Buggy app with iPad IOS 10 3 3 Constantly rebooting iPad to get keyboard to pop up Changes text of file names on import Will not recognize some keyboard characters Duplicates import files under different name Creates blank page files Difficult to set up with PageFlip Pedal Controller Intuitive rating is very poor and support topics not very helpful         Bugs with IOS 10 3 3 difficult set up with PageFlip I-10JAM
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 Ken S Los Angeles Area                     unrealBook An Incredible App Pi Thoughts
I have friends who have other electronic music books and have all kinds of issues with them not me This program hums along beautifully always doing what i want and need Really like it Two thumbs up                     Doesn t get any better than Unreal book Dancepancha
I learned of UnrealBook at a Dulcimer workshop and have used it since Combined with the larger screen IPad its ideal to store all the tabs involved instead of heavy bulky notebooks of music Also other members in my group use it and we are able to exchange music with ease I am still learning of the various features available The technical support system with this app makes it invaluable I recommend it highly                     Great for Dulcimer Music Dulcijane
I like the app but the all gray low contrast buttonless interface is sometimes frustrating to use Wish the appearance had more contrast and buttons that look like buttons for less thinking on the fly I much more enjoy using this app on my first generation iPad which is not expandable past iOS 5 and where the previous appearance of this app is much more intuitive and easier to use             Good app but sometimes frustrating interface Pittsburgh Andy
It s perfect for what i need when i m playing I can group my SONGS for what ever gig i m playimg I like the page turn when i m practicing at home But i want to get the air turn when i m playing some place i can turn the page with my foot so i dont have to stop on a super set Thanks UNREAL BOOK                     My music Longshorebiker
This is the best music reader app period The developer is clearly a working musician listens to his community and responds with very useful updates constantly All my musician friends use it thanks to me and love it too It has saved us a lot of confusion when performing on stage with music especially multi page complex pieces Having a single Master iPad and several Slave iPads is just brilliant For those that are using this app for 1st time highly recommend going through the Online Manual to see all the things this app can do after you have your initial workflow setup                     Best Music Reader App Period MarkusB47
Just got this app today told by a friend of mine that I m playing a gig with tomorrow Already imported all my PDF lyrics and have built and rearranged tomorrow s song list Was very easy and quick both to learn how and to do My ONLY complaint is Unreal Book is not available for android because my droid table is the one I m used to using when playing out so MAKE AN ANDROID VERSION and I ll happily buy it too But for now I guess I ll have to use my iPad for my band and when playing with friends at small bars coffee houses nursing homes and where ever else they ll hire me LOL Fantastic app                     Best song book for PDF lyrics DJF1954
We use this in our praise team at church I love it overall My zoom wont work and it doesn t work well horizontally you have to keep it vertical for it to use all the functions It s easy to down load any PDF file and we send each other stuff all the time through emails and just save to unreal books It works very well playing my music from my iPad too so I can listen to the song at the same time Except for those few changes I love it And so does our whole praise team                     Praise team Sandy1486
PROS No problem loading and displaying large files such as a RealBook I LOVE the bookmarks feature which allows you to select a specific page within a PDF such as a single song in a RealBook and creates a brand new song entry in the master list for that specific song It will skip right to that page without any need for skipping ahead and even allows you to place that in a set list Very useful for large PDFs with no index Speaking of indexes you can create indexes with unrealBook CONS support for AirTurn pedals is quite limited and doesn t work with hotspots such as for DS and Codas UPDATE AirTurn DOES work though no options for more than two pedals available or easy to find BUG in Landscape mode half page scrolling is skipping sections For example going from bottom of a page rather than jumping to top of next page it skips to bottom of next page instead Please fix I have to use forScore until this is addressed                 Very functional but needs to improve aesthetics The Brown Baron
So far I ve found nothing it doesn t do well                     Great App Bill252842
I use this app with a collection of jazz fakebooks Once I learned how to create and troubleshoot index files it became the easiest way to store my sheet music collection and to quickly find a song It simply works and it works simply                     Versatile easy to learn philflood
Real book has been the go to for our small church worship team I love the flexibility and the image ability of the program to help tie our team together The printing capability is awesome I do wish the writing symbol would come up easier and stay between pages when I have to edit a song Also that the plus sign at the bottom of the page would stay on so I can easily add songs I am the keyboardist and notating is very important for me Gathering all my songs in one place from CCLI is great                     Worship with the help of real book Kidmin girl
