What’s New
Version 2024-10-02
• Fixed the search buttons on the song edit page and map buttons in event lists on iOS 18.
• Updated the auto-scroll function so if you manually scroll before starting auto-scroll, the speed is not recalculated unless Recalculate Speed If Overridden is on.
• Fixed a problem with chord alignment when the Chords field contains a line of non-chord text.
• Fixed a problem that expanded the left column to the full screen when switching to another app from the set list share pages.
• Added optional External Display Width and External Display Height fields to override the external screen size set by iOS in case that size is incorrect.
• Updated the Settings > Account Sync page to sync its changes immediately when saving.
Ratings and Reviews
Makes playing live a breeze!
I've been using BandHelper for several years now and I just cannot say enough about Arlo, the developer. His customer support is the absolute best. Nothing is perfect of course, and anytime I've had an issue (very rare) he is quick to reply and does his very best to help.
As for BandHelper, our band uses it to keep us organized. I can easily see a history of our gigs and setlists. Making setlists is a snap, very easy to do. And each member can follow the set list on stage via their mobile devices.
Our drummer uses a midi controller pad to select each song as we play the gig. Not only do all of our devices change as he selects the next song, but BandHelper is also sending midi commands to control our pedalboards and keyboards.
Very much more you can do! We're only scratching the surface.
Arlo is continually improving and updating BandHelper so you can be assured it is not going to whither away and die anytime soon.
If you play live, BandHelper is a fantastic tool!
Difficult Cancelation Process
You can't trail this complicated, mediocre program without signing up to a free trial, which starts charging you automatically after a 30 day period. Immediately I knew this was not an intuitive program and attempted to cancel the account. I had to spend 30 minutes trying to find a way to delete my account online. If you delete the app only, your account would remain active, which means you'll be charged after the trail. They buried the cancelation deep in their website. When I see tactics like this it makes my blood boil. If you're confident in your product, you don't play "gotcha" gimmicks.
Developer Response ,
A couple inaccuracies here: 1) We do not collect payment info when you register and do not start charging automatically after the trial. Your account will expire after 30 days unless you come back and make a payment. That's described on our home page, in our terms of use and in the confirmation email you received when you registered. 2) The account delete function is available on the Admin > Billing page of the website and the Help menu of the app, and unused trial accounts are deleted automatically after a year. None of this info is buried or hidden, and if you can't find something you can contact us.
