTFM! One request: Add more books so that I can sync the rest of my collection. I love this app and it is worth every cent that I paid for it. I can't imagine any cats wanting to get on stage or in a jam session without it.

"Once it is set up....." - ★★★★

Review by Darchtop - Version 1.77 - Nov 29, 2012

It's a great tool for the gigging musician and I love it and use it all the time. Finally....I can search for tunes quickly on the stand!

I get lots of people who come up just to see what's on the iPad.

I must mention that it is rather maddening to set up initially. I've helped several friends to set theirs up and it still takes me hours each time!

The resulting convenience makes up for the initial hassle, but the configuration process is not for the faint of heart!

Review by Drum-Bum-420 - Version 1.76 - Oct 15, 2012

This app has so far been amazing... once I figured it out. It does take some getting used to at first, but then after that it becomes really easy to use and load.

It comes preloaded with sheet music for several songs, this is a nice feature for some but useless for me. I play original music and write my own charts using the Nashville Number System. So once I removed the preloaded sheet music then it became the perfect app to store my charts and have access to them and be able to modify them quickly.

Loading your charts is easy but a bit time consuming. You can write your charts out on paper then scan them to your computer, load them into iTunes then transfer them to iGigBook. Or another method is to use a note pad app on your iPad for writing your charts. Then transfer your notes from your iPad to you computer, then iTunes, then iGigBook. I use and love this method. There are some great note pad apps out there for writing charts, be sure to check them out.

Once you have all your charts on your computer then becomes really fast to load and unload. I swap out the charts almost every gig depending on which artist I'm working for and I do it quickly.

To me this app is a must have and worth the money, not to mention a tax write off. ;)

Works great! Easy install, excellent online help forum, fast answers from emails. Great features for on-the-gig application. Set list feature, song and composer search are simple to use. Some minor problems with synching and one book crashes, I'm able to improvise and adapt my way around those very minor problems.
Use this app at least once a week on the gig. Bandleader e-mails the nights set lists and I import them right into igig My Scores. Only complaint I have is the set index doesn't come with the song pages. One improvement would be to include a song's number of pages. I try to avoid songs with multiple pages. I haven't purchased the page turning foot switch yet.
Highly recommend this app for all gigging musicians!

It took me a while to get it set up, but online support was excellent and it works really well. I had a bunch of fake books, and all of them turned out to be available as PDFs for use in iGigBook. Now I've got several thousand charts at my fingertips. Very cool tool, and I can leave my battered fake books at home

It's also very east to download files from IMSLP and other music score websites.

"Finally an app that makes life easier!!!" - ★★★★★

Review by David Lewis - Version 1.75 - Sep 28, 2012

There are a bunch of cool apps, but very few that actually fundamentally change how you do things. This app allows almost instant access to any piece of sheet music , without having to drag out books, scour PDF indexes, all the things that slow down the gig. As everyone says, it takes some jumping through hoops, especially if the PDFs being used are not complete. You may have to page through an entire PDF to find a missing page that is throwing off the index, but it is time worth spent. If you have a network connection, you can even use voice control to call up songs. Awesome.

"Nicely done!" - ★★★★★

Review by BrotherBass - Version 1.74 - Sep 28, 2012

If you're more musically and less technically inclined, there is a slight learning curve. But once you've gotten the hang of this app, you WILL love it. Take time and learn how to properly use the indexing features before you do anything else.

Very good app for a working musician. Takes a bit of time to set it up, but if you follow the good instructions on their forum once you have it set up it couldn't be easier to use. I had all my books and all my personal charts loaded in a matter of an hour.

As a working bassist I've used some other programs that were just changes, but frankly I can usually figure out changes anyway, I want the charts for the melodies if I don't know the song. I had all the charts in .pdf but it was clunky to pull up in iBooks. Can't wait for my next gig Friday because simply by typing a part of a word I can pull up a chart out of thousands in a matter of seconds. Great stuff!

"Finally a musician's program" - ★★★★

Review by burlingsturch - Version 1.72 - Jul 15, 2012

About 2 months a bought this program and not understanding how the program worked. The instructions were vague and (especially the 1200 transposable chords).

