NOTE: We are no longer adding new features to Set List Maker. We recommend our newer product, BandHelper, for the latest design and functionality.
Set List Maker is a powerful organizational tool for musicians. With thousands of people around the world using the app in creative ways, the app is packed with features to manage your repertoire, control your on-stage electronics and share with your bandmates.
MORE THAN A DIGITAL SONGBOOK
Set List Maker can store your lyrics and chord charts, but it can also keep track of your rehearsal notes and serves as an archive of all your set lists. You can include multiple reference recordings for each song, slow down or pitch-shift recordings while practicing,* transpose chords with one touch, and make a quick recording if inspiration strikes.* Then design your own screen layouts to show the most important information in each setting you play in.
YOUR COMMAND CENTER ON STAGE
Set List Maker can display your lyrics with simple auto-scrolling or custom automation tracks,* play backing tracks and click tracks through separate audio ports or inter-app audio,* play videos,* and configure MIDI-compatible sound and lighting equipment as you move from song to song.* You can control Set List Maker with MIDI* or Bluetooth footswitches, and link together multiple devices for screen sharing or remote control on stage.*
KEEP YOUR BANDMATES IN THE LOOP
Set List Maker can can export databases and import them onto your bandmates' mobile devices so everyone has access to the latest songs, set lists, and details of upcoming shows. You can also email set lists in PDF or HTML format, or print good old paper set lists to keep it simple on stage.
Some advanced features (*) require an in-app purchase. For details, please visit the Set List Maker website, which also contains tutorials and demo videos to help with your purchase decision.

Switching to a different app

I can’t believe the developer killed the feature Cloud Device Sync to try and herd people over to Band Helper which is subscription based. Bait and switch much?? Why would I pay for Yet-Another subscription? Especially when the competition is a One-Buy-Own-It-All!! Soooooo lame. Musicians get screwed again.
Developer Response
The error-prone automatic sync was replaced with a more reliable manual sync, which is comparable to what other music apps offer. Seems unfair to call something "bait and switch" if it was phased out over many months with many announcements and multiple alternatives offered.
Almost perfect

I have been using this app for 10 years. it is a little bit complicated at first, but once you wrap your head around it, it is one of the best at what it does which is simplify the process of a gigging musician. One feature that would move this app to a league of its own is a simplified way of creating your songs/set list on a computer, then importing it to your pad/phone. A simple PC app that you could use for song/database creation would be amazing. Kudos to Arlo for this amazing software.
Developer Response
Our newer product, BandHelper, has a web interface that you can use to set up your data from a computer; then the data syncs automatically to your mobile devices.
Great with personal inconvenience

I’ve used this app for many years. It’s a powerful tool with so much to offer. However I’m annoyed with the latest update of unable to view notes without going into ‘shows’. Bring back the ability to access it from the home edit! This is a huge inconvenience for me I’m contemplating jumping ship.
