5 ★ Paid version. Use it every day. Would be impossible to go without now I've got it well set up it's crazy useful.
3 ★ The idea of the app is great & it has lots of useful features. The dev is very dedicated to it; however, there are many frustrating things about it! Most changes lately seem to be for the worse & are real head-scratchers as to why he would change certain things to make them LESS user-friendly. I would still recommend it, but with the caveat that sometimes it's so frustrating that it doesn't seem worth it & you want to throw your tablet out the window! I'm not elderly or stupid, so it's not that!
5 ★ I'm a professional singer and have been using Band Helper for a few years to keep my database, play tracks and read lyrics. I can't insist enough on how useful it is to be able to add tags and colours to the songs. As tags I have genres and languages, and I use different color codes depending on how well I know the lyrics so I can be more or less confident leaving the stage and roaming with the audience. Fast editing on PC then sync to tablet. Brilliant!
5 ★ Updating my 2020 5-star review. Now 5+ stars! 😎 Outstanding features, functionality and support! If you just want the basic scrolling lyrics and chords, this is a slam dunk. But the feature set is so deep, I'm now using it to trigger midi patches on other devices, lighting, and sharing my screen with my bandmates so that we're all clearly on the same page. I've seen the other software out there, nothing comes close to Bandhelper. Arlo and his team hit it out of the park with this one!
5 ★ Amazing. Honestly don't know how I used to manage before I used band helper. Songs can take a little while to enter, but once you get the hang of it it's brilliant and we'll worth the investment of time. Hats off to the developers. They clearly understand the requirements of a gigging musician band.
5 ★ This app is absolutely a must have if you're in a band or playing gigs. The best in it's category
5 ★ Extremely helpful as a gigging musician. Packed with features that were clearly made by someone who knows what a gigging musician needs! Support is also top notch! I had a small issue this morning and by the afternoon a fix was already posted to the Google Play store!! Highly recommended!
2 ★ The app makes it impossible to add or edit lyrics. The colors never work like they should. Either they don't type out in the color I choose, or they do type out fine but once I hit save, they show up a bunch of different colors!
5 ★ Fantastic piece of software. I use it every day on stage, and it has become an indispensable part of my shows. Arlo, the developer, is very responsive, supportive, and patient.
2 ★ Not intuitive. I pasted all most lyrics into the web interface and nothing shows up on the app. Using the web interface doesnt work for a performance. I'm sticking with my Word Doc.
4 ★ The previous version crashed when opening sheet music. It's been resolved and it's a great way for the band to share music setlists.
5 ★ I just love this app. Does exactly what I hoped it would and more. Rock solid across all platforms and packed with useful functions for any performer.
2 ★ You can't even make an account from the app, you have to go to the website for that. Then on the website it states that this requires a subscription, would be great if you would mention that in the info here. The top features we already have with our Office 365 accounts so no need for this.
3 ★ It's ok. But a huge learning curve and far too many features for what I need. Interface looks really dated and messy.
5 ★ This is an amazing app. It covers the important areas of band management very well. It is complex, and you need to read the manual to get the most out of it, but it is pretty easy to use.
