I looked at several similar programs before buying Songbook ChordPro and I’m glad I did. No advertising, no badgering for credit cards, no subscription, just a solid useful app. It’s not 100% perfect but better than the rest. Being able to show both guitar and piano chord diagrams was a big attraction. It takes a short while to realise that you have to add your own songs via text or ChordPro formatted files but that turns out to be a plus. A very large number of chord sites have files that are just wrong. You can find a reasonable version somewhere, copy and paste into Songbook and then edit the errors in the app.
Very Reliable since day one.

Songbook has definitely been my go to choice and I find it more easily than a few others. Importing and Exporting is simple once you know how to use it proper. For an Australian user, I find it very easy and more happier than ever I’ve been using. Plus with my other iPads I’ve got, my fellow users love using it while it’s be synced to the main one between the 3 iPads. I currently have 4 iPads to take with me and For my solo shows, I only take one with me. Songbook is my go to for my lyrics. Even for my own songwriting compatibility Songs I take. Would recommend it to anyone.
Really Great App

Had a problem recently where it was quitting soon after start up because I had some multi-page PDFs in the library that were causing a memory crash... but since I removed those files from my Dropbox everything seems to work fine again.This is a really great app, has terrific functionality. Love the easy editing, transposing, organising playlists, and live scrolling. I have over 700 songs and use this app all the time. It’d be good if the trashcan delete symbol wasn’t so close to the symbol for editing song order, I’ve accidentally hit that a few times when reordering playlists. There’s also sometimes a glitch when inputting chord symbols sometimes it forgets to close the square bracket and I have to do it manually... but generally the interface is really easy and great for fast edits. Really useful tab creating feature as well. Well recommended.
Developer Response
Could be caused by a faulty PDF in your song library. The new version 4.9.1 makes searching PDFs optional so should no longer crash.