I have 3 PDF programs that can't do what this program do.
The good
A) downloading fake books 5 stars
B) adding songs and transposing them if necessary 5 stars.
C) finding the 1200 transposing songs 3 stars.
Suggestions
The fireman's jazz fake book's index isn't indexed correct.
Add the bass clef real books to your book list.
vol 2 bass clef real book kas some missing pages around page 340,

Review by GreyMike - Version 1.72 - Jul 13, 2012

OK, after many hours of work, I now have a solid working relationship with this app, and I can recommend it enthusiastically to any working players with a modicum of techno-chops. I now have 41 active indexes with 40 books present (waiting on #41 to arrive) and in working order, and it's clear to me that this is going to change my gig workflow forever.

My advice to anyone starting to work with this app is to read the Quick Start Guide, and all the "7 Steps" info and every link from that page before beginning.

Although there is a good deal of up-front work to do, it's no actual fault of the program, but the integrity of the data it's designed to manage. It's an amazing app and going forward will provide excellent service to working players who are willing to invest the time.

Many thanks to the developer, I am sure that this app will just keep getting better!

Not only does it keep my library in one place, it let me pack up my old music stand. My friends are quite impressed, I predict a good future for this product. I saw a guitar player last Sat. Night who was using an iPad, but the guitar pick spent a lot of time in his mouth, as he tried to quickly turn pages. You offshoot product -ipage turn- was very apparently something he has yet to see.

Review by NeilioU - Version 1.72 - Jun 26, 2012

I got this a few days before performing an outside gig … y'know, where the music paper ALWAYS catches the wind. I would have been happy with a quick PDF reader, but am glad I downloaded this app. Love the ease at finding songs, and making playlists … though need to get used to tapping instead of swiping (which shouldn't be a problem). I'll use this for every gig. All I need now is Velcro to attach it to my keyboard :).

The How To section of the iGigBook forum is a great help and spells it all out for you, if you can't get this app to work you must not be reading the help provided or taking advantage of the great tech support that the iGigBook folks provide.

Review by not_happy123 - Version 1.72 - Jun 18, 2012

iGigBook has been working really well for me. It does take a bit to figure out, especially the whole truncated name scheme. But once you figure that part out -wonderful!
I'd worked on my own indexes and once I figured it out, it works pretty easily.
I'd like to be able to send less than the minimum 50, but perhaps that will change.

Sharing the set lists (with PDFs) is really cool and a way to print for now (I hear a direct print is in the works)

Highly recommended!

Review by Qyhn6257 - Version 1.71 - Jun 11, 2012

Once you figure out that you have to scan your fake/real books, and, if they are not in the list already, you'll have to index them, everything works just fine. It's great that you can find different versions of the same tune, so you can choose the one with the best changes. Or the biggest chord font size…:-)
Now, with the addition of transposable tunes, this app is perfect for note-reading musicians who have to find a piece instantly...
Thank you.

Review by Evan Sands - Version 1.71 - Jun 10, 2012

Used it in a live gig. Had a set list together, and it was simple to use. I put several originals in a single PDF , made and imported an index. That process is a tad clunky, but it does work and now that I figured it out it's pretty straightforward. All in all a great tool (way better than binders, which I'm too disorganized to keep up.

This is a great AP. I had had no problems syncing fake books and I love the indexing and set list building options. The email set list feature is awesome. I use the on-line sync service and have not had a problem. I had to adjust the number of blank pages on a couple of the books I scanned, but I didn't have any problem figuring out how. I have about 12 complete books loaded now. Updated my review and added the 5th star now that you can add notes to each tune and program repeats, DS all Coda, etc.

"Has the potential to be best gig app ever, but improvement is needed on a few fronts" - ★★★★

Review by saxywaxy - Version 1.70 - Jun 1, 2012

This is 'the' gig app. There is no competition. I couldnt imagine going back to paper....and it also gives a significant advantage over other tablets or laptops that pull up music from pdfs. Once you load in pdf copies of any of the books it has indexed, and it links together all of them for easy mass search feature, or a simple browse. you can any tune you have can be up in seconds. If you have the pdf in different keys C/Eb/Bb, you can lump them all together to switch quickly, even in the middle of the song. Huge for people doubling on instruments, or trying to play it higher/lower for vocals.

The new annotation option is elegant but missing some important things, i expect this to improve quickly. You can highlight, erase, and write in performance notes though very nicely. Music notation stamps are lacking.