All in all a pretty good program It has something of a learning curve which is challenging I would love to see the culvers put in an option to rotate the music Sometimes you have to go back to Acrobat in order to rotate it and re download it Would be wonderful to be able to do that from within the application                 Some challenges Rabbi Cy
This is a must have program if you are a musician fumbling with the old music books and charts You scan in your charts and they are at your fingertips easily accessible It s similar to how the iPod organized your music library don t hesitate get organized today Also if you need any tech advice Aron the developer answered my questions in a helpful and timely way                     Must have for musicians Craigskel
Beautifully organizes all my charts allows me to control other iPads from a master iPad NO OTHER APP ALLOWS THIS to my knowledge Have used it on gig with my band calling up charts and turning pages on several iPads Organizes into lists for easy access to charts for different bands I will be using this app for years to come                     Works as advertised None of your business34567
I hate this app it doesn t let me download any music on here I wanted something that organizes my music and instead I got another iTunes I want my money back     Worst app ever Nikkistarfish
I use this app every week at church to lead worship It s simple to import a PDF in and then use a foot pedal to turn pages hands free Couldn t ask for anything else                     Perfect for me helenboy
I love this app but one drawback is not being able to print the songs I would give it 5 stars if this problem is corrected in future updates I use the app for all my dulcimer songs                     Great app Cajundulciman
My entire keyboard rig is controlled from the simple act of calling up a chart in unrealBook As I am the musical director for many different acts a choir director and church musician the Play List feature is invaluable The developer is very responsive to update features and that s rare in the app world Highly recommended                     Can t Live Without It Cnm01
unrealBook is a good tool to use to organize sheet music once you determine how to navigate thru functions it works Needs better annotation tools for marking up notes and adding text on the fly when using for rehearsal I like forScore better Out of 3 sheet music apps I use 1 forScore good annotation tools good set list file and attribute organization metronome interface 2 unRealBook see above 3 DeepDish Gigbook kinda clumsy and slow             Decent sheet music app JamnJP
I adopted an under used original iPad to hold the music for several organizations I play with There might be another solution that works with iOS 5 1 or earlier that can support an original AirTurn pedal but I don t know about it Fortunately I don t need to know From scanned music pages of 200 300 dpi black and white to save storage space I have hundreds of pages available I can build set lists for each of the organizations so that I can see only what I need for a single performance Where the scanned work has more pages in the PDF file than I need I can configure a bookmark to show only a range of pages when moving to that piece in the set list You can reorder the set list any time or make a new one at a moment s notice It has ways to enter rehearsal notes in a page without affecting the original file The only gripe I have is an occasional crash can occur if I zoom in too far to enter my notes With the recent update it s more stable than before There are many more features that I can actually use now since the update It s inexpensive for the features you get I recommend it                 The best tool available for iPad v1 users Waltreid
Amazing for jazzmen you just have to put your realbooks pdf and the lists that you can find on the Unrealbook website with iTunes and you will be able to search standards and get the score in one second                     AMAZING app Buy it S'hqdvfkhskdvbksh
Not the easiest app to master but if you put in the time you can see and use it s powerful features Link lyrics and or music notation to ITune files for easy practice and make set lists for on stage features seem endless                     Must have for band files Don130
Haven t gone too deep as I just purchased this app but it s setup was much easier than its competitors importing of PDFs while you still have to use your PC to import them hence the 4 star rating was relatively simple with iTunes The menu bar is also a nice simple accessible layout                 Nice simple so far SoulJahCG
What it does which really is just organize PDFs it does well However the UI is dated and poorly organized You ll figure it out but it could be better My biggest complaint is the means of getting PDFs into the app Requiring iTunes sync was fine five years ago but not anymore Go to your computer download the PDF drag and drop to iTunes sync your device and it shows up Lots of ceremony when I d really like to just give it URL or use a Safari extension Would I recommend it Sure but it sure has a knocked it out in a weekend look to it             Good functionality abysmal UI MikeStew
