unrealBook - An Incredible App

I’ve been using this App for a couple of years now and I can’t say enough about it! It was referred to me by another Musician I play with who just raved about it...and once I purchased it I understood why. First and foremost, it allowed me to replace a 4” Ring Binder of Music with an iPad...so it’s way easier to access all of my Charts. In addition, there are so many great features...such as being able to create “Set Lists” from my Library of Charts, which meant no more flipping around through 4” of Music to find the next song. Also, the App allows for the use of a Bluetooth Pedal to facilitate “hands free” page turning. But the feature I like the best is being able to “link” an MP3 File of the Song I’m playing right to the PDF Chart so that I can access both Files from the same Page.

I’ve had to contact the developer (Aron Nelson) on two occasions...and I’ve received nothing short of “world class” Customer Service from him on both occasions.

If you are a Musician who does any playing at all by way of reading Charts / Music...you absolutely have to get this App.

Excellent App that I will never NOT use for music

This app has become a life saver for me as a musician. I have used it for teaching music as well as playing music in my band. The way to organize the charts, create set lists, and more is very handy and gets rid of all the paper I used to have to carry - or worse, try to remember it all!

If there was one thing I would ask the developers to please update or work on, it would be the note-taking feature. The writing is clunky and not smooth. I cannot write notes that produces legible words without jagged edges. I typically have to write one line of a letter at a time so as to avoid markings that do not fly all over the paper. Smooth writing that reflects exactly what I intend to write would be an excellent improvement!

Otherwise, a stellar app that I will continually use.

I have had my unrealBook since 2015. Prior to purchasing it I was like so many people who still struggle with books, lighting, and searching tediously for a song. I am using many features of this book. Of course the alphabetized songs, song lists, linking songs to PDFs, highlighting, adding text, indexes, recording, creating lyrics, etc. I play music with a kanikapila group and this is a tremendous asset. Most importantly, whenever I have difficulties with my indexes Aron has always responded quickly and was most helpful in fixing my problems. Thank you for a great tool and HELP.