While its massive index makes the program indispensible, to be objective here, it is missing some useful things other music management programs have, and they are pretty important.

It IS still young though, and as such, many of those few missing features are promised to come . Once the later versions have these implemented, its a 5 star program that has everything.

PROS:
A growing list of indexes to popular (and less popular) fake books. THIS IS HUGE and unrivaled. This is why you buy this program.
Excellent support for Eb,Bb,and Bass clef versions!!!
Quickly create set lists for on gig use.
Basic annotation/highlighting that's very easy to use.
Fly between different versions of the same song to choose your favorite.
A transpose menu lets you switch to a different key of the same song, as long as you own a PDF in the other key.

CONS:
Program is a little rough around the edges in silly places, not the streamlined programming you get used to on a Mac, but improving
Developer needs to work on people skills...(has been a lot better in the last few months)
No decent crop feature. Would be nice when the screen is so small already.
No landscape mode. Sometimes getting closer is important.
No half page turns...booooooo....makes two pagers harder to time.
There are many unsupported books...nothing new getting added anytime soon apparently.
No one has formed a forum group to work on collecting unofficial indexes...

A really useful app - a lot of my fake books are now on it, and songs are easy to find, with the app searching quickly through all the books. With the set list function you can have everything you need set up for a gig, and you can put in notes too.

It has to be said that it takes a bit of setting up and there are some glitches as you go along, but when it's up and running it's terrific.

Review by Pat6401 - Version 1.78 - Jan 2, 2013

There are many reasons why this app shouldn't get 5 stars. The configuration interface is archaic, it really takes a good deal of efforts to get everything configured, the number of syncs a day are limited, there is some sort of timer slowing down the process to upload complete indexes slowing down the setup process considerably ... But once taken the effort to get everything set up properly this app does it's task brilliantly and all is forgiven. No more heavy fake books to carry around.
And if one day the interface can be improved, I'll happily give it 6 stars.

"Excellent" - ★★★★★

Review by evnoic - Version 1.78 - Dec 31, 2012

I downloaded the app to help me through a couple of festive gigs. Initially it required a little puzzle solving to link the indexing of the books to the ones I added to the app via iTunes. The secret is to rename the book you wish to add, so that it matches up with the name assigned to it on the iGigBook web page. I discovered this when I tried to add the free charts, from the US Jazz Studies offered as a free download. If memory serves me correctly, iGigBook 'Help' tells you to add the charts named 'Jazz 1200' to iTunes This is wrong and should be corrected. The correct procedure is to log in (register) through the app to the website via the settings tab, to the Content Manager. Go to page 4 and you will see the correct index code for the FREE charts.
Look for the FREE charts, listed as JAZZ CHORD CHARTS-TRANSPOSE under BOOK INDEX NAME, and the index (jazz1200p1) opposite, under BOOK INDEX CODE. YOUR DOWNLOADED FILE HAS TO BE RENAMED TO - jazz1200p1 or the index system in the app won't recognize the charts. This procedure of renaming has to be applied to any PDF charts you wish to add to the app in your iPad. The system works like a charm and the Transpose function is awesome. In addition to the Jazz Charts you also get the Holiday Charts. I don't have the iPhone version, but there might be similar problems.
These instructions should be supplied with the app and I find it incredible that the developers have omitted them. You can't seriously expect customers to rate your app if they find it impossible to use.
PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!!!!
I hope my rant is of use to anyone who needs it. Otherwise an amazing app and a steal at the price. Many thanks.

Excellent app can't moan about the price - which is considerably less than the price of one real book. Mismatched pages can easily be fixed by removing the blank pages some people include when creating the PDF- the app only works as well as the PDF s you give it! Set list is a really handy feature, page turning is a breeze , tap top /bottom of screen to go back/forwards. The book index is a little clunky to edit but is pretty comprehensive - pleasantly surprised to find the pat metheny songbook on there! Really big advantage over ireal app is having the dots there rather than just a set of changes - a must when its an unfamiliar tune - or you need to play the head! All in all the best there is out there at mo!

This is the one app that finally persuaded me to by an iPad.