The instructions on how to get ANYTHING in to this app are not helpful I have tried on numerous occasions to import music I already have into it and have only been successful by accident It is extremely frustrating and so because of this I cannot use it at all     Very user unfriendly zzCAnap1537
I have been using Unrealbook for the last couple of years and it is such a luxury for multi page charts I recently upgraded to an iPad Pro and the extra size is all I could have hoped for and more My experience with support from Aron could not be any better he promptly helped resolve a technical issue with a Bluetooth pedal The app is invaluable to me and I have converted several fellow musicians to Unrealbook after they see it in action Thank you Aron for a great product                     Now a Vital Tool Emmett Ray
Have used it the last three years as choir director of my church Also am using it in a choral group I belong to I am able to keep the two separate with the list feature plus plan my weekly lists for church services Don t know what I would do without it I find it easy to learn highlight make notes check tempo even record and play back I would recommend it for any musician who is playing or singing in a group groups and has a lot of music to keep track of                     Absolutely love it no1rebafan
There s a help system and you ll need it to find things that should be intuitively findable because of the cutesy menu names and structures that show poor organization It s powerful and useful but there should not need to be a steep learning curve to use what is essentially a pdf viewer If I could change one thing I would add a setting to allow full screen view and utilize instead of waste all the available real estate Kudos on being the only decent 2 up side by side page swipe app I ve been able to find Very good Haven t had any luck recently with my Pageflip Firefly but I m assuming that s still some OS9 issue             Good but menus are abysmal Thistledowne
Great app to keep your off sheet music in User interface isn t perfect but easy to learn Great for the price                     Nice sheet music filing system LefttenantRight
I have been using unrealBook for the last four years in addition I am using a PageFlip Cicada bluetooth pedal to turn the pages of my charts in unrealBook hands free Aron the developer is very helpful and answers the questions personally and promptly He is super professional and has helped me out many times when I got stuck Two thumbs up for this great app and the support                     Awesome Tool For Musicians Slomodrummer
Your program has made it possible for me to continue to read make music Im a 76 yr old retired music teacher with vision problems I perform in a Band direct a Bell choir and sing in a vocal choir The recording rehearsal feature is very helpful              Very Useful For Macular Degeneration
This has replaced two 3 binders of music I can organize a set list in minutes and search for songs requested in seconds Now if I could only get my lead singer to get an ipad so we dont have to be so close on stage                 Best for gigs
Great program that eliminated the stack of charts and real books Made it super easy to always have everything on hand And more importantly made it easy to find and use charts in a live setting                 Super convenient solution to charts live
I use this app everyday It has been very valuable for me                 UnReal Book
Good for basic music reading Pretty difficult to use if you dont have a foot switch and you need to play music with quick page turns The two page up landscape mode is too small obviously User interface can be confusing           Not a bad app
Excellent feature set and Aron is very responsive to support requests he solved a problem for me within two days in time for my gig that weekend 1 Enhancement request full Virtual MIDI support Current version can send MIDI commands to external devices but not to other apps like soft synths When I use a PageFlip pedal to advance to the next song I want program change messages sent to iMidiPatchBay so the right sounds will be loaded for that song automatically Hoping this feature gets added in a future version Keep up the good work Aron                 solid app VERY responsive dev
This app is such a great tool for gigging musicians It saves one from lugging a lot of 3 ring binders to the gig The support from the software developer Aron Nelson is outstanding He even answers my personal emails on a Sunday                 Great tool for gigging musicians
This is a wonderful app from Aron Nelson If you play in a band or multiple bands and need to keep all your charts in a simple organized program this one is very simple to use and does everything I need it to Scan all charts into separate pdf files and then add them into unRealBook right through iTunes Once theyre into the app you can group them into song lists IE Ballads or make set lists where you put your charts in the order you want and then you can flip through them onstage either by tapping the screen or using a wireless foot controller I use iRig for that which works flawlessly with UnrealBook You can also write notes on the fly circle or highlight specific passages on the page IE Repeat Chorus here etc There are other similar programs but I think what makes this one truly worth the money is the support from Aron Not only has he incorporated my suggestions into the program but he has also tirelessly helped me whenever I had a question about how to do something Most recently he was invaluable in helping me solve a bug when I upgraged to iOs8 Moral of the story scan your charts at no higher than 150dpi and youll be good to go I cant say enough great things about UnRealBook Ive used it on hundreds of gigs and it has never let me down Buy it                 Fantastic app A must for any working musician