This app is highly recommended if you already have PDFs of fake books and wish to organise them onto your iPad. Be warned there is a fair amount of work to do in the process, but in the end the ease of access and indexed reference to so much material will definitely change the way you work. I am a professional jazz musician and use this app every day, while my hard copy fake books stay in the cupboard. Publishers should start making legal, protected fake books in PDF form to keep up with the times!

iGig book is a great app - I have used it for several months now with my church music team not just in our own church but also out doing larger events including conference centres and even the local football stadium! It has worked really excellently and even allows you to drive an external monitor (or monitors if you use a video splitter) this has turned out to be very cool indeed :-)

Once set up on iTunes managing our library of music has become straightforward and gets way from scruffy bits of charts / scraps of paper.

That done......it's amazing. Organise set lists, browse by song of composer....email set lists WITH PDF CHARTS ATTACHED to band members.

If like me you've been using the iReal book app, you don't need me to tell you how useful that can be! Well, as a sax player this app is even more useful and all I need to do now is persuade my bass player to buy an iPad!

Tech support is first class and very quick. One slight issue was with the webpage control panel, Safari doesn't seem to support this too well but worked fine on Chrome.

Only negative is that it will put me off learning heads to standards because I will have them all in front of my on my iPad! Great app and well worth the £

"Excellent and unique" - ★★★★★

Review by piano lizzard - Version 1.72 - Jun 20, 2012

I am the envy of my gigging friends - particularly for jam sessions. Using the app requires some learning and even now I am slightly confused about "offset" settings but this is my fault for not spending time understanding how to fine-tune the app. Unique app for specific purpose of easy access to library of music PDF files (gig/real books). Now much improved with annotation/highlighting and up to the standard of other similar apps, but iGigBook still the only one-stop solution for live use.
Don't forget to press and hold for 2 secs to enter/exit edit mode - takes a bit of getting used to.

Review by No pressure - Version 1.70 - May 3, 2012

An excellent app which allows me to view my fakebooks on my iPad. It comes with ready indexes for most of them. The only thing stopping it from being five stars for me is the inability to create my own indices for my own music and also when I book mark a page it comes out in the general search as an orphaned index rather than referring to the actual PDF title. other than that, it is a must have and I have no regrets purchasing it - and neither will any of you who use fakebooks.

"very productive, a must for the gigging jazz musician" - ★★★★

Review by brockham music - Version 1.70 - May 2, 2012

yes, the website where the indexes are is "unconventional" in design and functionality and yes, sometimes the offset does not work exactly (though I think that is due to the way the fakebook PDF file was put together, rather than the app) on one book.

however, there's now no need to lug around a stack of books and no need to search through each one until you find the tune that's been called. Great app, well worth the cost, and I'm sure it will get better.

thanks for the new annotation capability!

"Use it now instead of lugging books" - ★★★★

Review by Ja33y - Version 1.60 - Feb 1, 2012

No longer lug my books around - now I've got it properly set up. Fiddly to set up initially and you do need to have the PDF books with all the pages in them. But once you have then all ok. That's why only four stars not five.

"Time consuming, but worth the effort!" - ★★★★★

Review by Ger Rees - Version 1.59 - Jan 18, 2012

This app saves me huge amounts of time and bother. It's a fantastic idea that's well implemented.
I use iReal b at gigs because it's easier to skim read chords than lead sheets, but iGigBook is ideal for gigging if you prefer to have the lead sheet!

The ability to search all twenty odd realbook's on my iPad for a tune rather than do it the old way (look in the index for each one individually) is so much easier and more convenient that it alone makes the app worth every penny...

But...

Don't expect to click "install" and be ready to gig.
Firstly you will need to spend an hour (or more) in google to find the realbook pdf's you need. (Not included in app.)
You also need to make sure they are named correctly.
(Full details on developer website.)
That said this app is well worth the setup time, if you're a jazz musician then this is a must have app for your iPad.

"Fantastic app for the gigging musician" - ★★★★★

Review by Chris Neill Music - Version 1.59 - Jan 17, 2012

This app is fantastic! As previous reviewers have said it isn't completely intuitive to set up and you need to supply the content (not difficult though if you know how to use Google …). If you are looking for "install and go" this isn't the app for you. But spend a bit of time setting it up and it is absolutely incredible.

"Great app" - ★★★★

Review by Pat6401 - Version 1.57 - Dec 8, 2011

Great app. Using it weekly when our band is playing. A bit cumbersome to set up, and can be a bit tricky to find all the books. But worth the hassle.

"Great App" - ★★★★★

Review by John_1310 - Version 1.55 - Nov 8, 2011

I downloaded the app a couple of months ago and had a couple of queries on it's use that I raised with the developer. These were answered quickly and comprehensively. Since then I have been adding music to the app so that I now have most of my collection loaded. I used the app at a gig for the first time last week and it was brilliant. There are a couple of features that I haven't mastered yet - like amending the indexing and using DC al coda option, but I know they are there. Everybody I have shown the app to is impressed - it's almost a marketing tool for the iPad for musicians! For the price it is really good value.

This is a brilliant app and just what I was looking for! I've loaded all 733 charts I've written on at and it works a dream. Would be amazing if they added an 'edit chart' section, maybe incorporate text and black sections out? But apart from that well worth the money!

Review by Mr Rockyoke - Version 1.42 - Jun 4, 2011

this is actually an awesome app for musicians!
i perform any number of 300 songs in an evening and its difficult to recall every chord! so this is perfect for storing chords and/or lyrics.
ive noticed many comments of 'rubbish, and no good', i think those comments are from people who didnt understand how to use the software.
on that note, thats my only complaint guys, its not the easiest or the most understandable instructions in the world!
other than that it does what it says on the box, and its awesome!
makers of this app, please take note tho' make the interface and the jargon simpler! you'll get better reviews i can assure you!

This is a must have app for a gigging or practising jazz muso.

almost instantly. You can also build sets out of them.

Finding tunes is virtually instant as opposed to other pdf music readers! There are still a few kinks here and there but no more than other readers I've used so far!
The app pays for itself with all the time you save!

It'd be great if you could input PDF's or even epub books from emails and maybe connect the iPhone page turner over wi-fi (this would most likely allow for a better, less fiddly connection experience!) I appreciate the amount of work that's gone into this so thanks!. (As an aside, this is the only App I've been able to find that allows page turning for books via a single switch on the iPhone. This is a useful feature for people with limited mobility, and is a possible alternative to expensive page turners or switch systems for devices like kindles!) :)

"Perfekte Notenverwaltung, erfordert aber Einarbeitung!" - ★★★★★

Review by Eagle_08 - Version 1.60 - Mar 1, 2012

Will man sich noch schnell für den selben Abend seinen Gig organisieren, sollte man wohl lieber auf die gewohnten Papiernoten zurückgreifen, aber wenn man sich die Zeit für die eingehende Beschäftigung mit der App nimmt, erweist sie sich als ausgesprochen durchdacht, flexibel, vielfältig und benutzerfreundlich. Ein Wochenende sollte man dafür schon opfern. Wer sich bezüglich der Anschaffung unsicher ist, findet im dazugehörenden Forum reichlich Information. Und weil es nicht oft genug gesagt werden kann: Die App stellt kein Notenmaterial zur Verfügung, sie organisiert es nur - und das nach meiner Ansicht perfekt!

"Great application that does what it promises" - ★★★★★

Review by simonstandaert - Version 1.71 - Jun 4, 2012

Hello,

I purchased the iGigBook today and am very happy with the result.
It takes a while (took me some 2 hours) to sync and rename all my books, adjust the page offset, get the 1200 songs for which iGigBook offers transposable chords, etc. but the result is wonderful. I can now search for a song and can immediately see the different versions I have in my real/fake books and add the ones i like to a setlist.
I love for instance that I can now switch between two versions of a song easily (for instance the same song in a new realbook and the real vocal book; i like to have lyrics for singing but like the ledgibility of the new real book more).

I doubted a while before purchasing the app because I saw on the iGigBook forum some people had troubles with the application.I am now very glad I bought it. It takes a bit of time to get everything set up but everything is explained on the forum and does work. And think of the time it saves me trying to look for the right version of a song during rehearsals or on stage.

I'll be off and create some setlists now :-).