Love the ease of taking all your music with you everywhere you go on your iPad and being able to change songs turn pages and keep everyone else on the same page with a AirTurn pedal We really love unrealBook                 Excellent app For singers musicians
Great app for displaying lyrics and sheet music Very versatile and also very deep There is a lot you can do with this program Aron Nelson is a working musician and is very responsive to questions I recommend this program to everyone                 Unreal book is well unreal
THIS APP IS THE BOMB SUPER COOL AND EASY TO USE THANK YOU DUDES                 SWEEEET
Love it I hate fumbling with binders I hate creating sets by pulling pages from 8 different binders and then filing them all back after the gig This app makes that a thing of the past Love being able to say let me see if I have that spontaneously Love how the developer emailed me back personally when I had a question or problem Bravo                 Unreal
This is a great app It even works with iPad first generation which I still have No glitches no crashes Buy it                 Love this app
This is my go to app I can put hotspots to flip multiple pages create word charts then link them with backing tracks create set lists very easy to work with super user friendly great job Well done                 Great App for the working musician
Excellent App              Excellent
Ive used Unrealbook for over a year Nothing compares Love it                 Great App
I loaded up all of my Real Books and scanned in my loose charts then exported individual charts that my band plays from the RBs into a set list I gave it 4 stars not 5 because the GUI is a little funky              Just what I have been looking for
This app was very easy for me to learn Its great having my music in one place and eliminating all the mess of papers There are many options I have yet to even explore I would highly recommend this app                 Easy and convenient
I am a professional musician and teacher and now all of the music that I need is right inside my iPad Its easy to create a set list for each gig then sort it however you like During rehearsals it is easy to add edits or rehearsal marks Cant imagine ever doing without it                 Unreal book is great
I needed a app for my Ipad mini to use during our praise and worship time Something that allowed me to easily use and set up separate sets for Sunday and other days This app works and also backs up well to the cloud or your PC Once you get this app you will know it is money well spent                 It works and more
This app allows you to organize all those bootleg PDFs of the real book and other fake books and easily retrieve them on a gig It actually can organize any library of PDFs files not just music and also makes it really easy to add new individual charts even handwritten ones                 Excellent music organizer
Really love this app If youre a musician playing a lot of gigs its one of the best on the market                 My go to app for live gigs
When I first got this app it wouldnt go through the set I put together now it does instructions are quite clear if read carefully I like this app for the money it is worth it Thank you Cant think of any major complaint              Buggy but working
Its very easy to import PDFs into it add notes organize lists etc My messy notebook is replaced by my iPad                 It works well lots of features
Its a great app especially having my lyrics all in one place and very accessible Im still learning how to use it and have and record in it but that will come with use I highly recommend it for anyone who has a number of lyrics or documents that you need but dont want the clutter to keep up with                 Learning curve
I love this app Very useful for rehearsals and gigs                 Wonderful app
Haven been using it every gig for a couple of years gotten most use out of it from any app Ive bought                 Love this app
Have found this app to be incredibly useful You can add Any number of real books and have thousands of tunes one touch away Ive been adding all the original music people send via email and then bring the iPad to the gig Indexes make it easy to separate music for different bands and easy to find when you need it It has changed the way I practice and made for less stress on the gig five stars                 This Changes Everything
As a replacement for paper and a PDF manager this app gets the job done Ive been using it nonstop for two years My criticism is the clunky menubased UI Given the state of touchbased interfaces on advanced mobile devices this app could use a complete redesign              It does the job UI needs improvement
The clutter of carrying countless folders and copies of sheet music has been eliminated Very useful app and highly recommended Still slowly exploring other uses and features of this app But primarily use for music charts for live performances and rehearsals Amazing how technology can sometimes enhance our livelihood                 Much Appreciated App