Review by hans, brussels - Version 1.43 - Jun 11, 2011

Takes a while to configure, finding the correct books, check for missing pages but once they are linked to the database, life can be so simple !!! And its a very simple , but smart idea, linking a searchable database to the pages of unsearchable, scanned pdf's of the real- and fakebooks we all have.
An Ipad , and IGIG installed on it, a dream come true!!!! No more books to carry, and finding the tunes you want to play, just as you would want to, tap the name, and there they are.
Thanks

Review by UncleBenny1 - Version 1.78 - Jan 2, 2013

Igigbook has rescued me and my band from having to deal with and maintain a hundred paper charts. Between it and Dropbox, the whole job of managing our homemade charts has been greatly simplified. It also cuts down on onstage clutter - iPads on short mike stands look a lot better than big books on music stands and don't obscure the musicians nearly as much. The ability to index PDFs of selected published fake books is a bonus. I give it four stars instead of five due to its cumbersome online interface.

Review by saxdude251 - Version 1.75 - Sep 29, 2012

Today I finally indexed my fake books and I'm amazed at how fast the search feature works. I'm going to be using it on a gig tomorrow so I'll know better then. The transposing chord charts are a beautiful feature. I hope more will be added to that library. A snag I encountered was when I was trying to build a set list. I made my set list and the next time I opened it I only had two songs in it. I'm not sure what's going on there but that was annoying. However the speed of the search function makes the set list function moot.

The only complaint with the search function is that it doesn't seem to search my personal scores. I have to remember what charts are in the fake books and which ones I had to import individually.

Well worth the cost.

Review by ankhle - Version 1.74 - Sep 25, 2012

Very useful sheet music reader. Help is somewhat obscure not unlike most iNexpensive Apple Aps. You gotta pay big bucks if you want proper documentation. The use of the developer's server to load custom indices into the iPad does concern me a little. I would prefer to load directly using iTunes but let's hope the developer continues to support us users.

For the working musician, this is an excellent alternative to lugging around standard fake books, simple arrangements, even original sheet music.

Review by funk_in4 - Version 1.58 - Dec 19, 2011

I perform many gigs that require me to bring along a fake book, and the standard book in use is the Real Book. As any who use it can attest, it is not only extremely thick and unwieldy, it also tends to get very worn and difficult to use.
iGigBook has literally changed my gig preparation and made using fake charts on the bandstand incredibly easy and unbelievably efficient, both in terms of space needed for charts (I use an iPad) and how quickly charts can be accessed. There are dozens of indexes available for the app, and I have many of the fake books that are pre-indexed by the app writer. After loading all of the files into my iPad according to instructions, I am able to access any of the song files using multiple search formats, literally bringing charts to the screen within seconds of the song being called on the bandstand. I couldn't conceivably carry the 16 or 17 fake books that I own to a gig at one time, but now I can have them all at my fingertips. I haven't tried all of the feature of the app yet, but so far it has been amazingly useful and without a glitch. I'll update as I delve further into its capabilities.

Wow-well, after many months I am pleased to say that iGigBook has been amazing to have as a resource on every jazz date-and many R&B dates- that I have performed on. The updates have kept it very fresh and functional. Thanks for providing what has become the most useful app that I have in my iPad- great work!

Review by Bbad1 - Version 1.43 - Jul 30, 2011

While there is some significant effort involved with the initial setup, no other product on the market can do what this app can do, and that is index and provide the song you are looking for in seconds on a gig which includes the melody line, and lyrics. The ability to respond to any request immediately is also a plus. A fraction of the weight of my regular gig binder, back lit and easy to read..i'm never going back......great support from the developer if you have technical issues too.

Review by Mr Piano Boy - Version 1.72 - Jun 19, 2012

Tolle App! Die Verwaltung der eigenen Sheets mit den Setlisten geht sehr flüssig. Und die Funktionen wie Setlisten mit pdf Anhängen der Sheets per email schicken sind toll, ebenso die Notizen die man auf den Sheets hinzufügen kann. Bestes Feature: dass man dank den Real-Book-Indizes gezielt einzelne Titel aus den gängigen Real Books (so man diese als PDF vorliegen hat) suchen kann! Dass letzteres etwas umständlich einzurichten ist, ist richtig, aber das kann man der App bzw. ihren Entwicklern nun wirklich nicht vorhalten. Die App ist ganz einfach einzurichten wenn man nur eigenen selbst erstellte Sheets verwalten will. Die eigenen Realbooks ohne die Indizes zu nutzen ist auch leicht einzurichten, man kann dann nur nicht gezielt nach Stücken in diesen Büchern suchen. Wer das will, muss dann darauf achten und ggf. dafür sorgen, dass in den eigenen pdf-Realbooks alles stimmt, keine fehlenden Seiten etc. - das kann dann in der Tat etwas Arbeit machen, die sich aber lohnt!

Anregung: direkt aus der App drucken wäre noch toll, wenn man doch mal was auf Papier braucht. Aber auch so 5 Sterne!

I am grateful for the people who developed this app; I can finally use my iPad for gigs without hassles. It is easy to compile a set list (even though I hope there can be sub-set lists within a set, many people play a few sets a night) and rearrange them on the fly. Some pdf files have to have their page numbers offset again but it is not a big problem, except the Standards Real Book. For future upgrades, I hope it is easier to create a book index for own books.

Very good app it keep in order and quickly all the songs contained in the loads of books! if some initial problem occours It's due to the mess on the page order of some scanned reals available on web, it needs a lot of patience to reorganize the correct pages order.
Optima app per trovare velocemente tutte le canzoni contenute nei Real. I problemi iniziali sono dovuti solo al fatto che molti reals disponibili in rete sono stati scannerizzati non con l'ordine delle pagine corrette, occorre con pazienza rimettere le pagine a posto. C'e pure la possibilità di crearsi gli indici personalizzati! Veramente grande! Da non perdere! Ottimo acquisto!

索引と合わない場合のページ調整機能がもっと解りやすく平易になると更に良い。
フォーラムが充実して皆でかくふを投稿し合えば更に良いソフトとなるのではないか。

"Jazzmen's dream" - ★★★★★

Review by Tokyo Jazzy Dog - Version 1.32 - Jan 3, 2011

こんなコア向けなソフトがあったとは・・・と大笑いした挙句、実際に使ってみて感動。
JAZZ人、必携かも。

リアルブックを何冊も持ち歩く必要もなくなったし、
バンドへの連絡も楽になりました。
あとは本人の演奏スキルだけで、もう譜面のせいにはできないカンジで。

説明どおり、PDF譜面は他で入手する必要あり。

Review by ㅅㅅㅍ - Version 1.72 - Jul 23, 2012

It is awesome.

I'm not sure but I think the page for bluebossa newrealbook1 is not matched.

Anyway I like it.
Thank you

"Good for Jazz musicians" - ★★★★

Review by sososososoaring - Version 1.61 - Mar 4, 2012

Good idea. Jazz musicians who don't have to see more than one page per one tune it would be helpful: and it helps them with quick acess for various tunes with searching tools. Yet for those tunes with more than two pages long, even using iGigBook Remote, sometimes it's more useful using the other PDF tools which is possible to see two PDF pages on screen like Cloud PDF viewer. i'm using these two tools.

"Great!!!" - ★★★★★

Review by Dalkyun - Version 1.15 - Nov 13, 2010

I am jazz musician and educator. I got these lots of fakebooks, both hard copy and pdf files.
Whenever I prepare the music for the gig or classroom, finding the right one was usually so much time consuming and now this program made my life so much easier.
Easy to locate the tune by the name, composer, then I can compare several different version to use.
Developer seems to be hard-working to shape up the program. new update is great for the gig preparation.
Great Apps!!!

"werkt fantastisch" - ★★★★★

Review by JazzGang - Version 1.72 - Jul 27, 2012

Ongelooflijk goede zoek machine, werkt fantastisch!
Ik heb ondertussen een hele muziekbibliotheek in mijn iPad, en deze app weet precies wat en waar.
Sommige boeken lopen echter niet helemaal synchroon, maar de meeste hits zijn raak!

"iGigBook" - ★★★★

Review by Plgyhujikolpawsedrftgy - Version 1.72 - Jun 20, 2012

Een van de beste apps voor jazz muzikanten. Scheelt een hoop gesleep met real books. Soms een nadeel dat het iPad scherm kleiner is dan een A4 pagina.

"Update?" - ★★★★

Review by Phone gebruiker - Version 1.61 - Mar 3, 2012

Na de update kwam het niet verder meer dan het beginscherm
Is na herinstalleren opgelost
Prima app voor bladmuziek

"The best Realbook reader yet" - ★★★★

Review by MvanderG - Version 1.49 - Aug 25, 2011

Although the indexes take a little time to adjust, this is the best app ( I tried a least a dozen) for reading and playing from your digital fake and real books.
it is the only app that can subtract playlist including the PDFs from the songs on the playlist and then can be send by email.
The only real serious con is the fact that it does NOT supply LANDSCAPE MODE. So many musicians will not be able to use it without reading glasses.
Please developers complete your great job by adding landscape mode and my fifth star is yours.