UnrealBook is probably the most wellconceived and wellimplemented app I use When researching apps for charts and lyrics I was struck by how intuitive this one was It was obviously designed by a working musician The developer has always been quick to respond to any issues Ive had and he has usually been at least one step ahead of me Thank you for caring and thank you for creating such a usable tool                 What a great app
This is a wonderful and easy way to keep lots of songs and different set lists organized It makes my musical life one heckuva lot easier First rate support too                 Cant do without it
This app is great Instead of carrying around 50 pounds of music to gigs I can walk in with my iPad Its easy to prepare set lists and I like that I can pinch out to make notes so that theyre legible later Hot spots are great for DSs codas repeats when you get accustomed to touching them in the right spot Paired with a pageturning pedal this is a dream come true              Wish I had invented this
Still a great app Aron is the best online support I have ever experienced                 unreal book
I dont pay for appsjust dont But the UnRealBook has been worth every penny Ive been a musician much of my life but a couple years ago learned to play the mountain dulcimer Id hate to have to carry around all those bags of 3binders full of music Having UnRealBook on my IPad makes it so easy I should get a commission off the number of friends family who have purchased UnRealBook from my recommendation I love the ease of making set lists sets of double page songs songs to learn songs to teach my granddaughter who is learning to play the dulcimer I love having separate lists based on who the composers are or lists of hymns or lists that require capo 1 capo 2 whatever If I dont have someone to play with Ive even recorded myself playing a harmony to a song then play it back while I play the melody                 Great App
Unreal book is my onstage in the recording studio and rehearsal lifeline Without it Im lost The simplistic ease of use makes this the most valuable tool in my arsenal And Arons continued prompt and reliable support is just simply the best Further having performed over 300 shows per year for the past several years Ive never encountered any problem hiccup or issue when gigging Rate this app 100 stars Thank you                 unrealBook is the real deal indeed
Great app I use it all the time Makes my life so much easier Aloha                 808 Flute
I would definitely improve the direct email sending Otherwise still wonderful                 Still extremely useful
App seems solid A few glitches here and there but theyre probably due to how I set things up Theres definitely a learning curve with the his app and setup does require putting some time aside and working with spreadsheets if youre serious about it and using large PDF files I wish the developer posted more indexes or that users could post theirs somewhere Otherwise the options functions of whihc I have explored only a few so far are amazing Godly customer support as well              Works as advertised
This app may be ok if you work with single song PDFs But for jazzers who need easy access to FakeBook compilations this app completely missed the mark You have no way to set a file as a compilation of tunes So the only option you have is to bookmark the page There are better options out there for managing FakeBook compilations like DeepDish GigBook or iGigBook        Somewhat disappointed
I use this app every Sunday while leading worship Also with the addition of AirTurn I never have to turn a page with my hands while playing the guitar                 LOVE this app
I like this app have been starting to use it onstage Works great with blueboard wireless pedal The only thing I wish it could do is acceptread text files and transpose chords              Almost perfect
Wonderful App for musicians                 Love It
I love UnrealBook and have been using it nonstop for a couple of years now I play in several bands and UnrealBook makes it possible for me to have all my music with me always without lugging around huge binders One secret feature that I found recently makes UB even more useful to me the db menu which allows me to filter my music by keywords Once I have the songs tagged I can find them by all kinds of ways Love the app                 love it
A thousand times better than all that paper I used to carry Thank you unrealBook                 Terrific app so many excellent features
Spendid app for professionals and hobbyists alike Also love the capabilities of attaching a Bluetooth pedal for hands free page turning for those longer than 1 page songs Just hoping that updates will keep in mind ipad1 users stuck with ios5 likely                 Unreal book
Using RB for a variety of documents Easy to use find files notes etc great app                 RealBook great app
As a professional bassist for nearly 42 years now I wish I had Unrealbook many years ago It is a fabulous tool                 Unreal Book is Great
I use this on a weekly basis I have never experienced a problem with the app The ability to make notes is the most handy Dropbox support is genius since I write my own charts I cant complain about anything Keep it up                 Works great
This application makes organizing my music seamless I love the ability to highlight add hot spots it really makes following and annotating the structure of the song very easy Much better than paper I play guitar for church and this application makes organizing set lists and maintain my music library simple Just a great application a great use of the iPad                 Capable comprehensive designed by a musician