"Great App" - ★★★★

"Raisin d'etre" - ★★★★★

Review by Casablanca Jazz - Version 1.59 - Dec 30, 2011

This app is the reason I bought an iPad. I have just put together my first set list and emailed it to the band, and everything worked just like it is supposed to. It was easy to load charts via iTunes. Once loaded it was quick to select charts into a set list for a gig, and slick emailing everything to band members when I had finished.

My set list was a mix of scanned charts and typed lyric/chord charts that I saved as PDFs.

I had been a bit worried about the screen size being a bit smaller than A4, but the clear bright screen compensated for that. Just make sure you don't use a small font size; I would recommend at least size 14 font. Courier works better than more modern fonts. Also, making chord names bold helps them stand out from the lyrics.

Although all of the above is sufficient for me to be delighted with this purchase, There are three things that haven't worked well. I am not sure whether this is because of limitations in the product or because I am new to it and just haven't learned what to do yet. These points are as follows:

1. I was delighted to find 1200 transposable charts were included with the app. However when I included some of these in a set list, they didn't email to band members. Maybe they don't save as true PDFs. If I could overcome this limitation it would greatly improve the value of the app.

2. Forming charts I loaded myself into different chart books is not particularly efficient. I am just selecting from charts in "my scores" at present. As I load more charts this will become less efficient. Also, I haven't worked out yet how to include charts in "my scores" in searches. I am not even sure if this is doable.

3. The charts always appear in alphabetical order in set lists. If they can be reordered into the order I want to play them I haven't learned how to do that yet.

Since the very moment I purchased iGigBook my iPad is nooo longer just a toy. I am musician so my iPad is my tool for performing. amazing.. Just think: you dont have to travel with tones of fake and real books. You just have iPad and still haveall these songs. I was spechless. Everything is working perfectly.

Review by Rumpukallu - Version 1.70 - May 3, 2012

No more "I dont have that song, I can't find that in my key". No more searching through all the worn and torn real and fakebooks to find where that song was and in the right key. Now you just point at "search song" and right on see what books have the song and what version. Just get iGigBook will you!

"Great!" - ★★★★

Review by Kleinelectric - Version 1.59 - Jan 31, 2012

This is such a great tool for a musician. I can really recommend it. Some really useful books are still missing, but will probably be on the list soon. Would get 5 stars if I could be able to read two pages in landscape view (pocket size) and if I could create my own folders. Buy!!!!

"Amazing!" - ★★★★★

Review by Krister P - Version 1.57 - Dec 12, 2011

This is the tool if you want to take charge over your exercising or just want to have a list of your favourite tunes without having to carry around a heavy weight all the time. I had some problems after updating but works again after reading FAQ's.
Thanks Krister

"Finaly it works very well!" - ★★★★

Review by TFJE - Version 1.55 - Nov 7, 2011

Hi,
I was not aware of that you had to buy pdf books at some other place. The app works (after some reading and testing) very well. I think it could be good if there could be some advice where to find these pdf books. I bought some books that I can't use with this app (half of them is ok and match the index iGigBook provide).
I also think you should be able to sync your books etc as many times you want (that's not the case today and it's frustrating that someone else decide that). In the start you need to practice and I spent a lot of time learning how to set up everything and make it work.
Overall it's a very strong and good program for music lovers!

Review by Esa Falkenroth - Version 1.38 - Apr 8, 2011

I made a mistake at installation but the staff at iGigBook were very helpful and quickly resolved the issue. The app works great. Saves a lot of time when looking up tunes. The FAQ mentions that the index may miss by a page or two, but I had no problems with that.
Recommended if you have a collection of music in pdf format.

Review by urazyjazzy - Version 1.61 - Mar 9, 2012

I would have rated 5 out of 5 if it would have let us edit the indexes. because I have a lot of books which has missing pages like the pages with the pictures. So indexes in the system are not working for me. Only way for me is to open the book in a pdf software on my pc and add pages so that it fits but it is such a husstle since you dont exactly know which pages are missing exactly:(
